Dr. Strangelove

Well, what do you know, we have another Stanley Kubrick production on the list. True, Dr. Strangelove was a rather eccentric project. This might be the result of the lack of a regular script as they opted for a ‘retro-script’ instead. The cast members needed to come up with their own lines there and then. It was a brilliant decision and this was how iconic scenes came to exist. The Nazi salute, for example, was all Sellers.

Zoolander

Zoolander had many hilarious scenes, though we want you to take a look at the scene where David Duchovny tells Ben Stiller why models would be good assassins. Stiller messed up his lines by asking him, “Why male models?” right after the explanation. Duchovny rode with it and it was a great fit for the movie!
