Random 'Simpsons' Movie Parodies You Probably Missed As A Kid (20 items)

• 

  (#1) The Graduate

  • Film

  If you have Dustin Hoffman voice a character, why not throw in a Graduate reference - with Ms. Krabappel as the would-be seducer, of course.
• 

  (#2) A Clockwork Orange

  • Film

  The Simpsons usually turns intense cinematic scenes into something more lighthearted, but Mr. Burns experimenting on Santa's Little Helper may be worse than the reprogramming scene from A Clockwork Orange.
• 

  (#3) Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

  • Film

  While The Simpsons isn't quite as satirical as Dr. Strangelove, the two certainly share some DNA. Having Homer recreate this iconic scene just makes sense.
• 

  (#4) The Silence of the Lambs

  • Film

  Mr. Burns is inspired by a number of characters predating Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs, but the two villains share a lot in common. Seeing Burns wheeled in like Lecter just makes sense.
• 

  (#5) Basic Instinct

  • Film

  Though it doesn't go R-rated, this moment perfectly mirrors the iconic scene from Basic Instinct.
• 

  (#6) Thelma & Louise

  • Film

  After Marge dabbles in the ways of a crook, she heads off a cliff, Thelma & Louise style. Luckily, she survives.
• 

  (#7) Rear Window

  • Film

  Not only does Bart's broken leg turn him into a jealous peeper, but he recreates this famous moment from Rear Window - complete with a faux Jimmy Stewart cameo.
• 

  (#8) Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

  • Film

  In this opening gag, Bart plays the role of Indiana Jones and Homer subs in for the boulder.
• 

  (#9) Cape Fear

  • Film

  The Simpson family is not pleased when Sideshow Bob recreates Robert De Niro's stogie-smoking scene from Cape Fear.
• 

  (#10) Reservoir Dogs

  • Film

  In one of the few instances where a bloody scene is more or less kept intact, Itchy and Scratchy make Tarantino proud.
• 

  (#11) Terminator 2: Judgment Day

  • Film

  This is one of many scenes that's pulled almost beat by beat from the source material, complete with Homer grasping the bumper of Flanders's car with two golf clubs.
• 

  (#12) 'The Gold Rush' - 'Lady Bouvier's Lover'

  Leave it to Grandpa Simpson to try to woo someone by imitating Charlie Chaplin.
• 

  (#13) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

  • Film

  This episode features another long recreation of a film scene - with Homer subbing in for Randle McMurphy, and Barney taking the place of Chief - complete with a water-fountain-fueled escape.
• 

  (#14) Citizen Kane

  • Film

  Mr. Burns is actually a fitting stand-in for Citizen Kane's titular character, and this whole scene mirrors the famous snowglobe moment from the film.
• 

  (#15) Alien

  • Film

  When Santa's Little Helper gets into the air vents, it's up to Groundskeeper Willie to head into the ducts while Principal Skinner watches on an Alien-esque computer.
• 

  (#16) Pulp Fiction

  • Film

  While most people remember this episode for birthing the "Steamed Hams" meme, it also features a Pulp Fiction send-up that recreates a few key moments from the film.
• 

  (#17) 2001: A Space Odyssey

  • Film

  When Homer goes to space, a lengthy 2001: A Space Odyssey tribute follows, ending with Bart throwing a marker in the air like a primitive human with a bone.
• 

  (#18) The Birds

  • Film

  What's more horrifying than a town covered in birds? How about hundreds of pacifier-sucking babies?
• 

  (#19) The Godfather

  • Film

  Leave it to The Simpsons to replace one of film's goriest moments with a snowball fight.
• 

  (#20) Psycho

  • Film

  While The Simpsons has alluded to Psycho many times - including putting Homer in the infamous shower scene - this moment replaces the corpse of Norman Bates's mother with an expectant Bart.
