What’s your favorite movie quote that you use regularly that no one gets?

[Popquiz81]

Mine is “No time for love Dr. Jones” which references both Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Clerks.

One of my teams leaves a pile of shit I have to take care of right before I’m heading out? That’s my go to.

Probably game over man or yeah man it's a dry heat from Aliens.

My favorite scene in that movie is when Hicks pulls out the shotgun and says “I like to keep this handy…for close encounters”

Aliens was very quotable. A lot of movies have tried to copy that formula but none were as funny/memorable. Some of the Alien Covenant movie tried to do this but it was cringey.

Both Prometheus and Covenant are some of the worst shit I’ve ever seen. Not just as “Alien” films but as just films.

 

[christophero]

Agreed. The dumbest crews ever.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Lots of them from The Big Lebowski. Especially, “Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man!”.

And a play on one from my favorite all time movie, Goodfellas. So after Tommy shoots and kills Spider, Jimmy tells him he has to dig the hole so they can bury the body. Tommy goes on and on about, “I’ll dig the freakin’ hole. You think it’s the first hole I ever dug!?!”. So like when my GF asks if I’ll cook dinner, I always answer with…”I’ll cook the freakin dinner. You think it’s the first dinner I ever cooked!?!”.

 

[Popquiz81]

They were all idiots and deserved to die. Which you know THAT could be actually be an interesting film but the films treat them completely utterly serious and don’t acknowledge the fact that they’re all idiots and deserve to die.

The big space jockey guy was laughable. He looked so silly. The android David was the best thing in both movies. Goodfellas is a classic.

Fassbender was good for what he had to work with

 

[the nail at the foul line]

There are two kinds of people in this world, my friend, those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

I don't think the hard stuff's going to come down for quite some time.

As I age and the people I work with get younger, It doesn't work much anymore. I was training some young people and said something about something being over the hump. Then I said what hump? Nobody had a clue.

What we got here is a failure to communicate.

Whenever I have to get weighed I say "It wouldn't do no good. I wouldn't know how much was me, how much was all that coal dust I swallowed." Surprisingly nobody has got it yet. Granted the movie is over 40 years but it's about a Kentucky legend.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Look around, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?

 

[JonathanW]

“Chase him, and go fast” from The Phantom.
Was a bad movie, funny line that I don’t think was meant to be funny.

 

[FltDoc]

"Hey son, do you have hair on those peaches?"

 

[Ron Mehico]

“Good talk, I’ll see ya out there” from Old School

“This is, this is just subpar” from The Family Man

 

[Glenn's take]

No really, trying to quit.

Fletch

 

[Get Bucket$]

I was not awakened when I gave orders for wakening. Clockwork

220, 221 - whatever it takes.

Just bend and scoop, like the Mexicans.

When boy, when are you gonna get your act together!

Both quotes from Up in Smoke. Hilarious movie and one of my favorite comedies.

"Son, your mother and me would like you to cozy up to the Finklestein boy."

Saw that movie the week it came out in 1978.

Every time I see the Cheesecake Factory: “You know, tonight at the Cheesecake Factory was the happiest I’ve been in months.” My family never laughs but f*** ‘em.

And said by a guy who was in a great band, and one of their most famous songs was, yes and you already know, The Weight.

Another great line from that was 'well, me and Doo was just being horny'. I laughed my ass off.

Cool Hand Luke is one of my absolute favorite films.

Levon Helm was the best.

I still kick myself in the ass for never getting the chance to see him perform before he passed.

He also played in the movie Shooter.

"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life." from Animal House. I only say it to myself and only when I weigh myself.

The Last Waltz is still the best concert documentary film IMO.

Once Were Brothers is a good watch as well

 

[Kentucky fan 1989]

"Where did you get those clothes? At the toilet store?"

 

[Glenn's take]

This one goes to 11.

Now that's a tasty burger!!!

“I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue”. Airplane. I work with a bunch in their 20’s and they have no idea what I’m saying.

I teach 7th graders and I use quite a lot of quotes that generally lead to blank stares. Was taking attendence in one class a few weeks ago and used the "Bueller, Bueller, Bueller," line. A kid raised her hand and said you should know that there's nobody in this class with that name. Epic facepalm.

Do TV shows count? I use Tamaran every once in a while (seriously).

'Juuuusssssttt a bit outside' when playing tennis and a serve is several feet out.

'There was one?' From Meatballs, when somebody asks a really dumb question.

I quote movies, songs and TV shows all the time. Unfortunately, many of my work colleagues are at least 15 years younger than me and have no idea what the reference is from.

'Amirite, amirite, amirite?' From Groundhog day When I'm right and I want to be annoying.
