Repo Man was better than all those flicks, starting with the soundtrack.

Repo Man is indeed an awesome film, but I see it more as a monument to Punk, even though it was made in 1984.

Office Space.

I get Dazed and Confused. It's set in the 70s but it's not about the 70s. I think Linklater's reason for setting it then was just the music.

Woah, welcome back, Sheilbh.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

:cheers: Welcome, Sheilbh.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's that, but its also a coming-of-age movie, which many of the the listed flicks flail at. It ages better, tho on rewatching, Otto is more of an asshat than I remembered or am comfortable with.

On a footnote, it also passes the Bechdel test, which is surprising.
