Most Quotable Movie Comedies

Yup. Fletch for sure.

 

Top 5 are for sure the Top 5 (quibble if you will about their order).

Young Frankenstein needs to be on here and I have to give love to the Office Space suggestion. I would probably drop 16 Candles and Say Anything for those two.

 

My Top 10. In order. Without looking at the list.

10. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
9. The Breakfast Club
8. Police Academy
7. Office Space
6. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
5. Fletch
4. Major League
3. Blazing Saddles
2. Caddyshack
1. Airplane

 

Clerks, Caddyshack, Slapshot, Blazing Saddles, Stripes...

I will add to the list....

Blues Brothers
Snatch

 

We quote Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball, Old School and Zoolander in the office all the time.

 

Unless I missed it, I'm shocked that the original "Vacation" isn't on there. That's one the family and I consistently quote. And the wife and I do the same with "Sixteen Candles".

On Trading Places, they picked the wrong soliloquy:

Think big, think positive.
Never show any sign of weakness
Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high.
Fear, that's the other guy's problem.
Nothing can prepare you for the unbridled
carnage you are about to witness
The Super Bowl, the World Series.
Pressure? Here it's kill or be killed.
Make no friends and take no prisoners.
One minute you're up half a million,
the next, boom.
Your kids don't go to college
and you've lost your Bentley.

We've got to kill the motherfucker...

 

Fast Times and Fletch would be my No. 1 and No. 2.

 

It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

 

"Hanrahan, your wife sucks pussy."

"Call Detroit right fucking now. Tell them bullshit."

"They brought their toys, they brought their fucking toys."

 

That's a lot like what my list would look like. Airplane is the winner in a landslide for me.

 

Going old school, my officemates and I used to always quote Robert Townsend's "Hollywood Shuffle."

"There's always work at the post office."

 

Cross him off then.
You may run like Hayes, but you hit like shit.
Jesus, he is good man. But he no help with curve ball.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did.
She was going to make..a pot for me.
Do you mind if we dance with your dates?
