INCONCEIVABLE! Movie Quotes That Are Part of Michigan Daily Life

I'm not exaggerating when I say my friends and I can have ENTIRE CONVERSATIONS that consist of nothing more than movie quotes. For my group of friends, the most cited source for these quips comes from a movie featuring Chelsea, Michigan's own Jeff Daniels.

The year was 1994 and I don't think Daniels or his co-star Jim Carrey had any idea just how quotable their cinematic classic Dumb and Dumber would be. An entire generation found its common ground in its love for Harry and Lloyd's adventures in Aspen, Colorado. As a result, no road trip, Big Gulp, laxative, moon landing, scooter ride, headless bird, baseball card, or missed shot can go without dropping lines from Dumb and Dumber.

Austin Powers
Tombstone

Joe Dirt
Star Wars
Finding Nemo
Forrest Gump
Pulp Fiction
and so many more
