I used to adore this movie as a kid. I just watched some of it again, and I must say, I had good taste when I was little. The movie is hilarious and touching. Seriously, I was laughing out loud just now... it's much better than most of what passes for humor nowadays.
And that tossed salad scene with Sandra Bernhard is my favorite. God, they really don't make movies like this anymore, do they?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Sesame Street is brilliant. It still makes me laugh, and occasionally the show includes jokes meant for adults. (Like PEAR the Musical, LOL.)

^More than occasionally.

One of the big things Joan Cooney stressed when creating the show was that it *had* to be engaging enough for the kids, yet not bore the pants off the parents.

And, interestingly, they weren't going to let the puppets interact with the humans. But the children they tested the show on were much more engaged with the puppets, so they decided to expand it.

And, yea, this is still one of my favorite films of all time.
