"Did you hear that?"
For a movie fanatic like myself (check out the list of top 50 movies since
1970 - I've seen all but 14), movie quotes are loads of fun.
(You may have already noted the Star Wars theme in my page headers)

Wars ones would make it ridiculously long)

Dream Team"

up... it'll be anarchy!" - Judd Nelson, "The Breakfast Club"
