I'm laughing about that scene now.

Haha - those are always the best moments. I always find those in the oddest places, and they always make my day. I will have to check the movie out.

A few that come to mind in my case:
THE MALTESE FALCON (Huston)
THE WIZARD OF OZ (Fleming)
THE LETTER (Wyler)
HIS GIRL FRIDAY (Hawks)

I put the director name to specify which version I mean.

Mine will be a VERY short list. It would consist of THE THING (Carpenter) and...uh...uhm...yep.

If you do a "Not-Favorite Remakes," though, I can whine all over that til the cows come home. Sean flippin' Bean in The Hitcher, anyone? Rob Zombie's atrocious mangling of Halloween?
