It's been nearly two decades since Reality Bites came out, yet the movie about college graduates grappling with the challenges of real life remains as relevant as ever. It is, after all, the movie that got us all hooked on Ethan Hawke. I put together some of my favorite lines from the film, but which quotes are you still citing?
Why should boys have all the fun? In 2002, Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate proved that girls can do raunchy comedy too when they starred in The Sweetest Thing. We're still quoting the funny lines from Christina and Courtney's adventures, from their girls' night out to their road trip gone awry. I've listed some of my favorite lines below, so check them out and add yours, too!
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World flew a little under the radar when it was released in 2010, but for my money, it remains one of the most original and entertaining flicks. Michael Cera plays the melancholy Scott, and the film is peppered with some of my favorite faces: Kieran Culkin, Aubrey Plaza, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jason Schwartzman, Chris Evans, and Mae Whitman. Check out some of my favorite quotes, and tell me yours!
Dave Chappelle and Jim Breuer star as buffoonish stoners in the classic — to us, at least — 1998 comedy Half Baked. While trying to get their friend out of jail, the two come up with a variety of schemes, but ultimately they're a little too distracted to get much done. I've listed some of my favorite lines below, but what are yours?
Parks and Recreation has been nailing it in the comedy department lately, but the show, currently in its fifth season, has been one of my favorites since the beginning. Leslie, Tom, Ron, Chris, and the whole crew have been supplying hilarious one-liners ripe for the quoting for years. My most memorable ones are below — what are yours?
Sally Field is set to return to the Oscars this year after garnering a nod for Lincoln, but years before, she was in a beloved little tearjerker known as Steel Magnolias. The classic about modern Southern belles, also starring Julia Roberts as her daughter, still has us quoting it 24 years after its release. We've listed some of our favorite lines below; what are yours?
With love in the air as Valentine's Day approaches, I'm celebrating one of my all-time favorite romantic comedies: Sleepless in Seattle. Often-paired onscreen couple Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks play Sam and Annie, who are brought together by fate — and Sam's meddling son — at the top of the Empire State building. It's a tear-inducing finish inspired by another classic, An Affair to Remember. I've listed some of my favorite lines below, what are yours?
Sally Field may be up for an Oscar for Lincoln this year, but once upon a time, she was in one of my all-time favorite movies, the less critically lauded — but just as celebrated — Mrs. Doubtfire. To this day, no one pulls off English nanny quite like Robin Williams, not even real English nannies. I've listed some of my favorite lines below, what are yours?
Before the mighty Thor teamed up with The Avengers, and before Jonah Hill ever read a script for The Sitter, there was 1987's Adventures in Babysitting. Elisabeth Shue is the babysitter strapped with three kids and a whole lot of issues in the classic one-crazy-night tale. I've listed my all-time favorite lines from the film below, but what are yours?
New BBC adventure series Wild Things With Dominic Monaghan premieres this week, and though we appreciate the Lost star exploring new territories, Monaghan will always be Charlie to me. His reemergence on TV reminded me that Lost — especially the first couple seasons — has such a brilliant combination of action, mystery, romance, and memorably dramatic one-liners. These are just a few of my personal favorites, but what are yours?
