FAQ request. Movie parodies

I'd like your help, a.t.s people.

I'm compiling a list of movie parodies, or movies from which specific scenes were parodied. The Midnight Cowboy parody is a good example. Please e-mail me with your responses. Thanks.

It hasn't been mentioned yet (maybe too obvious) but in The Strong Box they argue about who is going to do the digging and decide the one who digs doesn't have to cut up the bird.

I think this is precisely the situation in Shallow Grave.

Most are obvious like 'JFK' in the Boyfriend or 'Platoon' in the Jewish singles episode.

An obscure one is the reference to 'Marathon Man' in the mansierre/bro episode where the old German woman is following Kramer down the street.

Noone ever answered my question about the Andrea Doria episode. The scene where George is being interviewed as a possible tennant is a reference to something, I just don't know what.

I think I am the only one in the world who seas(!) the connection.

When George was trying to break off his relationship and ordering the girl to "turn your key!" I immediately felt that it was a takeoff from the beginning of the movie "War Games".

Naw! I thought is was "Crimson Tide". But he couldn't start slugging her. Only Lanie could get away with that! ;)

BTW, did that strike anybody else as TOTALLY implausible? George turning down sex? With TWO women? Does George really have it like that? I don't THINK so. He was THAT close to three-ways on demand. Only George's determination never to be happy saves that one at all for me.

I didn't see Crimson Tide but I remember that EXACT line from War Games.

George is the geeky unemployed loser who has enjoyed a long string of sexual relationships with beautiful women, which he usually ends over some nit-picking reason. This was par for the course.

I think that's Jerry. George's girl friends are the ones that usually end relationships except for a few - like the chopsticks in the hair accountant.

They both do it, Jerry more often. With George, I'd say it's about a 50/50 chance as to whether he's the dumper or dumpee.

I thought that was was right out of Crimson Tide. Quite a few scenes between Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington are very similar to this.
