Movie Quote of the Day – Trading Places, 1983 (dir. John Landis)
Billy Ray Valentine: Happy New Year.
Coleman: That’s kind of you, son. A Happy New Year to you, too. Could I offer either of you two gentlemen a wee jolt of Irish whisky, to usher in the New Year?
Clarence Beeks: Not for me, pal.
Billy Ray Valentine: I do not drink. It is against my religion.
Coleman: I always say, religion’s a fine thing, taken in moderation.
Movie Quote of the Day – Clue, 1985 (dir. Jonathan Lynn)
Mrs. White: Yes. Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her, so much. . .it-it- the f – it -flam – flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl-heaving breaths. Heaving. . .
Movie Quote of the Day – An American Werewolf In London, 1981 (dir. John Landis)
Jack: [describing his funeral] Debbie Klein cried a lot. So, so, you know what she does? She’s soooo grief-stricken, she runs to find solace in Mark Levine’s bed.
David: Mark Levine?
Jack: An asshole! [beat] Life mocks me even in death.

Jake: Hit it.
Movie Quote of the Day – Animal House, 1978 (dir. John Landis)
D-Day: War’s over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
Bluto: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough…
[thinks hard]
Bluto: the tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go!
[runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst. “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Wormer, he’s a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer…
Otter: Dead! Bluto’s right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
Bluto: We’re just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let’s do it.
Bluto: Let’s do it!
