    Better Off Dead (1985)

    Classic. So many quotes.

    "Lane, I have been in this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."

    "Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn."

    "This mountain is pure snow. Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?"

    "I have to go. My brother is making this monster egg nog with lighter fluid."

    "Gee Ricky...I'm sorry your Mom blew up."

    "I want my two dollars."

    :D :D

    the Police Academy series.

    I've said this before and I'll say it again. I don't understand the fascination with Ferris Bueller's Day Off. That movie is probably the crappiest and most overrated movie of all time. Followed by The Breakfast Club.
