Favorite Movie Homage?

What's your favorite movie homage? Specifically, what scene or dialogue in one movie that references of imitates another movie is your favorite? (spoofs not included)

I like the Mexican Standoff at the end of Shaun of the Dead that is almost an exact replica of the one from Resevoir Dogs. "Stop pointing that gun at my mum!"- hilarious.

Update:

My bad- pardon the typo. Meant to say references OR imitates.

    One that took me by surprise on my first viewing and reduced me to happy howls of laughter was in Disney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame".

    During the climactic battle for Notre Dame, the old and wise-cracking lady gargoyle sics hordes of pigeons on the crowds below, hollering, "Fly!-Fly!", a direct steal of Margaret Hamilton's Wicked Witch sending off the Winged Monkeys in "The Wizard of Oz".

    Optimus Prime facing Megatron in the Live action movie. Where he says "One shall stand, one shall fall." A very nice homage to the original Transformers: The Movie (animated 1986).

    I love both Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz as homages to Zombie movies and buddy cop flicks. They're both awesome.

    A Few Good Men

    I like basically the whole movie and how witty it is.

    Tom Cruise was great in the movie.
