The 10 Best “Simpsons” Movie Parodies — Rolling Stone

An entire generation probably first got to know the great pearls of screen art through The Simpsons, before the aha effect occurred with the actual originals.

“This scene looks familiar!” might be one of the happy sighs when “Citizen Kane” by Orson Welles is streamed for the first time and then the words “Rosebud” and a broken snow globe bring Mr. Burns to mind .

The animated series penned by Matt Groening has paid homage to almost all of the great classics of screen art since its launch on the “Tracey Ullman Show” at the end of the 80s! “2001 – A Space Odyssey”, “The Godfather”, “Psycho”, “Planet of the Apes”, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”: every self-respecting “Simpsons” fan immediately knows the consequences of the films where they are lovingly steeped in the cocoa.

ROLLING STONE has listed the ten most beautiful reminiscences of great film classics from the golden phase of “The Simpsons”:

1. The window to the courtyard // A grisly suspicion (Bart of Darkness, 6th season)

2. Shining // Fear and horror without end (Treehouse Of Horror V, Season 6)
