These are the quotes Ranker has in their system for Woody Allen, one of the most brilliant comedic minds of our time.

Patrick Swayze went out fighting on September 14th, 2009 after an extended bout with pancreatic cancer. That rare kind of movie star, both a lover and a fighter, taught a generation of men and women to love and kick ass in equal measure. To quote Dalton, "Pain don't hurt," but losing a loved one and a mentor causes that rare kind of anguish that even the world's most efficient bouncer couldn't take lying down. Since his fans can neither rip out cancer's larynx nor stand up to its snobbery in the Catskills, the best we can do is remember Swayze's cinematic accomplishments, both good and, let's be fair, not quite so very good at all, really. Here is our humble tribute.

<i>Bruno</i> hit theaters, so that means everybody and their mothers will suddenly start quoting lines in a poor effort to imitate Sacha Baron Cohen’s exaggerated Austrian nancy boy (except for your little brother…he always talked queer anyways).
While quotable comedies are certainly good fun, nothing is more irritating than those who find it necessary to endlessly spew movie lines like a frat boy who projectile vomits pizza at 3 in the morning. The following list pays homage to those regurgitated lines of yore—the comedies that everyone in the world has seen a gazillion times, yet they still somehow compel us to act out scenes like a drunken parrot. Yes--that’s right--nothing is less unique and irritating than the overused movie quote. I mean, I wouldn’t be caught dead doing something so completely unoriginal and cliché. Speaking of which, you know what else is really annoying? Airplane food. I mean, seriously folks, what’s the deal with that?
Rank the most annoying movies at the top.

As Nick Gregorio (an esteemed cohost on the Geekscape Podcast) so eloquently stated a while back on the show, “Hollywood is raping us.” He was, of course, referring to the mining of childhood intellectual properties and memorable franchises in order to make a quick buck on the silver screen. This summer alone a G.I. Joe movie and a Transformers sequel are barging their way into theaters with the tasteful subtlety that only Stephen Sommers and Michael Bay could provide.
Well, the following list proves that Hollywood is not just raping us, but is in fact taking us forcibly by the balls and showering us in a proverbial all-night bukkake of youthful nostalgia and soulless greed. These are the movies in development that will make you question the existence of a higher power. Movies that will make you believe that studio executives are truly nothing more than empty yes-men who are both illiterate and addicted to cocaine. Movies that quite simply make you want to stand up and scream, “F-ck my life!” So, fellow cinemagoers, lets strap on our safety helmets and journey into this putrid developmental abyss together.

There's not a single person born between 1975 and 1995 whose life wasn't somehow affected by the great writer/director that the world lost on this August 6th of 2009. The man I speak of is, of course, John Hughes. As soon as news broke, I sent text messages to my friends informing them of this terrible news only to be upset by the large amount of responses that simply said "who?"
This is a list about what we find to be the most empowering, touching, or simply well loved moments in a great man's even greater career. But more importantly, the list is for John Hughes... a man who even at the age of 59 understood what it was like to be a teenager more than any person out there.

This year at Comic-Con 2009, Joss Whedon was in attendance. This made me nostalgic for the years in which his Wonder Woman was not only rumored, but actually in the works. Since the demise of that, I remembered that a while ago I read that Beyonce is publically lobbying for the highly contested role of Wonder Woman in the upcoming DC Comics/Warner Brothers production, I admit that I recoiled a little.
Beyonce? Seriously? Sure, I’ve been known to belt “Crazy in Love” from the privacy of my car (and maybe at the occasional karaoke bar), but Beyonce’s no actress. And it takes more than extreme hotness to do justice to Lynda Carter’s iconic role. So, studio execs, before you fit Beyonce for a red bathing suit, please consider some of these other choices.
We asked the Geekscape team what they thought and here's what they brought to the table...

When people need a quick way to prove their intelligence, they often like to show off their amazing taste in movies to others. Usually, conversations like this are the centerpiece of bad cocktail parties (frequently nestled in between stale hors d'oerves and an unbarable game of charades). The following list contains a bunch of movies that smart people talk about. Ironically, there’s a 1 in 5 chance that these people have never actually seen these movies (there’s also a 4 in 5 chance that statistic is completely made up).
Oh, and before some sanctimonious a-hole gets all upset with me. Yes, I’ve seen every movie on this list. And yes, I’m better than you. That’s why I’m holding this pipe and wearing this smoking jacket, you see…

Ah, douchebags. They’re everywhere—the dude at work who always gives you finger pistols when he says hello. The guy at the gym who grunts a little too loudly with every benchpress. Mark Wahlberg.
Believe it or not, douchebags actually enjoy movies. So, if you’ve ever wondered about their cinematic taste (and who hasn’t?), then keep reading. That’s right ladies and germs, slip on your striped shirt, pop that collar, and down another Jager Bomb. It’s go time, chief, and don’t you mess with me when I’m in the zone…

From http://www.geekscape.net : Alright, being as this is Geekscape, it’s kind of weird start off this whole top five extravaganza with a topic that’s all about doing the nasty, but let’s face it - sex sells and I always bring the people what they want. So, grab a bottle of wine, light some candles, and change out of your Spiderman-underoos…it’s business time (that is assuming you can actually get a girl to watch a movie with you). Let's do this:
(Some small spoilers may be present below, so don’t go whining to me when I reveal that Bruce Willis was dead the whole time…)
