    This is Spinal Tap (1984) – votes: 21

    Nigel starts to play “Lick my love pump” on his piano, then suddenly stops. “No, I’m denying you my essence”. Suddenly he explodes (dozens of people combust each year). The only thing left is a little green globule. Mora of a stain than a globule, actually.

    WINNER: Dr. Strangelove

    2. THIS LANDING IS GONNA BE PRETTY INTERESTING
    Serenity (2005) – votes: 10
    The Princess Bride (1987) – votes: 37

    Suddenly in comes Chicken Little! “THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!”
    “You can’t take the sky from me”, cries Serenity desperately, bit it s too late. Chicken Little and Serenity hides beneath an albino, beneath a wheel barrow.

    WINNER: The Princess Bride

    3. WITH A BIT OF A MIND FLIP
    The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) – votes: 33
    Labyrinth (1986) – votes: 15

    At this time, I was thinking of collecting all jokes about Bowies pants, but that would need a bracket by itself. But the Goblin King is lost in his own maze.

    WINNER: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

    4. QUIET, DIGNITY AND GRACE
    Young Frankenstein (1974) – votes: 9
    Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) – votes: 39

    There is a possibility of electrocution. And as in all movies, mentioning a possibility makes it a certainity.

    WINNER: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    5. AND THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW… THE WORLD!
    Time Bandits (1981) – votes: 28
    Groundhog Day (1993) – votes: 16

    The kitchen was out of déjà vu.

    WINNER: Time Bandits
