5. THE BIG SICK (Dir. Michael Showalter)
Terry: “No what’s your, what's your stance?”
Terry (Ray Romano): “So, uh, 9/11…No I mean, I’ve always wanted to have a conversation with…about it. With…people.”
Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani): “You’ve never talked to people about 9/11?”
Terry: “No what’s your, what's your stance?”
Kumail: “What’s my stance on 9/11? Oh um, anti. It was a tragedy, I mean we lost 19 of our best guys. (awkward pause) That was a joke, obviously. 9/11 was a terrible tragedy. And it’s not funny to joke about it.”
4. THE DISASTER ARTIST (Dir. James Franco)
Tommy Wiseau (James Franco): “I did not hit her. It’s not true. It’s bullshit. I did not hit her. I did not. Oh, hi Mark.”
3. DUNKIRK (Dir. Christopher Nolan)
Mr. Dawson (Mark Rylance): “Men my age dictate this war. Why should we be allowed to send our children to fight it?”
2. THE SHAPE OF WATER (Dir. Guillermo del Toro)
Giles (Richard Jenkins): “Would I tell you about her? The princess without voice. Or perhaps I would just warn you, about the truth of these facts. And the tale of love and loss. And the monster, who tried to destroy it all.”
1. GET OUT (Dir. Jordan Peele)
Dean Armitage (Bradley Whitford) confiding with his daughter's new boyfriend Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya): “By the way, I would have voted for Obama for a third term if I could. Best president in my lifetime. Hands down.”
