Quote:
[ ] 99 Homes - "Don't be soft. Do you think America gives a flying rat's ass about you or me? America doesn't bail out the losers. America was built by bailing out winners. By rigging a nation of the winners, for the winners, by the winners."
[ ] Black Mass - "It's not what you do, it's when and where you do it, and who you do it to or with. If nobody sees it, it didn't happen."
[ ] Creed - "Time takes everybody out. Time's undefeated."
[ ] The Hateful Eight - "That's the trouble with old people. You can push 'em down the stairs and pretend it's an accident, but you just can't shoot 'em."
[ ] The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - "Once upon a time there was a little boy. You wouldn't describe him as a particularly special little boy. He was neither tall, nor handsome, charismatic or amusing. In fact, he appeared to be exceedingly dull. Because of this boy's apparent shortcomings, he was bullied mercilessly and relentlessly by the other children. Year merged with miserable year, as life continued to be a living hell. But what the other boys didn't understand about their victim was that he didn't see them as enemies. He saw them as instruments of learning. A priceless lesson was gleaned from his tormentors: Man has only two masters in this world, and their names are pain and fear. The boy found that he had quite a talent for eliciting these feelings in others. So, on the principle of playing to your strengths, he decided to make their cultivation his life's work. Fortunately for this boy, history gave him an unprecedented opportunity... a World War. A canvas, Mr. Solo, on which he would produce his greatest work."
[ ] The Martian - "I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this."
[ ] Sicario - "Nothing will make sense to your American ears, and you will doubt everything that we do... but in the end you will understand."
[ ] Steve Jobs - "I sat in a fucking garage with Wozniak and invented the future, because artists lead and hacks ask for a show of hands!"
[ ] Trumbo - "What the imagination can't conjure, reality delivers with a shrug."
[ ] Winter on Fire - "No one can make a free person kneel."
Tagline:
[ ] Ant-Man - "Heroes don't get any bigger."
[ ] Concussion - "Nothing hits harder than the truth."
[ ] Creed - "Your legacy is more than a name."
[ ] The Gift - "The sins of the past will become your present."
[ ] The Hateful Eight - "No one comes up here without a damn good reason."
[ ] It Follows - "It doesn't think. It doesn't feel. It doesn't give up."
[ ] Mad Max: Fury Road - "What a lovely day."
[ ] Sicario - "The border is just another line to cross."
[ ] Spring - "Love is a monster."
[ ] Trumbo - "Are you now or have you ever been..."

Most Underrated Film:
A film that did not receive a wide release, was unsuccessful at the box office, was not nominated for any major awards or receive acclaim at any major film festivals, and was generally unknown to mainstream audiences at the time of its release... but was well-liked by most critics and audiences that did happen to see it.
