The Face of Bo in Doctor Who was a recurrent theme when the series returned from 2005.
This resolved when it finally became clear that this was in fact Captain Jack, who could not die but only age. It was an homage to John Barrowman by Russell T Davies.
Another one I first heard when young, but took a while to understand, was a one-liner from Dorothy Parker (but not sure if it made its way into any film):
"You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think!"
Oh, well, the two greatest Carry on lines are as follows:
1. Charles Hawtrey (IIRC, otherwise Kenneth Williams) as Julius Caesar comes running into the room:
"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"
2. Bernard Bresslaw as the outlaw Bungedit Din, after being told that the occupants of the Embassy are going on with life as normal despite the threat of imminent attack, expresses his astonishment, and a lieutenant replies: "It is a typical exhibition of the British phlegm."

In Carry on up the Khyber, Kenneth Williams plays the "Khasi of Kalabar".
