I'd have to go with The Big Lebowski. It's got Sam Elliot, in a very brief role that managed to steal the movie, doing a voice over that just set the tone for the movie.(re: strange)
Way out west there was this fella I wanna tell ya' about. Goes by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for himself. See, this Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, Dude, there's a name no man would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, like-wise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. See, they call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels", but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. 'Course I aint never been to London, and I aint never seen France. And I aint never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the fella says. But I'll tell you what, after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd seen in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face. Without feelin' like the good lord gipped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place in the early nineties - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the eye-rackies. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man, I wont say a hero, cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here - The dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man, and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County. Which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here.
And it fades to the Dude sniffing an open milk carton in the supermarket wearing his boxers and an old, torn up bath robe.

Snoota had this to say about the Spice Girls:
I'm bored and feeling like Kenn again. Whether it be an opening conversation, an action scene, explosions, a funny moment, sex... anything! What do you think is the movie with the best opening?
I've heard good things about the opening scene to Touch of Evil.
Should I get off work by 5pm, I hope to catch it on The Essentials tonight.
It's not something people hear about.
THIS IS BAT COUNTRY!
Great movie... funny as hell.

Legonaire had this to say about pies:
My memory is a tad blurry, but I think it was the Omaha seen from Saving private Ryan. ( Was that at the beggining ?? )
Yes, Yes it was. And it kicked ass. Not as much ass as the opeaning assassination in the Profesional.
