Real Genius (1985)

[ScoobMaster]

Ok, so most of you know I am an 80s nostalgiac dude....

So after reading the thread about Better Off Dead (one of my FAVORITE 80s movies) I was inspired to start another on one of my OTHER favorite 80s movies...

The 1985 Classic, REAL GENIUS

It is soooooo QUOTABLE!

They just don't make goofball films like this these days...

This movie is fucking awesome. I've probably watched it a billion times.

It is because of this, I asked me dad, "What does he mean 'Quit playing with yourself!'"

No one would watch them...personally, I do not like the 'monty python' humor. It's a little boring to me.

That being said, I am going to watch Airplane 1 and 2 tonight .. never seen em!

D: wtf???

after that, you need to watch Top Secret! it's my personal fave of the Zucker bros flicks.

don't forget The Naked Gun--the Police Squad show was also awesome. "Hey, no sax before a fight!"

Monty Python blows. But CLASSIC 80s comedy isn't even in the same vein.

Edit: Posting in another classic Skoobmaster flashback thread.

All Python stuff is awesome.

I always enjoyed it on Comedy Central. It always kind of annoyed me how androgynous Mitch was though.

Chris: Hey Kent, remember that time I found you naked with a bowl of jello?
Kent: I was hot and I was hungry!

My favorite quote from that movie was always ...

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

 

[spidey07]

I thought the nerd chic was cute. Plus it had lasers, who doesn't love lasers that can punch holes though buildings and trees.

Speaking of 80s movies and genius, there was an 80s movie where a kid built a real nuclear bomb as a science project and got into all kinds of trouble for it, great flick.

One of my favorite movies that I watch from time to time if I'm really bored.

Oh sure, I tell you, then you tell somebody else, and the next thing you know, we're in the middle of another ice age.

Eh - I never really noticed... I was too infatuated with JORDAN. I thought she was cute/hot (I have a thing for short dark hair/dark eyes). Oh Michelle Meyrink, whatever became of you?

[Chris Knight is trying to hit on Susan, a beautiful woman he finds in Professor Hathaway's house]
Chris Knight: So, if there's anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you, you just let me know.
Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?
Chris Knight: Not right now.
Susan: A girl's gotta have her standards.
[She walks out]



Chris Knight: Moles and trolls, moles and trolls, work, work, work, work, work. We never see the light of day. We plan this thing for weeks and all they want to do is study. I'm disgusted. I'm sorry but it's not like me, I'm depressed. There was what, no one at the mutant hamster races, we only had one entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later. Why do I bother?


Chris Knight: Don't eat that!
Chris' Girl at Party: Why?
Chris Knight: Don't you know that eating that stuff can give you very large breasts?
[looks down]
Chris Knight: Oh, my God! I'm too late!

Kelly Lebrock was soo hot in that movie:wub:

 

[Jeffg010]

My favorite part was the burned out dude in the basement all he did was read a computer screen of 1101 0101 0100 1101 0001 1010 0101 01010 1010 1011 0101 10101 01011 01010 Then later in the move they used him to hack the computer system and the computer screen just had regular code and started to freak out then it switched to 0101 and he was like oh cool.

 

[dainthomas]

Dr. Hathaway: Is Mitch by any chance adopted?
Mrs. Taylor: Why, no!
Dr. Hathaway: Amazing!
Mrs. Taylor: Isn’t it?
