^^ No particular Order (except maybe Fight Club) ^^

I know there's more, but that's all I can think of right now. Where's everyone's favorite movie quotes? Here's a few from Fight Club:

&quot;This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.&quot;
&quot;The things you own end up owning you.&quot;
&quot;We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession&quot;
&quot;....we have no great war, we have no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives.&quot;
&quot;If I had a tumor I'd name it Marla.&quot;
&quot;Marla -- The scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could quite tounging it, but you can't.

Many, many good ones in this movie it's a must see. I'd recommend watching it at least twice or you won't really get it.

it's too hard to list in which order they should go in but:

1) The Matrix
2) Leon (A.K.A The Professional)
3) HEAT
4) The Fifth Element
5) Mission:Impossible

and i also like Mission:Impossible 2 cause of the action but i hate the b!itches for dumbing down the plot (Pssssst: between you and, me apparently they said the american audience were too dumb and didn't understand what was going on in the first film. but i wouldn't mention that to the yanks if i were you!)
