Ok, so let's do 'spot the movie references'

Does this need the spoiler tag? I'll use it anyway

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

Psycho
Jaws
Ghost
Batman - As soon as he reached out of the window and saw the ducks I was laughing and called out "Nuns next?"

Aliens

End Spoiler Alert!

Any others?

I knew I recognised that scene, I couldn't place it at all though at the time!

Didn't spot the first one. Don't recall the 2nd reference from any of the films. I recognised the scene but couldn't place it.

It was the 60s TV series I think, rather than a film

Ah. Must have seen it in something else too.

Spoiler for anyone who still hasn't seen it:

The Powerloader spoof had me in absolute stitches, especially when the floodlights came on. Kate has never seen the end of Aliens so she didn't understand why I was crying with laughter

There were loads of little nods to films in the background too - a 'Citizen Canine' poster in the bedroom, a 'Pup Fiction' book in a trash can... And surely the opening rescue had a slight Raiders-esque feel to it...*

And of course 'Top Bun' on the truck!

Edit: * I totally meant Temple of Doom i.e. minecarts.

Watched this on NY's day, and found it very funny, like has already been mentioned the nods to other films was very amusing and I kept finding myself trying to see how many I could spot in each scene...

Was Top Bun on the truck? I missed that, I saw it on the windmill sails though...I think
