> [@Fish](#): > > If you have not watched _Galaxy Quest_, then I recommend it. It’s a satirical take on the _Star Trek_ phenomenon that is warm, witty, and (in my opinion) fall-down funny. The basic plot, without spoilers: +1, many quotes in this thread are from that movie Tony Shaloub was awesome ‘I’ll get one of my boys to come up with a can of WD-40.’ ---

For some reason, one line from Howard the Duck stuck with the kids and me, long after we’d seen the movie: “I no longer require human food”. This is used when someone is pretending to be so angry that they’re morphing into some monster. ---

Sometimes, the simple classics just work the best. This morning, another mom offered my sugar for my coffee, and of course, I answered… “No thanks- I take it black, like my men.” She cracked right the hell up, especially since she’s black and I’m pasty. ---

Mentioned elsewhere, but I don’t think in this thread yet (apologies if it has and I missed it). From _The Family Guy_: “Dad, what’s the blow-hole for?” “I’ll tell you what it’s not for, son. And when I do, you’ll understand why I can never go back to Sea World.” ---

In Bruges is the most recent quotable movie I’ve seen. Here are a few that make me giggle. **"You can’t sell horse tranquilizers to a midget!"** [White midget who has been drinking], **"Do you have any idea how much shit I’ve had to take from Black midgets?"** **"Stop crying you big, dumb, gay baby!"** ---
