Mine is in "Cannonball Run", the part where Mel Tillis and Terry Bradshaw are driving and the hood pops open. Mel Tillis (who stutters in real life), sings "I can't see sh*t can you?". . . the reason he does this, is because people who stutter do not stutter when they sing. It is said that if you stutter, and in an emergency need to say something, you sing it, especially since the excitement of an emergency sometimes amplifies a person's stutter. Sounds funny, but it's true, I have several family members that stutter. Anyways, I always laugh at that part, and have explained it to people I watched it with. . I've yet to meet anyone that understood this joke. What's yours?

I've heard that before about stutterers not stuttering when they sing.  Scatman John (a singer), stuttered, but was able to sing and mentioned it in one of his songs. 

As far as things in movies I get and others don't, there's quite a few, but I can't think of them right now.

A lot of the movies I watch, people just throw their hands up in the air.  I mean, I like Ed Wood, and nobody else likes it.

A lot of people I know said they didn't get V for Vendetta.  I'm not sure what about it they didn't get, they only said the film was confusing, but I do live in a redneck town, so that might explain a little.

Monsters Inc. I'm in the theatre with my family when Mike Wazowski boasts that he's got reservations to "Harry Hausen's!"

My lonely laughter rang out in an otherwise quiet theatre...

It's a reference to Ray Harryhausen, stop-motion monster maker extraordinaire.

Katie and I had a similar moment when we saw "Shrek 2" in the theater.  At one point Shrek utters a frustrated oath similar to "What in the name of Grimm?"  The place was pretty full, but it was only us and one other guy laughing.  Everyone else was completely quiet.

Lol, booted out of a thread I started, , , Can't a guy get some love around here???

I've always liked seeins movies and shows with cultural references in them. One of my favorite shows, Sealab 2021 does it all the time, all kinds of star wars/Apocalypse Now/Aliens references, and a bunch of others. They always screw it up in the end. I especially liked one where they re-enact the "Why do they want you to terminate my command?" conversation of Apocalypse now, and it ends with "You're a delivery boy, sent by grocery clerks to collect the bill. . so. . . WET WILLIE!!!!"
Anyways, , funny show. .

In Scary Movie 3 where Leslie Nielsen knocks the girl into the well and says "I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you..." 

I was the only guy in the a theater full of people laughing at that comment.

This one was in a TV show, but it referenced a movie. It was one of those guest spots William Shatner did on Third Rock From The Sun as another one of the aliens. He was telling Dick, played by John Lithgow, of a plane flight he just took, saying that he kept seeing a man on the wing of the plane. Dick looked at him aghast and exclaimed, "That happened to me once, too!!"

Damn, I nearly rolled out of the room I was laughing so hard. Everyone around me just looked puzzled.
