Drop your panties, girl, I got a new supercut I want to put in you. This one comes from SlashFilm reader Derek Settler, “Reel Wisdom: Lessons from 40 Films in 7 Minutes.”
I made this video because I love films and I think there is great wisdom inherent in the film medium. This video represents some of the best wisdom from films, edited together as a single coherent piece of advice on everything from life, death, and purpose, to anger, regret, and destiny. In creating this video, I tried to feature a broad array of films, from action/adventure and sci-fi films, to dramas and traditional/CG animated films in order to show how all genres of film have something important to say. [SlashFilm]
Ew! Ew! The earnestness! It feels all slimy against my skin! I kid, but seriously, I’d probably have avoided Troy and the Star Wars prequels if I was doing the whole “movie wisdom” supercut unironically. And maybe thrown in “And then you f*ck the plant” from 40-Year-Old Virgin, or “If you blow chunks and she comes back, she’s yours,” from Wayne’s World. But I think he’s onto something with this whole “great wisdom inherent in the film medium” thing.
So much knowledge. I think my brain needs a cigarette. Thank you, Martin Lawrence.

Sometimes you eat the bar, sometimes Werner Herzog shows up with a camera.
Wow, that’s a shitload of vanilla twaddle.
This video sums up the internet.
One long, run-on sentence.

How can you discuss film wisdom and leave out both Predator and Out for Justice?
The former taught me that if it bleeds, we can kill it; while the latter taught me that you can use a corkscrew to kill William Forsythe.
“When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.” Or the greatest bit of advice ever given was to Frank Drebin after he complained he couldn’t see a goddamn thing looking through a microscope, “Use your open eye, Frank.”
Aah, “The Iron Giant,” Vin Diesel’s finest work.
Hey some times you nom the cock and some times the cock noms you.
Eh, you’d be better off spending your 7 minutes watching the far better Inspirational Speeches video three and a half times.

Wherever you go, there you are.
2Livecrew say: “Face down, ass up” before continuing, “that is the way one likes to make love”.
Outstanding. But you he left out one. From the 1986 film, Jake Speed.
Speed: “C’mon kid, snap out of it. Why do you think bad things happen anyway? So you have something good to look forward to. If everything was same-o, same-o, you’d die of boredom.”
