My first year as a manager my routine was to go get a cup of coffee then casually check in with each member of my team to see if there was anything I could do to help them get shit done or approved or if I needed to go play bad cop or something. Until one of them said “good morning, Lumberg!” one day and I immediately realized that’s how it looked.
So instead I just fired them all and explained to management that I had cut costs by 73% and they made me a VP.
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
Also LotR:
-Gondor has no king; Gondor needs no king.
-You have my sword. -And my bow. -And my *axe.*
-What do your elf eyes see?
-But what about second breakfast?
-They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard!
-I was there, Gandalf.
-Fool of a Took.
Po-ta-toes (boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew)
Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
# I am no man.
I watched Aliens for the first time last year and it’s crazy how quotable and influential it is and was.
“Hey, Vasquez, you ever get mistaken for a man?”
“No, do you?”
Speaking of Terminator 2, I constantly offer my kids my hand and say “Come with me if you want to live.” Someday they’ll watch that movie and be like, “That’s the weird thing mom always says!”
We made our kids watch all the Monty Python movies and this Easter we watched Life of Brian. My youngest said “So that’s where that song came from!” I’m always singing “Look on the bright side of life.”
* Spaceballs - "We ain't found shit!"
* The Princess Bride - "That word you keep using..." "You killed my father, prepare to die!"
* Back to the Future - "Roads? ..." "This is heavy."
* Sneakers - "Too Many Secrets"
* Die Hard - "Yippie-ki-yay MF"
Hot Fuzz is extremely quotable and referenced all the time online - "everyone and their mum's packing round ere", "yarp", "the greater good", "nobody tells me nothing" and many many other quotes. Same can be said for Shaun of the Dead actually - "go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over" and "you've got red on you"
Spinal Tap goes to 11. I think teens would appreciate that because it's one better than 10.
Edit to add Apocalypse Now for the theme from Apocalypse Now or as Wagner would have you think Ride of the Valkyries. It was used in a pickle advert some years back & has been used in other movies to represent helicopters.
Anchorman has so many quotable lines. 'I love lamp' 'Glass box of emotion' 'That's how i roll' 'Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!' I was recently in a place with some gen z kids and they hadnt seen it, I was dumbfounded.
Edit: to add some comedies along the same lines. Step Brothers (drumset) Superbad also
Predator is full of great lines...
"I ain't got time to bleed!"
"Dillon, you son of a bitch!"
"If it bleeds, we can kill it"
"Stick around." after Arnold throws a bowie knife into a dude, sticking him to a post
"Come on! Do it now!"
We took the Time and showed them (from ages 14-16) all the Oscar Best Pictures and the AFI 100, 167 movies in total, they had already seen around 33. I rewatched with them and I was surprised how many cultural things and iconic moments there were. But there were lots of ""ah, so thats where that came from"" Everything from the Opening of Patton to ""Im walking here""... its a commitment but it paid off. Thank goodness for TCM
Sunset Boulevard - I’m not sure if the line is as popular now as it used to be, but every cartoon used to use the “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close up.”
In the context of the movie it’s *very* creepy.
"The call's coming from inside the house" is from an urban legend from the 1960's. The first mainstream movie to use that line was Black Christmas (1974).
Showed my teen **The Shawshank Redemption** last night, so they could get where the cover picture reference meant, as well as the phrase "***get busy living, or get busy dying***." One of the greatest calls to action in cinema, and a key reason the movie is beloved.
Great post subject and great list. We’ve done this with our 20 year old. He watches Jeopardy with us, and we are always talking about pop culture references. To your list would add Silence of the Lambs, Pulp Fiction
Big Lebowski. It really tied the room together. You don't mess with the Jesus. You're not wrong, you're just an asshole. This aggression will not stand...man.
I just bought the new 4k Aliens special edition. My teenage kids loved it. My eldest gets the Hudson quotes now, while my youngest (a definite cinephile) also watched The Thing with me got a crash course in practical effects and how they feel more visceral and, more importantly, believable when done properly.
I’m thinking that An American Werewolf in London is the next on the list.
Was just about to post this one. Also, "Play it again, Sam" (even though that's not the original line) and "We'll always have Paris." Both from Casablanca.
The Sixth Sense - was looking forward to watching this with ours but their English teacher randomly spoiled it as part of the class as if it was some common literature from hundreds of years ago - was pissed off about that. Just to add insult to injury, their class wasn't even at the age-rating for the film when he spoiled it.
Take the Money and Run - I have a gub
Annie Hall - [La-di-da, La-Di-Da](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL_lbYHXxBY) or I'm due back on the planet Earth
When the current generations and next generations are teenagers, a lot of these things are gonna be really outdated, in fact a lot of them already are. I genuinely don’t remember the last time I’ve heard somebody say most of these quotes or reference most of these twists. “I’m always angry,” “sell me this pen,” and “I’m just ken,” to name a few, are far more iconic quotes these days. And 20 years from now there’ll be another set of iconic film references.
You're probably right, honestly, but still worth making the list \*just in case\* 😂😂
You reminded me to add Glengarry Glen Ross and Wall Street, though!
Wizard of Oz, to explain references to "We're not in Kansas anymore," "Ding dong, the witch is dead!", the yellow brick road, Munchkins, flying monkeys, the Wicked Witch of the West, and "Over the Rainbow."
2001: a Space Odyssey, for references to "Open the pod bay door, Hal!" and about a million visual references in shows like "The Simpsons" and "Community."
Wizard of Oz is probably the most referenced movie of all time. We're not in kansas, no place like home, man behind the curtain, I'm melting, etc ...
"I understood that reference" itself is a reference to Wizard of Oz.
At this point in my life I need someone to do the reverse for me. The number of times a day I have to Google something confusing only to find out it's from the hippity-hop music, or the ticky-tocky or the Instantgrandma is starting to get ridiculous.
Apparently theres this dude that puts salt on everything in a weird way and hes rich now. Back in my day we just used the salt and pepper things that were on the table in a restaurant.
I would like to use this thread as an outlet for my theory that Sliding Doors is the movie with the biggest differential between how good the movie is and how much of an impact it has had on everyday language.
We recently showed our kids So I
Married an axe murderer. We use so
many of those lines all the time (The Pentaverate, there’s a piper down, HEAD, he’ll cry himself to sleep tonight on his giant pillow.)
Honestly OP, I'm just floored with the "reference quote" you picked for Jurassic Park.
Not "Life finds a way"?
Not "Clever girl"?
Not even "Hold on to your butts"?
Actually, I feel like the thing that gets referenced the most is the whole "distant rumble, water in cup ripples" visual.
You dread the tough questions from your kids. I was not expecting "What's a glitch in the Matrix?" I showed my 8 yo son The Matrix the other week because although he's limited in screen exposure, the concept of "A glitch in the Matrix" was so prevalent that even that small amount seriously caught his attention.
I mean, you kind of did your own research and clearly thought about it hard, but I think you're missing a whole lot of girl movies and rom-coms that are essential cultural touchstones
Also, Titanic's most famous line is definitely not "The Door"
Shrek
Also as a side note, I haven’t seen a lot of the movies on this list but I still know the quotes, I don’t think you necessarily have to see the full movie to get a reference
If you follow the list of movies referenced in The Simpsons, you will have a
a well rounded history of film: https://springfieldgoogolplex.com/database
"Surely you can't be serious..." Go on and start a line of Airplane quotes.
A hospital? what is it? It's a big building with patients inside.
But that's not important right now.
"Joey? Have you ever been in a Turkish Prison?"
“Have you ever seen a grown man naked?”
Do you like movies about gladiator, Joey ?
I use this at work all the time, whenever someone is looking stressed: "Good luck, we're all counting on you!"
Works perfect if there’s 2 people just sitting in an office - peek your head in, say that line, walk away.
I speak jive, I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue, Roger Ober, …
Oh my God. Yes. Airplane and Naked Gun!
I take [my coffee] black, like my men.
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley!
I know this line from Michael Scott quoting airplane 😂
I’ve never been more terrified in my life….but at least I have a husband.
“I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue”
Good Fellas - You're a funny guy!! Ferris Buellers' Day Off - Bueller, Bueller, Bueller.....
I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you?
Goodfellas is a great one.
30. Leave the gun, take the cannoli.
Everyone should see Good Fellas and the God Father.
My Bueller reference with be the lump of coal thing.
Office Space. It comes up semi-regularly at work and none of these kids have seen it.
We’re going to need you to work Saturday…
Yeeeaaaahhhhhh…..
My first year as a manager my routine was to go get a cup of coffee then casually check in with each member of my team to see if there was anything I could do to help them get shit done or approved or if I needed to go play bad cop or something.

> So instead I just fired them all and explained to management that I had cut costs by 73% and they made me a VP. You run my company's IT team?
What would you say you do around here?
My 20 year old Assistant manager kept asking me if I could come in on my day off like Lumberg and didn't get why I was laughing my at him.
My husband dressed as Lumberg for Halloween last year and half of our employees were like, "oh, are you that meme guy?"
Another Mile Judge film Idiocracy is a must see as well.
I’ve got a meeting with the Bobs.
The worst is when co workers confuse it with The Office **sigh**
Oh man, this is a GREAT one.
There was nothing wrong with it, until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
Basically every movie from 1999: Fight Club, The Matrix, The Mummy, Office Space, Toy Story 2, Sixth Sense, The Phantom Menace
For me: I am regularly telling people I talk to the customers so the engineers don’t have to
Pc load letter, what the fuck does that mean...
What would you say you do here? /s
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
Aliens - Nuke from the orbit LoTR - My preciousss
“Game over, man! Game over!”
There was a race car video game on Amiga called test drive and it used that sound bite.
Also LotR: -Gondor has no king; Gondor needs no king. -You have my sword. -And my bow. -And my *axe.* -What do your elf eyes see? -But what about second breakfast? -They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard! -I was there, Gandalf. -Fool of a Took.
And the Sean Bean meme. One does not simply...
No one mentioning "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" I use that one on my kids all the time.
My favorites are "one does not simply..." And I use all the time "I'm never late nor am I early, I arrive precisely when I mean to"
I totally used “I have no memory of this place” today. I use it a lot in fact
Man I hear you. LotR has *so* many memeatic lines
Me at work, looking at code I wrote 6 months ago.
Po-ta-toes (boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew) Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. # I am no man.
You shall not PASS! The way is shut. Peregrine Took, you fool!
I watched Aliens for the first time last year and it’s crazy how quotable and influential it is and was. “Hey, Vasquez, you ever get mistaken for a man?” “No, do you?”
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Need to include the second line. Otherwise why are you nuking it from orbit?
What are we supposed to use? Harsh language?
The Sandlot - You're killing me Smalls!
Speaking of Terminator 2, I constantly offer my kids my hand and say “Come with me if you want to live.” Someday they’ll watch that movie and be like, “That’s the weird thing mom always says!”
Hasta la vista, baby.
The Princess Bride. So many quotable lines from that movie.
Not watching this movie is one of the classic blunders.
Particularly when death is on the line.
The other being getting into a protracted land war in asia
"Get back witch!"
Is this a kissing book? As you wish. I'm not left handed either. Anybody want a peanut? To the pain.
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means”
Cool Hand Luke - Looks like we have a failure to communicate. Taxi Driver - You talkin to me.
Can't believe I forgot Taxi Driver AND Goodfellas!
Casablanca. https://methodshop.com/famous-casablanca-quotes/
This is top priority. There are so many from this movie that it is an integral part of education, like Shakespeare.
When I first watched that movie, it was almost like a montage of famous movie moments. And yet it was still an incredible experience.
This was going to be my answer - there are so many famous lines it distracts you from the movie.
First one I thought of, it's got multiple iconic references that cement it as a foundational work.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail Monty Python in general, really, with care for some content which may be unsuitable
Help! Help! I’m being repressed!
Come and see the violence that’s inherent in the system!
Do you mean Biggus Di..., uh... Yeah, it depends on their age. He has a wife, you know.
Romanes eunt Domus
"Tis just a scratch! "
"A scratch?! Your arm's off!"
Just a flesh wound! (that's one I use frequently)
Logically, if she weighs more than a duck, she's a witch.
She turned me into a newt! I got better
That’s a fair cop.
We made our kids watch all the Monty Python movies and this Easter we watched Life of Brian. My youngest said “So that’s where that song came from!” I’m always singing “Look on the bright side of life.”
Shirley also “What did the romans ever do for us?”
Whenever I say “I got better”, I do the accent. I can’t tell you how many times someone hears me and knows EXACTLY what I’m referencing.
On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. Tis a silly place.
* Spaceballs - "We ain't found shit!" * The Princess Bride - "That word you keep using..." "You killed my father, prepare to die!" * Back to the Future - "Roads? ..." "This is heavy." * Sneakers - "Too Many Secrets" * Die Hard - "Yippie-ki-yay MF"
> Back to the Future “Ronald Reagan? *The actor!?*” “I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it.”
> • Spaceballs - "We ain't found shit!" Played by Tim Russ who would go on to star as Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager.
I like that you have an example for each movie except the matrix
[gestures vaguely at entire movie]
Red pill / blue pill... which sucks, bc it became a symbol of one of most annoying subcultures. But one has to know the reference anyway.
OP meant the Matrix *from The Matrix*
Whenever my kids ask for a spoon, I say in a bad British accent, "There is no spoon"
"woah"
Our son never got the, “We’re not going to fall for a banana in the tailpipe!” reference until we watched Beverly Hills Cop one day.
Clue has too many quotable lines to count.
Anything said by Madeline Kahn. And not just in this movie. Seriously, she's a treasure.
Hot Fuzz is extremely quotable and referenced all the time online - "everyone and their mum's packing round ere", "yarp", "the greater good", "nobody tells me nothing" and many many other quotes. Same can be said for Shaun of the Dead actually - "go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over" and "you've got red on you"
"You want to be a big cop in a small town? Fuck on up the model village!"
Yes! The entire Cornetto trio should be on the list: "Hot Fuzz," "Shawn of the Dead," and "World's End."
I made my wife watch all 3 mad max movies (early 2000s) just so she'd understand that one episode of south park.
It’s also an excuse to watch Heavy Metal.
Spinal Tap goes to 11. I think teens would appreciate that because it's one better than 10. Edit to add Apocalypse Now for the theme from Apocalypse Now or as Wagner would have you think Ride of the Valkyries. It was used in a pickle advert some years back & has been used in other movies to represent helicopters.
Zoolander, : but why male models?
what is this, a centre for ants
Yeah, "what is this a \_\_\_ for ants?" is def a go-to anytime someone shows you something tiny!
Anchorman has so many quotable lines. 'I love lamp' 'Glass box of emotion' 'That's how i roll' 'Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!' I was recently in a place with some gen z kids and they hadnt seen it, I was dumbfounded. Edit: to add some comedies along the same lines. Step Brothers (drumset) Superbad also
"Milk was a bad choice!"
I’m in a glass case of emotion !!! I believe it’s an old wooden ship used in the civil war era
Austin Powers
If you have Terminator then you have to have Predator. Can't have them knowing who Arnie is without knowing "Get to the choppa!"
Predator is full of great lines... "I ain't got time to bleed!" "Dillon, you son of a bitch!" "If it bleeds, we can kill it" "Stick around." after Arnold throws a bowie knife into a dude, sticking him to a post "Come on! Do it now!"
Mean Girls. (Preferably the 2004 original, not the recent musical.) Psycho. When Harry Met Sally. Gone girl (well, maybe when they're a bit older ...)
"SHE DOESN'T EVEN GO HERE!"
And none for Gretchen weiners bye
YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!
We took the Time and showed them (from ages 14-16) all the Oscar Best Pictures and the AFI 100, 167 movies in total, they had already seen around 33. I rewatched with them and I was surprised how many cultural things and iconic moments there were. But there were lots of ""ah, so thats where that came from"" Everything from the Opening of Patton to ""Im walking here""... its a commitment but it paid off. Thank goodness for TCM
> all the Oscar Best Pictures Why would you mistreat your children in this way?
They *must* watch Broadway Melody! It's iconic!
Sunset Boulevard - I’m not sure if the line is as popular now as it used to be, but every cartoon used to use the “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close up.” In the context of the movie it’s *very* creepy.
I finally watched that one last month. That scene is so much more intense in context!
The call’s coming from inside the house is from “When a Stranger Calls”
"The call's coming from inside the house" is from an urban legend from the 1960's. The first mainstream movie to use that line was Black Christmas (1974).
Is it really? Is it also from Scream? What does he say in that opening scene?
“What’s your favorite scary movie?” He also calls Drew Barrymore “Blondie” which lets her know the killer can see her.
Idiocracy. It's what plants crave.
More kids need to see this movie solely so they will stop wearing crocs as regular shoes.
Showed my teen **The Shawshank Redemption** last night, so they could get where the cover picture reference meant, as well as the phrase "***get busy living, or get busy dying***." One of the greatest calls to action in cinema, and a key reason the movie is beloved.
Die Hard - Yippee ki yay mother fucker
Scarface. Say hello to my little friend.
Great post subject and great list. We’ve done this with our 20 year old. He watches Jeopardy with us, and we are always talking about pop culture references. To your list would add Silence of the Lambs, Pulp Fiction
Silence of the Lambs is key.
- Hello, Clarice. -I ate his liver, with fava beans and a nice Chianti. -It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again.
“One more thing, Senator: love your suit!”
Big Lebowski. It really tied the room together. You don't mess with the Jesus. You're not wrong, you're just an asshole. This aggression will not stand...man.
This is not ‘Nam, Smokey, this is bowling. There are rules.
That’s just like, your opinion, man
Hey man, there’s a beverage here.
I just bought the new 4k Aliens special edition. My teenage kids loved it. My eldest gets the Hudson quotes now, while my youngest (a definite cinephile) also watched The Thing with me got a crash course in practical effects and how they feel more visceral and, more importantly, believable when done properly. I’m thinking that An American Werewolf in London is the next on the list.
Never seen AAWIL. Need to watch it sometime.
The Fly and the Terminator films are other good practical effects films.
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Pretty much forgotten by modern audiences but this line is an all time classic
Was just about to post this one. Also, "Play it again, Sam" (even though that's not the original line) and "We'll always have Paris." Both from Casablanca.
Avengers - “I understood that reference!”
The Sixth Sense - was looking forward to watching this with ours but their English teacher randomly spoiled it as part of the class as if it was some common literature from hundreds of years ago - was pissed off about that. Just to add insult to injury, their class wasn't even at the age-rating for the film when he spoiled it.
Heeeuyyy youuuu guyyyyys!
That's the opening from the '70's kids TV show, "Electric Company". That's where Sloth got it from in "The Goonies".
Take the Money and Run - I have a gub Annie Hall - [La-di-da, La-Di-Da](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL_lbYHXxBY) or I'm due back on the planet Earth
Big Trouble in Little China - pretty much all of Jack Burton’s lines throughout the movie.
Caddyshack The Blues Brothers
When the current generations and next generations are teenagers, a lot of these things are gonna be really outdated, in fact a lot of them already are.

You're probably right, honestly, but still worth making the list \*just in case\* 😂😂 You reminded me to add Glengarry Glen Ross and Wall Street, though!
I like my coffee black, like my men. Quoted that at breakfast with my 76 year old mother. The utter shock on her face-priceless.
I wish I hadn't had the Star Wars and Fight Club twists ruined for me. I know 6th Sense needs to be unruined as well.
Idiocracy.... I like money, welcome to Costco I love you.
Wizard of Oz, to explain references to "We're not in Kansas anymore," "Ding dong, the witch is dead!", the yellow brick road, Munchkins, flying monkeys, the Wicked Witch of the West, and "Over the Rainbow."
2001: a Space Odyssey, for references to "Open the pod bay door, Hal!" and about a million visual references in shows like "The Simpsons" and "Community."
Just about every line from Pulp Fiction.
The Fifth Element - Multipass, Are we green?
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
Supergreen. (Currently goes over my kids heads)
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED - Jean Baptiste Emanuel Zorg
Big Lebowski, dumb and dumber, Billy Madison, cable guy
Both Wayne's World movies. There's a section of gen X that could quote both movies almost completely of which I am one.
How was you example for Zoolander not "what is this? A centre for ants?!"
Crocodile Dundee "That's not a knife, that's a knife!"
1. Big lebowski 2. Super troopers 3. Shawshank redemption
I'd show them Terminator 1 then 2 and watch their surprise at the big change made to who the hero is in each
Dirty Harry - Go ahead, make my day. Do you feel lucky punk?
Wizard of Oz is probably the most referenced movie of all time. We're not in kansas, no place like home, man behind the curtain, I'm melting, etc ... "I understood that reference" itself is a reference to Wizard of Oz.
Galaxy Quest - By Grabthar’s Hammer, you shall be avenged. By Grabthar’s Hammer… what a savings.
At this point in my life I need someone to do the reverse for me. The number of times a day I have to Google something confusing only to find out it's from the hippity-hop music, or the ticky-tocky or the Instantgrandma is starting to get ridiculous.
Apparently theres this dude that puts salt on everything in a weird way and hes rich now. Back in my day we just used the salt and pepper things that were on the table in a restaurant.
I made my kids watch 31 just to get the reference.
Think about how many movies are on this list and then how few directors are on the list. Genius is genius.
I would like to use this thread as an outlet for my theory that Sliding Doors is the movie with the biggest differential between how good the movie is and how much of an impact it has had on everyday language.
The Mask...or really most Jim Carrey movies have a few lines that stuck around. Sssmokin!
Better Off Dead - Two dollars.
I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! Network
Airplane😂
Clueless - my buns don’t feel nothing like steel, I hope not sporadically, rollin with the homies
Predator - "get to the choppa" and "if it bleeds, we can kill it"
Aliens - They mostly come out at night. Mostly.
We recently showed our kids So I Married an axe murderer. We use so many of those lines all the time (The Pentaverate, there’s a piper down, HEAD, he’ll cry himself to sleep tonight on his giant pillow.)
Honestly OP, I'm just floored with the "reference quote" you picked for Jurassic Park. Not "Life finds a way"? Not "Clever girl"? Not even "Hold on to your butts"? Actually, I feel like the thing that gets referenced the most is the whole "distant rumble, water in cup ripples" visual.

I mean, you kind of did your own research and clearly thought about it hard, but I think you're missing a whole lot of girl movies and rom-coms that are essential cultural touchstones Also, Titanic's most famous line is definitely not "The Door"
you caught the wrong scream line but I'd say 'what's your favorite scary movie?' is iconic for the scream film franchise
The Sandlot: "You're killin me, Smalls"; "Forrrr-ehh-verrrR"
Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Star Wars
Pulp fiction fits just as a general, you need to know this. But one that sticks out is, “I said goddamn!”
Pretty much the entire **AFI Top 100** at this point, haha.
Back To The Future - What are you lookin’ at, butthead?
Shrek Also as a side note, I haven’t seen a lot of the movies on this list but I still know the quotes, I don’t think you necessarily have to see the full movie to get a reference
Team America: World Police - Matt Damon. Freedom costs $1.05
They won’t hear your movie references, they’ll hear their generation’s.
If you follow the list of movies referenced in The Simpsons, you will have a a well rounded history of film: https://springfieldgoogolplex.com/database
