Trainspotting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCxgqHqakXc
“Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing
machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental
insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose
leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose
DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing,
spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing
your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to
replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to
choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got
heroin?”
Love, Actually - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAD2_MVMUlE
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General
opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that
love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons,
mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers,
as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all
messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around."
Kick Ass - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br6UaAhrdVc
“I always wondered why nobody did it before me. I mean, all those comic books, movies, TV shows. You think that one
eccentric loner would've made himself a costume. I mean, is everyday life really so exciting? Are schools and offices
so thrilling that I'm the only one who fantasized about this? Come on, be honest with yourself. At some point in our
lives we all wanna be a superhero.”
That’s not me, by the way. That's some Armenia guy with a history of mental health problems. Who am I? I’m Kick Ass.
The Duff – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQwA-kLnHBw
“For generations of high-schoolers, you could only be a jock, a geek, a princess, a bully or a basket case. But times have
changed. Jocks play video games. Princesses are on antidepressants. And geeks basically run the country. I thought we
were living in a brave new world, a place without labels. But every so often, there's that one moment in high school
that changes your perspective on everything.”
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFVLWX7eEY
“They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How
could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting
pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make
this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big
believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh, you get a nervous mother,
you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent
over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it. I do have a test today, that
wasn't bull-s--t. It's on European socialism. I mean really, what's the point. I'm not European. I don't plan on being
European, so who gives a crap if they're socialists. They could be fascist anarchists and it still wouldn't change the fact
that I don't own a car. (Singing in shower) It's not that I condone fascism or any 'ism' for that matter. Ism's, in my
opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an 'ism,' he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: 'I
don't believe in Beatles. I just believe in me.' A good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd
still have to bum rides off of people.”
