Isnāt the whole movie an unintentional comedy?
This is my adopted daughter, Margot Tenenbaum.
(Legitimately impossible to pick just one.)
I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast!
Larry Bird doesnāt do as much ball-handling in one night as you do in an hour!
It was intentional, it just didnāt work.
āAll those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed - casualties of a war they had nothing to do with.ā
Ok fine:
H.I., youāre young and you got your health, what you want with a job?

Gale: All right, ya hayseeds, itās a stick-up. Everybody freeze. Everybody down on the ground.
Feisty Hayseed: Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, ifān I freeze, I canāt rightly drop. And ifān I drop, Iām a-gonna be in motion. You seeā¦
Gale: Shut up!
Feisty Hayseed: Okay then.
Gale: Everybody down on the ground!
Evelle: Yāall can just forget that part about freezinā now.
Gale: Better still to get down there.
Evelle: Yeah, yāall hear that, donāt ya?
[Everybody lays down. Gale looks at the now-empty teller windows]
Gale: Shit! Whereād all the tellers go?
Tellerās voices: Weāre down here, sir.
Evelle: Theyāre on the floor as you commanded, Gale.

Wilson: How you doinā then? All right, are you? Now look, squire, youāre the guvānor here, I can see that. Iām in your manor now. So thereās no need to get your knickers in a twist. Whatever this bollocks is thatās going down between you and that slag Valentine, itās got nothing to do with me. I couldnāt care less. Alright, mate? Let me explain. When I was in prison - second time - uh, no, telling a lie, third stretch, yeah, third, third - there was this screw what really had it in for me, and that geezer was top of my list. Two years after I got sprung, I sees him in Holland Park. Heās sittinā on a bench feedinā bloody pigeons. There was no-one about, I couldāve gone up behind him and snapped his fuckinā neck, wallop! But I left it. I couldāve knobbled him, but I didnāt. āCause what I thought I wanted wasnāt what I wanted. What I thought I was thinkinā about was something else. I didnāt give a toss. It didnāt matter, see? This berk on the bench wasnāt worth my time. It meant sod-all in the end, ācause you gotta make a choice: when to do something, and when to let it go. When it matters, and when it donāt. Bide your time. Thatās what prison teaches you, if nothing else. Bide your time, and everything becomes clear, and you can act accordingly.
Head DEA Agent: Thereās one thing I donāt understand. The thing I donāt understand is every motherfuckinā word youāre saying.
Hooper: Always some white boy gotta invoke the holy trilogy. Bust this: Those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother man down, even in a galaxy far, far away. Check this shit: You got cracker farm boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!
Banky Edwards: Whatās a Nubian?
Hooper: Shut the fuck up! Now⦠Vader, heās a spiritual brother, yāknow, down with the force and all that good shit. Then this cracker, Skywalker, gets his hands on a light saber and the boy decides heās gonna run the fuckinā universe; gets a whole clan of whites together. And they go and bust up Vaderās hood, the Death Star. Now what the fuck do you call that?
Banky Edwards: Intergalactic civil war?
Hooper: Gentrification! They gonā drive out the black element to make the galaxy quote, unquote, safe for white folks. And Jediās the most insulting installment! Because Vaderās beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryinā to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!
Banky Edwards: Well, isnāt that true?
[Hooper pulls out his gun, shoots Banky]
YOUāRE GOING THE WRONG WAY!
Oh, heās drunk. How would he know where weāre going?
Pick just about anything from Airplane.
Stop calling me Shirley
I like that moment in Airplane when all of the passengers go berserk all at once, and then as part of the pandemonium a random topless woman from the neck down just floats across the middle of the screen.
I just watched Working Girl. Melanie Griffith vacuuming topless for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Never seen it. But have heard lines from it quoted often.
Marathon Man coming Monday on Rewatchables. Iāve never seen it.
Just rewatched Independence Day. I havenāt listened to the pod yet, but Iām going be very disappointed if the most 1996 thing about this movie isnāt Harry Connick Jr. impersonating Jesse Jackson.
I thought he was doing MLK the first time I saw the movie, but my closed caption said it was Jesse Jackson and I was like āOh yeah, that is him.ā
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat
