Anchorman's Greatest Gift to Cinema Is How Quotable It Is | CineFix Top 100

[@lydia1634]

I have never seen this movie, but "that escalated quickly" is a regular part of my vocabulary.

[@goodmusicpodcast7368]

I really don’t see this as the Top 100 objectively greatest movies, I see this as a fascinating look into the host’s personal tastes. I’ve discovered lots of great movies through this and rediscovered some favorites I haven’t seen in a while. Keep up the good work guys!

[@otto5378]

As a San Diegan I can tell you that we still adore and quote this movie 20 years later.

Idk why, but -“It’s AnchorMAN, not AchorLADY!” always get a chuckle outta me

24:26 Is one of the funniest bits in movie history, and I'm glad it's flown under the radar and not been overplayed. I laugh hysterically EVERY time I watch it because I sometimes forget it even exists

I have always believed Ron Burgundy was born during SNL's Wake Up and Smile skit.

[@allenrubinstein3696]

I'm tellin' ya. I really look forward to the episodes on Mr. Mom, Adventures in Babysitting, Red Heat and Failure to Launch. Mediocrity is kind of my thing.

[@nicholasevangelos5443]

Did they put Forrest Gump at #1 all-time yet?

[@H3rnD1zzl3]

By far and away the most affordable line of the entire movie is “the human torch was denied a bank loan”! I will fight anyone on that! LMAO!

Thanks for confirming that we are definitely in a bizarro timeline. If this remains on the list, I look forward to seeing Dumb and Dumber at No 2 on the list.

Clint spending an hour excitedly talking about Anchorman then claiming he would strike it if he could!

[@meskin84]

I love this movie, it’s so weird differently I saw it, though. Completely different takes on exactly what was funny and, more importantly, WHY they were funny. This movie deserves to be on the list, and I’ll tell you why. Anchorman kickstarted an entire comedy sub-genre that dominated both the cinema AND home video market over the next ten years. Every single actor in this film became a household name, if they weren’t already, and the movie was an instant re-watch, in an era where re-watches would DOMINATE dorm rooms and apartments across the country. Every comedy that followed, and was successful, has Anchorman in its DNA and that alone puts it on the list.

[@MonsieurBooyah]

another great list idea: "got the most out of their budget" movies

[@ShineOnYouCD]

Ron Burgundy’s stupidity is like Michael Scott. It works because they are sincere.

[@generalhorse493]

The best part about Anchorman is how it beautifully portrayed and lampooned Male Fragility and the barriers women in the workforce face. And the worst part is how everyone seems to have forgotten that part in favor of the quotable quotes. (the quotes are awesome but that's besides the point) A full 10 years after this movie skewered Patriarchy we got Gamergate, and another 10 years after that we lost the right to Abortion and men were still flaming out hard when movies like Barbie made mild intro feminist critiques.

[@carmawarlock8455]

You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science.

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

It’s pretty quotable, but for me, the top 3 most quotable ever are: Aliens Big Lebowski Princess Bride

[@thunderb4stard80]

Aliens? I completely agree with the other 2 but I can only think of like 5 aliens quotes. Switch that with airplane or naked gun and that's my list

[@JaviVader9]

Casablanca and Star Wars are up there too

[@Meesterlijker]

Pulp Fiction

Milk was a bad choice!

[@MrMann0123]

Big question... wtf was up with the sequel. A film of the type the wife and I would hate but then we can't stop watching it... then the sequel we could barely get past the first 5mins

[@LS4Fall]

The soundtrack is awesome because Ron introduces each song from his bathtub while eating a steak

[@theonlymegumegu]

it should speak to the ubiquity of the movie that i actually haven't seen it, but i can both recognize and recite quotes from it. if ghostbusters is the most quotable comedy from the 80s, anchorman is the equivalent for the 00s

[@DM-mq6hx]

Ron Burgundy is probably a 2000s evolution of a darker 90s Robert Goulet

[@alisterfolson]

Good call. The series bears a repeat viewing with that in mind

[@phillipmcdaniels6911]

Also, I would love for you all to do one of these live and allow fan input/interaction.

[@soumikbiswasORbabai]

I am happy that the team is taking movie/films from this century considering for discussion. this is a great entry. it started with the great classic [yes, already] Parasite. Uncut Gems is a favourite [love it] but expected one. My take is on Tropic 🌴 Thunder ⛈️ now

[@solomonchilds8574]

Enjoying this series. Only get to listen when I’ve seen the film, so glad to see this episode. Not my favourite Ferrel or McKay or Apatow though

[@Gutock]

Talking to the purpose of the Top 100, it's always 100% going to be subjective so ya'll just do what you do. And, sadly, I'm afraid that Anchorman is still 100% better than Uncut Gems. Sorry not sorry.

[@Rudykawa]

I think anchorman is a movie that isn't that big outside non English speaking countries.

[@MrMann0123]

I hope Cal is okay as an ND person he was great for representation and it wasn't clear what happened last time.

[@Deraphim]

I didn’t realize this movie was so influential. Feels like for me it marks the point in my life when I started growing out of adoring Will Farrell’s zanier comedy (it’s still funny, but no longer my favorite thing)

[@Triggy6825]

What's more quotable from 2004? Anchorman or Napoleon Dynamite?

Huh. It's not even in my top 10 of quotable movies. I can only think of a few memorable lines. If you're gonna do a bit on a film for it's quotability, this isn't even close to the best example.

No? Where is he? Is he okay???

[@CoreyArsenault-c8t]

Its a top 100 comedy but not even close to a top 100 movie

[@TheSykobanana]

Cmon - youre all much better than this! You have named this the "Top 100" not 'Favourite 100' or 'Some random movies we all thought of and threw into an algorithm" I mean did anyone even try to think of good movies for the whole 100? Will Some Like it Hot be on here? Pepe le Moko? Rififi? Passion of Joan of Arc? Nosferatu? Or are just running with things that we could watch on cable? This is a sham of a list.

Absolutely. This movie is just not funny. IIRC, my wife and I walked out of the movie because it was genuinely not funny.
