It might not be the most obvious place to host crucial – or hilarious – movie scenes, but bathrooms and toilets have played host to a number of brilliant and memorable scenes in big old blockbusters.

Below you can find a list of crucial movie bathroom and toilet scenes that each movie wouldn’t be the same without.

Bridesmaids

In a beautiful bridal boutique, central character Annie and the other bridesmaids come down with a bout of food poisoning and need to use the toilet – all at the same time. The scene wasn’t originally in the script, but we’re glad it was included, as it became one of the films stand-out scenes.

Marion Crane, during her stay at the Bates Motel takes a shower, she is stabbed to death, with the famous music by Bernard Herrmann setting the backdrop. Discovering who stabbed her takes up the rest of the movie.
