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. We've asked some of the best in the business to contribute to The Muzing Dictionary, to create the world's deepest well of classic movie lines, with the definitions of their proper use. Feel free to borrow liberally from this site when needed, and to add any you feel are missing.
