goose Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Besides those mentioned (definitely the Back to the Future trilogy for me) I'd have to add Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.Think you used enough dynamite there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Most quotable movie? As in, how much of it we know by heart?Back to the Future trilogySerenityOcean's ElevenOcean's ThirteenThe AvengersStar TrekMiami 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. Do you have Showtime? Their channels have been playing it lately.

GeddyRulz Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 My two biggies are Airplane and This is Spinal Tap, which are both infinitely quotable. Many other comedies are tied for third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Dunno if it's been mentioned, but I use Vacation and Christmas Vacation quite a bit. Seems like for me, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Will Farrell movies are big hitters with me :) Edited April 2, 2013 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Oh... and Elf. I find myself saying "Son of a nutcracker!" a lot. And sometimes when I'm reading posts here on TRF, I will smile. My wife will say "what are you smiling about?" and I almost always reply "smiling's my favorite." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
