Real Genius is one of my all time favourite movies.

“I think of the immortal words of Socrates when he said, “I drank what?”“

“You’ll rue the day!”
“”Rue the day”? Who talks like that?”

“Can you hammer a six-inch spike with your penis?”
“Not right now.”
“A girl’s gotta have her standards.”

Oh, it’s one of mine too… that said, the whole deal with Sherry Nugil going after Mitch (a 15-year-old) as part of her quest to lay the ten greatest minds was, while not a completely out-of-left-field plot device in 80s teen comedies [usually, it was reversed, with the teenage boy(s) going after an older woman, like with Weird Science], played as the catalyst for Mitch to finally hook up with Jordan (herself apparently in her late teens-early 20s, though much closer in age to Mitch than Nugil, and it’s played where you want to see Mitch and Jordan together) and has become more than a bit cringe-inducing in recent years.

That shit would never fly today in a mainstream movie, and for very good reason.
