Last night we had a neighborhood fire and beer get together, I brought smoked cream cheese. On the second beer a few of the guys realized that we often speak in movie quotes, then how only people our age or older know what we are saying. So, we compiled a list of movies or TV we often use to communicate with people. Am I strange? Anyone else here do this? What did we miss?

My Brothers and my Good friend from Childhood reference several of those quotes a lot.
We also use others like, "Hello Clarice." from Silence of The Lambs. Many others too.
Love the "I didn't get a Hrumph from that Guy" Oh a lot from The Godfather movies.
"Keep you friends close, and your enemies closer."
"Luca Brazzi sleeps with the fishes."
 
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue!!!
When I coached baseball I used a lot from the movie Major League. Most of the kids didn't get it. Most never saw it or saw the TV edited version.
Watch uncut version with teenage son over Christmas he finally got most of the jokes😂
Its funny how some of those movies evolve as you age. Puberty helps to understand lot of the humor!

You asked!
Your're strange.No I don't.You missed something.

You have a point, most Air Force people I meet are pretty normal.

I've never heard any of those quotes or even recognize any of those Gifs! Lol
Haha! well, you are 32? I stopped watching movies in about 2000. I started again in 2016, but only movies for kids age 8 and under! If you want a list of these 80s-90s classics let me know!

Me and my buddies do the same.
For example:
Whenever a helicopter flys over, I yell out…WOLVERINES!!!!!
Hahah! Im training my son to do that! Original Red Dawn was missed, thank you!

Yes! "It puts the Lotion on it's skin or it gets the firehose again" is a common phrase with us when there is too much complaining. "Leave the gun, take the cannoli" to remind someone to grab something! I'm still active duty in the Marines, the Hrumph is a common joke amongst us saltier guys.

Got a feeling you and I don't watch the same type of movies. Recognized a few faces but none of the quotes.

Yes Sir, Travis is too young for these, you are a bit older. But, I will say my Dad is a tad older than you and a lot of these movies I have very fond memories of watching with him. To this day when we get a chance to hang out old Arnold quotes will fly. I will say that I watched other movies, even the classics, they just dont make the quote communication threshold as often.

I rarely find any movies worth watching these days, and am always at a loss when someone tosses a quote from a movie my way and expects me to know WTF they are talking about.
No Sir, me either. All those movies are from the 80s and 90s. From mid 90's through early 2005 when I was a younger Marine we didnt have a lot of places we could go on liberty, or we were stuck on ships, etc. Back then, one or two video cassettes were what we would have for entertainment. I guess thats how it started for us and it stuck.
 
My wife and I have three movie quotes that pop up time and time again.

#1- I do 99% of the food shopping, prep, and cooking. If any of those happen quickly, my wife will say, "Wow, that was fast!." I always answer, "That's me. Fast and delicious!" (Defending Your Life).

#2 - Every time I roast or smoke a whole chicken, one of us says, "Cheecan....Guuud!" (The Fifth Element).

#3 - Whenever we're in different rooms and hear a loud crash or thump from somewhere in the house, the person who did it ALWAYS says, "I'm okay. I'm OOOOOHkay!" (It's a Wonderful Life). Great trivia read about how that impromptu line was included in the movie.

That 0.0 is so funny. Every time I watch Animal House, I laugh the loudest at that scene, and when Belushi is coming down the stairs for the Toga party, and he smashes Stephen Bishop's guitar.
And when the Horse drops dead in the Dean's office.
 
I don't have to look. I think Animal House was the first R rated movie I saw. It was more amusing afterwards, because a bunch of my friends and I talked out moms into taking us to see it. We sat together, and our moms also watched the movie from a different row. We could hear their reaction to various parts of the movie. The ride home was epic!
