I saw Shrek II with my kids yesterday, and I enjoyed the hell out of it! (okay, I thought Cameron Diaz needed to be more... erm... 'animated' in her voice acting) I won't talk about the plot right now, but I had a good time trying to recognize all the popular culture references in the movie. I thought we could start a list, starting with movie references. I'll annotate if necessary:

Movies in SHREK II

Fabulous Baker Boys
Spiderman
Lord of the Rings
Some Like it Hot (?)
Flashdance
Ghostbusters
E.T.
Beauty and the Beast (Disney ver.)


I'm sure there were many more, but these are the ones I remember after only one cup of coffee....

I think there was a reference to The Graduate as well

Great movie, we saw it last night. It's one of those films that can be appreciated on many different levels IMO

That's what I loved about the first one. Works for kids and adults, on two totaly different levels.
