Is there a line from a movie that really resonated with you but when you say it most people don't get the reference?

Mine is from an early 2000s film called Vanilla Sky.

“The sweet is never as sweet without the sour.”

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”

Jean-Luc Picard

“A lie of omission is still a lie!!”

Jean Luc Picard berating Wesley and also me, angry at my cats when I ask them if they knocked over the bag of treats and ate all the treats, and they refuse to answer me

There. Are. FOUR LIGHTS!! Also Jean Luc. Anytime I’m telling my SO there are 4 of something. This is probably why we can’t keep friends.

“The line must be drawn here. This far, no farther!”

Also Jean-Luc Picard

And I will make them pay for what they’ve done.

There’s so many good moments in that movie. It is my favorite trek movie.

And also more importantly Quark.

Reminds me of

“Nothing everything is a lesson. Sometimes you just fail.” ~ Dwight Schrute, The Office

Lieutenant Worf : [referring to Admiral Satie] I believed her. I, I helped her. I did not see what she was.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Mister Worf, villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.

Lieutenant Worf : I think… after yesterday, people will not be so ready to trust her.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Maybe. But she, or someone like her, will always be with us, waiting for the right climate in which to flourish, spreading fear in the name of righteousness. Vigilance, Mister Worf - that is the price we have to continually pay.

Picard is a real quote machine. The one closest to my heart is:

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There’s no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.

Wesley Crusher : But William James won’t be on my Starfleet exams.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.

Wesley Crusher : And Starfleet Academy…

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.

I get the best eye-rolls followed by smiles from my wife when I say: “you choo-choo choose me?”

No, just endless Simpsons references that fall on deaf ears.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is…never try.

Oh, don’t worry. Their idea of wit is nothing more than an incisive observation humorously phrased and delivered with impeccable timing.

You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel.

punch to stomach

That’s for trying to take credit for other people’s work!

Ha ha!

Me to a Chinese teacher called Nick: ‘Hello everybody! Hi Doctor Nick!’

*Confused face

I’m good for like the first 10 seasons, which are the best 10 seasons. I grew up on it and rewatched a lot of them as an adult. It’s funnier as an adult.

Yeah seasons 3 through 8 were the Conan O’Brien years. That’s the golden era.

But there are excellent episodes outside of that. I personally think “SE12 EP18 - Trilogy of Errors” is a top 5 episode. It’s the one where marge cuts off homer’s thumb, Milhouse finds fireworks in a cave and Lisa builds a ~~party~~ grammar robot. I haven’t seen enough of seasons beyond like 20 or so to comment on them, but Ive heard they’ve actually been hitting a solid stride since the pandemic.

I am the lizard Queen!

Aw Lisa, honey, just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t understand!

I have three kids and no money, why can’t I have no kids an three money!

The all ighty …ollar?

Oh hahaha I get it!

You’re failing, Seymour! What’s with you and failing?!

He’s not just some guy, marge, he’s a carny. And part of a noble tradition. Carnys built this country!

… The carnival part of it anyway.

I get the best eye-rolls followed by smiles from my wife when I say: “you choo-choo choose me?”

You tried your best and you failed miserably! The lesson is: never try.

I’m here for them. 😉

I bring you love 👽

It’s bringing love, don’t let it get away!! Break its legs!!

BUT WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL BART? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL??

The goggles, the do nothing!

Aziz light!

(Fifth Element)

I use this one a lot. Also, I’ve been known to say “mool-tee-pass” when handing over my ID.

What a banger of a movie

Even as late as last year, I walked into a dark room, half shouted “Aziz!” and someone turned on a light.

He later claimed to have never heard of the movie.

Another quote I love to use is, “Cheeken good.”

What a banger of a movie

One of my all-time favorites. Whenever I have to point to something on a map, I always say “Dot!” with a Leeloo accent… no one gets it.

What a banger of a movie

So, it’s a banger then?

Such a banger of a movie.

Flame thrower - my favorite

“Kick his ass, Sea Bass!”

What’s the soup de jour?

It’s the soup of the day

Mmm sounds good. I’ll have that.

ITT, people giving quotes but not saying from what movie

They asked for the quote, not the movie. :-D

Which movie is this from?

It’s fun to try to guess!

I do believe that would be the point.
