This is probably my favourite 80s movie..... I LOVE IT.........

I always wonder @ the end of the movie if Dr. Hathaway knows who did that to his house?? (I reckon it being POPCORN he knows damn well who did it)

What do others think of this piece of gold??

I remember thinking it was a very smart and well done movie, and definitely one of the most consistently hilarious movies I'd seen in a while.

My husband and I still quote it.

I remember loving it. Just saw it last night and was so disappointed when I realized :
-there was never enough kernels to pop that much corn
-the house wouldn't have collapsed
-the laser stopped heating it yet it kept popping!

Debbie Downer day, sorry guys!

Yes I noticed that also!! (When he said 'SHUT THE FIELD DOWN" it was already down!!!! (It stopped after a few seconds but the heat caused the corn to continue popping))

Ah man!!


I would LOVE to talk to some of the members in that movie!!!!!! -- I HAVE VALS EMAIL ADDRESS (Chris Knight) and I have tried to email and say hello but he fails to respond (Makes it seem like they are JUST IN IT FOR $$$$$$ and dont wanna talk to anyone if $$$$ isnt involved)

Lmao

And has anyone noticed how Mitch looks just like Sarah Jessica Parker's uglier/prettier (depending on how you see her) younger brother (or sister)?

I use this line often in meetings/discussions about management and lines of reporting: "Well, I guess it goes from God, to Jerry, to you... to the cleaners."

I also love to use "you'll rue the day."

A family member started dating a guy named Kent last year and I have been known to bust out "this is Jesus, Kent."

Great flick.

Rue: To regret or feel sorrow over



I love this movie as well and it gets quoted quite a bit in my household. Still can't get over that Lazlo (Jon Gries) was the Uncle in Napolean Dynamite.
