Movies have always been the great American escape from everyday life. Whether you want to cry from laughter with a new comedy or to think your head off with a drama, anyone can quote their favorite movie. I know every age group has their favorite classics but I figured millennials like myself would take the realm for this one. It must be noted, though, that I’m biased and have my own reasoning for my list. Leave a comment if your favorites didn’t make the cut!
12. Grandma's Boy
As I mentioned I’m biased for this listicle and there’s no way this one wasn’t getting cut off. It’s actually ranked higher in my books, but I figured the haters for this one could handle this. If you like smoking weed, video games and all of Adam Sandler’s best friends then odds are you’ll love this one.
Notable quotes:
“Dude, your bed is a car…
Yeah, but it’s a fucking sweet car.”
“Your ass is tanner than my face.”
“Don’t judge me Monkey.”
“Who wants to hear about my STD from the silent film era?”
11. The Princess Bride
This movie is a classic. This is for the older millennials but you youngins need to give this one a shot if you haven’t already.
Notable quotes:
There’s only one that needs mentioning.
“My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!”
10. Old School
This movie set the career of both Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn off.
Notable quotes:
“Frank the Tank!”
“You my boy, Blue.”
“Six weeks ago Abdul here had a one-way ticket to an arranged marriage with a broad he never met in Bangladesh. Now he's crushing ass every Thursday night at our mixers.”
“You’re crazy, man. I like you, but you’re crazy.”
9. The Matrix
This movie was legendary for its time. If you don’t like it then scroll on.
Notable quotes:
“You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."
“Mr. Anderson.”
“What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?”
“Free your mind.”
8. Beerfest
These guys are better known for Super Troopers, but I think this one is way better -- especially for quotes.
Notable Quotes:
“Gosh, Barry, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what I would do if someone shoved a paddle handle up my ass...
It wasn’t the handle. I’ve been shitting pancakes ever since.”
“It was ze greatest beer in all ze vorld!”
“Landfill #2, you are twice the man Landfill #1 was!”

“Steve’s got the eye of the Jew.”
“What is the word I’m looking for? WHORE!”
“SLUT FOR MONEY!”
“How many licks does it take to get to the center?”
“DAS BOOT!”
7. Billy Madison
Adam’s first of many classics.
Notable quotes:
“T-T-T-TODAY, JUNIOR!”
“Who would you rather bone, Meg Ryan or Jack Nicholson…
Jack Nicholson now or 1974…
74…
Meg Ryan.”
“You ain’t cool unless you pee your pants.”
“You know something, YOU SUCK!”
6. The Big Lebowski
I have yet to see this one, but I’ve heard enough people quote it to know it should be on the list. Hopefully, my research meets fan requirements.
Notable quotes, allegedly:
“Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.”
“He’s a good man, and thorough.”
“Obviously you’re not a golfer.”
“This is not ‘Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.”
“Do you have to use so many cuss words?...
What the fuck you talking about?”
“Nobody fucks with the Jesus.”
Sorry for the vulgarity, but I’m officially inspired to watch this one now...
5. Dumb and Dumber
This movie never gets old. Younger millennials may or may not care for this one but respect is due no matter your age.
Notable quotes:
“So you’re telling me there’s a chance!”
(I use this one way too much, hence why I’m still single..)
“You can’t triple stamp a double stamp.”
“I’m going to hang by the bar, put out the vibe.”
“Nice set of hooters you got there.”
“One time we matched a bulldog with a Shih-Tzu. We named it bullshit.”
“I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.”
4. Happy Gilmore
This is my favorite Adam Sandler movie. Nuff said.
Notable quotes:

Some movies never get old, and this is one of them.

“I pleasured myself this evening to the image of you punching my husband.”
“Did we just become best friends?...
Yep!...
Want to go into the garage and do karate?”
Yep!”
2. Forest Gump
This movie is an all-time great. The simplicity yet profound aspects Steven Spielberg captures is just one reason why this is a classic, thus the many quotes to come from it.
Notable quotes:
“Like is like a box of chocolates. Never know what you’re gonna to get.”
“Stupid is as stupid does.”
“I love you, Jenny.”
“Run, Forrest, Run!”
“Congratulations, how do you feel?...
I gotta pee.”
“Me and Jenny goes together like peas and carrots.”
“I’m sorry I had to fight in the middle of our Black Panther party.”
“Seat's taken!”
“Momma said these are my running shoes. She said they’d take me anywhere.”
1. Anchorman
This movie is still my favorite comedy of all time. It’s rare when a film can gather all of the best comedic actors and make them all work so well together.
Notable quotes:
“Boy, that escalated quickly.”
“I’m in a glass case of emotion!”
“I read somewhere their periods attract bears.”
“What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole wheel of cheese? How’d you do that? Heck, I’m not even mad; that’s amazing.”

“There were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.”
“I’m very important. I have leather-bound books and my apartment smells like rich mahogany.”
“Its anchorman, not anchorlady. And that’s a scientific fact.”
“Milk was a bad choice.”
“I would like to send you an invitation to the pants party.”
“You are a smelly pirate hooker.”
“I immediately regret this decision.”
As aforementioned this list is fairly biased but at the same time I did a little research to accommodate my own preferences. Hear is a minor list of some notable mentions I decided not to use.
The Hangover
Clueless
The Office
Mean Girls
Super Troopers
Christmas Vacation
Sandlot
Good Will Hunting
Zoolander
Pulp Fiction
Waterboy
And pretty much any other Adam Sandler movie before 2010.
