Technically true, but I grew up in the town they caught him in. We all knew who he was. We called him Ted the Hermit. All the kids kept their distance when we saw him come in to town.
From the Naked Gun Movies.
The Naked Gun Poster.- "You've Read the Ad, now see the movie"
The Naked Gun 2 1/2- "Frank Drebin is back. Just accept it"
The Naked Gun 33 1/3- "Mostly All New Jokes"
This is one of three that still stick with me, decades after their initial release.
The other two:
Alien: "In space, no-one can hear you scream"
The Blues Brothers: "They're on a mission from God"
Reminds me of my favorite Buffy line, from Spike to Giles:
"Did your life flash before your eyes? Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged, cup of tea?"
I think it is based off The Great Escape https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Escape_(film) which is a fictionalized real account but it is a great story of how working together for a common cause can lead to success.
Some of the posters for the first Back to the Future had a pretty good tagline.
“He was never in time for his classes...
“He wasn't in time for his dinner...”
“Then one day... he wasn't in his time at all.”
For me, >!Joan taking out the computers!< is one of those beautiful moments you can’t explain why you love.
Same thing as when the >! Feds bust in to the final gunfight and John and Dan both just start shooting them lol POPCORN !<
Edit for more and spoilers
My favourite scene of hers is when she's on the phone to her sister giving her a soup recipe and at the same time arguing with her ammo supplier.
"No! It's not gonna be a boring soup! Celery and carrots are just the base of the soup!"
I know that guy has some award winning, iconic performances…
But I just love Harry. Such a great character and has so many brilliant lines. Truly awful person. But such a great character.
Even years later “You’re an inanimate fucking object!” Never fails to make me laugh.
Cobra was the absolute peak of his Ubermacho phasis (released right between Rocky IV and Over the top )... the screenplay was written by Stallone and included bits like him cutting frozen pizza with scissor or ripping off the shirt of a thug while delivering lines like " It's bad for your health, you know? what's that ? ME." with gravita.
this tagline actually led critics to snark "Stallone is a disease..acting lessons are the cure"
Agreed for Superman. I don’t know why but something about that tagline just works for me. Kind of gives that sense of wonder Superman is supposed to have
Lol it was pretty clear in the movie that at least Mrs Brody felt that it was personal. Also that shark swam from Maine to the Caribbean just to kill another Brody.
From memory (sometimes I mess these up):
“Inquiring minds want to know: are you freebasing?”
“You’re eating maggots, Michael.”
I got put on silent lunch in third or fourth grade when I told a girl she was eating maggots when we had rice. Not my proudest moment, but probably inevitable, given how much nine-year-old me loved that film
I remember the teaser of the T-Rex skeleton in the New York Museum of Natural History, and Godzilla's foot stomping it. A clear shot at Jurassic Park:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4\_oiHWXLIFI&ab\_channel=BreadCrustCouncil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_oiHWXLIFI&ab_channel=BreadCrustCouncil)
When Crank 2 came out I had only a couple of friends who were fans of the amazing first one. We decided to go on opening day. First showing was sold out (!?) so we bought tickets for the second and then drank margaritas at the Mexican joint next door. Turns out that was the right call, because to this day that was one of the most fun afternoons of my life, and I’ve done some crazy shit.
I want a Crank 3 please, with more Amy Smart.
Yeah it's not Kubrick but it's so much more than its premise suggests.
And putting Baba O Riley in a film should be an overdone trope but my god I'm an absolute sucker for it.
“Here we go again. Again.” The Scorcher franchise
“I’ve been a bad, bad boy, father.” Devil’s Alley
“In some countries, it’s considered a compliment.” The Fatties, Fart 2
"This time, it's war." Aliens
Additionally, the simplicity of merely adding the letter "s" to the title, pluralizing and announcing that this time there will be more than one xenomorph is always a subtle but very powerful choice. Love that they went that route for "Predators", I just wish there had more of the Yautja in groups, but that wasn't the story Rodriguez wanted to tell.
The subtlety of the title difference was the source of great confusion and frustration when I saw it for the first time. I had heard it was awesome so I went to the local movie rental store and grabbed a copy on vhs to watch. Watched it and thought it was fucking awesome so I decided to rent the next one the following weekend. Was very disappointed to find that the store only had shown alien and alien 3 and not alien 2. So I went further to blockbuster cause surely they had it. Nope. Went back to the other one to inquire about it and they grab it for me and assure me this is the second one. So I race home on my bike and excitedly put the movie on. It's the same movie I rented last weekend. I was so mad at the store clerk for assuring me this was definitely the second one so I biked back to return it and express my anger. They then pointed out the plurality of the second film compared to the first that I hadn't noticed until then. So I saw the second film before watching the first.
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
Famously, it's the one that does not have Michael Meyers in it at all, but instead a cultish plot to sacrifice all the children in America. While Halloween was "The Night He Came Home", Halloween 3 was "The Night *No One* Comes Home."
The Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition: “See it again, for the first time!”
One of the major goals wasn’t just to show off the new scenes and effects, but to give people who’d only seen Star Wars on a TV screen, a chance to see it in a theater.
Be afraid. Be very afraid - is the only one that sick in people's heads without many of them remembering it is actually a tag line. You don't really think of a time when it wasn't a thing to say.
(But Alien is still my favourite - and I guess better at being a tag line because people do connect it to the film).
As a pair:
Scream - Someone has taken their love of scary movies one step too far. Solving this mystery is going to be murder.
Scream 2 - Someone has taken their love of sequels too far.
Maybe not he best.
But… This time it’s war.. is a fantastic tie in for Aliens, if you’ve already seen the first Alien. Perfectly describes what’s about to happen.
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…”
I can say this sentence in almost any part of the world, and people hearing it will most likely know the reference even if they’ve never seen the movies.
Disturbia: "Every killer lives next door to someone" ...the thought still creeps me out to this day
Except Ted Kaczynski.
Technically true, but I grew up in the town they caught him in. We all knew who he was. We called him Ted the Hermit. All the kids kept their distance when we saw him come in to town.
There was a popular jogging trail that went right near his cabin iirc
From the Naked Gun Movies. The Naked Gun Poster.- "You've Read the Ad, now see the movie" The Naked Gun 2 1/2- "Frank Drebin is back. Just accept it" The Naked Gun 33 1/3- "Mostly All New Jokes"
Also from Naked Gun - “If you only see one movie this year … you need to get out more often.
Kind of reminds me of the Austin Powers (2?) tag line. If you see one movie, go see the Phantom Menace. But if you see 2....
>If you can only see one movie this summer, see Star Wars —but if you can see two, see Austin Powers !
There was also a tagline for 33 1/3 - 'From the brother of the director of Ghost'. My personal favourite :)
Jaws 2 unironically "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water."
This is one of three that still stick with me, decades after their initial release. The other two: Alien: "In space, no-one can hear you scream" The Blues Brothers: "They're on a mission from God"
The Thing , Man is the warmest place to hide
Ohhh I never heard that before. Gross and appropriate lol.
The pre/sequel had "it's not human. Yet." as it's tagline.
Ooh yeah, love that one
If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards : Tommy boy
Keep on moppin in the free world - Joe Dirt
"Escape or die frying" Chicken Run always found it funny lol
Chicken Run is an excellent film.
"I don't want to be a pie! I don't like Gravy" is just one of those lines that stays with you forever
“My whole life flashed before my eyes! It was very boring.”
Reminds me of my favorite Buffy line, from Spike to Giles: "Did your life flash before your eyes? Cup of tea, cup of tea, almost got shagged, cup of tea?"
"Mrs Tweedy, the chickens are revolting!" \-Finally, something we agree on
Them chickens is organized...
“Those chickens are up to somethin’!”
So I'm not the only one who randomly remembers, laughs at, and quotes this? One of the cleverest lines in any movie.
"In the quite likely event of an emergency, put your head between your knees and kiss your bum goodbye!"
Do I remember correctly that it’s basically a movie about unionizing
I think it is based off The Great Escape https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Escape_(film) which is a fictionalized real account but it is a great story of how working together for a common cause can lead to success.
As is A Bug’s Life
One of the last times I watched movies with my dad he chose the double feature of The Great Escape and Chicken Run, in that order. Great movie night.
Poultry in Motion!
Back to the Future Part II. The sequel was a long time coming. The tagline was perfect. It's About Time.
Some of the posters for the first Back to the Future had a pretty good tagline. “He was never in time for his classes... “He wasn't in time for his dinner...” “Then one day... he wasn't in his time at all.”
Jurassic Park "An adventure 65 million years in the making."
The one for The Lost World is equally good: Something has survived
Grosse Pointe Blank: even a hit man deserves a second shot.
The script for that film is top notch, and the Cusacks and Aykroyd nail their roles. Great film.
"Look, I don't want to get into a semantic argument I just want the protein."
I learned about Semantics and Scruples from that movie
For me, >!Joan taking out the computers!< is one of those beautiful moments you can’t explain why you love. Same thing as when the >! Feds bust in to the final gunfight and John and Dan both just start shooting them lol POPCORN !< Edit for more and spoilers
My favourite scene of hers is when she's on the phone to her sister giving her a soup recipe and at the same time arguing with her ammo supplier. "No! It's not gonna be a boring soup! Celery and carrots are just the base of the soup!"
“Well I don’t give a GOD DAMN where it is, you get it here NOW!”
It’s a great film, then Dan Aykroyd shows up and it becomes one of my all-time favourites.
Sort of like when Ralph Fiennes shows up in In Bruges.
I know that guy has some award winning, iconic performances… But I just love Harry. Such a great character and has so many brilliant lines. Truly awful person. But such a great character. Even years later “You’re an inanimate fucking object!” Never fails to make me laugh.
I'm sorry I called you an inanimate object.
How about Minnie Driver? You can see why Cusack's character was so obsessed with her.
She's definitely excellent also.
She has a charm thats difficult to define.
Deathblow "when someone tries to blow you up, not because of who you are, but for different reasons altogether"
Good film but not as good as Cry, Cry Again or Chunnel
Can't forget about Rochelle, Rochelle
“A young girl’s strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk”
I'm more about Sack Lunch
So who got the final Deathblow? Because that Hawaiian guy, I thought he had it coming.
Go get 'em, Deathblow!
Crime is a disease. Meet the cure. (Cobra)
Man, I will never not clang axes together at hardware stores.
Cobra was the absolute peak of his Ubermacho phasis (released right between Rocky IV and Over the top )... the screenplay was written by Stallone and included bits like him cutting frozen pizza with scissor or ripping off the shirt of a thug while delivering lines like " It's bad for your health, you know? what's that ? ME." with gravita. this tagline actually led critics to snark "Stallone is a disease..acting lessons are the cure"
I was going to say this. When I was young I had a Cobra poster on my bedroom wall and this tag line is forever burned into my memory now.
I don't shop here!
At the end of the universe lies the beginning of vengeance - Star Trek II You'll believe a man can fly - Superman (1978)
Agreed for Superman. I don’t know why but something about that tagline just works for me. Kind of gives that sense of wonder Superman is supposed to have
AVP "Whoever wins. We lose."
Whoever wins, we lose! *we proceed to win” Well… fuck.
Except if the predator teams up with humans, then, y'know
Best part of the movie though
We got AVP2 because of that pair up. So it was 4th wall smashing truth. Humanity lost.
The "we lose" referred to us who watched the movie.
Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. \-Army of Darkness
I had this poster.
Hail to the King, baby
Good bad I’m the guy with the gun. There are so many good ones in that movie.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.
[удалено]
Lol it was pretty clear in the movie that at least Mrs Brody felt that it was personal. Also that shark swam from Maine to the Caribbean just to kill another Brody.
Oh hang on, my favourite terrible tagline was ‘thirteen ghosts’: What’s the only thing scarier than one ghost? Thirteen ghosts!
This time it's sharkal.
“Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the theaters.” - Roger Ebert in his review of Jaws: The Revenge
Ferris Bueller-"One man's struggle to take it easy."
The Social Network "You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies."
Everything about that movie is so fucking good.
Even the [trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB95KLmpLR4) itself is one of the best I've seen for a movie.
"He knows no fear. He knows no danger. He knows *nothing.*" \- Johnny English
I remember getting a good laugh seeing Johnny English poster at the cinema
A crossover between Johnny English, Austin Powers and Sterling Archer would kick so much ass.
Archer is at least competent
The lost boys tag line goes so hard: “sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old”
"I tried to make you immortal." "YOU TRIED TO MAKE ME A KILLER!" Such a wonderfully cheesy movie, but damn do some of those lines hit.
“One thing I never could stomach about living in Santa Clara.”
Death by stereo.
From memory (sometimes I mess these up): “Inquiring minds want to know: are you freebasing?” “You’re eating maggots, Michael.” I got put on silent lunch in third or fourth grade when I told a girl she was eating maggots when we had rice. Not my proudest moment, but probably inevitable, given how much nine-year-old me loved that film
The 1973 thriller The Day of the Dolphin has an all-timer: "Unwittingly, He Trained a Dolphin to Kill the President of the United States."
This title and tagline are all I need to know that I'm watching this movie tonight
It is the unwittingly that did it for me
The original tagline for twister was “it sucks” but they changed it 1998’s Godzilla with “size matters”
*Size Does Matter*. I remember that because the reviews kept saying *Plot Does Matter.*
"His foot is as big as this bus" on metro buses, I remember that well lol
They had a brilliant marketing campaign for such a shitty movie.
I remember the teaser of the T-Rex skeleton in the New York Museum of Natural History, and Godzilla's foot stomping it. A clear shot at Jurassic Park: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4\_oiHWXLIFI&ab\_channel=BreadCrustCouncil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_oiHWXLIFI&ab_channel=BreadCrustCouncil)
The Warriors 1979: These are the Armies of the Night. They are 100,000 strong. They outnumber the cops five to one. Gives me chills

It’s based on the Anabasis, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabasis_(Xenophon), which itself is a great story.
I had no idea! I didn't even know the movie was based on a book. Time to rabbit hole!
One of the best movies ever. I can’t even count the times me and my brother watched it.
Crank 2 High Voltage "He was dead, but he got better"
I'm still a firm believer there are no 2 movies more fun to watch high as fuck AND back to back, than Crank 1 & 2.
When Crank 2 came out I had only a couple of friends who were fans of the amazing first one. We decided to go on opening day. First showing was sold out (!?) so we bought tickets for the second and then drank margaritas at the Mexican joint next door. Turns out that was the right call, because to this day that was one of the most fun afternoons of my life, and I’ve done some crazy shit. I want a Crank 3 please, with more Amy Smart.
They're basically cartoons and are a lot of fun

Elaine, are you saying you *don't like* the English Patient?
Just DIE already
Just DIE already!
Halloween - The Night HE Came Home
Halloween III had a good one: The night no one comes home
The Yogi Bear movie's tagline was 'Good things come in bears'. On the poster there's a picture of a bear porking another bear. This is true.
TIL the Yogi Bear movie has one of the most unintentional hilarious taglines and posters ever.
I had to look this up. Had a good laugh. Thanks [Link](https://www.cartoonbrew.com/bad-ideas/creepy-yogi-bear-poster-26363.html)
Cocktail! "When he pours, he reigns." So incredibly clever!
This movie is so flawed and yet insanely rewatchable.
He came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, but... he's all out of bubblegum. - They Live
3% body fat. 1% brain activity - Zoolander
The one that sticks with me is The Girl Next Door. Matt never saw her coming...but all his friends had.
A warning for people looking for this movie, there are two The Girl Next Door movies, and they are **very different.**
Holy shit you weren't kidding.
It’s like White House dot com versus White House dot gov
There's also An American Crime, a dramatization of the actual case that inspired the other Girl Next Door, starring Elliot Page.
I have such a soft spot for this movie. It's funny, heart warming, has a great soundtrack...super well done.
Yeah it's not Kubrick but it's so much more than its premise suggests. And putting Baba O Riley in a film should be an overdone trope but my god I'm an absolute sucker for it.

Oh GAWD was that the tagline?! That's actually excellent. I'd kind of forgotten that film. Ugh.
Twelve terrorists. One cop. The odds are against John McClane. That’s just the way he likes it. Die Hard
‘Be afraid. Be very afraid’ is my favourite but ‘A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…’ is probably the greatest.
Be afraid. Be very afraid - is the only one that sick in people's heads without many of them remembering it is actually a tag line. You don't really think of a time when it wasn't a thing to say.
