The practice of dropping the right movie quote to perfectly describe a real world scenario has been around for decades. The response for those of us with the biggest library of classic "muzings" at their disposal can range from a nod of respect to outright applause in the right social situation.

Feel free to borrow liberally from this site when needed, and to add any you feel are missing.

Movie: Christmas Vacation
