It's the Princess Bride, after they have visited the miracle worker to
cure the hero's mild case of death, just before they (surprise!) storm
the castle.

One more:

The swords on the Dragonmaw Centurions in the Wetlands look very much like
those of Saruman's Uruk-Hai in Fellowship Of The Ring.

A couple of movie references I've run across:

Apocalypse Now - There's a quest in STV to kill a colonel (?) Kurzen
who's 'gone native'.

Big Trouble in Little China - The 6 demon bag

Chasing Amy - Chasing AM-E quest in Un Goro

The pirate ship in Deadmines seems to be taken straight out of The
Goonies.

I asked an IF guard for directions to an Alchemist, and as well as telling
me where to look, he remarked,
"Sigh - Why didn't i take the Blue Potion?"

Which could possibly refer to the Matrix Blue Pill / Red Pill question.

This meant that the guard must've taken the Red Potion, which means that he
was in a computer game BEFORE WOW. I wonder how long it will be before he
drinks a Red Potion in WOW, and wakes up in our world.

I forgot his name, but there is a sleepy druid in Darkshore who you have to
escort. Once you start the quest he says: "The sleeper has awakened." Which is
from "Dune" if I'm not mistaken.

There's this goblin mortar (goblin engineer trinket), and there's a
recipe to reload it. Of course, the recipe is called:

"The Mortar - Reloaded"

Or how about the joke (done by human males I believe) where they basically
tell the entire story of Lord of the Rings.

Running through Dire Maul North today I got a couple..

When you take the ogre tannin from the basket, an ogre rushes down
yelling "It puts the tannin in the basket or else it gets the mallet
again!" (Silence of the Lambs).

And when you kill the ogre king, his adviser lets fly with the glorious
internet exclamation "OH NOES!"

Cheers!
David...
