Blazing Saddles

The Brooks film was, of course, ripping that line off from Bogart's 1948 movie "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", which is a REAL classic.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure



WHOA! Be excellent to each other, and PARTY ON dude!



Keanu Reeves sure has come a long way. That was his first movie acting role, if I'm not mistaken.

Isn't anyone going to mention Star Wars (the original)?



Oh yeah, that's one of the all-time greats...

How about Battlestar Galactica? :D

It seems like you are referring to "cult 80's style classics" right?



I like all those suggestions, but how could you leave out Stripes!

I think you may be mistaken. I'm under the impression that Parenthood was his first... I'll check... maybe I'm wrong.. or both of us...

EDIT: We were both wrong. Parenthood and B&T's EA came out in '89, but Dangerous Liasons (with John Malkovich, Glenn Close, Michelle Pfeiffer, Uma Thurman, etc.) was in '85, and he did other crap before that...

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Uh, guys?

Ever heard of a little film called "Dr. Strangelove"? I can't believe no one's mentioned that one.
