After a long weekend, we are back at it. After the jump, you're Wendy Peffercorn region...
------------------------------
#1 Sandlot - Ham Porter: You're killing me Smalls!
#16 Zoolander - Derek Zoolander: [high-pitched cough] ... I think I'm getting the Black Lung, Pop. It's not very well ventilated down there.
No doubt here. Ham Porter is a monster.
------------------------------
#8 Office Space - Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars? Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man. Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time? Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money. Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks. Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
#9 My Cousin Vinny - Vinny Gambini: Uh... everything that guy just said is bullshit... Thank you. D.A. Jim Trotter: Objection. Counsel's entire opening statement is argumentative. Judge Chamberlain Haller: Sustained. Counselor's entire opening statement... with the exception of "thank you"... will be stricken from the record.
A pretty unreal match-up here. Two classic movie. Two classic lines.
------------------------------
#4 The Shawshank Redemption - Andy Dufresne: Get busy living, or get busy dying.
#13 Top Gun - Maverick: I feel the need... Maverick, Goose: ...the need for speed!
Oh Top Gun. So corny, yet still so awesome.
------------------------------
#5 Old School - Frank: I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time. College Student: A big day? Doing what? Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.
#12 Space Balls - Dark Helmet: What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz? CHICKEN?
We're going streaking!!!
------------------------------
#3 Tommy Boy - Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated? Richard Hayden: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right. Tommy: You know a lot of people go to college for seven years. Richard Hayden: I know, they're called doctors.
#14 Snatch - Brick Top: You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. Sol: Would someone mind telling me, who are you? Brick Top: And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".
A surprising lack of one-liners puts Snatch in the 14-spot. A tough draw, since Tommy Boy might be the greatest film of our generation.
------------------------------
#6 Blazing Saddles - Jim: Oh, boys! Lookee what I got herrre! Bart: Hey, where the white women at?!
#11 Harold and Kumar - Burger Shack Employee: Ding-dong! May I interject for a second? As a Burger Shack employee for the past three years, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that if you're craving White Castle, the burgers here just don't cut it. In fact, just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... just makes me want to burn this motherfucker down. Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherfucker down! Come on, Pookie! Let's burn it, Pookie! Let's burn this motherfucker down! Let's burn it down! Let's burn it! ……So you guys maybe should just suck it up and go to White Castle.
It was pretty tough to narrow both of these movies down. Good luck actually making the choice.
------------------------------
#7 The Godfather - [Tessio brings in Luca Brasi's bulletproof vest, delivered with a fish inside] Sonny: What the hell is this? Clemenza: It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.
#10 Talladega Nights - Chip: I can't hold my tongue. These kids are my grandchildren and you are raising them wrong. They are *terrible* boys! Walker: Shut up, Chip, or I'll go ape-shit on your ass! Texas Ranger: I'm gonna scissor-kick you in the back of the head! Cal Naughton, Jr.: Yeah! Ricky Bobby: Yeah! Now turn up the heat! Cal Naughton, Jr.: Go on and get some, boys! Ricky Bobby: Come on! Walker: I'm ten years old, but I'll beat your ass! Texas Ranger: Chip, I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey! Cal Naughton, Jr.: Like a spider monkey! Go on! Ricky Bobby: Chip, you brought this on, man. Walker: Greatest Generation my ass. Tom Brokaw's a punk! Chip: What is wrong with you? Texas Ranger: Chip, I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew!
Talladega Nights vs. The Godfather. Not something we ever expected to write when we started this blog three years ago.
------------------------------
#2 Animal House - D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one. Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Otter: Germans? Boon: Forget it, he's rolling. Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... [thinks hard] Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns] Bluto: What the f*ck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer... Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part. Bluto: We're just the guys to do it. D-Day: Let's do it. Bluto: *Let’s do it*!
#15 Swingers - Trent: You're so money and you don't even know it!
Second greatest inspirational speech in history.
------------------------------
Good luck to all participants.
