Your most quotable movie(s)


Lost In Xanadu

For me, in college it was Top Gun. Period. Watched it at least twice a month. We had Top Gun parties that started small and got huge. Everytime you hear Mav or Maverick, you took a drink. Fun stuff.

 

Now it's the likes of Caddyshack and Airplane. Honorable mention to The Holy Grail

I thought about it some more - and I also quote from the following quite a bit:

 

I agree with CG - Blues Brothers!

Good call Bob with Tommy Boy

My Cousin Vinny

Dumb and Dumber

Planes Trains Autos

Groundhog Day (hard to believe I know, but lot of inside jokes with my wife)

Most quotable movie? As in, how much of it we know by heart?

  • Back to the Future trilogy
  • Serenity
  • Ocean's Eleven
  • Ocean's Thirteen
  • The Avengers
  • Star Trek
  • Miami Vice (the movie that launched the original series, not the remake)
  • Top Gun (formerly, I haven't seen it in years)

 

Most quotable, as in how often I repeat the lines in public/with friends?

Every Nicolas Cage and Arnold movie. I've got a friend who just loves these two actors and when we're bored in programming class we try to find appropriate times to use their lines (using IM, we wouldn't talk in a lecture hall of 300+ stuents). Sounds childish, but when you're learning about linked lists for the fifth time...

 

There are a lot of movies mentioned in this thread that are on my "to watch" post it. The Big Lebowski just got bumped to the top of the list.

Yeah, Nic Cage in The Wicker Man remake is awesomely quotable: "How'd it get BURNED?!!!" "Killing me won't bring back your goddamn honey!" "No, NOT THE BEES, AHHHH!"

 

And you are in for a treat if you haven't seen Lebowski. It's earned so much hype over the years, but it delivers. There's a reason it grew legs and endured despite initially receiving lukewarm and downright negative reviews. Critics did not understand it upon initial release. It's a strange film, to be sure. Like many great films it can take a couple of viewings for its genius to completely emerge. I always worry that public quote saturation ruins movies like Lebowski for the uninitiated. I hope not.

Truth be told I only know a few of lines from LeBowski, all of them are out of context and make 0 sense to me so I don't think it will impact the jokes. Next movie I sit down to watch will be that one. I hope it's on netflix or apple TV. I don't like having to go through illegitimate means to acquire these kinds of things because distribution is horrible.

Besides those mentioned (definitely the Back to the Future trilogy for me) I'd have to add Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Edited by Your_Lion
