Victor/Victoria A rival bar owner hires a private detective who discovers that Victor (Julie Andrews) is really Victoria. The police arrive backstage and the chief detective goes into the dressing room to investigate, confronting a naked (Robert Preston). A moment later, he comes back out and announces, “If the person in that room is a woman, she was wearing the greatest disguise I have ever seen!” The following scene where he takes over her role and announces in a very deep bass voice that this is her "last performance" is a classic!
What's Up Doc? The final court scene where all the silliness that the whole movie encompasses is explained — unsuccessfully, especially when the judge discovers that the girl troublemaker hidden under the blanket is actually his own daughter (Barbara Streisand).
The Trouble With Angels Haley Mills: “I have the most scathingly brilliantidea!” The girls go off to have a private conversation in the basement and discover cigars left by the janitor. The resulting smoke coming from the window makes an old nun think the place is on fire and she calls out the fire department.
Time Bandits The Devil thinks a group of midgets have a map of the time holes leftover after God created the universe. His assistant keeps following him around begging, “Kill me Master! Kill me!” The gang, led by an innocent little boy, robs Napoleon, escapes through a time hole, and then gets robbed themselves by Robin Hood!
Steel Magnolias The locker room scene where Olympia Dukakis gives an oblivious TV interview, while behind her, Shirley MacLaine can’t keep her eyes off the naked guys passing by on the way to the showers, and also the funeral scene, where out of the blue, Olympia holds Shirley forth, offering her to Sally Field, screaming “Sock her! Knock her lights out!” to get her (and us) to laugh.
Coming soon — Part Three!!! Stay tooned, uh, tuned!

The "Son of a Bitch" scene is from where the real team rolls his truck over in the parking lot

You're getting there, but I was wondering why these particular scenes and what they mean for you?
For instance, in the personal touchstone that is the classic comedy movie "Animal House" (definitely always one of the first films on my personal desert island movies list!), I love that scene where they put the horse in the Dean's office and when the late great John Belushi fires the starting pistol, it has a heart attack.
There's an awful but classic moment when the horse gives such a startled look, like it just realised it was about to drop dead on the spot, that for some moment cracks me up every time. I just can't stop laughing every time I see it! Sick but true...

Chris, on part one of this series, somehow the "Part One" disappeared off my title, and the "Stay tuned for Part 2" off the end.
When posting, I click the series button, but the two choices don't apply, any advice?

My advice woiuld be to send a message through the Yahoo group. You have signed up for that, right?

No, I've tried, but the ID and password for my TV listings keeps popping up, and I don't know if I can have two IDs or not, or if it's okay to use my TV ID for the group too???

No idea. What does it say in the email you got from BC when you were accepted..?

After reading "Watch what you say on the internet" and what happened to Steve, it might be a moot point anyway.
