How many of you can recite entire films from memory? When I was a kid, I used to watch movies all the friggin time at home. I practically wore through the standard editions of Star Wars and memorized them line for line. I know I can also recite half of Back to the Future, but it's dispersed throughout the movie and not really sequentially. I can also do Star Trek II. Are there any you guys could recite from memory? Useless facts, I know as it never really comes up ever, but I'm just curious.

PEACE.Monty Python and the Holy Grail was ruined for me because the first time I saw it, it was with people who could recite the movie from memory:
"We are the knights who say: Ni!"
"Thanks for ruining another joke. Would you shut the fuck up?"
Disney's Beauty and the Beast was ruined for me on opening night because I saw it with a girl who had bought the soundtrack album the week before, memorized all the songs, and sang along to every one.

When I was a kid, me and my friends could recite the dialogue to Fist of Fury and Return of the Dragon. Hell, to this day I can still recite Bruce's lines from Enter the Dragon.

Not so much anymore. But there used to be a bunch.
When I was a kid, I had a number of movies memorized. The one I knew the best was always The Breakfast Club. My favorite line was always...
"No good, goddamn, free-loading, son-of-a-bitch. Retarded, big-mouth, know-it-all, asshole, jerk."
"You forgot ugly, lazy, and disrespectful..."
"Shut up bitch! Go fix me a turkey pot pie!"
"What about you Dad?"
"Fuck you."
"No, Dad, what about you?"
"Fuck you."
"No, Dad, what about you?!"
"Fuck you!"
Ah, youth.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who's got much of Back to the Future (and II and III) etched into my brain. My brother is also a huge fan of the movies, so even lines that wouldn't seem outstanding will be used between us. Like the other day I said "I got it in my hands!" a particular way, and he picked up on it immediately.

I can recite the dialogue form Matrix Reloaded while facing away. My roomate watched that movie like twice a day, I would just sit at my computer and mouth the words.
"You?"
"Yes, me."
"Me,me,me."
"Me too."
"You always told me to stay off the freeway. "
"Yes, that is true."
"You said it was suicide. "
"Then let us hope I was wrong. "
I also made pshoooow noises during the explosions. Same with
Lord of the Rings I and II

Off the top of my head, I know I can recite:
Better off Dead
The Goonies
Back to the Future 1 & 2 and some of 3
The only one I really know is Jay and Silent Bob Strike back(perfectly i might add), but i used to know alot of them, especially animated Disney movies like Lion King and Aladdin, but have since forgot them.
The thing is, once you know it verbatim when you here people try and quote it and they do it wrong you get super pissed. NOTHING annoys me more then hearing someone who saw Jay and Silent Bob Strike back for the first time try and sing Jay's Quick-Stop song in the beginning of the movie and butcher it HORRIBLY. Shut the hell up people, you sound dumb as shit.
I can also pretty much recite ALOT of the Family Guy episodes because I have seen them hundreds of times.

I'm not that great at reciting entire movies but I do have the uncanny ability to name the title of any movie after watching just a couple of seconds of it... even if I've never seen the movie. It's pretty neat.

I could probably have a decent stab at The Matrix. I'd get things wrong, but it'd be damn close.

Some friends and I used to be able to perform The Blues Brothers and Animal House. We were so obsessed with them that we listened to them on audio tape on road trips until we were in high school.
