Sometimes our roommates make us sit down with them and watch horrible movies. (Anyone know why Comedy Central would think it was a good idea to play "40 Days and 40 Nights"?) So we're always surprised when we laugh out loud at one of these cinematic disasters. Here, we present 10 movies that caught us by surprise, at least for a minute.
"Good Burger" (1997)Dexter (Kenan) tells Ed (Kel) that he wants out of their "partnership."
Ed: "Is it because I'm black?"
"Excess Baggage" (1997)Kidnapper and Kidnappee start to get cozy; this is awkward for everyone and requires an escape plan:
Vincent: "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."Emily: "What's the hard way?" Vincent: "It's harder. It's harder than the easy way. That's what I know."
"Drive Me Crazy" (1999)Chase, resident bad boy, undergoes a preppy makeover as a means to making his ex-girlfriend Dulcie jealous.
Chase: "I didn't expect you to fall in love."Dulcie: "I didn't expect you to fall into the Gap!"
"Deep Blue Sea" (1999)In the interest of mankind, a preacher (played by LL Cool J) shares his secret omelet recipe as he walks through the valley of the shadow of death, about to be eaten by a member of Jaws' extended family.
"We will start with the perfect omelet, which is made with two eggs, not three. Some amateurs use milk to add density. This is a mistake."
"Josie and the Pussycats" (2001)In the opening sequence, we see Melody holding a poster by the side of the road. Zoom in to the partially obstructed poster:
"Honk if you love Pussy" (cars screech and crash, Melody, bewildered, wanders away from the tree blocking the rest of the message: "-cats.")
"40 Days and 40 Nights" (2002)Matt, who has given up sex for the whole of Lent, finally gets some at the end. His friends (who have been wagering on his ability to make it through the 40 days) bet about his ability to...ahem...last a little longer with his girlfriend.
First friend: "He can't last in there another 24 hours. He'll die."Second friend: "How much you want to bet?"FF: "How much do I want to bet that he'll actually die? (pause) I'll put ten bucks on it."
"Snow Dogs" (2002)Ted (played by Cuba Gooding, Jr.) travels to Alaska and discovers his long-lost father. His wife Amelia calls him to check in:
Amelia: "Hey, honey. How's Alaska?" Ted: "Oh, just great. Everything's white. Including my father!" "Alex and Emma" (2003)Novelist Alex narrates his Gatsby-esque protagonist's internal struggle to stenographer Emma:
"He was racked with confusion. For the first time in his life, he understood the true meaning of the expressions 'on the horns of a dilemma' and 'between a rock and a hard place,' although the concept of 'paying through the nose' had always tormented him. How does money get in the nose in the first place? Once in, is it pulled out by hand, or is a sneeze involved? And who would accept such a transaction?"
"Taxi" (2004)Washburn, a bumbling cop, tries to go undercover as a Cuban drug dealer and is confronted by real Cuban mobsters.
"You ask me where I'm from? What part am I from? Eeh... What part of Havana? You know... ah... around the corner of... um... Castro... Street."
"EuroTrip" (2004)One of globe-trotting Scotty's friends is an anal-retentive fanny-pack sporter.
Jamie: "It's a traveler's money belt. Frommer's says if you have one of these, no one can rob you of anything." Scott: "Except your dignity."
