You'll rue the day!

I regularly use that in depositions and in court. It is so funny to read the transcripts later.

Every once in a while, someone else in the room gets the reference and starts laughing.

Another goofy 80's movie similar to Real Genius that I liked as a kid:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090305/

Weird Science

I love Weird Science, but Real Genius is a zillion times more quotable.

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

And statue heads.

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.

The Manhattan Project (1986)

Feh...

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?

Had great parts in Valley Girl in 1983, Revenge of the Nerds in 1984 and eventually quit acting by 1988.

She was the John Cazale of comedy movies, without the cancer and death.

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.

She quit acting, got married, and had kids.

Kent! This is God speaking... have you been touching yourself?

 

[DAPUNISHER]

"I guess it goes from God to Jerry to You.... To the Cleaners. Huh Kent?"

 

[Genx87]

Late 70s and 80s comedy is genius. So simple yet so funny.

btw this movide is hilarious. But I cant help but look at the kid who plays the young genius and think Sarah Jessica Parker lol

 

[Fingolfin269]

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!

Lol I really need to watch this movie again.

Girl is a chemeleon. Not in a million years did I connect Jordan with Judy.

 

[blackdogdeek]

Lol I really need to watch this movie again.

it is a moral imperative

I liked "Top Secret!" better.

I love the part when the group of kids are studying, and the one guy gets up and starts screaming his head off, and runs out of the room, and everyone acts like nothing happened.

I love REAL GENIUS!! (My favourite 80s movie)

I love Weird Science, but Real Genius is a zillion times more quotable.

I dunno...I think WIERD SCIENCE is kinda stupid.......

Not true!

http://www.movieweb.com/news/columbia-to-remake-real-genius

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

The remake will probably be a piece of garbage!!! (I wont bother seeing it)

http://movies.popcrunch.com/the-21-greatest-comedies-of-the-80s/

That list blows! -- WHY ISNT REAL GENIUS ON IT??

I have only seen 7 movies on that list......I love all 7!

Heres the link to what that page was: http://web.archive.org/web/20090601...runch.com/the-21-greatest-comedies-of-the-80s

 

[CZroe]

Necrosis. Neceomancy. Necronomicon. Did the remake ever happen?

The Manhattan Project.

You came in second place in the "name that movie" game...

by four years (See above).

That list of '80s comedies doesn't work anymore. I remember that my brother and I liked Transylvania 6-5000 and Weekend at Bernie's when we were kids, but I haven't seen them since. They're probably awful.

 

[Sabrewings]

My favorite movie of all time. As was mentioned, so quotable.

"Look, Kent puts his name on his license plate."
"My mom does the same thing with my underwear."
"Your mom puts license plates on your underwear? How do you sit?"

"I want to see more of you around the lab."
"Ok, I'll gain weight."

"Do you run, Knight?"
"Only when chased."
