King Raff: [Voiceover] "At the very edge of the galaxy is our world. The tiny planet known, as Spengo. For many decades, I was the king of this planet. The people were happy and their lives were good... But also, alas, we were a planet of idiots. Then, one day, the most bloodthirsty, fearsome villain had ever seen seized power, imprisoned me, and renamed the planet after himself. His name - Todd Spengo."
[Todd Spengo is walking and runs into a low pipe]
King Raff: "Well alright, so he's not exactly fearsome - but he certainly caught us by surprise."
Emperor Todd Spengo: "General Afir, how much longer?"
General Afir: "The death ray is ready great one!"
Emperor Todd Spengo: [Excited noises]
[Walks forward, his guards follow]
King Raff: [Voiceover] "Did I mention we were a planet of idiots?"

Naked Gun:
 
FRANK:  Jane, since I've met you, I've noticed things that I never knew were there before... birds singing, dew glistening on a newly formed leaf, stoplights.
 
JANE:   Would you like a nightcap?
FRANK:  No, thank you, I don't wear them.
 
JANE:  How could you do something so vicious?
VINCENT LUDWIG:  It was easy my dear. You forget, I spent two years as a building contractor.

This next one is also from 2001: A Space Odyssey:
 
(Dave Bowman is shutting HAL down.)
HAL: I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
Dave Bowman: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.
HAL: It's called "Daisy."
[sings while slowing down]
HAL: Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.
(Dave finishes shutting HAL down).
 

 
I like this because Arthur C. Clarke (and Kubrick after him) was referencing the very first time a computer  was made to speak in 1962 (an IBM 701; Clarke was actually present at the demonstration).  It was brilliant the way Clarke uses the song both as historical citation and emblematic of a computer "losing (its) mind" in order to emphasize sentience in the character development of the HAL 9000.

And, of course, the fact that "HAL" is actually just IBM with each letter one letter back.
