One of my favorites is "The Cat's Eye". That first segment about the ex-mafia guys who started a company to help folks quit smoking is a classic.

The climactic scene where the asylum inmates go wild accompanied by the full chorale version of Beethoven's Ode to Joy from the Ninth is one of my all-time favorites. |
