Falling Down(1993)
I will start this post stating i'm not a huge Michael Douglas fan.
With that said Falling Down is probably one of the best of its kind. Focusing on the downfall of Bill Foster's(Michael Douglas) life as a suit and tie peon trying to deliver a gift to his daughter for her birthday, even though the exwife has a restraining order. With side plots about a detective(Robert Duvall) who is on his last day of work and gets no respect from his colleagues because he became a desk cop after an on the scene accident.
Through the movie he encounters a liquor store clerk that as he calls it, overcharges the consumer. Goes to a McDonalds-esque establisment a few minutes too late, runs into gang bangers twice, stumbles into a neo-nazi's named Nick grasps inadvertantly and then ends with a bang.
Quotes:
Captain Yardley: I never liked you. You know why? You don't curse. I don't trust a man who doesn't curse. Not a "fuck" or a "shit" in all these years. Real men curse.
Nick: We're the same, you and me. We're the same, don't you see?
Bill Foster: We are not the same. I'm an American and you're a sick asshole.
Nick: Just what kind of vigilante are you?
Bill Foster: I am not a vigilante. I am just trying to get home to my little girl's birthday party and if everyone will just stay out of my way, nobody will get hurt.
Gang member 1: Whatcha doin' Mister?
Bill Foster: Nothing.
Gang member 1: Nahh, man. You're trespassing on private property.
Bill Foster: Trespassing?
Gang member 2: You're loitering too, man.
Gang member 1: That's right, you're loitering too.
Bill Foster: I didn't see any signs.
Gang member 1: [pointing at a graffiti skull] Whatcha call that?
Bill Foster: Graffiti.
Gang member 1: Nahh man, it's not fucking graffiti. That's a sign.
Gang member 2: He can't read it man.
Gang member 1: Well then I guess I'm gonna have to read it for you. It says this is fucking private property. No fucking trespassing. That means fucking you.
Bill Foster: It says all that?
Gang member 1: Yeah.
Bill Foster: Well, maybe if you wrote it in fucking English, I would fucking understand it.
Bill Foster: What are you doing to the street?
Construction Worker: We're fixing it! What the Hell does it look like?
Bill Foster: Two days ago it was fine. Are you telling me the street fell apart in two days?
Construction Worker: Well, I guess so.
Bill Foster: Pardon me, but that's bullshit. You see, I don't think anything's wrong with the street! I think you're just trying to justify your inflated budgets! I know how it works! If you don't spend the projected amount this year, you don't get the same amount next year! Now, I want you to admit, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STREET!
Construction Worker: Hey, fuck you, pal.
Go watch the movie!
