Movie Quotes From The 80's Novels & Stories

Cody “Anyone fancy going out?” I ask the guys who look happy enough sitting in front of the television. We’ve moved on to the next movie, Die Hard 2 made in 1990 and it’s so surreal to think that Bruce Willis was making movies before I was even born. The man is an absolute legend, alongside Keanu Reeves, he is a super hero in my book.

“Bloodsport, Cyborg, Kickboxer, Universal Soldier? Any of those ring a bell?” “Um, no… why should they?” “Oh honey, your Hollywood education is severely lacking. Don’t worry babe. I’ll make a point to educate you on 80s and 90s martial arts celebrities and their movies later on.” Really? This is what he was talking about? “Ooo, we can make it a movie marathon day.” He continues, getting excited now. Bruno and Maddox are thrilled about the prospect of movie day, and I just roll my eyes. Men are just big boys. Goddess help me. I need more females in my life.

I could not believe how comfortable I felt in his presence, how harmonious our interaction was. The movie began and as we promised ourselves, each of us was quoting with the characters sometimes pausing to burst into laughter when one of us mispronounced it or overacted the line. By the time the movie was over, I glanced at Alex with a grin as though I had won. “Well, I think that the identity of the winner could not be more obvious.” Uncrossing his arms, Alex raised an eyebrow at me, a smirk dancing on his lips. "Oh really? Because I distinctly remember you flubbing the line about the Cliffs of Insanity."

"Are you seriously quoting Monty Python to me, you geek?" His soft chuckle eased some of her tension. "Come on, you gotta admit, it works in this occasion. Or would you have preferred something more modern classic like 'Excellent.'" He doped up his voice, and Naomi bit her lips so as to not give in to hysterical laughter as he mimicked the idiot from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

“You are starting to sound like Hunji more and more every day.” “And that’s a bad thing? Why?” I asked. “I didn’t say that, it’s just funny. You know, like ‘the student becomes the master’ kinda thing.” I rolled my eyes. He was always quoting movies, and he especially liked to quote fighting movies to me at any chance he got. That was one thing I was grateful for that had survived the extinction of humans, movies, and music. We walked back over to the benches where Kira was now sitting with Mike and Kellen.

“I don’t need a shoe to fit, baby. I just need you on my lap when the credits roll.” That makes her blush—just enough. She bites her bottom lip like she’s trying not to smile. We’re standing in front of the bargain DVD rack now, flipping through titles like they’re sacred scripture. “Okay,” she says, holding one up. “Speed. Classic Keanu. Explosions. Heroic bus scenes.” “You just want to hear him say ‘Pop quiz, hotshot,’ again.” She shrugs. “Don’t we all?” I pull out another. “Mad Max: Fury Road. That’s got chaos, fire, and a bunch of leather-daddy desert weirdos.”

Comedies fuel his sense of humor. I remember him forcing me to watch FRIENDS, BROOKLYN NINE NINE and BIG BANG THEORY on N*****x — and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER too — but I told him it wasn’t really my cup of tea, so he gave up. I wasn’t able to talk much about the movie during the whole movie night session. There were some puns I didn’t get, but Jackson and Nelson always ended up cracking. I felt kinda left out but it was expected.

["Well... Host, I thought that since we were in a mafia world, I should watch some movies about it. Also, Tony Montana was iconic in the movie 'Scarface'." Akira:…..? "What...did you also watch Harry Potter then?" ["Yup, I watched the entire series while your man and you were engrossed in fucking."] "I see…. now then... how about you stop using movie quotes? Please?" "But host, that's how I pass time, also have you ever watched 'Scarface'?" ["Yes, I watched it. We were supposed to do a project on an iconic movie and what made it iconic in my media class in high school."]

“But before you, it was moss green—like the hills back home.” “Mine’s blue too,” I admitted. “Fitting, right?” We toasted our matching favorites with playful head nods. “Favorite movies?” he countered. “Almost Famous,” I said, smiling at the thought of van life soundtracks. “The Big Lebowski,” he answered without skipping a beat—“That white Russian scene gets me every time.”

Another strand of hair fell across her upturned button nose and this time Diana slipped it behind her ear for her. “Everything will be okay,” Diana said. “Please, don’t think about it. I know that’s easier said than done. But just empty your head. Let it all just disappear. Look out the window and watch things go by. Think about those things. I’m here, Jules. Think about the movie, okay? Clueless will rock. We love funny stuff, right? Do you remember when we saw Mrs. Doubtfire? That movie was hilarious. Oh, what was that line? Ah . . . ‘Layla, get back in your cage! Don’t make me get the hose!’” Julia couldn’t help it. She giggled.
