It has been used dozens of times in the entertainment field. \*\* Well yeah, but we are talking about movies here. I checked out the site and they don’t list any popular movies that use the line (aside from Blazing Saddles), unless you consider UHF a popular movie. What I meant was, to me, the origin of the line was always like “Play it again Sam” (incorrect, I know), or “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” as in the origin was obvious. I thought you were giving me undo credit. Okay, one more for the weekend: L4L - 10 A boy hangs himself, then has dinner with his mother. ---

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Though I’m pretty sure there’s no “badges?” reference in the Three Amigos. I’ll watch my DVD again tonight, just to be sure. 🙂 ---

You guys are good so I’m going for obscure now: z3…an electric iron shorts out causing a dress to be burned with disastrous results. z4…a gentleman drops his pants in order to take a dump in the snow.

No guesses on NDP 25? Let me restate it: NDP 25 - A man recuperating from a mental breakdown listens to a composition by Mozart while a guest in his room tells of the piece’s therapeutic effect. I’m not going to take any guesses on M1-M4 and M6-M7 but, for everyone else, I’ll mention that regular viewers of MST3K should be familiar with these movies. > [@](#): > > VA1 - A young guy, who is replacing some lights, has a brief talk to an older guy. Is this “Back to the Future II”?
