Any other answer is... inconceivable

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say "Ni" at will to old ladies.

The Princess bride, no question!

Inconceivable!

"Surely you can't be serious."

That's an entirely different situation all together now.

It's a vehicle with wings large enough that it can fly, but that's not important right now.

I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

Hot Fuzz. Hands down.

Everyone's got guns round here. Like who? Farmers, Farmers mums.

[–] apotheotic 2 points 5 days ago

Hot fuzz for sure, I'm constantly quoting it

Galaxy Quest

Aliens

There is literally no competition. Every scene has at least 1 classic line. Aliens is also the gold standard reference used by all action movies since.

It's a dry heat

Nuke it from orbit

There goes our salvage guys

You got the duty, open that bag

There's a throwaway line that one of the Bobs says talking with management about the layoffs where he starts with "well just a second there professor" and it's one I never hear quoted but for some reason that phrase gets me every time I watch it.

I have several ol' reliables:

Grandma's Boy: "high score? What's that mean?"

Snatch: "when you're in reverse, things tend to come from behind ya."

Tombstone: "i got two guns, one for each of ya."

Big Lebowski: "he's a good man Jeffrey. And thorough."

There's more, but those are probably my most quoted.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

Billy Madison

No milk will ever be our milk.

If peeing your pants is cool then consider me Miles Davis!

He called the shit poop!

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
