Look kids, a new feature!

I think I'm gonna start a weekly feature here (if I can get through more than one week that is), asking a question of my audience.

This week's; what movie would you say you quote the most?

For me, I'd probably say "Ghostbusters," but depending on the situation, it could be anything. Someone just reminded me that I quote "The Princess Bride" a whole lot too, which is also true. I also drop "Anchorman" quotes like they're hot, so that's fun. I can totally see me quoting "Tropic Thunder" if it's as good as it looks. Also "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" get a lot of play, if only because people keep setting me up (I swear, if I hear one more person go "It was a no win scenario" or "I don't like to lose" I'ma snap and start reciting "The Wrath of Khan" from beginning to end). But I have to give it to "Ghostbusters" because it works for everything, and my dad keeps yelling at me and Joe at like 2 or 3 in the morning for quoting Venkman (the she's not my girlfriend exchange).

Anyway, this question also lead to the following comment from my friend Brian, "you're like bumblebee in Transformers, you cant actually speak, just use already said lines."

I hate to admit it, but he's kind of right. I do have an appropriate (or inappropriate) quote ready to go at a moment's notice.

Winston: Hey, wait a minute. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?
Egon: Sumerian, not Babylonian.
Peter: Yeah. Big difference.
Winston: No offense, guys, but I've gotta get my own lawyer.
"Ghostbusters," obviously
