Three spring to mind:

Starcrash - one thing this movie had, about the sole redeeming feature, was the delectable Caroline Munro wearing not a lot! Rowf! Anyway, the moment: Stella Star and Akton have just jumped into hyperspace to escape the cops, apparently a dangerous thing to do, as Stella asks: "What's our chances?"

"40% total disintegration; 30% molecular ignition; 20% gamma contamination."

"Very reassuring! I assume that means we have a 10% chance of making it?"

"Not really...3% structural collapse; 2% - "

"All right, all right!"

Second, Battle Beyond The Stars; I liked Cayman's line:

"Turn around, you overaged degenerate, and we'll bump heads!"

Superman III - the heist Gus Gorman pulled off was the salami slicer, and it does exist...though it's considerably more complex than just typing what you want to do into the computer! That computer must've had an insanely powerful text-based interface to translate Gus's request into the multiple complex programming instructions needed to channel all fractional cents into a single account.

On the other hand, the producer really couldn't explain to an audience of millions exactly how to do it, of course...

Anyway, the moment: Ross Webster's discussing with a flunky the issue of $85,000 disappearing suddenly (in fact, with a properly-executed salami this is very difficult to prove because at the end of the day all the accounts will still balance). He's saying, "No, he'll lie low, continuing to steal the bread from our mouths, and he won't do a thing to call attention to himself - unless of course he is a complete and utter moron."

At which point he looks down out of the window to see Gus pulling into the parking lot in a red convertible with a state-of-the-art stereo system blaring away...

Over to you, people!

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag

the 2 greatest moments:
1> the 8 heads singing Mr Sandman.
2. Dyan Cannon as a recovering drunk/crazy who keeps finding disembodied heads. Everybody thinks she's gone off again, but the heads are real.
