Definitely working out Bruce Willis was dead in the 6th sense (I so didn't see that......they practically had to draw me pictures before I worked it out!)
The scene in Human Traffic where the main guy is talking about how great it is being high on ecstasy and how empathetic and happy you are and half way through the sentence he says "wait a sec, what the f**k was I talking about". So totally accurate and piss funny!
The scene is Shawn of the Dead right at the end after you think his best mate is dead after turning into a zombie. And then you see him in the back shed, chained to the couch playing playstation.....still a zombie - which really isn't that much different to when he was normal.

You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."
