Best Of A podcast about the best of everything From the mundane to the ridiculous. Just three buddies sitting around the car table talking about things that absolutely matter to no one.

So we're picking up on another best of today. We enjoy these. It creates some good banter and some good conversation.

Today we're going to address the best of quotable movies and I know that across the generations, the three of us have here Mark and as many more years than us can talk about a lot of 92 going strong, a lot of quotable movies and, uh, I know that, uh, you know, I know our kids have all uh quoted movies to us. My son did just today. So, um, mark, why don't you start us off? What's a good, uh quotable movie?

Oh the talkies yes, as opposed to those silent movies you used to watch.
Speaker 1:
Man, there are so many, and I'm an auditory learner, always have been so. If I hear something, I generally can remember it. It's always been my learning style so I, like I've always loved to quote movies and, um, some of the first ones that I can remember, uh, watching as a uh, you know, as a kid, or some of the first ones that I I like to quote, so I would uh probably throw out there. Animal house is, uh one of the ones that I I saw I love that movie when I was way too young.

Speaker 1:
Been a pre-maiden, almost killed 20 law officers, got a girl in a car, took a cross state line. That's the man act and I don't think he's got permission. So that's kidnapping. What about when he kicks the guys? Who are hijacking the car on the side of the road and he kicks the guy and he goes. That's an attention getter. Jackie Gleason was just amazing. You notice every quote we just did was Jackie Gleason. We didn't give hardly any Burt Reynolds or Salad. Yeah, you're right, you know the things I always come up with is.
Speaker 2:
I'm going to go stuff some groceries down my neck. I'm going to go to some groceries down my neck. Yeah, I'm going to go to the choke and puke. Yeah, yeah, you know that movie is just so good, except for about two minutes, the worst two minutes of the movie I know. They had to have it. They shouldn't have done it. Yeah, it was terrible, and they had to play the slow song. Call him the bandit, you. You want to take your hat?
Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:
Alright, what's your next one? Oh man, you know If you're struggling with one. I got one. You know what I have to go to the movie Tombstone, and it's the first non-comedy that we've mentioned, but eminently quotable.
Speaker 2:
I'm your huckleberry. Yep, why, johnny ringo? You look like someone just walked over your grave kilmer's best movie. Yeah, yes, I think so too.
Speaker 1:
I mean, I think his performance as jim morrison and the doors was unbelievable. But overall tombstone, yeah gotta be. I like this. Uh, did you ever see the doors, by the way, with him? He is well but you jim seemed a story behind that he lived and basically he sang the song.
Speaker 2:
He did everything for like six months prior. Yeah, it was so immersed in it. Um, you smell that smell like somebody died.
Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:
I'm going back to comedies, though, and I've got to say Caddyshack. Oh yeah, they're just Rodney Dangerfield Again, just like Sheriff Justice and Jackie Gleason. Rodney Dangerfield as Al Chervik in Caddyshack is one of the greatest characters of all time. You know, hey Wang, what's with the pictures? It's a parking lot, you know.

Speaker 1:
Oh, that's hockey ice, I'm sorry, okay.
Speaker 2:
I didn't realize what I was looking at there. I thought it was curling for a minute.
Speaker 1:
That's Craig Berube, the former head coach of the St Louis Blues. I was getting ready to say that.

The last thing we need is a little loose talk about her.
Speaker 1:
I want a hamburger, no a cheeseburger I want a hot dog. You'll get nothing and like it.
Speaker 2:
One of the funniest scenes, and that's when they're betting on whether he's going to pick his nose and eat it here. I like this one. It's okay, it's baby Ruth.
Speaker 1:
Those are all good. El Hugh, would you come and loofah my stretch marks? Oh, here's one. This is a good one. Hey, that's a peach, huh. Oh, dolly, I'm hot today. That couple's like 180 playing golf Hits it like 12 feet. You're not a man, you're a bishop. For God's sakes. There's so many good lines in that.
Speaker 2:
I mean I could go all day and the one that we haven't talked about is during the, when the bishop's playing golf and he's like I don't think the heavy stuff's coming down from the dirt I keep playing.
Speaker 1:
That's exactly right. I use that one a lot. I keep playing. Yeah, that's eminently quotable. You got one, I do.
Speaker 2:
All right. I caught you a delicious bass, greg's, out there. Hey, you got another one. Do you know any sick nunchuck skills? How about? I'm trying to become a cage fighter. What movie is this? How about do the chickens have large talons? Napoleon?
