Name That Movie!

As I have murdered most of the English language at The-reviewer.net, Brian Leaf, word genius and all around wonderful author decided I might need a little help.  So he is sending me a copy of his newest book Name That Movie!  A Painless Vocabulary Builder.  Not only is he sending me a book but he is going to send one to one of you lucky readers!  All you have to do is comment below with your favorite word used in a movie and the line that it was used in.  If you want to get fancy on us, drop the definition of the word as well, but that is not required.  On Friday Dec 17th, I will use Random.org to pick a random number and you will be our winner!  Just so you know my favorite word is superfluous used in Pirates Of The Caribbean.  

"Jack Sparrow: It's a fine goal, to be sure. But it seems to me… that a ship like that one, makes this one here seem a bit superfluous, really."
