Our friends at NextMovie just sent over this supercut, a compilation of every movie reference from The Simpsons seasons 1 through 5. Early Simpsons being my most treasured of pop-culture references, I pre-assumed that it’d be post worthy. But why only seasons 1-5? Then I turned on the supercut, and it was 19 minutes long. Only a couple minutes short of being a full Simpsons episode in its own right. Turns out, The Simpsons had a whooole lotta movie references, even more than you thought. It might be a much shorter supercut to compile the Simpson’s moments that don’t reference a movie somehow. And yes, I loved all 19 minutes of this.
This should prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that everyone on that writing staff was a huge movie dork.

“But this says ‘Works on contingency, no money down.'”
“Aw, they got this all wrong. It was supposed to say ‘Works on contingency? No, money down.'”
Sorry, I know those were neither here nor there, but I couldn’t go this entire post without at least a couple Simpsons references. Aw, it’s like I understand pop culture nostalgia for the first time. It feels all squishy.
