Really well done. I know there's some editing there, but I didn't realize how in-depth some of these homages were.

Without watching the clip, the ones that always stuck out to me were Marathon Man and Midnight Cowboy.

I thought this was going to be about the fake movies that were also awesome. Sack Lunch, Rochelle Rochelle, Prognosis Negative, Chunnel.

the JFK one is too obvious to make it worth including, but several of them I had no idea about and have never seen the movies.

Well, the more you've seen each movie, the more obvious they would be. I've seen Apocalypse Now and Marathon Man once, so their homages didn't seem as obvious to me.

I like how Jerry’s mom says Schindler’s List, with the emphasis on Schindler’s.

So I've spent all these years laughing like an idiot at scenes and not even being in on the joke

Actually a real movie starring Frank Stallone.

I always thought George telling that guy in the handcuffs “but ya are in the shackles Blanche!” Was from some famous movie, but didn’t know which one. Glad to know now it’s “Whatever happened to Baby Jane”

Don’t forget “Checkmate.” It’s only a game…

Watching the show at the time, the ones that I always thought were the most obvious were Apocalypse Now/Peterman, Star Trek II/George but some of them are not in context of the movie and just rephrasing lines (except Elephant Man with Jerry as the nose-picker, that was obvious at the time) so it's more difficult to pick up.

But I can't believe I didn't get the Citizen Kane/Bosco reference at the time.

One that comes to mind not on the video is Jerry running through the pigeons/gulls after a contemplative moment on the pier. Perhaps an homage to the end of Stealing Home—Mark Harmon movie of the 80’s?

I believe there is a scene where George does it too

HAHA.. Me too for many of them. There's also a superman reference in every episode. I always try to catch those.

The Race is maybe the best episode in Seinfeld history.

It defines the show.

They basically define every character almost spelling it out.

I never put it together until this thread that it was the same actor.

Three Days of the Condor was my favorite.
