Movie of the Week (An American Werewolf in London)

1981 a year for great classic movies. An American Werewolf in London, Superman II, and Clash of the Titans. All of these movies hold long lingering memories of childhood sleep over parties. They are all filled with great, quotable lines than anyone can toss in to any conversation. For example, If you want to warn someone of impending danger you could say, "Beware the Moors, keep to the road." or if you some says "Oh God" in front of you, you could say, "No...Zod" If two people are arguing in front of you...you could say "A titan versus a titan."
There is a particularly funny line in American Werewolf where David is trying to get arrested in Trafalgar Square while everyone is ignoring him. "Queen Elizabeth's a man...Shakespeare was French..." i find that a particularly funny insult.
