Office Space
Wayne's World
The 40 Year Old Virgin

I enjoy watching older movies...some in black and white, like:

The Bicycle Thief
Don't Look Now
Persona
Mulholland Drive
 
For favorite medically-related movie (and as neuro major) I'd have to go with Lorenzo's Oil...... I wish I could discover an amazing treatment.
 
Just Like Heaven

Heck the main female character failed her MCATs the first time and is now a hotshot doc. You can too!

No, Nancy- on the contrary! I've loved you my whole life. This may seem a little sudden, but Nancy, will you be my wife?

Oh Rita!

Don't tell me you don't remember me 'cause I sure as heckfire remember you!


Did you know that originally, the first scene in that movie was supposed to be the one where he's sitting on the bench describing everything that happens and counting down until he can steal the money off the armored truck?

Was she supposed to be at UCSF?
 
No, I didn't- I'm really glad they didn't do that.

It's funny I think I could probably recite that entire movie.

Premed related: White Castle

Kumar: "The only reason why I'm here is so that my dad will continue to give me spending money"

Dean from Harvard: "But you received perfect scores on your MCATS!"

Kumar: "Just because you're hung like a moose, doesn't mean you want to be a pornstar."

Ok i'm sure those quotes are off, but I was too lazy too look them up, you get the idea.

And I don't understand how Shaun of the Dead is funny. I think it had its moments, but overall not that funny. Maybe, I'm not into British humor, if its british...

Shaun of the Dead is more satire than pure "British" humor. I really enjoyed it, likely because I'm also a big fan of the zombie movies it lampoons (Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Layer). It was hugely popular in the UK. Some magazine over there voted in the top 5 for funniest movies ever.
 
I've met the real Rudy...he's not as loveable as the movie version....I think the lisp and overweight part when I saw him might have combined to do it. Shaun of the dead is funny because it makes fun of every single one of those type of movies...fairly well and yes..british humor seems hard for most americans to pick up. Much more subtle with the world play stuff.Or just weird in some cases.

Fave movies is hard for me.....I watch probably 5 movies a week but um on the list

Good Bye Lenin
Kurz und Schmerzlos
Big Lebowski
Forrest Gump
Office Space
Dumb and Dumber
Schindler's List (I bet this is the first time Schindler's list has been on the same list as some of these movies)
Super Troopers when drinking
Equilibrium
Breakfast at Tiffany's (weird I know)
and so many others...bah

"Yo, Adrienne!!"

That's actually how my cousin got her name- they couldn't decide what to call her, and "Rocky" was playing on the ward, so they decided "Adrienne" would make a great name for their daugter. My family is weird. 🙄

As for myself:
Major League
A League of Their Own
The Wedding Singer
Braveheart
Armaggedon

And if we're gonna talk Disney- Sleeping Beauty of course
