I was watching 'You, Me and Dupree', and something happened which was the most random, unpredictable, totally pointless thing I've ever seen in a movie ever. In one scene, the camera turns to the road and we see going past a yellow american school bus that has one back seat and is the length of a normal car. This bizarre contraption had nothing to do with the film. The subsequent confusion was the funniest thing about the movie. Confusion = funny.

I watched 2001: A space oddessy. That was full of confusion, but it sure as hell wasn't funny!

I'll vote for the ice cream van at the end of "Bend it like Beckham". Camera pans away from the closing scene of a cricket match which is reconciling two of the main characters. The camera pans away and upwards and for some reason an ice cream van drives into view playing an ice cream van kind of tune and then the credits roll.

😳 The scene at King's Cross in the first Harry Potter film, where a guy, who is clearly an actor, walks purposfully through the camera shot. Perhaps he was there to make it look like a busy train station; it just looked crap.

That's not random: it's a metaphor for coming of age. The ice-cream van represents an oxymoron between childhood innocence and cream, which is a euphemism for semen and sins of the flesh.

The question I'm most often asked about this film is:

'Where did all the monkeys go?'


Edit: Try to spell it correctly from now on 😠

I thought that was annoying, too! The guy who says *Sorry!* even though there was plenty of room to go around him? Just as annoying to me was Molly Weasley's reference to muggles and *This way to platform 9 3/4!* Puh-leez!🙄

Yeah I saw that but I thought randomness was the actual point of that movie. To have it occur in a movie which is supposed to be easy to watch is freaky.

Mulholland Drive isn't random, there's a meaning to most of it. On the other hand, I can't get a coherent story out of Lost Highway.

Okay, 'relatively random' - some of Lynch's films aren't that bad. That dude sitting on his lawn mower doesn't get up to anything random.
