GeniSys allowed is NOT! Is movie FORBIDDEN!

 

Sir, I'm sorry but your voice is carrying, I don't think you want to be discussing this subject in public.

 

I'll discuss what I like! And who the hell are you?

 

I love these movie quotes

 

Just remember to target engine only.

 

And pray for an understanding boss when you score a lucky shot.

 

I say if it gets you vaporized, it's an unlucky shot. But hey, I'm not a Klingon.

 

Anybody got a spare tribble? I need to test something....

 

Gravity is the film I go back to most, but also through the Tiangong scene on Youtube or just listening to the soundtrack. Collateral and Out of Sight are probably second. T2 and Empire and TWOK are pretty close behind those.

 

They purr for me.

 

Hot Shots.

For me, it's a lot of different family movies that are just fun, like Carpool, 3 Ninjas, Surf Ninjas, Mighty Ducks, as well as Star Trek 2009, Star Wars (the original. No bloody 4, 5 or 6!), as well as Blazing Saddles.

 

Then there's screwball comedies which were rather ubiquitous especially in the 80s

Porky's - and its sequels that did not need to exist
My Tutor
Private School
Fast Times At Ridgemont High - But really not sure if this would belong here

Far too many other titles of a similar vein

You get the idea they played fast and loose with themes and would have broken the rules with the ratings system we have today.

 

I'm watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off again. Possibly my fourth time.

It's one of the few films I can rewatch every few years.

 

I like that one. It's a good film.

 

And Hot Shots Part Deux.

The scene where Topper uses his nose to roll the meatball is always good for a laugh.

 

So yeah The Blues Brothers is still quite funny and it's been 20+ years since I watched it and over 40 years since I saw it in the late 80s. They don't make films like that anymore.

 

Have you seen 2007's HOT FUZZ?
