2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Rain Man. Definetly, definetly, Rain Man.
Quite possibly the best all-around acting performances (especially physical) by Dustin Hoffman.

Hahahahaha Mr. Midwest. That is some SERIOUS crimping.
I own that movie on VHS and I literally cannot watch more than 3 mins. It might be the WORST thing ever made.

I've never seen it, but here's the trailer, CM2. https://www.mgm.com/video_window.do?formatid=3030&videoid=1428
I'm surprised no one's mentioned Night of the Comet. Now that's a real 80s classic.

How about Certain Fury, starring Irene Cara and Tatum O'Neill?
Or of course, Stayin' Alive. Who wouldn't love a movie about a B'way musical called "Satan's Alley?"
