Billy Madison
1. When the main cast bursts into a song outside in the water fountain. This made me laugh because a lot of movies and people like to make fun of classic musicals or movies that have singing in them such as Grease.
2. When Bill Madison (Adam Sandler) goes on a long tangent comparing the book The Puppy Who Lost His Way and how it's just like society and the idustrial revolution. This part made me laugh because it was so ridiculous and you just knew that there was no way he could make this comparison.
3. When the principal of the high school called his wife a tramp and a cheater. I found this part somewhat humorous probably because it sugar-coats the average adultery view-point instead of making it look as though the husband and/or wife doesn't know.
4. When Billy is studying for the decatholon and it goes from being his girlfriend, Veronica, removing her clothing to the bus driver removing his clothes. This was more sickly to me than hilarious but memorable.

The Forest for the Trees
The main character, Melanie, moves to a new town in Germany and has trouble meeting new people and creating new friendships. Melanie is a school teacher but has more issues with keeping her class in line and respectful. The one time she thought she found a friend, Tina (a girl who worked at a department store), lost her from spying on her personal life and Tina finding out to Melanie inviting herself over and eventually Tina said don't ever come back here. About the second to last scene, we finally see Melanie controlling her classes and demanding their attention.
Melanie represents that space in one's life that one may feel lost and not know where they belong. One may feel this right after college, being a foreign exchange teen, or traveling to other countries.
