Put up references to GF movies you've seen in a book movie or TV show..I know there's a lot out there. Anyways, apart from the apparent new ones,(Like in Analyze this and Zoolander) the one that sticks in my mind is from that TV show, Jack and Jill. You know, with Amanda Peet? Anyways someone was receiving a message on her machine, from a geek asking her out to a party- it was like this- "Hey Audrey, let's go to this reeeaaally cool pary my friend Dave's throwing, y'know, we all have to dress up as our favorite character from GF, i was thinking I could be Michael and you could be Kay although i'd understand if you wanted to be Connie, they say she's a more interesting characters, like in the sequel blah blah blip geek trash fanboy slurrr"

There are tons:
The Freshman (Bruno Kirby working for Marlon Brando, ne1?) City Slickers 2 (again I ask, y wuz Bruno Kirby in CS1 and not 2, he could've had fun doin Clemenza lines with Jon Lovitz's character with the obsession) Robin Hood: Men in Tights You've Got Mail
and I know there are a bunch in TV shows, but none come to mind
There was this kid I grew up with -- he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me -- you know. We did our first work together -- worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition -- we ran molasses into Canada -- made a fortune -- you father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him -- and trusted him. Later on he had an idea -- to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Green -- and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man -- a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque -- or a signpost -- or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order -- when I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe -- I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead -- I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen -- I didn't ask who gave the order -- because it had nothing to do with business!

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Don Sauno: Animaniacs
The Freshman {/QUOTE] Are you thinking of the three pigeons in ANAMANIACS? The ones with the Brando, DeVito, and Pesci voices? Hilarious  I always figures that since it's a Spielberg production, those guys might be doing the actual voices. FRESHMAN is great also. So many scenes where they do a take-off on GF. Let me add the movie MAFIA to your list. Hilarious

I wonder why the Sporanos find it hilarious when a guy does an impression of Michael. I mean those guys laugh their calories off. Oh, and I found it funny how Deniro played Fredo! in analyze this anyways. But i think it's weird when they spoof a movie starring Deniro, when Deniro is a character in the movie itself. Get what I mean?

There's also the Don for Fat Tony's crew from Italy. In that episode when Bart doesn't make it to fix them his special drink one of the wiseguys fixes one that The Don hates and gives Fat Tony the Kiss of Death from this horrendous disrespect. He also goes after Krusty the Clown for money "No, I cant'a do'it, you're too a'funny, it would be a sin." and asks him to do a bike trick. In the animaniacs, you got the Goodfeathers from Goodfellas and The Godpigeon who is completely uncomprehendable. There was also this gag where the Warner Bros. wouldn't stay out of this guy who looked like Don Corleone's Italion restuarant and when they kept on calling him "Doc" or something he would constantly repeat "Call me 'Godfather!'"

Originally posted by Don Marco: I don't remember a Godfather Animaniacs, but I do remember an episode called "Goodfeathers". It was great. That's the one -- and I think there were a few different episodes. The GF reference was one of the pigeons had the voice of Don Corleone.

Did anyone see Rugrats in Paris? In the beginning, they opened with the Godfather's scene with Bonesara - Angelica playing the 'Bobfather' and Chuckie taking the role of Bonesara. Chuckie asks for a mother, if I'm correct. It also ends with the same scene.

The three pigeons were called Pesco(Pesci), Bobby(DeNiro) and Squit(Liotta). The Godpigeon was Brando. Animaniacs was so not aimed at kids.

has anyone seen "Sabrina" (starring Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, and Julia Ormond), that 90's remake of the Audrey Hepburn classic? there's a dinner scene there between the two families (Greg Kinnear and Lauren Holly were engaged), and the Lauren Holly's father says, "May your first child be a masculine child.", and Harrison Ford frowns, not understanding. Angie Dickinson, Lauren Holly's mother, says, "it's from Serpico.". i've always wondered why she said it was from Serpico. or was Angie Dickinson's character in this movie really a ditz? incidentally, i've never seen "Serpico".

"You squawking at me?" Do you know if those were the actual voices of the actors? They're all so imitatable, after all. But I always thought because of Spielberg, it actually was those four guys

I will bet good money that the Brando voice is imatation. I don't think he would lend himself to a cartoon for anything under $15 million.
Its not a direct quote, but in Spiderman, the green globin wanted Spiderman to join forces. Spiderman refused, he said, "I offer you friendship, and you spit in my face!"

Sanza, that's one of my favorite movies and I don't remember any, but I could be wrong, do you know about where in the movie it was, or what sort of reference it was.
There was this kid I grew up with -- he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me -- you know. We did our first work together -- worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition -- we ran molasses into Canada -- made a fortune -- you father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him -- and trusted him. Later on he had an idea -- to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's on the way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Green -- and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man -- a man of vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque -- or a signpost -- or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order -- when I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe -- I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead -- I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen -- I didn't ask who gave the order -- because it had nothing to do with business!

Originally posted by the matresses: Sanza, that's one of my favorite movies and I don't remember any, but I could be wrong, do you know about where in the movie it was, or what sort of reference it was. I could be wrong matresses and it may be one of the follow-ups as I haven't seen the movie in years. But I seem to remember the scene where Bridges says things like "It looks like I picked the wrong week to give up smoking etc..." he makes some reference to "Barzini and the heads of the five families"...or did I imagine it in my youth. I was drinking heavily at that stage 
Tom: "They shot Sonny on the causeway...he's dead." Michael: "Turnbull is a good man" Shane MacGowan: "It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank"

Originally posted by Senza Mama: [QUOTE]he makes some reference to "Barzini and the heads of the five families"... That's from Hot Shots, the Top Gun parody. Bridges says this at the funeral for pilot Dead Meat. Hot Shots director Jim Abrahams worked with the Zuckers on Airplane. These guys are comedy geniuses, IMHO. But keep in mind that I haven't seen Jane Austen's Mafia.
