Here are some of the quotes from "Top Secret"
Cedric:
"Do you know any good white basketball players?"
Blindman:
"There are no good white basketball players my friend!"
Hillary:
"Who do you favor in the Virginia Slims Tournament?"
Blindman:
"In women's tennis I always root against the heterosexual."
Hillary:
"My uncle was born in America."
Nick:
"Oh, Really?"
Hillary:
"But he was one of the lucky ones. He managed to escape in a balloon during the Jimmy Carter presidency."
Von Horst: (picking up the phone)
"It is the hospital meine General."
General Streck: (taking the phone)
"What is the condition of Sergent Krugger? Yes... I see... Well, let me know if there is any change in his condition."
General Streck: (talking to people in the room)
"He's dead!"
General Streck talking to Nick.
General Streck:
"Your friend (Martin) didn't realize that here in East Germany we use 220 Volts current. He was found in his hotel room impaled on a large electrical device. Our surgeon did what they could but it took them 2 hours just to get the smile off his face."
Von Horst:
"They're still working on him. They've tried everything. He won't break. Do you want me to bring out the Leroy Neiman paintings?"
General Streck:
"No, we cannot risk violating the Geneva convention."
Dr. Flammond:
"A year ago, I was close to perfecting the first magnetic desalinization process. So revolutionary, it was capable of removing the salt of over 500 million gallons of sea water a day. Do you realize what that could mean to the starving nations of the earth."
Nick:
"Wow, they would have enough salt to last them forever."
Red Dawn was very politically incorrect - all about American kids killing scumbag Russian and Cuban communists.
Not a one of them wore a Che shirt.
George C. Scott in the "The Hospital". The medical industry really gets it in the behind.
I'll be 31 in 3 weeks and remember my parents taking me to the movie theater to see it.
Team America should be higher than Something About Mary.
What? No "Animal House"?
"Team America...?"
My wife found a copy on a DVD at a flea market. The man selling it said it was originally made for England. I didn't think that it was offensive at all (except to someone looking to be offended). I'm not sure if it is pre or post civil war (AKA The War of Northern Agression). There was a family of poor whites living across the way from Uncle Remus. Also, Uncle Remus deceides to leave and go somewhere else. So, I think it is supposed to be set post war.
Except for being set on a "plantation" I didn't see anything offensive. Uncle Remus was kind and wise, unlike some of the white characters.
There’s Something About Mary
From the moment I walked into the movie until I left I laughed. I could not believe how stupidly funny the movie was. However, seeing it on DVD years later it did not have the same effect. Next time do not drink beer during dinner before going to the movies...lol.
Too bad Charlie Sheen and Patrick Swayze ended up being such moonbats.
"I like working with retards."
How are those not politically correct? The left loves to stick it to conventional values. Most of those are leftist movies...
"Song of the South" to go on sale in '06
Jim Hill shares what he just heard from his sources deep inside Buena Vista Home Entertainment. That a DVD of this long supressed Disney classic will finally hit store shelves in the Fall of 2006.

I know that it's been a really rough winter so far. But who would have thought that Hell was gonna to freeze over?
"What do I mean by that?," you ask. Well, I just got word that Buena Vista Home Entertainment will be releasing "Song of the South" on DVD in the Fall of 2006.
That's right. "Song of the South." The Academy Award winning film that former Disney Feature Animation head Thomas Schumacher once told Roger Ebert was on "permanent moratorium" has reportedly been greenlit for release late next year. A special 60th anniversary edition that -- thanks to a plethora of extra features -- will try & put this somewhat controversial motion picture in historial context.
"Why -- after all these years -- did Disney finally give in?," you query. It's simple, really. "Song of the South" 's 60th anniversary was simply too good a promotional hook for the Mouse's marketing staff to pass up. More to the point, Buena Vista Home Entertainment could really use a hit right about now.
Don't believe me? Then go check out Disney's financial reports for the first quarter of 2005. Where you'll discover that the Mouse's accountants actually blame the 20% drop in revenue that the company's Studio Entertainment division recently experienced on lower DVD sales of current-year films.
Given that Disneyana fans have been clamoring for a "Song of the South" DVD for nearly a decade now, BVHE execs are hoping that all of this pent-up demand will eventually translate in really big sales for this disc. Disney is hoping to sell at least 10-12 million units of this particular motion picture.
"But aren't Disney Company execs concerned about how the African American community may response to 'Song of the South' 's release of DVD?," you continue. Yep. I won't lie to you folks. There's a lot of people in the Team Disney Burbank building who are very concerned that -- by releasing this much maligned motion picture on home video & DVD -- that the Mouse House is potentially opening itself up to a ton of bad publicity.
With the hope of avoiding that, BVHE reportedly plans to really pile on the extra features with "Song of the South." Among the ideas currently being knocked around is producing a special documentary that -- through use of clips from that TV movie version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella" that Disney produced back in 1997 as well as sequences from "The Proud Family" & "That's So Raven" -- would demonstrate that a person's color really doesn't matter at the modern Walt Disney Company. There's also talk of including Walt Disney Feature Animation's seldom-seen short, "John Henry," as one of the disc's special features.
Buena Vista Home Entertainment is also supoosedly toying with approaching a prominent African-American performer to serve as the MC on the DVD version of "Song of the South." You know, someone who could then introduce the film, explain its historical significance as well as re-enforcing the idea that "SOTS" was a product of a much less enlightened time in Hollywood's history. I'm told that -- up until recently -- Bill Cosby was actually at the top of Disney's wish list. But now that Dr. Cosby has been accused of inappropriate behavior with several ladies ... Well, let's just say that Bill is no longer Mickey's top choice for this position.
Anywho ... There's one other aspect of this "Song-of-the-South"-soon-on-on-DVD saga that I guess I should mention. Which is why Buena Vista Home Entertainment is low-balling its predictions of the number of units that "SOTS" might sell (I.E. 10-12 million versus "Finding Nemo" 's 39 million+ units). Why is that, do you suppose? Mind you, it's not because "Song of the South" is decidedly old fashioned (Well, what do you expect from a 60 year-old motion picture?), but rather .... Here, why don't I let my source inside BVHE explain:
"This movie isn't nearly as good as people seem to remember it being. Sure, the animated sequences are charming. But the pace of the rest of the picture is so damned pokey.
Which is why I seriously doubt that we'll get all that many letters about "Song of the South" 's racial content. The way I figure it, most kids & adults will be nodding off 30 minutes into the thing. And people who are sleeping can't write letters of complaint."
Well, I don't know about that. But what I can tell you folks is to stop bidding NOW on those black market "SOTS" DVDs that keep popping up on eBay. For -- if you can just wait another 17-18 months -- you can actually purchase a really-for-real authorized version of Disney's "Song of the South" of your very own.

This is from last year. We shall see if it comes true...
Good call
It is one of my all time favorities with The Producers and Bedazzled (the originals).
I've never seen a version when Mrs. Cleaver drops the n-bomb.
And she actually says "Chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help!"
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"
Nice shots at the media as presstitutes.
And how popular public figures often reach their apogee thanks to unknown heroes.
Almost forgot The Loved One.
...and is the basis for Splash Mountain, the most popular ride at Disney's Magic Kingdom. Wonder how many kids love the ride, but scratch their heads wondering who the featured characters are.
