“The Simpsons” enduring popularity is due at least in part to its stunning cultural literacy — all those Harvard grads in the writing room trying to impress each other.  This handy list of the top 100 movie references in “The Simpsons” is a good guide, and should inspire you to see some of the movies you did not recognize.

My favorite is “Dangerous Curves,” inspired by the Albert Finney/Audrey Hepburn movie “Two for the Road.”
