Thirty-plus replies, and only ONE mention of The Big Lebowski. It's a crime, I tell you.
And Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. And The Life of Brian. The opening song from that one is enough to send beer cascading out of my nasal orifices.
I love that Three Amigos quote, too. However, I feel that Lebowski is the most quotable movie in the history of cinema. My personal favorite from that one is:
"Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling... And as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince."
And...
"This is not 'Nam, this is bowling, Smokey. There are rules."
And...
"Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, but at least it's an ethos!"
There are many, many more. Sadly, most would not be appropriate for this board. Nevertheless, I feel that this film is the pinnacle of snappy writing in cinema. The Coens managed to make a dialogue-driven film where the action is completely secondary to the plot. It's magnificent.
"I just need to find an ATM..."
