Pop Culture Friday

This week's paraphrased pop culture question on The Onion AV Club blog is:

What movie do you keep quoting lines from even if no one gets the reference but you?

Hands down, no contest, for me it's Repo Man.

It's chock full of great quotable lines like:

"John Wayne was a fag."

********

"Have a nice day."
"Day, night, it don't mean shit."

********

"Someone says plate, then someone says shrimp...then someone says plate of shrimp."

********

"Credit is a scared trust. You think they got credit in Russia?"

********

"Feeling 7-Up, I'm feeling 7-Up."


********

"Let's go get sushi and not pay."

********


"You read that book I gave you?"
********

I used to quote lines from Pulp Fiction but after it became the approved hipster thing to do, I quit it. Although sometimes I'll let a "Bacon tastes guud. Pork Chops taste guud," slip from my tounge. And "Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead."

********

Stripes and Caddyshack are also a couple of my go to movies to quote from. "Chicks dig me because I rarely wear underwear," is nothing short of classic. One of the proudest moments of my pop culture life came to me on an overcast day on the golf course a few years ago. I was playing with an older dude who I am sure had never seen Caddyshack and when it started to sprinkle he said, "I guess I better go on in." I looked at him and I said that memorable line first uttered by Bil Murray as Groundskeeper Carl, "Oh, I'd keep playin', the heavy stuff isn't gonna come down till later." He looked at me like I was an idiot and he went in out of the rain. As I finished playing the front nine by myself, I could not help but chuckle at my quotings.

Now, what are your go to movies for quotes?
