Wholly Moses! (1980)
10/10
One of my old favorites

My husband and I communicate mostly by quoting memorable lines from movies. Along with "When Harry Met Sally", we often quote this comedy starring Dudley Moore. The bumbling Moses-wanna-be gets himself into one difficult situation after another. Like the time he is sold into slavery, and forced into heavy manual labor... such as, pulling huge boulders up a ramp, to help build an Egyptian pyramid. Moore's tiny stature set against this ridiculously heavy burden is funny enough. Then the muscle-bound task master approaches. Dudley inadvertently ends up causing the boulder to pin the bosses' foot. The burley man is double over in pain... face red... unable to speak... He spits out syllables such as... "rok-k-k" and "F-f-f-u-t-t." Dudley leans in closer, "What's that? My Arabic is rusty." I happen to find Dudley Moore's delivery of slap stick humor a laugh a minute... real belly laughs. Today, if I happen to inadvertently injure my husband one of us says, "rok-k-k..f-f-u-t-t" and that is all it takes for us to peal into laughter.
