Topic awaiting preservation: Movies that leave you with a mental recognition (Page 1 of 1)

This is a thread for movies that you see that have a distinct reminder in real life. Like when you see Psycho and then everytime you take a shower from then on you think of that movie.

For me, I have a few.

The Ring:

Everytime I see a fuzzy screen now, I get a little startled for a second and since I've seen the movie so many times, I start to hear the sounds of the tape in my head (for a second of course).

American Pie:

I think anyone can relate to this, because now everytime someone says "And this one time," there's always someone to immediately interrupt with "AT BANDCAMP!"

Terminator 2:

For me, everytime I see a motorcycle parked somewhere it reminds me of that line Arnold says "I need your boots, your cloths, and your motorcycle."

Office Space:

Well, plain and simple, anytime I hear someone say a long and careless "Yea.........," I think of Bill Lumburgh.

I could probably think of some more but not right now. I'm curious to see what some of you might have to say.

Prying open my third eye.

Mental recognition...ok, i'll play

Any interaction with a client reminds me that Randall was right, "this job would be great if it wasnt for the fuckin customers..."

Also thanks to Mr Smith I always think that somewhere uncomfortable is the back seat of a volkswagen.

When I drive my big, primer, redneck 4x4 in traffic I am Mad Max blazing across the desert at the end of beyond thunderdome, sans the shotgun, the cool clothes and the kid with the white painted face.

When I see a really nice classic sports car I think of cameron's line in Ferris Bueller's Day Off about his dads Ferrari, "He never even drives it! He just rubs it with a diaper."

I live near a Circle K and I thank the ever wooden Keaneau Reeves in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure for the thought that, "strange things are afoot at the Circle K..."

On the rare occasion when somebody runs thier mouth a bit its suddenly Reservoir Dogs, "Are you going to bark all day little doggie or are you gonna bite?"

And on the odd chance when I happen to be questioned by the police, I remember that deep down I am Keyser Soze...

The expensive sportscar reminds me of Bad Boys "No cupholder, no back seats. This is just a shiny dick with 2 chairs in it."

Strobe lights.
Whenever I see them, I'm Ripley, wishing I hadn't activated the auto-destruct-sequence.

When I see a Japanese person, I think about Godzilla, Gamera, Gappa...

Ram...you always think about Godzilla, Gamera, etc...

Everytime I chemical burn a kiss onto my hand and then argue with my embodied split personality while blowing up credit card company hq buildings... I think of Fight Club.

Nah, I'm just kidding... I think about Fight Club in every circumstance.


It's only after we've lost everything...
That we're free to do anything...

Oddly I don't get any recognition when my dead mother makes me kill innocent women (sluts!!) or when I dress up in a human skin mask and take a chainsaw to lost yourng teens

That said I can't look at a warm apple pie

MB, you do not talk about Fight Club!

I can't look at somebody in a chair without imagining someone dancing up to them and slicing their ear off...Resevoir Dogs

And, well, math always makes me think of a pulsating brain, like in Pi.

Hmm...

omg! stop watching TV!

I just watched the Usual Suspects last night, great movie.

Anyway,

I unfortuantly saw the Shining at a very young age, I think I was 6 or seven,
and for several years after that, whenever I would go the bathroom I would
check the shower to see if that horrible lady was laying in their all gross and
ready to get me. Sometimes, still to this day, (I am now 28) I sometimes peer
into the shower warily.


.quotes.

I'm living in a world of The Simpsons. Everything is something from The Simpsons.

'DOH!

Well, I view the world in green code.

Not so much a movie but whenever I'm working in a pharmacy and we load Cephalexin into our robots I think of Roland from The Darktower books by Stephen King.

Cephalexin is the generic equivalent for Keflex.

where'd that come from man?!

right... keflex, gotcha

i can just always relate some event of the day to a scene from the Fletch movies.

~Binary is best~

Ok, I'll bite...

Sitting well dressed in a big chair feeling cooler than ice -> Michael Corleon, The Godfather
"This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers" -> same situations, but also applying to teacher at the Uni...
Recursive bad events in one day -> "I wasn't even even supposed to BE here today!!"
Sitting around with my friends burning time -> "Time for a bit of the ol' Ultra-Violence..."

Stuff like that..

If you ever read anything besides those "over 40" softcore porn mags you'd know it comes from a scene in one of the books Jason.

Bastard.

hhheeeeyyy.
dun knock the older ladies

Jason

I'll play.

To this day I can't hear the compliment of "You're too kind" without thinking "two kind of what?" (From the audience participation of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.)

Everytime I encounter something weird I hear Dorothy say "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto..."

I was on the freeway today (going to a Japanese exam) and I just started thinking about The Matrix Reloaded.

And Skaarjj, I don't always think about kaiju. It just takes up a proportionately large percentage of my thinking power (the rest is devoted to killing book nazis and writing novels about the future).

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest - reminds me of the ozone everytime ! You can almost relate characters from the film to our dear beloved inmates. Not mentioning any names !!!

Resevoir Dogs - I don't tip. I don't believe in it... (everytime I go to a restaurant and it's tipping time)

John Q - SICK!...HELP! SICK!...HELP! (everytime I deal with some corrupt doctors crap in the greenville hospital system - I even happen to have great health insurance.)

A few good men - You can't handle the truth!!! (Everytime somebody accused gets defensive)

Pulp fiction - "pigs a filthy animal, I don't eat filthy animals" - (everytime I eat pork)

man I luv movies!!! its all I do, webdev -n- movies......

my life = I have none.

Every time I have to explain something to someone, I always think: "Let me 'splain... no, is too much, let me sum up" (Inigo Montoya, bringing the recently resurrected Wesley up to speed, "The Princess Bride")

There's more, many more... but at the moment, the mental connections aren't happening. Just wait, I'll remember a ton more when I don't have access to the internet!

Oh yes, I can't look at clown dolls since I watched Poltergeist... I always think of that scene in the boy's bedroom... *shudder*

edit - tenses are very important!
