   Ah yes, the judicious comment at just the right time in
a movie. The difficult part is saying something funny enough
so that people won't get angry at you.

   My best(?) was in one on the Dracula remakes. Towards the 
end of the movie he is fleeing the townspeople. Dracula is in
a closed coffin in the back of a horse drawn buggy, with no one
at the reins (presumedly he is using his powers to make the 
horses run). Anyway, the scene goes on forever. These wildly
running horses, the coffin in the back, the townspeople not
to far behind. They go through the town, then the meadow, then
the forest, then another town, etc, etc.   5 minutes into this
I said just loud enough for about 7 seats in any direction to 
hear:  "Try Vick's Formula 44, it helps stop the coffin".  In the
next couple minutes, the joke slowly made it's way across the
theater.

   I know it is not as good as the "Master-Vader" line for
Star Wars, but that's the way it goes.
