Title: Top 100 Movies Featuring the Statue of Liberty
Post by: Ash on June 11, 2009, 09:46:56 PM
After reading the recent Ghostbusters 2 thread, I started thinking about all the movies the Statue of Liberty has been in.
She's been in tons of movies!

What other movies feature the Statue of Liberty?

I'll start it off:
1.) Remo Williams The Adventure Begins



(please, only one movie per response.  Thanks!  :smile:)

Just about any film with immigrants coming to America is going to have that shot of them spotting ol' Lady Liberty from the boat. So if those count:

10) TITANIC

Too bad we can't include TV show episodes. There's a kick-ass episode of Thundarr the Barbarian where the statue comes to life and shoots laser beams from her torch!

Ozzymandias speaks: I believe it is Abbott and Costello Goes to Mars where the Stature of Liberty pulls her dress up and lets a spaceship fly between her legs.

Spirit of 76 has the gag involving Julie Brown as a striper Miss Liberty in the year 1976. At the end the people of the future have a patriotic parade with a girl dressed in this striper's Miss Liberty outfit.


I know this has nothing to do with a movie, but one of the goofiest things I ever seen reguarding the Statue of Liberty was in front of a payday loan shop here in Springfield Mo. They hired girls to stand out in front of the store dress as the Statue of Liberty. I was at a stoplight in front of one of these stores and the girl dressed as the Statue of Liberty was about eight months pregnant.

Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

Ozzymandias speaks: I'm sorry I wasan't pay attention to the numbering. Also I found a clip on YouTube of the Abbott and Costello movie. The Statue of Liberty ducks instead of lifting her skirt.

15. Abbott and Costello Go To Mars
16. Spirit of 76
17. X-Men

Ha!
We have two of those stores here and they have girls do the same thing.
The place is called "American Payday Loans" or something.
