What exactly is the big heroic deed here? Growing a giant freak vegetable?::Leo: More or less...::Cass: And said mutant tuber has the potential to win you the game?::Leo: I don't think turnips are tubers.::Cass: So... your empire's at war, and regardless of the tactical or economic realities on the ground, you could theoretically win a military conflict by growing a turgid bit of purple stew-bait.::Leo: [smiling] Hey. I have an idea how to end this flashback.::Cass: Oh?::[Leo slaps him]

The Producers (2005)

Actors: David Huddleston (actor), Uma Thurman (actress), Nathan Lane (actor), Rick Kain (actor), Andrea Martin (actress), Michael McKean (actor), Will Ferrell (actor), Matthew Broderick (actor), Mel Brooks (actor), Mel Brooks (actor), Jon Lovitz (actor), Richard Kind (actor), Robert Bizik (actor), Jonathan Sanger (producer), Mel Brooks (producer),

Plot: New York, 1959. Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway, but now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he's visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called Springtime for Hitler written by escaped Nazi Franz Liebken. Then they get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct. Finally, they hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (whose last name has over 15 syllables). As opening night draws near, what can go wrong? Well, there's no accounting for taste...

(actor), Dion Rupa (actor), Frank Usamanont (actor),

Plot: The story of Silent But Deadly is quite simple. George Lucas decides he's had enough of plot-revealing Star Wars fan Web sites. He dispatches his most crafty enforcers, a pair of no-nonsense Imperial Stormtroopers (well, there's quite a bit of nonsense actually), to eliminate the Webmasters of those sites. In Silent But Deadly 2, the troopers are summoned from a seaside vacation to neutralize the latest threat: a crazed fan who has gone on a rampage after waiting in too many Star Wars lines. Silent But Deadly 3 combines characters from the first two and concludes the trilogy in a grand fashion.

Plot: George is a modern-day traveler literally stuck in movie history, looking for a way out. Ever so soon having fallen in love with Marguerite, he stumbles from one film classic into another, taking him from the silent movie era right through the high tech blockbusters of the late 1990's. Every now and then George bumps into Marguerite once again so he can further kindle his blooming affair with her. As the journey unfolds, the audience literally won't stay untouched and will wonder just as hard as George and Marguerite do: where does it all end?

Genres: Comedy, Family, Fantasy, Short,

Yet as Hitler's hold on power grows more sure, and Berlin erupts in a ferment of anti-Semitism, Zishe must decide how he will use his strength. Plagued by nightmares, he takes counsel from a local rabbi. He becomes convinced that he has been chosen by God to warn his people of the grave danger they face.

[Ponda Baba gives Luke a rough shove and starts yelling at Luke in an alien language which Luke doesn't understand]::Dr. Evazan: [explaining] He doesn't like you.::Luke: Sorry.::Dr. Evazan: [grabbing Luke] *I* don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.::Luke: I'll be careful.::Dr. Evazan: You'll be dead!::Obi-Wan: [intervening] This little one's not worth the effort. Come, let me get you something.::[Dr. Evazan shoves Luke across the room and pulls out a blaster]::Bartender: No blasters! No blasters!::[Obi-Wan ignites his lightsaber, killing Dr. Evazan and severing Ponda Baba's arm]

Darth Vader: I have you now!

Luke: You know, I think that R2 unit we bought may have been stolen.::Uncle Owen: What makes you think that?::Luke: Well, I stumbled across a recording while I was cleaning him. He says that he belongs to someone named Obi-Wan Kenobi. I thought he might have meant old Ben. Do you know what he's talking about?::Uncle Owen: Uh-uh.::Luke: I wonder if he's related to Ben.::Uncle Owen: That wizard is just a crazy old man. Now, tomorrow I want you to take that R2 unit to Anchorhead and have its memory erased. That'll be the end of it. It belongs to us now.::Luke: But what if this Obi-Wan comes looking for him?::Uncle Owen: He won't. I don't think he exists anymore. He died about the same time as your father.::Luke: He knew my father?::Uncle Owen: I told you to forget it.

Darth Vader: He is here.::Governor Tarkin: Obi-Wan Kenobi? What makes you think so?::Darth Vader: A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.::Governor Tarkin: Surely he must be dead by now.::Darth Vader: Don't underestimate the Force.::Governor Tarkin: The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that's left of their religion. [answering a comm signal] Yes?::Voice over comm: We have an emergency alert in detention block AA-23.::Governor Tarkin: The Princess? Put all sections on alert.::Darth Vader: Obi-wan *is* here. The Force is with him.::Governor Tarkin: If you're right, he must not be allowed to escape.::Darth Vader: Escape is not his plan. I must face him, alone.

General Tagge: What of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a complete technical reading of this station, it is possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness and exploit it.::Darth Vader: The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.::Admiral Motti: Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it!::Darth Vader: Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.::Admiral Motti: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient Jedi religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you enough clairvoyance to find the rebels' hidden fortress...::[Vader makes a pinching motion and Motti starts choking]::Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith disturbing.::Governor Tarkin: Enough of this! Vader, release him!::Darth Vader: As you wish.::[He does]

Princess Leia: No! Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly...::Governor Tarkin: [impatiently] You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: *Where* is the rebel base?::Princess Leia: ...Dantooine. They're on Dantooine.::Governor Tarkin: There. You see, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation; you may fire when ready.::Princess Leia: WHAT?::Governor Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration - but don't worry; we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

Obi-Wan: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did.::Luke: What is it?::Obi-Wan: Your father's light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire.

Obi-Wan: There was nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there. You'd have been killed too, and the droids would now be in the hands of the Empire.::Luke: I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.

Aunt Beru: Where are you going?::Luke: Looks like I'm going nowhere... I'm gonna finish cleaning those 'droids.::Aunt Beru: [after Luke leaves] Owen, he can't stay here forever, most of his friends have gone. It means so much to him.::Uncle Owen: Well, I'll make it up to him next year, I promise.::Aunt Beru: Luke's just not a farmer, Owen. He has too much of his father in him.::Uncle Owen: That's what I'm afraid of.

Officer Cass: Our scout ships have reached Dantooine. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding systems.::Governor Tarkin: [referring to Leia] She lied. She lied to us!::Darth Vader: I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion.::Governor Tarkin: Terminate her... immediately!

I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: *Where* is the rebel base?::Princess Leia: ...Dantooine. They're on Dantooine.::Governor Tarkin: There. You see, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation; you may fire when ready.::Princess Leia: WHAT?::Governor Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration - but don't worry; we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

Obi-Wan: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did.::Luke: What is it?::Obi-Wan: Your father's light saber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire.

Obi-Wan: There was nothing you could have done, Luke, had you been there. You'd have been killed too, and the droids would now be in the hands of the Empire.::Luke: I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.

Aunt Beru: Where are you going?::Luke: Looks like I'm going nowhere... I'm gonna finish cleaning those 'droids.::Aunt Beru: [after Luke leaves] Owen, he can't stay here forever, most of his friends have gone. It means so much to him.::Uncle Owen: Well, I'll make it up to him next year, I promise.::Aunt Beru: Luke's just not a farmer, Owen. He has too much of his father in him.::Uncle Owen: That's what I'm afraid of.

Officer Cass: Our scout ships have reached Dantooine. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time. They are now conducting an extensive search of the surrounding systems.::Governor Tarkin: [referring to Leia] She lied. She lied to us!::Darth Vader: I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion.::Governor Tarkin: Terminate her... immediately!
