I’ll pose a question as my contribution: which two films end with scenes where the lead actress is apparently unaware that it’s raining? ---

Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear addressing Woody- “You are a sad, strange little man.” Tim Allen as Toy Santa in The Santa Clause 2 addressing Scott Calvin- “You are a sad, strange little man.” ---

I haven’t seen the first movie, so I don’t know if he actually says the line in it, but Sean Connery’s response to Molly Peters as nurse Patricia Fearing in _Thunderball_ when she asks about getting together again, is “Another Time, Another Place” Connery had appeared in the film “Another Time, Another Place” in 1958, and it’s an obvious reference. ---

In both “Day at the Races” and “Night at the Opera,” Harpo Marx says, " ". It was uncanny - the same exact thing. I think he may have said it in at least one other movie, but I’m not sure. It may have been “Coconuts,” but I’m not sure. ---

Tim Allen and Tom Hanks give their voices to a short scene in which the “Buzz” car gets to say, “You are a sad, strange little car; you have my pity.” For that matter, John Ratzenberger has been used as a voice actor in almost all of Pixar’s movies. Mack the truck, voiced by Ratzenberger, is in the movie audience, and watches several scenes in which HIS characters appeared, repeating their most famous lines. For a while, Mack is thrilled, but then he gets annoyed and says, “What kind of cheap outfit is this? They keep using the same guy over and over!” ---

Not a “same line” but a “same shot.” House of Sand and Fog, Requiem for a Dream, and Dark City each feature a long shot of **Jennifer Connelly** standing at the end of a long pier, like so: [House of Sand and Fog](http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/9958/houseofsandandfog.png) [Requiem for a Dream](http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9195/requiemforadream.png) [Dark City](http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7045/darkcity.png) Her signature shot, I guess. ---

Per wikipedia, Rob Schneider has uttered the line “You can do it!” as a running gag in Adam Sandler’s films **The Waterboy** , **Little Nicky** , **50 First Dates** , **The Longest Yard** , and **Bedtime Stories** , as well as in a deleted scene from **Click**.
