We watched The Cutting Edge tonight. Still holds up.

Toe pick?
Not sure if that's right lol
Dahleh-Llama@reddit
I saw Titanic for the first time last week. It's pretty good.

Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, it's bobsled time!
randoperson42@reddit (OP)
That's about the only thing I super clearly remember lmao

You want to kiss my lucky egg?

That and “I see pride! I see power! I see a badass mother who don’t take no crap from nobody!”

“Sanka, yeah dead mon?” “Ya mon”
CuriousTurtle5@reddit
Still holds up.
Illustrious-Lead-960@reddit
I still don’t know why that guy’s called Yul Brynner.

Also Sanka Coffee.
Sanka is a brand of coffee, so the writers just went with "Sanka Coffee."

I caught that, but couldn't believe that was the actual reasoning for the name...wtflmao

There was a lot more depth to it if you notice the subplot about social classes. These jokes don’t hit for us because we are too young, while they would have hit perfectly for our parents (the intended audience).

There was a famous bald actor with the same name, it's probably that surface level lol.
Antron_RS@reddit
I think they just thought it was funny?

Were you feeling very Olympic today?
I use the line on cold days all of the time!
SeasonIllustrious629@reddit
I use the John Candy line when they get to Calgary and it's freezing: "You know, they say it's not so much the heat as it is the humidity..." I've been using that line for twenty years, and I think I may have only gotten one laugh from it. But I still say it because it makes me laugh.

Sanka, ya dead?
OkPie8905@reddit
Ya mon
SidFinch99@reddit
Another John Candy classic.
randoperson42@reddit (OP)
He's actually the reason I put it on
gosuark@reddit
Literally just watched planes trains and automobiles, followed by Home Alone. He was so good at playing John Candy.
randoperson42@reddit (OP)
That's my favorite by him!
GabbyJay1@reddit
It has its moments.
PhatBoyFlim@reddit
Watched it last week!
MolassesConstant2256@reddit
If we look Jamaican, walk Jamaican, talk Jamaican and IS Jamaican, then we sure as hell better bobsled Jamaican!

???
No clue...

There’s a song that appears early in the movie called “Love You Want” by Wailing Souls. Pretty catchy and uplifting
Spartan04@reddit
Wailing Souls also did a cover of Wild Wild Life (it plays during the montage with the "bobsled" on wheels in Jamaica). It's good too but isn't on streaming from what I can tell. You can find it on YouTube though.
