Ahhh!!! I can't choose one. It would be a toss up between these:

The Birdcage, Death to Smoochy, Soapdish, Drop Dead Gorgeous, or Clue

Death to Smoochy

I don't think I've ever seen anyone else reference this film, ever. I watched it far too young, my parents got it in a pile of cheap DVD's thinking it was a typical Robin Williams kid friendly comedy, and it scarred me.. 😂

One of my favorite dark comedies. Ridiculous yet hilarious. RIP Robin Williams.

Death to Smoochy is so underappreciated. Fantastic movie.

+1 for drop dead gorgeous, my favorite comedy along with muppets from space.

Just so many great lines, great characters, awesome cast. Between its age and non-mainstream release, it is one of those gems that easily gets overlooked.

I was just mentioning Britanny Murphy’s performance to my husband the other day, she was such an island of (hilarious) sincerity in a perfect river of satire.

Also I think I say “it’d be real easy” like … once a week?

“Drive me home?”

“Don’t let her fool you, she lives two trailers down!”

“So? It’d be real easy!”

I didn't realize until years later that Amy Adams was the cheerleader.
