Anyone who's been here before probably knows I watch a lot of movies and television shows.
Every now and then, a line or scene from a movie or show will randomly pop into my head, and won't go away until I watch whatever it's from. Today I thought I'd share these moments.
Movies first.
The opening cheer from Bring It On:
Bring It On is a completely ridiculous movie, but so much fun to watch.
Imagine Me & You:
This line is used twice in the movie. Once in the scene above, where Luce is teaching Rachel how to shout properly, and once when Rachel is trying to get Luce's attention in a noisy traffic jam. I've included that one below.
Poor number 9. I always find myself pausing this movie half way through to make a cup of tea. It must be the Britishness of it.
Labyrinth:
I love Labyrinth. When I was a kid, I could recite the whole movie from start to finish.
Tomb Raider:
I don't know what it is about Lara Croft saying "Absolutely" that I enjoy so much, but enjoy it I do, and it does randomly lodge itself in my brain.
TV Shows
Chuck: Chuck vs. the Crown Vic (Season 1, Episode 11)
Ahh, first season UST Chuck and Sarah bickering. I love her tone there.
Eureka: Purple Haze (Season 1, Episode 10)
Jo saying "ice-skating!" was one of those things that I thought probably amused me way more than it should. We all have moments like that, where we find something hilarious, and our friends are looking at us like we're idiots, all 'it's not that funny'. Then I found the podcast commentary for the episode and discovered that the cast find it just as funny as I do, so at least I'm not alone in that.
Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars
I know this could have gone in the movies section, as it's from the movie that wrapped up the series, but if I'm gonna watch the Peacekeeper Wars, I have to watch the whole series leading up to it.
Fringe: Ability (Season 1, Episode 14)
Such a cute little teasing moment in an episode that's actually fairly tense for Olivia.
Law & Order: SVU - Guilt (Season 3, Episode 18)
Poor Alex, she really needed a hug pretty much throughout the whole episode. Also remember when this show was still awesome and Benson was a kick ass detective, instead of the whiny cry baby she is now. It all went so far downhill I honestly don't know how it gets an automatic renewel every year.
The X-Files: Bad Blood (Season 5, Episode 12)
No matter what kind of bad mood I might happen to be in, this moment always makes me laugh. And the whole episode is pretty much the funniest episode of The X-Files ever.
Lastly I'll just mention a line from an episode of Law & Order that I can't post, because I don't have it on DVD. For some reason even though the network has released all the seasons of SVU & Criminal Intent, they have only released up to season 8 of their original, longest running drama. Damn them, I want my Abbie Carmichael seasons!
From Cherished (L&O Season 9, Episode 1) while trying to decide who should be punished the most for the death of a baby girl:
Abbie Carmichael: "No deals for anybody. Let's hang 'em all."
I love Abbie.

heh we have all the Tomb Raider games and the movies, and we often quote random bits from them trying (and failing)to get the accent and attitude right.
...how embarrassing - I've never seen ANY of those movies or TV shows!
I love trying to get the accent right when I do quotes. Sadly I suck at accents.
Kath: You need to put all these things on your DVD list. Or at least Labyrinth. Everyone needs to have seen Labyrinth at least once in their life.
Kath hasn't seen Labyrinth?? I'm shocked....
I also have to watch a whole series if I want to see the movie that follows. Right now I'm having a Stargate fest. So I can watch The Ark of Truth of course. Then Continuum...
And now I have to watch all of those little clips you put in.
me too hasn't seen labyrinth...never heard about it
