Mine was when Gil gives Buñuel some hints for a movie idea about people not being able to leave the room, and the director simply cannot fathom it. "I don't get it, why wouldn't they just leave the room?" Made me smile.
shareI suppose my favorite sequences were when the actor playing Hemmingway was just speaking lines from Hemmingway's writing.
shareI guess The Eagles' Don Henley was there somewhere listening.
shareWhen Gil's fiancee's says that Gil (wherever he is) is definitely not dancing, then the movie cuts to him dancing the Charleston. Made me laugh!

It's a toss up between the following three:
-Hemingway and Gil's conversation in the Peugeot. Allen's writing is so good I wasn't sure if Hemingway's monologue was his own or something that Woody had written (it turned out to be the latter lol)
-Gil being "on a roll" in his monologue to Adriana about how Paris is the "hottest spot in the universe."
-The ear ring scene. :D
That was definitely one of them, especially since it's actually the plot to "The Exterminating Angel". Great little history joke.
I'd have to say Dali's "rhinoceros" spiel was hilarious.
Not exactly my favorite scene, but my favorite moment in the film. When the vendor (who he ends up with in the end) says something to him that makes him laugh as he's buying a Cole Porter record and Gil's expression, stance, laugh, reaching for his wallet (in both pockets), reacting to her line with a hidden confidence and charm to her, I don't know...that just SCREAMS on film, was an awesome moment for me. That's what I love about Woody's films - those "moments" that isn't really a scene, but makes the film.
