4. The 3 Amigos

I had to go with a comedy here and comedies are my favorite type of movie because I love to laugh! I had thousands to choose from and how do I make that decision? I went with the one that I can laugh from beginning to end and I can watch everyday. One of my favorite casts of all time: Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. This movie is funny to me on a million different levels starting from the beginning when they are singing the "three amigo's" and they hold out their last note for a long time like Mariachi's do.

The movie is about 3 actors that lose work while in Mexico a small town was getting harrassed by a Mexican gang leader "El Guapo" a town woman saw a film of the three amigos and thought these were real guys and hires them to help them from El Guapo. They go to Mexico thinking their going to be on a big movie and dont realize its real until El Guapo has one of his gang men to shoot Lucky with a real bullet. They try and jet but El Guapo kidnaps the pretty Mexican girl and they return to save her! This movie is full of memorable quotes and laughs! It was made in the 80's and I cant count how many times I have seen it. This movie is a family favorite and I love it. Here are some of my favorite quotes:

Jefe: I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom, each of them filled with little suprises. El Guapo: Many pinatas? Jefe: Oh yes, many! El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas? Jefe: A what? El Guapo: A *plethora*. Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora. El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora? Jefe: Why, El Guapo? El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora. Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

Bartender: We don't have beer. Just tequila. Ned Nederlander: What's tequila? Bartender: Uh, it's like beer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlbLCNdaV2s
