15. Alright alright alright

16. “If you’re from Africa, why are you white?””

17. “Don’t fuck with me fellas! This ain’t my first time at the rodeo.”

    I know “No wire hangers” is the more well-known quote from that movie, but that first one is more quotable imo.

18. The Blues Brothers is hands down, the best, all time one-liner movie ever made. There are too many quotes to list.

    Army of Darkness is a solid second. Again, too many to list.

    Die Hard has some great quotes too.

    edited to add: A Bronx Tale,”(click) Now you can’t leave.”

19. The path of the righteous man is beset of all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil me. Blessed is he who, in the name of the charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

20. Come on man, I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin Eagles, man!

21. “…some men aren’t looking for anything logical,
    like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with.

    – Big Trouble in Little China

27. > “This stuff”? Oh… Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select, I don’t know, that… lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean. And you’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it, who showed cerulean military jackets? (I think we need a jacket here.) And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores, and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs, and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room, from a pile of “stuff”.
