I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!
Classic 1980s absurdist comedy, apparently loosely based on the plot of an earlier film called 'Zero Hour' (edit: yes, with that earlier film released in 1957).

Eminently quotable, with plenty of gags throughout: the most famous, perhaps, being the "don't call me Shirley" gag but I'm also quite partial to the following:

"Nervous?"
"Yes"
 "First time?"
"No, I've been nervous plenty of times before ..."
