The Bestest Dance Scene
The Bestest Elevator Scene
Thoroughly Modern Milly. Haven't seen it in years, but the first time I saw her dancing in the elevator, it cracked me up!

The Bestest Scene Involving Someone Dressing Up in an Outlandish Costume
Top Secret, the cow costume

The Bestest Flying Scene
Neverending Story

The Bestest Scene Involving Something Inadvertently Bursting into Flames
Is it National Lampoon where they plug in the tree and it bursts into flames and all the lights in the neighborhood go out?

The Bestest Scene Involving Water
"Don't feed them after midnight, don't get them wet, and don't expose them to sunlight." Gremlins!

The Bestest Forest
Harry and the Hendersons

The Bestest Odd Trap
Pure Genius, the popcorn scene.

The Bestest Courthouse Scene

Very few and far between, in my opinion -- but here's my vote for the "bestest":

Spencer Tracy as "Henry Drummond" (in the real Scopes trial, Clarence Darrow) cross-examining Frederic March as "Matthew Harrison Brady" (William Jennings Bryan in the actual trial) in Inherit the Wind.

I loved that one! But wasn't the name of the movie Real Genius?

Yes it was. Val Kilmer when he was a cute kid.

Bestest Ice Skating Scene: In Real Genius when they flood and freeze the hallways.

Oopsy-daisy! My mind's in 18 different places right now. Right! I knew Pure Genius didn't flow, but I was posting too quickly to proof. Thanks for catching that! Perhaps it should be:

Sorry to disagree, but my vote for The Bestest Car Chase goes to the car chase in Bullitt (with Steve McQueen) -- the prototype for all car chases which followed.

Ooh, yes! Absolutely! Ha ha! That and when he snuck her out through the window made him the perfect boyfriend. Have to vote that one Bestest Date, as well.

Call it "The Best of the Best" and I'm right there, playing along.

But Bestest?

As in "It was the bestest of times, it was the worstest of times . . . ?"

As Dorothy Parker so famously said, "Tonstant Weader fwowed up."

Oh, amd mlm88, I'm with you on the Bullitt car chase -- definitely the template for all others. Recently, I'd say the one in Ronin comes close.

Because English is a dead language which does not acquiesce to playfulness, nor alters, grows, or ever encompasses new words, I bring you--

The Bestest Grammar

From Star Wars: Jedi Knight II--Jedi Outcast
Kyle Katarn: I'm no Jedi, I'm just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions.
Bartender: Of course, many peoples have them.
Kyle Katarn: Lightsabers?
Bartender: Questions.

Kyle Katarn: Never trust a bartender with bad grammar.

From Mary Poppins

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious."

From The Muppets Take Manhattan

Pete: Big city, hmm? Live. Work, huh? But. Only peoples. Peoples is peoples. No is buildings. Is tomatoes, huh? Is peoples, is dancing, is music, is potatoes. So, peoples is peoples. Okay?

From My Fair Lady

Eliza Doolittle: I wouldn't 've ate it, only I'm too ladylike to take it out o' me mouth.

From Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical

Parents: Okay. / I shimmer electric! / I'm a one-man marching brownie band. / I love it! My brownie! / And my brownie loves me, too! / It's smooth, it's sweet, it's chocolaty. / It forms a perfect square. / And the bestest part of all, is I don't have to share.

From Alice in Wonderland (1985)

Alice: 'Twas brillig and the slithy toves. Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogroves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!"

The Bestest Internal Monologue

Will Sherman: Once upon a time there lived a young man who aimed to please. He believed what was preached to him, did what he was told, and slaved day and night to win approval. But when he dared to think for himself, he was outcast, and it was a long and painful fall. Then one day, he had an earth-shattering revelation - a truth that would define his life - genius is never appreciated. (From Delivered)

The Bestest Motivational Speech

Mikey Walsh: Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket. (From The Goonies)

I was wrong, I'm sooo sorry, I apologize profusely!

The Bestest Grammar!

The Muppet Movie, the Swedish Chef:
Gersh gurndy morn-dee burn-dee, burn-dee, flip-flip-flip-flip-flip-flip-flip-flip-flip.
The flim is okee-dokee.

Karma to you GB for having all that movie dialogue in your head. Amazing!
