Wall-E

Floating in comfortable chairs, changing color of comfortable suit when told by a fashion screen, drinking hamburgers through straws. I cannot imagine why someone does not think that is funny -- even if they were sipping from an extra-super-sized sugar-filled drink at the time. I know, I know, some people hate mirrors. Anyway, confronted with Auto, the ship's computer taking over and keeping them from earth, the captain rebelled in one of the great moments of cinema, in my humble opinion. He got up from his chair, wheezing and breathing heavily, to the opening soundtrack from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Beautiful.
