Since it's the Year of the Rabbit, and with Easter coming up and everything, I thought I'd make my own short list of favorite pop culture bunnies.There will be no Roger, Anna Faris, or Playboy love here. And while I do love me some Bugs, I was always more of a Road Runner gal. And sorry, Gummo was just too much for me.1. Harvey: The 6'3.5" tall white rabbit who befriends social outcast Elwood (Jimmy Stewart) is a mischievous fairy fond of eccentrics, brought on by a few too many martinis. He is also a kind of spiritual godfather to Bianca the sex doll in Lars and the Real Girl. Thankfully Steven Spielberg is staying away from him.
2. Steve Martin's stand-up headgear: My favorite emblem of silly. I can just see the ears bouncing up and down while he plays a particularly rousing banjo number.
3. The rabbits of Lost: With all kinds of floating allusions to Alice in Wonderland, Watership Down and Of Mice and Men, the rabbits were everywhere. My favorite was number 8, used by Ben to play mind games with Sawyer. Mostly because I loved a good Sawyer-centric episode.
4. Frank: A creepier man-sized rabbit than Harvey, because, well, he's a harbinger of the apocalypse and whatnot. He's Harvey's evil twin. But that doesn't mean he's not a romantic.

This is so great! I dig all of these rabbits as well, especially Harvey since that's one of my favorite films. I would probably also add the killer rabbit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail if I had a list.
OMG, how could i have forgotten the killer rabbit?? My husband will be so disappointed in me.
for the record i am not disappointed.
