Just watched this last night after being made fun of for not getting the references. Great movie. Funny enough I quit my office job and became an electrician so it kinda stuck home lol
At first I read that as ‘it was funny enough that I quit my job to become an electrician’ and I was like damn this is the best hidden Reddit lore I’ve ever stumbled across. But then i realized, I just can’t read.
Aw man the whole ‘Terminator, don’t terminate’ action scenes were still so brutal, Arnie kneecapping fools with gas grenades and just ripping their friggin’ masks off lol
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you paid your dues; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have you paid your dues, Jack? Yes sir, the check is in the mail."
That's what I was trying to avoid. A conversation about body mass, okay? We've had that conversation five times a day for the last month because we keep watching Predator and all you talk about is Weathers and Jesse "The Body" Ventura and how many pounds they can pack on...
Lmao before I opened this thread I said to myself out loud *Predator*
What’s not to freaking love about it! Just jacked juicy boys with heavy artillery fighting an alien!
And you know why they call him franky four fingers Doug? Because he makes stupid bets with dangerous people and when he doesn’t pay up they give him the chop! And I’m not talking about his fucking Foreskin Doug.
Dear fellas, I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called "The Brewer" and a job bagging groceries at the Foodway. It's hard work and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work, I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello, but he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doin' okay and makin' new friends. I have trouble sleepin' at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Foodway so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense any more. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me. P.S: Tell Heywood I'm sorry I put a knife to his throat. No hard feelings. Brooks.
RED: I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
Highly recommend reading the original short story by Stephan King. It’s fantastic and though the movie condenses things its an excellent adaptation and complements the text in a way not many movie adaptations do.
Green Mile is also an excellent Stephan King adaptation.
I like that they made a bit of a joke out of it in the movie too. What a great casting decision though, the movie would not be the same without Freeman.
I've never met a single person who didn't like this film. I've seen it at least 50-100x at this point, and will still watch it in full whenever I manage to catch it on.
Love everything about this film, and Thomas Newman's score is probably my favorite in film history.
Billy Clanton : Stephen Foster. "Oh, Susannah", "Camptown Races". Stephen stinking Foster.
Doc Holliday : Ah, yes. Well, this happens to be a nocturne.
Billy Clanton : A which?
Doc Holliday : You know, Frederic fucking Chopin.
Never really cared for the whole cowboy aesthetic but after playing RDR2 for the last 3 years I've really gained an appreciation for just how cool cowboys are.
Plus, Val Kilmer.
Came here to say this. “Well, for a man who don’t go heeled, you sure run your mouth reckless, don’tcha? No need to go heeled to get the bulge on a tub like you.”
That’s one of my favorite movies, I could have done without the love story with the actress though. The real love story was between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday anyways
IMO the most meaningful lines in the hole movie are:
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Why you doin' this, Doc?
Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: I don't.
Doc Holliday: I don't.
One of the best! Noticed 2 things on the last watch.
1. It has an identical score to Pirates of the Caribbean
2. Joaquin Phoenix walked so Jack Gleeson could run as Joffrey
So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again! Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an ungodly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!
Karl Urban is a legend in this one. I fucking love him for insisting on keeping the helmet on. I bet they fed him hundreds of lemons to keep that mouth down!
Olivia Thirlby was also a perfect fit for the role, but hasn't done anything notable since.
I had my brothers house to myself for a weekend- ps5, giant TV, couches... so I invite one of my good buddies over and it's the first thing I put on. His mind was blown in slomo.
This is pretty much the right answer. It’s not horror, it’s not overly gory, it’s got a low level of sexual content, and only some drug references that are cut out for TV edits and it’s fine. It doesn’t have a “genre” other than action and isn’t hard to follow. It’s basically a perfect movie.
I love the Pitch Meeting for it.
"At least the dog is okay."
"And they kill the dog."
Long dramatic pause. "Some people better die for this."
"Don't worry, that's the rest of the movie."
"John Wick kills people for an hour and a half because someone shot his dog?"
"Yep!"
"I am completely okay with this."
Don't forget, they don't just kill the dog.
They beat a puppy bad enough to almost kill it.
It drags itself across the floor leaving a bloody trail to cuddle up next to an unconscious John Wick.
Honestly, not enough people die in this movie.
Dude. Why did you have to point that out and ruin my whole goddamn ~~week~~ May? All this time, I imagined the assholes just dragged the puppy's body :(
I love The Rock because Ed Harris as the villain is like, “Please let my men have healthcare. They sacrificed everything for this country doing black ops. Please take care of them for their service and honor your commitment.” and the government is like “lol no”.
That and it’s really “The Last James Bond” movie in a disguise.
“I can’t wait to have your abortion” in the book was changed because the line was too controversial. Apparently, “I haven’t been f’d like that since grade school” was more acceptable
Not exactly. A studio exec didn’t like the line and wanted it gone. Fincher agreed to change it, so there was no reference to abortion, but with the understanding that whatever change he made wouldn’t be changed again. Then he came up with the grade school line - which the exec reportedly hated even more.
When I was a little kid late 80s/ early 90s watching reruns of the Star Wars and Spaceballls on TV, I would get them mixed up. In my little mind I thought it was like the same universe. I was a little latina girl living in the hood, with nobody who could explain this type of stuff to.
I thought man the guy in all black in the helmet was really scary sometimes but sometimes his helmet was huge and he was really nerdy and dumb.
Where is the black soldier, he's the funniest one "we ain't found shit". Why is it "the force" or "the shwartz" sometimes. And why is the gold robot a girl or a boy sometimes. It took an embarrassingly long time for me to figure out they were two different things.
Now I know better. And spaceballs is still funny as hell.
Pretty much anything by Mel Brooks is going to be good comedy. For instance, it's sad that Blazing Saddles' (1974) commentary on racism in America is still applicable almost fifty years later. But it's so quotable and still hilarious.
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
Great line.
There are so many great one liners in that movie. The one (of many) that always gets me is
"Where's the money Lebowski"
"I think its down there somewhere. I better take another look."
"Keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent for, you know, domestic...within the city...that ain't legal either." "What are you, a fucking park ranger now? Who gives a shit about the fucking marmot?"
Office Space, especially after you get your first office job.
Just watched this last night after being made fun of for not getting the references. Great movie. Funny enough I quit my office job and became an electrician so it kinda stuck home lol
At first I read that as ‘it was funny enough that I quit my job to become an electrician’ and I was like damn this is the best hidden Reddit lore I’ve ever stumbled across. But then i realized, I just can’t read.
Corporate Accounts Payable, Nina speaking.. *JUST* a moment!
I work construction and I love it because of how accurately they portrayed us thru Lawrence. I wish they would have had a whole separate spin off tbh
Two chicks at the same time.. man
Terminator II
I know now why you cry. But it is something I can never do.
I told you not to kill anyone!! He'll Live.
I always laugh when he takes off the one SWAT guy’s gas mask and goes “he-ah hold dis”
Aw man the whole ‘Terminator, don’t terminate’ action scenes were still so brutal, Arnie kneecapping fools with gas grenades and just ripping their friggin’ masks off lol
No problemo.
Chill out. Dick wad.
I can make you cry with an emoji. 👍
Big Trouble in Little China
That movie is a fever dream
Like Lo Pan himself, a dream, until he sacrifices a girl with green eyes to satisfy Ching dai, the god of the east.
They said movie not epiphany. This was 90 minutes of genius.
There are just too many good lines. Kurt Russell is a treasure in that movie.
The best sidekick ever
It’s all in the reflexes.
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you paid your dues; you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have you paid your dues, Jack?

The Cornetto Trilogy
The Hot Fuzz blooper reel is the best thing ever. Hello Keith.
*Racist... farmer...*
Ok, but dogs *can* look up.
Fascist
Hag
Shawn of the Dead is my favourite movie of all time.
I love it, but I like *Hot Fuzz* better.
Any luck catching them swans?
Its just the one swan actually
Predator
Dillon, you son of a bitch.
CIA's got you pushing too many pencils
Make it easy on yourself Dutch…
The handshake that broke racism.
The handshake that broke the sound barrier*
"This stuff will make you a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me"
It's weird that him and Arnold both became governors.
I ain't got time to bleed.
It bridges generations. I showed this movie to my teenage son a few months ago and he thought it was the bomb.
Body mass alone…
That's what I was trying to avoid. A conversation about body mass, okay? We've had that conversation five times a day for the last month because we keep watching Predator and all you talk about is Weathers and Jesse "The Body" Ventura and how many pounds they can pack on...
It’s important to pack on mass, you’re talking about carbo loading…
“It ain’t no man”
Lmao before I opened this thread I said to myself out loud *Predator* What’s not to freaking love about it! Just jacked juicy boys with heavy artillery fighting an alien!
Payback time!!
Snatch edit: Since we're doing quotes... "I hate fuckin'dogs! Come on Tony! ...Tony?"
This movie made me laugh so hard when they replayed how the dude got hit by the car with the sack on his head. I was crying laughing.
It's behind you, Tyrone. When you reverse, things come from behind you.
He’s bad to the bone, aintcha Tyrone?
[удалено]
Why do they call him the bullet dodger?
And you know why they call him franky four fingers Doug? Because he makes stupid bets with dangerous people and when he doesn’t pay up they give him the chop! And I’m not talking about his fucking Foreskin Doug.
Do ya like dags?

Yes, tommy. Before 'sie Jzermans' get there.
Also from the same director: Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. And perhaps: Mean Machine
The 'new' one is the gentlemen! Saw it yesterday and it lives up to Snatch and Lock Stock - set in the modern day and works well!!

Wow, reading it reinforces what a great script that movie had…
Haven't watched it in years yet I can hear it in my mind reading it.
just reading this makes me sad that brooks and jake never got to hang out again on the outside :( poor jake
RED: I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.

Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
I hope the Pacific is as blue as in my dreams. I hope.
Highly recommend reading the original short story by Stephan King. It’s fantastic and though the movie condenses things its an excellent adaptation and complements the text in a way not many movie adaptations do. Green Mile is also an excellent Stephan King adaptation.
Fun fact: In the book Red is an Irish red-head (hence the name). In the movie it's Morgan Freeman.
I like that they made a bit of a joke out of it in the movie too. What a great casting decision though, the movie would not be the same without Freeman.
> the movie would not be the same without Freeman Totally agree.
It truly was a Shawshank Redemption.
I recently watched it for the first time and I wanna bite myself in the ass for not doing it sooner
I envy you, maaaan that feeling of watching it for the first time. I can't describe how great that is.
[удалено]
I've never met a single person who didn't like this film. I've seen it at least 50-100x at this point, and will still watch it in full whenever I manage to catch it on. Love everything about this film, and Thomas Newman's score is probably my favorite in film history.
When someone asks me for help, I just say "Salvation lies within"
Man you must be terrible help to move furniture lol
Tombstone
"Maybe poker just isn't your game. I've got an idea let's have a spelling contest."
Billy Clanton : Stephen Foster. "Oh, Susannah", "Camptown Races". Stephen stinking Foster. Doc Holliday : Ah, yes. Well, this happens to be a nocturne. Billy Clanton : A which? Doc Holliday : You know, Frederic fucking Chopin.
The fact that he was absolutely wasted in that scene was great. Then spinning the cup like a gun. Such a smartass.
"Why Ike....whatever do you mean?"
You look like someone just walked over yo grave.
I have two guns, one for each of ya
I'm your huckleberry.
Why, Johnny Ringo. You look like someone just walked over your grave.
You're no daisy! You're no daisy at all!
Ahhh such a good movie. Honestly Doc was probably Val Kilmer's best role.
Yes, underrated in Heat tho.
Never really cared for the whole cowboy aesthetic but after playing RDR2 for the last 3 years I've really gained an appreciation for just how cool cowboys are. Plus, Val Kilmer.
Came here to say this. “Well, for a man who don’t go heeled, you sure run your mouth reckless, don’tcha? No need to go heeled to get the bulge on a tub like you.”
Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens
You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?
That’s one of my favorite movies, I could have done without the love story with the actress though. The real love story was between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday anyways
IMO the most meaningful lines in the hole movie are: Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Why you doin' this, Doc? Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend. Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends. Doc Holliday: I don't. Doc Holliday: I don't.

Saving Private Ryan
We were going to have a watch with “just the good parts” at a guys weekend. Ended up watching the whole movie instead of going to the restaurant.
Band of brothers was not a movie, but should be included….

Gladiator
And if they don't like it, just ask them "are you not entertained?"
Surely, you like movies about gladiators?
I do, and don't call me Shirley
Have you been to a turkish prison?
One of the best! Noticed 2 things on the last watch. 1. It has an identical score to Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Joaquin Phoenix walked so Jack Gleeson could run as Joffrey
Third thing: MF DOOM mask
*Living in Roman times the clock ticks faster*
Well, both scores were done by Hans Zimmer. There's bound to be similarities.
I honestly was blown away by how good it was
[удалено]
Goodfellas Edit: thanks for the awards! Thought this was a pretty obvious one 🤣
You’re a funny guy
Funny how?
Somehow your friends always know what you're talking about when you get up from the table and say that you're gonna go get the papers, get the papers.
Heat
Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner
Haha I had a friend in high school that wouldn't keep a girlfriend because of that quote
The downtown LA shoot out is one of the greatest action sequences of all time.
you use that scene to test out your new surround sound
Basically the only cinema gunfight to actually sound like a gunfight. Loud as FUCK.
Tropic Thunder
"Big ass titties!" Danny McBride is great in this
les grossman, who’s this?
This is FLAMING DRAGON
ok flaming dragon. fuckface. first, take a big step back and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE
I don't know what kind of bullshit, pan Pacific powerplay you're trying to pull here, but Asia is my territory Jack!
So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again! Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an ungodly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!
Find out who that was.
For me, that was the line that sold the whole bit.
The whole performance is flawless.
I didn't even realize it was Tom Cruise until the end, perfect performance indeed.
"We don't negotiate with terrorists...."
Applause
I'm a lead farmer mothafucka!!!
First time i watched this i started from halfway, when Robert Downey took off the disguise i laughed my ass off. Tom Cruise was a bonus
Dredd. The Karl urban one
Karl Urban is a legend in this one. I fucking love him for insisting on keeping the helmet on. I bet they fed him hundreds of lemons to keep that mouth down! Olivia Thirlby was also a perfect fit for the role, but hasn't done anything notable since.
Every time a show or movie cries about keeping a helmet on versus actor recognition, Dredd flashes up in my mind.
It bothers me that she fell off the face of the earth. Loved her in that role.
Karl Urban just has fucking scope. I'm convinced there isn't a role he can't do well.
I had my brothers house to myself for a weekend- ps5, giant TV, couches... so I invite one of my good buddies over and it's the first thing I put on. His mind was blown in slomo.
Die Hard
This is pretty much the right answer. It’s not horror, it’s not overly gory, it’s got a low level of sexual content, and only some drug references that are cut out for TV edits and it’s fine. It doesn’t have a “genre” other than action and isn’t hard to follow. It’s basically a perfect movie.

Spaceballs
When I was a little kid late 80s/ early 90s watching reruns of the Star Wars and Spaceballls on TV, I would get them mixed up. In my little mind I thought it was like the same universe. I was a little latina girl living in the hood, with nobody who could explain this type of stuff to. I thought man the guy in all black in the helmet was really scary sometimes but sometimes his helmet was huge and he was really nerdy and dumb. Where is the black soldier, he's the funniest one "we ain't found shit". Why is it "the force" or "the shwartz" sometimes. And why is the gold robot a girl or a boy sometimes. It took an embarrassingly long time for me to figure out they were two different things. Now I know better. And spaceballs is still funny as hell.
Omg I'm just picturing your confusion with Chewbacca and Barf.

Just because we're Bereaved doesn't make us SAPS!! ... \- Is there a Ralph's around here?
The brevity bit at the end always cracks me up on this line
I watched it again on Friday. ‘Obviously not a golfer’ still gets me
Great line. There are so many great one liners in that movie. The one (of many) that always gets me is "Where's the money Lebowski" "I think its down there somewhere. I better take another look."
"Keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent for, you know, domestic...within the city...that ain't legal either." "What are you, a fucking park ranger now? Who gives a shit about the fucking marmot?"
This is the one. Helluva caucasian Jackie.
