#64 is "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

I firmly believe "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" is the greatest comedic movie (and one of the ten best movies) ever made.

"Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

I have to say that I was not as impressed by BB as some people seem to be. I am convinced that the program was intended to be a black comedy at first, then morphed into the tangled soap opera it became. But I will credit the creative team with inventing some memorable stories and characters. And Walt alternated between being a sympathetic soul and a total b_stard.

So many great moments in Animal House. One of the all time best comedies ever.

Ghostbusters is up there too.

“.Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning’s sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds...”
