What: Moonstruck is one of the most quotable movies ever. After you watch it, I dare you to stop yourself from doing an impression of Nicholas Cage's baker-with-eyes-like-a-gypsy-who-lost-his-hand-and-his-bride.
Or maybe you'd like to attempt an impression of Cher's bookkeeper-whose-first-husband-got-hit-by-a-bus-and-she's-pretty-sure-it's-because-they-got-married-at-City-Hall.
You could also try Olympia Dukakis, John Mahoney, or Danny Aiello. Or --- ooh!--- you could do Cosmo's speech on the three kinds of pipe ("there's what you have, which is garbage"). So many delicious choices.
Representative quote: "A man understands one day that his life is built on nothing, and that's a bad, crazy day."
Bonus representative quote: "I looked the wrong way and I lost my hand. He could make you look the wrong way and you could lose your whole head!"
Representative dialogue:
"You're gonna marry my brother? Why you wanna sell your life short? Playing it safe is just about the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do. You waited for the right man the first time, why didn't you wait for the right man again?"
"He didn't come!"
"I'm here!"
"You're late!"
How to get it: Buy it, borrow it, stream it, or catch it on cable sometime.
