Theres A whole bunch Ive found on my own but a lot more are at
this site but you'll have to click on the trivia link if you want to see the stuff

My List:
Cat in The Hat w/ Mike Myers
On Saturday Night Live one of his Characters (i cant remember what her name was) but he does that Character in part of the movie I belive

When the Cat drops the Hoe and says 'I'm sorry baby I love you', thats a reference to Happy Gilmore when hes in his apartment and his girlfriend leaves him

Happy Gilmore w/ Adam Sandler
When he comes into his apartment and says something about SubWay and then says 'I know the guy that works there so I got him to give us Extra Meatballs' is a reference to the Wedding Singerin which someone teaches him to play piano and pays him in meatballs
theres probably more in this movie but I havent seen 'em

Big Fish-w/Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney
One of the lures in the beginning of the movie has a skull on it which is a reference to Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas

In one Scene Ewans Character is wearing a tie that has the hill from Nightmare before christmas on it

when the young young Ed bloom is with his friends searching for the swamp witch one friend says 'I hear she makes soap out of people' which is a reference to Fight Club in which Helena Bonham Carter(jenny, the witch) was in

The robotic hands that Ed sells are the prototypes of Edward Scissorhand's hands

the science project Ed made is also in Pee-wee's Big Adventure

In the Shrek 2 M&M's commercial where they have to kiss, the yellow one does what Garth,(Dana Carvey) does in Waynes World 2 which had Mike Myers in it (voice of Shrek) coincidence?, I think not my friends, I think not.

I'd post moe but you guys would probly esplode

Isn't that kind of backwards? blink.gif The Wedding Singer came out before Happy Gilmore, didn't it? Oh well. But yeah, those are called alliterations, I believe. Right?

Oh I just watched 50 First Dates with Adam Sandler, and I think he's the king of alliterations here. Notice when they're golfing...all the kids tend to perform the Happy Gilmore swing! happy.gif

I thought alliterations are the use of words with the same beginning consonant sound. Ex: Purple pumpkin pea shooters.(uses the p sound).
