from Cody Clarke

The Red Car

Polyester (1981)
dir. John Waters

The Big Lebowski (1998)
dir. Joel Coen



This one's from Jay Dub, who adds:

Both films feature a protagonist with absolutely no control over their situation, both The Dude and Francine barely have the mental faculties to grasp what's going on around them, and both spend most of their film in a drug-addled daze. TBL even features a number of characters that would be right at home in almost any Waters film: The Nihilists, Jesus Quintana, and David Thewlis, who spends his one scene essentially playing a caricature of John Waters.

The Royal We

"I thought we'd drop in on young Richard for a bit."
"We?"
"Uh, 'we' in the sense of visiting royalty. […] I am referring to the editorial we."  

The Invisible Woman (1940)
written by Curt Siodmak, Joe May, Robert Lees, Frederic I. Rinaldo & Gertrude Purcell  


"We dropped off the damn money."
"We?"
"I! The Royal 'we'! You know, the editorial..."
