It remains one of the treasured movie-in-theaters experiences of my life, along with the time that I was the only person who laughed at a line in modern Greek in My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002). I don't even speak modern Greek! It was just all perfect cognates with classical Greek and I cracked up a full minute before the plot (with subtitles) got around to the punchline.
