Annie Hall (1877)

8 people recommended this item

Description

"It's so clean out here."
"That's because they don't throw their garbage away, they turn it into television shows."

"What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards. Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler."

"I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light."

"Annie, there's a big lobster behind the refrigerator. I can't get it out. This thing's heavy. Maybe if I put a little dish of butter sauce here with a nutcracker, it will run out the other side."

"Love is too weak a word for what I feel - I luuurve you, you know, I loave you, I luff you, two F's, yes I have to invent, of course I - I do, don't you think I do?"

Avalon

First to recommend

Description

"I came to America in 1914 - by way of Philadelphia. That's where I got off the boat. And then I came to Baltimore. It was the most beautiful place you ever seen in your life. There were lights everywhere! What lights they had! It was a celebration of lights! I thought they were for me, Sam, who was in America. Sam was in America! I didn't know what holiday it was, but there were lights. And I walked under them. The sky exploded, people cheered, there were fireworks! What a welcome it was, what a welcome!"

"You cut the turkey? You cut the turkey without me?"

"Who said names were supposed to be easy to say? What are you, a candy bar?"

Zardoz

2 people recommended this item

Description

"I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz. I have lived 300 years, and long to die. But death is no longer possible, I am immortal. I present now my story - full of mystery and intrigue. Rich in irony, and most satirical. It is set deep within a possible future, so none of these events have yet occurred. But they may! Be warned, lest you end as I. In this tale I am a fake god by occupation, and a magician by inclination. Merlin is my hero! I am the puppet master. I manipulate many of the characters and events you will see. But I am invented too for your entertainment and amusement. And you, poor creatures, who conjured you out of the clay? Is God in show business too?"

Idiocracy

5 people recommended this item

Description

"Unaware of what year it was, Joe wandered the streets desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Joe was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them."

"The #1 movie in America was called "Ass." And that's what it was. For 90 minutes. It won four Oscars that year, including best screenplay."

"Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator: It's got what plants crave! It's got electrolytes! What are electrolytes?! I don't know! But Brawndo is full of them! That's why it's like a Monster Truck you can pour into your face!"

Strange Days

First to recommend

Description

"Paranoia is just reality on a finer scale."

"See... I can get you what you want, I can. I can get you anything, you just have to talk to me, you have to trust me. You can trust me, 'cause I'm your priest, I'm your shrink... I am you main connection to the switchboard of he soul. I'm the magic man... Santa Claus of the subconscious. You say it, you think it, you can have it."

"The issue's not whether you're paranoid, Lenny, I mean look at this shit, the issue is whether you're paranoid enough."

"No plan is perfect, Lenny. Hey, cheer up. World's gonna end in ten minutes anyway."

Harold and Maude

11 people recommended this item

Description

My single favorite movie of all time. For me, it set the groundwork for all of the dark/ quirky comedies we all know and love now. Harold, a dryly depressed nobody falls in love with Maude, a dysfunctional free spirit five times his age. This is their adventure and it's a wild one.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - Criterion Collection (2-Disc Special Edition)

6 people recommended this item

Description

"Supposedly Cousteau and his cronies invented the idea of putting walkie-talkies into the helmet. But we made ours with a special rabbit ear on the top so we could pipe in some music."

"I've never seen a bond company stooge stick his neck out like that."

Wet Hot American Summer

5 people recommended this item

Description

"Excuse me, ladies. You may remember me as the guy who came to dinner a few weeks ago with underwear on my head. My name is Keith Stat from Millburn, New Jersey. State bird, the mosquito. And as you may have heard, I am recently a crowned class B dungeon master. So if any of you would like to play D&D today, please speak now or forever hold your peace. Anyone? Alexa! Maybe you would like to join in? We do need a druid, and you have definitely cast a level 5 charm spell on me."
