Warning: This article may contain spoilers for some of the depicted movies!

Apparently there are a lot of movies with the word egg in the title, but browsing through them I did not know or watch any of them. Of course it is much more fun to talk about movies I have actually seen, so let's talk about some famous "egg scenes" in movies!

"Welcome to Jurassic Park", this famous movie scene quote gives me goosebumps. The dinosaurs, the music, the beautiful cinematography. "Jurassic Park" is one of my favorite movies of all time and it changed the history of movie making. One of the most famous scenes of the movie is the baby raptor egg hatching scene. In this scene we see Sam Neill (as Alan Grant), Richard Attenborough (as John Hammond), Laura Dern (as Ellie Sattler), Jeff Goldblum (as Ian Malcolm), B.D Wong (as Henry Wu) and Martin Ferrero (as Donald Gennaro) as they witness the birth of a baby Velociraptor in the laboratory of the park. Of course this is not the only egg scene in the movie, I do want to highlight one more...

After the storm (and the T-Rex scene) Grant and the children stumble upon some egg shells. Earlier in the movie (during the egg hatching scene), Wu told the visitors that all of the dinosaurs they are breeding in the facility are female. This helps them control the population at the island and keeps humans in control of the births. A famous line in that scene is "I'm simply saying that life finds a way" by Ian Malcolm. He is wary about the certainty with which Wu claims that it can't go wrong. When Grant and the children discover the shells, Grant talks about how certain kinds of frogs suddenly change gender while living in a one gender population. Since the DNA of the ancient mosquitoes is being modified with frog DNA to fill in the gaps, Grant comes to the conclusion that Malcolm is right. The dinosaurs are breeding and "life found a way".

The 1979 Sci-Fi Horror movie "Alien" is one of Ridley Scott's many masterpieces. When the commercial space ship Nostromo is on its way back to earth, the crew is in stasis. When the ship receives a signal from a nearby moon, the crew is woken up by the ship's computer (named Mother). The crew is obliged to check out the signal, because it could be a distress signal. While Officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) stays on the ship to try and decipher the signal, three other crew members decide to check things out. Captain Dallas (Tom Skerrit), Navigator Lambert (Veronica Cartwright) and Officer Kane (John Hurt) discover that the signal stems from a seemingly abandoned and derelict Alien ship. They decide to enter the ship, but by doing that they loose all contact with Nostromo. 

The first egg scene, I want to talk about is the scene when Kane enters a room and discovers a whole lot of egg like objects covered by some sort of a mist. The cinematography of this scene is amazing and still gives me that uncomfortable feel of suspense throughout the scene. By taking a closer look, Kane discovers that a life form resides in the eggs and the egg opens up....what follows is the first appearance of the Facehugger (designed by H.R. Giger), when it jumps out and attaches itself to Kane's face. The Facehugger grew out to be one of the most iconic creatures in Sci-Fi movies.

Who you gonna call? "Ghostbusters", another one of my favorite movies and also one of the movies I can keep watching over and over. One of the reasons for this is the great cast of the movie. What to think of: Bill Murray (as Dr. Peter Venkman), Dan Aykroyd (as Dr. Raymond Stantz), Harold Ramis (as Dr. Egon Spengler), Ernie Hudson (as Winston Zeddemore), Rick Moranis (as Louis Tully) and Sigourney Weaver (as Danna Barrett)? Venkman, Stantz and Spengler are three scientists employed by Columbia University. They investigate the paranormal and sometimes they use pretty unethical experiments to do so. The dean of the university questions the credibility of their work after their encounter with a ghost in the public library and fires them. The trio decides to form a paranormal investigation and extermination service, called Ghostbusters. They set up base in an old fire station and develop all sorts of equipment to find and capture ghosts. They even covert a hearse/ambulance into a transportation vehicle called the Ectomobile. They start to advert on TV and Dana Barrett (although skeptical) decides to call them after a paranormal encounter in her kitchen. This kitchen scene is also the egg scene of the movie. Later on Winston Zeddemore joins the trio.

In 1985 the world was introduced to the Italian Stallion Rocky Balboa, a small time boxer that rises to fame in the ultimate underdog movie and one of the best sport movies ever made. I can go on about how much I love this movie for a while, but you are here for the egg scenes, so let's talk about eggs...

The famous egg scene in "Rocky" starts with an alarm clock going off at 4 a.m (so not cool when that happens) and Rock (played by Sylvester Stallone) gets in an upright position. He sits on the edge of his bed for a while, before getting up and walking to the fridge...He breaks five eggs in a glass standing on top of the fridge and downs the raw eggs in one go, followed by nothing more than a burp. Then he goes out for his morning run through Philadelphia. Raw eggs, the breakfast of champions. I think I'll stick to my normal breakfast though..

That's it for our egg scenes in the movie, but of course the list goes on. What to think of the 'eggstraoradinary' character Humpty Dumpty (an egg with a human face) that appears in "Puss in Boots" (2011), the scene where Ripley destroys the Queen's eggs in "Aliens" (1986), the 'pulling eggs out of the mouth' scene in "Airplane!" (1980), the 'baking eggs and bacon on the belly' scene in "Hot Shots!" (1991) or the egg hatching scene in "The Waterhorse" (2007). Talking eggs was a lot of fun, but now let's talk bunnies in movies...

Again there are more movies with bunnies in them than you might think and it is quite impossible to talk about all of them, so we picked a few of them to talk about...

Last year a new movie duo stormed their way up to my list of favorite movie duos of all time. For me it's certainly the coolest movie duo ever: Duck & Bunny from "Toy Story 4" (2019). And since a duck comes out of an egg and because it feels like a crime to split them up; I will talk about both of them. While searching for Woody, Buzz ends up in a very crowded carnival. When the owner of a space shooting game stand finds Buzz, he decides to hang him between the top prizes. This is were he meets Duck & Bunny, two prizes attached to each other and eager to be won, so they can get a nice home. When Buzz comes in they are very hostile against him, because in their opinion he steals their top spot and thus destroys their dream of being won. Eventually the two become part of the gang, which results in some very funny scenes. Duck & Bunny are voiced by Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. I for one can't wait for a Duck & Bunny spin off to be announced.

Awwww, back to the cute and furry bunnies...or...wait what??? Not exactly! Although I can't say I have seen a lot of scenes with killer bunnies in movies, I can certainly say that the killer bunny scene in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1975) is the funniest I have ever seen. I love this movie. This is one of the movies that I can keep watching and it always makes me laugh. "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" contains a lot of legendary and iconic scenes and the killer bunny scene is certainly one of them.

"Ehh...what's up, doc?". When you hear these words, there is only one Bunny you think about and that's the smart mouthed Bugs Bunny. As one of the most famous Looney Tunes character, Bugs appears in numerous Loony Tunes movies and cartoons since his first appearance in the 1940s. Some of the movies Bugs appears in are: "What's up, Doc?" (1950), "The Looney, Looney, Looney Bugs Bunny Movie" (1981) and "Space Jam" (1996). But there are a lot more. Bugs Bunny was originally voiced by Mel Blanc, but over the years a lot of voice actors have voiced one of Looney Tunes most popular characters.

Of course there are a lot more movie bunnies to talk about, but we have come to the end of our list. Some other (bunnies in) movies we could have talked about are: the rabbits in "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" (2005),Judy Hopps in "Zootropolis"/"Zootopia" (2016), the bunnies in "Watership Down" (1978, talk about scary by the way) or the White Rabbit in "Alice in Wonderland" (2010).
