Although it bombed in the box office (and the ending sucked), I love Yellowbeard. Especially the part where Madeline Kahn tries to remember the directions to the treasure (get shot, fall down, roll, roll, crawl, stumble....) and all the british soldiers follow.

Another favorite.

I have to mention "A Shot In The Dark" with Peter Sellers. I believe it was the first of the Inspector Clusoe Character that became famous in the Pink Panther series. The scene in the nudist camp is a riot!
I think this was mentioned, I also have a fondness for "In Like Flint" I wish I had his MOJO!

...and his 'ringtones'!
 
Killing Zoe- When Zed gets introduced to the crew.

Clerks- When they are playing hockey on the roof and lose the ball.

Rasing Arizona- When Mr. Arizona is yelling at the FBI. I have that whole scene written out from a movie magazine.

Career Opportunities- When Jimmy's called the "town lier" and when his old man yells at him.

Full Metal Jacket- Drill Sargent Hartman
 
Dr Strangelove

A quote from General Jack D Ripper in Dr Strangelove

"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."
 
Punishment Park -- a 1971 faux documentary by Peter Watkins. Very subversive, and still very relevant.

Naked -- by Mike Leigh, 1993

Louise: Why didn't you tell me you were comin'? I would a' met you off the train.

Johnny: I didn't come on the f***in' train.

Louise: Off the bus then.

Johnny: I didn't come on the bus either.

Louise: So 'ow did you get 'ere then?

Johnny: Well, basically, there was this little dot, right? And the dot went bang and the bang expanded. Energy formed into matter, matter cooled, matter lived, the amoeba to fish, to fish to fowl, to fowl to frog, to frog to mammal, the mammal to monkey, to monkey to man, amo amas amat, quid pro quo, memento mori, ad infinitum, sprinkle on a little bit of grated cheese and leave under the grill till Doomsday.
 
A short film about killing -- Krzysztof Kieslowski, 1988

The only time I've seen an execution portrayed realistically on film. Essential.


and finally:

Land and Freedom -- Ken Loach, 1995

And anti-epic about the Spanish civil war. Aside from the themes of idealism and betrayal, it also portrays warfare realistically.
 
Trey Parkers Orgasmo (A mormon door knocker turns pornstar).

The funniest sicko (look away a dozen times to cringe Eewwwwweeeee! type sicko) cult movie – Killer Condom (It’s German, which explains a lot).
 
Now that you mention the übergay :

Faustrecht der Freiheit, Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
(aka Fox and his friends)

Great movie about the transition of the fatherland to the Merc society.
Unfortunately, in 1975 i only had eyes for the De Tomaso Pantera supercar in the movie.

For quite some time "Trainspotting" was my favourite movie.😉

Good to see PD supporting British film! ...and to repay the favour... Shawshank Redemption (not exactly cult, but probably my favourite film of all time).

As for my favourite scene it would have to be the dramatic prison break.

If anyone reading hasn't seen it I would HIGHLY recommend it.

Awesome film. Loved it.

Death Race 2000:

"Ohhhhh! Big Joe Scores his own Pit Crew!!!"

Team America: World Police (The sex scene with the puppets is worth the rental on it's own)

My advice...Stick with the theatrical version of Team America....
"Bad intelligence!" 😉

My other favorites that come to mind, forgive the randomness:

The Princess Bride - "inconceivable"
"My name is inigo montoya. you killed my father. prepare to die."

The eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
-- really a mood piece for me, great flick.

Office Space - "PC Load Letter....What the F*** does that mean?"
"...until that no talent a$$ clown started winning grammies."

Young Frankenstein - well, really almost any Brooks flick.

Monty Python movies.
Father: "She's got ...huge...tracts of land"
Prince: "But I don't want any land" and the whole scene that follows where John Cleese attacks a wedding party.
Sorcerer "Tim"
Sex ed class
The odd "space ship" break during the chase scene in life of brian

Pulp Fiction
"Zed's dead, baby"
-the part where John travolta "gets it"

I am a big fan of the non sequiteur - always looking for movies that have that, as well.
 
Trainspotting

there is a sinister streak to this director, the only memorable thing in a movie that has disturbed me more than the baby dieing of neglect was the sinking hopless feeling of despair throughout the whole of 28 days later. This is not a critiscism.
I also liked 28 weeks (different director) and I think it was a flop at the box office, rumor has it theres a third movie, but due to the lack of sucess of 28 weeks, its on the backburner.
