They'll none of them be missed

Having promised my housemate that I'd take him to the pictures if he was good, I went to see Shrek 2 again last night.

And between us, we started a list of references to other films contained therein. Anyone else want to join in ?


Specific films referenced (rather than use of generic movie clichés):

Arriving in Far, Far Away - Beverley Hills Cop
Fairy Godmother singing - The Fabulous Baker Boys
A giant, stupid thing called Mungo - Blazing Saddles
Three friends (including a fencing Spaniard) planning to storm the castle to prevent the Princess ending up with the wrong bloke - The Princess Bride
Puss carving 'P' on a tree - The Mask Of Zorro
The final scene of people dancing on the stage - The Fifth Element

Some of these I only have Andy's word for, as I haven't seen the films in question.

There's also a reference to the Graduate

Wossat ?

I mean what's the reference - I've not see The Graduate (though I have seen Wayne's World :)
