Total Recall (1990, dir. Paul Verhoeven)
- “I’ll see you at the party, Richter!” Philip K Dick combined with Verhoven violence? Yes please! Mike White
- I've spent hours thinking about how painful it would be to pull that thing out of my nose. I would probably just leave it in and get caught. Christian Collins
- I never get tired of three breasted women, Sharron Stone when she was hot, and Arnold Schwarzenegger killing people. Seth Levi
- I'm always fascinated Schwarzenegger's portrayal as an "everyman". Stefan Blitz
- The coolest thing about this movie is, from what I’ve heard, it was written as a way for Hitch to shoot all these different scenes he had always wanted to shoot. Ross Dannenberg

- Even without iconic crop duster and Mount Rushmore scenes, Cary Grant's performance would still make the film highly entertaining to watch. Seth Levi

- White people... am I right, folks? John Teehan
- Tony Perkins at his twitchy best...until Mahogany. DJ Crystal Clear
- Did this movie make Anthony Perkins seem creepy? Or was this movie creepy because Anthony Perkins was in it? Heather Kenealy
- A creepy Victorian house on the hill, a lonely motel owner, a hot tenant who decides that she needs a shower, and Bernard Herrmann slicing us up with strings along the way, guided by Hitch’s camera. Pure black and white bliss. Don Roff

- Damaging the hotel business since 1960. Alex Langley
- Without this we wouldn't have Halloween. Richmond Clements

- This movie has the scariest macho line ever uttered by an action film baddie: "I used to f**k guys like you in prison!" Matt Kennedy
- My ultimate "guilty pleasure" movie. In honor of Swayze, I watched this just yesterday... and it is still a fun romp! Deane Ogden
- Goddamn you, cancer. Goddamn you to hell. Dutch Southern
- This movie is absolutely horrible, but you can’t stop watching it, even though you’re thinking to whole time “Did someone just make a movie about barfights?” Chris Mancini
- Everyone loves to hate Wesley. Kurt Jansson

- There will never be a film like this, never be an experience like this, never be Tim Curry in drag like this again.. ok, maybe that last one, but only on special occasions. Heather Kenealy

- My favorite performance by Gwyneth Paltrow. Emma Bates
- I took a class at a university over the summer where the kids were all running around in their little school-logo trackjackets. We started referring to them as The Royal Tenenbaums. Molly B Denham
- I love Wes Anderson films, no other films are like his. Kyle Jackson
- One of the most original scripts in film history! DJ Crystal Clear
- This is the film where Anderson starts paying homage to himself. Stefan Blitz
- I fucking hate this film and anything else that Wes Anderson has done. Pretentious claptrap. Mike White

- I thought it was porn when I rented this at the video store. After watching the movie, I still wished it was porn. David Monsterburg

- This movie worked my last nerve with the stupid slang - ugh! DJ Crystal Clear
- After watching this movie all my guy friends began dressing in suits and calling every chick baby and talking about how “Money” things were. Elizabeth Young
- I love this movie but it has spawned an entire generation of douchebags who call each other “Money” and will never refer to Vegas without adding “baby”. Kyle Smith
- I once broke up with a girl and then moved to LA and thought about calling her every day. So this movie showed me my future…except I didn’t pick up Heather Graham. So there’s that. Jay Williams
- Aw, remember when you could still do funny things while going through airport security? Jenna Busch
