Besides The Wizard of Oz, what is the most referenced movie of all time?
I think The Wizard of Oz is the most referenced movie ever, but I can't think of the second most.

What do you guys think?

Star Wars has definitely gotta be number 2, if not the actual number one. Especially since Kevin Smith became popular. Now everyone references Star Wars. There are even whole movies and shorts that are basically just Star Wars references (Fanboys, Spaceballs, Hardware Wars, Thumb Wars, Troops). You can't say that about Wizard of Oz.

Simpson's has referenced Citizen Kane so many times you could compile all the clips together and essentially remake Kane.

"I'll Be Back" is originally from the first Terminator.

My daily life consists mostly of references to Caligula and Salo, along with a little The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation.

It sucks that the Criterion when out of print. I love that movie, but I'm not going to pay $250 for a copy on eBay.
