Dude, I *still* stop what I'm doing and watch the volleyball scene whenever Top Gun is on TV.
Once in college a friend an I blew off an afternoon class to make pina coladas and watch the volleyball scene.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't think I've ever seen Top Gun, and thus have no clue what's up with this volleyball scene.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
SotV had "And...iris in!" every five minutes (as though every single shot in Nosferatu began with a circular wipe, which just isn't the case -- the portrayal of Nosferatu as a cheesy B-movie overall was just irritating), and BJM had that fuzzy-edged oval Malkovich-cam.

Oh, P-C. You must.

Huh. Didn't notice the former, and I'm not sure I'd agree that NOSFERATU was treated as a "cheesy B-movie". I would agree that Dafoe's performance was by far the best thing in the movie, but I enjoyed other parts of it as well. They wasted Eddie Izzard, but this is hardly the most egregious case of that (THE AVENGERS and MYSTERY MEN being just two of the more blatant cases of Izzard waste).
As for BJM, it never pinged me as an abuse because I figured they needed some way to delineate Malkovich-view from the rest of the movie.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I like Izzard in Mystery Men. Though admittedly there was a ton of comic talent in that movie that was severely underutilized.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I loved Eddie in The Avengers. Big, strong silent type (even tho in real life he's tiny) who has one line the whole movie - "Oh, fuck."

I'm not sure why I'm doing this to myself, but I just watched Jason X.
Jason X answers the question, "What would happen if you crossed Friday the 13th with Alien ?"
The answer is, "You get a bad Jason movie and a bad sci-fi movie! Two for the price of one!"
The characters are...not interesting! The plot is...not logical! The killing is...not creative! The humor is...not funny! (With the exception of a pretty hilarious metajoke near the end.)
No, no, no, people. I'm generally a lenient guy, but this movie's just plain bad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is Terminator III worth watching?
'Cuz I'm watching it. (For free, on cable.)

It's all right. And it's got a ballsy ending. I'd say you're making the right decision with the free, on cable, business.
It's better than the stuff I've been watching for free, on cable.
