Aside from the 'Taxi Driver' reference, 'The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle' was a pretty great movie; I tend to think of that as the last time DeNiro was actually in a good comedy. (Bonus points due to the fact that, according to the commentary, it sounds like, as a producer, he actually pushed pretty hard for the

Whatever happened to just a good-ol'-fashioned "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow"?

There was a guy I used to work with at RadioShack- he claimed to be a ST fan. Anyway, he swore up and down that 'The Royale' was the best episode in the history of Trek (followed by that episode where Wesley nearly gets kicked out of the academy for performing an illegal flight maneuver). In my nightmares, I'm stuck

"I Just Called To Say I Love You".

WTF? I replied to the Cosby quote a few threads down. How did this get here?

I can't be bothered to look, but if comedy bits are being added to the Library of Congress' historical archives, PLEASE tell me that Carlin's "7 Words" is in there. If ever there was a culturally significant comedy bit, there's that, and Richard Pryor running down the street on fire.

I would assume it's meant to imply that Crystal Skulls should be even MORE embarrassed now, that a low-budget TV movie from a couple decades ago beat it at it's own game, even with Richard Dean Anderson's Mullet being the biggest name attached to the project, followed immediately by Richard Dean Anderson himself.

That (post-nose job Jennifer Grey) was beautifully meta; if I recall, her character was bitter about the fact that she'd gotten the nose job, and wasn't able to score gigs anymore.

Seriously?
Ok….I rank 'The Great Divorce' as one of Lewis better' non-Narnia fictions, but— WTF? If I'm looking through a list of Lewis books to be adapted to movie, 'The Great Divorce' is NOT on my list.

"Snoopy!!! The Musical" was a pseudo-sequel to "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown". It was written by no-one who had any hand in writing the original, and focuses more on Snoopy than Charlie Brown, BUT has the outstanding "Poor, Sweet Baby" segment, which alone makes the show worth seeing.

Operation: Wolf was where it was at. Back in the day, no matter how tall you were, you'd have to stand on a chair to get enough leverage to actually move the attached gun enough that you could shoot at the oncoming missles. It was minutes of

Dammit!!
I lost.

If, like me, your first Doctor was the 4th, and thanks to living somewhere without regular airings of Doctor Who, you missed out on Davison, I would actually strongly recommend going back and watching 'The Five Doctors'. Doesn't help much with trying to get a handle on the Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy years, but

If I recall from past seasons, BBC (UK) generally has about a 2-3 week break in the middle of the run, during which, generally, the World Cup airs. BBCA has only taken a 1-week break (not sure why). I would assume that BBCA tries to allow for any sort of large lag of that sort on BBC (UK)'s part. Also, Doctor Who

So, I'm going to be the only one…
to claim he was the best Master ever?

4/ The Day The Clown Cried
5/ Not suing the shit out of Warner Bros for every time a ridiculous "Jerry Lewis" character showed up in Animaniacs.

Yes, yes- welcome to every Queen message board on the internet: "Nobody will ever be able to match Freddie". Can we forget about that for a moment?
