Top Gun (1986)
I feel the need, the need for speed. It’s time to buzz the tower, before we call the ball. Top Gun has inspired us to take on new call signs and take off our shirts for volleyball. Don’t let the hair fool you, we’re dangerous, sweaty, and inverted.

The Big Lebowski (1998)
Sometimes theres man. Not a hero, but a man. Ah F**k it dude. Let’s go bowling. The chronicled tale of the Dude is both pointless and imperative. A movie wrapped in its own feelings more than it’s own story. So let’s pack a ringer with our whites, mix up
