I have MASSIVE amounts of cleaning to do, so...
Just like my entry on my classy food preferences, now let me praise my favorite stupid movies.
1. Zoolander: Being brain-washed to kill the Malaysian Prime Minister, Mugato, played by Will Farrell: "Hey there Derek. My name is Little Cletus. I'm just a regular kid who wants you to know the real truth about child labor laws. They're silly and outdated." "and iron smelts! Yippee! Hooray!" "Obey my dog!"
2. Nacho Libre: Upon being seen in his quarters at the monastery as he dresses for his secret life as a luchador (wrestler). "Chancho. When you are a man... sometimes... you wear stretchy pants ... in your room... is for fun."
In response to Nacho's accusation that they never win because his wrestling partner only believes in science, (instead of God) "We never win because you are fat."
Trying to impress the new, piously beautiful nun: "They think I don't know a buttload of crap about the Gospel but I dooo."
3. What's Up Doc: Way too many to pick the funniest, but here goes:
"Don't shoot me, I'm part Italian!"
"Don't you dare strike that brave, unbalanced woman!"
"Well, there's not much to see. We're inside a Chinese dragon."
Judge and Bailiff
"Order in the court!"
"Order in the court!"
"Quiet!"
"Quiet!"
"You too!"
"Me too!"
Yes, I like Jane Austen movies and Life is Beautiful and other good and intelligent shows. But, I really like Nacho Libre, too.

Sometimes you just have to like stupid movies. Did you see the promo for the new Jack Black.
movie. (Sorry, about the incomplete sentence. There was someone really good on SYTYCD :).
"You will not say, 'Hi, my name is Howard.' Anyone can say that."
"Anyone named Howard"
"Use your charms." "Charms?" (trips her with leg)
"A Eunice Burns? A Eunice Burns? I am not A Eunice Burns, I am THE Eunice Burns!!"
Also, I would add Galaxy Quest to your list. Troy just rented a DVD of the original 1960's Star Trek episodes, so our kids could see what it was about, before he takes them to see the new movie that's out. I had never seen any Star Trek before, and I could not believe how incredibly, ridiculously cheesy it was. Suddenly I had a whole new appreciation for Galaxy Quest, which I have loved for years. You know how Sigourney Weaver wears that awful skin-tight cleavage revealing suit, and talks about how "I have one lousy job to do on this ship, It's stupid, but I'm going to do it." Well, I was just flabbergasted by the women in these original episodes - they look like Playboy bunnies go to outer space - I swear their dresses just barely covered their underwear. And they have these silly, fawning supportive roles. Oh, my gosh - so bad. And the special effects - really, really entertaining, but probably not in the way they intended. Holy cow. And speaking of Galaxy Quest (we were, right?) - today, it was Joshua's turn to read scriptures, and one point he yawned, but read through the yawn, which created this funny distortion of his voice. Everybody laughed, and he said didn't that sound just like Mathesar from Galaxy Quest, which led to some funny imitations before we could get back on track with the scriptures. (I'll just let you guess whether I was helping or hindering the whole getting back on track thing.)
So glad you posted so that I could join you in the avoidance of housework through blogging. :-)
Thanks for the additions.
Galaxy Quest : "Let's get out of here before one of them kills Guy."
Better Off Dead: "Gee Ricky, I'm sorry I blew up your mom's face." (I know that is off a little.)
"Its a shame when people start throwing away perfectly good white boys."
Keep adding to this list, please.
