1. Babe (1995)

 

The concluding, joyous and fun scene in which talking pig Babe outperforms all other competitors in a sheep-herding contest - and is congratulated by Farmer Arthur Hoggett (James Cromwell) with a simple: “That’ll do pig, That’ll do”

2. Chicken Run (2000)

The futile, disastrous attempts by the chickens to fly with additional mocking and ridiculing commentary by wisecracking rodents Nick (voice of Timothy Spall) and Fetcher (voice of Phil Daniels): (”Birds of a feather flop together!”, “Is that your first of-fence?”, “Poultry in motion!”); also, Babs’ (Jane Horrocks) disappointment after a near-death experience: “All me life flashed before me eyes… it was really boring”

3. E.T. (1982)

Gertie (Drew Barrymore) and E.T.’s screaming reactions to each other on first meeting

4. Dumb and Dumber (1994)

The scene of Lloyd Christmas’ (Jim Carrey) run out of an airport’s jetway and flip onto the tarmac; and after pursuing married dream girl Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly) from Providence to Aspen in a customized sheep-dog van, the imbecilic Lloyd’s sentimentally-happy response in a hilarious proposal scene after she tells him that their chances are “one out of a million” - his exclamation: “So you’re tellin’ me there’s a chance?! Yeah! “; the sight of Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd in bright orange and powder blue tuxedos; also idiotic Lloyd’s wild chopsocky fantasy in a restaurant, defending the honor of his dream date and culminating in ripping the heart out of a chef’s chest; the excruciatingly-funny yet gross scene of Harry’s extreme agony on the toilet while suffering a reaction to a large dose of a laxative put in his drink by Lloyd; and the famous scene in which brain-dead Harry exclaims: “Ooh, look, frost” to Mary as they ride on a ski-lift chair - and his tongue becomes fused to the frozen metal frame pole - and the hilarious scene as they pry him free while his tongue stretches elastically

5. Forrest Gump (1994)

The computerized special-effects and imaging that put intellectually-challenged Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) into comedic situations with historical events (i.e., Gov. Wallace’s stand-off in Little Rock, and his assassination attempt) and with Presidents and other celebrities (JFK - with his hilarious plea: “I gotta pee”, LBJ, Nixon, Elvis Presley, John Lennon)
