26. Zack And Miri Make A Porno (2008)

Kevin Smiths underrated 2008 romantic comedy Zack And Miri Make A Porno put a raunchy but sweet spin on the trusty Lets put on a show template that fueled many a Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney musical (and breakdancesploitation cheapie). Only this time the show is a homemade Star Wars-themed porn movie and the plucky young upstarts a pair of down-and-out platonic best friends (Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks) who decide to make the beast with two backs onscreen as a way of getting out of debt. The lusty neophytes struggle to make a porn film with no budget, untested stars, and funky, makeshift locations like a coffee shop, but the trickiest variable aspiring pornographers Rogen and Banks face is their growing romantic attraction to one another.

The Film: Mallrats (1995)

The Line: One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck up his ass. True story. He bought it at our local mall, so the whole fiasco wound up on the news.

It was embarrassing for my relatives and all, but next week, he did it again. Different cat, same results, complete with another trip to the emergency room.

So, I run into him a week later in the mall and he’s buying another cat. And I says to him, Jesus, Walt! What are you doing? You know you’re just gonna get this cat stuck up your ass too. Why don’t you knock it off?

And he said to me, Brodie, how the hell else am I supposed to get the gerbil out? My cousin was a weird guy.
