Real Genius, et al.

One of my favorite movies ever . . . don't know why I was thinking about it. I love the ones you have to watch over and over again to get all the jokes!

Chris Knight: Have you ever seen a body like this before in your life?
David Decker: She happens to be my daughter.
Chris Knight: Oh. Then I guess you have.

Mitch: The weirdest thing just happened to me.
Chris Knight: Was it a dream where you were where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid, with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
Mitch: No...
Chris Knight: Why am I the only one who has that dream?

Tombstone is another favorite -- though it's obviously not in the same slapstick vein that Real Genius is, that had some of the best lines ever. Good picks by Val Kilmer!

Johnny Ringo: [Ringo steps up to Doc] And you must be Doc Holliday.
Doc Holliday: That's the rumor.
Johnny Ringo: You retired too?
Doc Holliday: Not me. I'm in my prime.
Johnny Ringo: Yeah, you look it.
Doc Holliday: And you must be Ringo. Look, darling, Johnny Ringo. The deadliest pistoleer since Wild Bill, they say. What do you think, darling? Should I hate him?
Kate: You don't even know him.
Doc Holliday: Yes, but there's just something about him. Something around the eyes, I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him.

Doc Holliday: [after killing Johnny Ringo] It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear.

Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Nobody move!
Doc Holliday: Nonsense. By all means, move.

Of course, you have to have seen the movies to understand why they're so funny, but seeing the dialogue is enough to make me laugh. Another of my all-time favorites is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Ooh! And The Ref with Denis Leary. Man, I need to check my dvds and see which ones I still need to get!

Ed Rooney: I did not achieve this position in life by having some snot-nosed punk leave my cheese out in the wind.

Boy in Police Station: Drugs?
Jeannie: Thank you, no. I'm straight.
Boy in Police Station: I meant, are you in here for drugs?
Jeannie: Why are you here?
Boy in Police Station: Drugs.

Ferris: Pardon my French, but Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond.

Ahh, The Ref -- my favorite Christmas movie. There must be something wrong with me!

Rose: You're a "Wong"?
Gus: Well, my mother was Irish.
Rose: And your father?
Gus: Wasn't.

Lloyd: You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas, Mom? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it.

Caroline: He sounded upset.
Gus: He should be. He's going to die a horrible fucking death.

Caroline: I had this dream...
Lloyd: Do we have to do dreams?
Caroline: I'm in this restaurant, and the waiter brings me my entree. It was a salad. It was Lloyd's head on a plate of spinach with his penis sticking out of his ear. And I said, "I didn't order this." And the waiter said, "Oh you must try it, it's a delicacy. But don't eat the penis, it's just garnish."
Dr. Wong: Lloyd, what do you think about the dream?
Lloyd: I think she should stop telling it at dinner parties to all our friends.

Okay, I think it's out of my system for now. Funny movies. I do love them. www.imdb.com rocks!
