142. Always look on the bright side of life: Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979): Poor Brian. He was being crucified for being the messiah (I AM NOT THE MESSIAH)! The others being crucified with him strike up a song...life's a piece of shit, when you look at it...
143. You Look Like: A Hard Day’s Night (1964): A brief interlude during the film has John and a lady going back and forth. She could not quite place John. As he's leaving, he claims, "She looks more like him than I do."
144. The War is Over: The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976): Set after the Civil War, but analogous to Vietnam, Wales goes on a killing spree to avenge his pain. At the end of the film, Wales runs into an old friend, Fletcher (John Vernon). Fletcher tells him that the war is over. Wales (Clint Eastwood) responds, "I guess we all died a little in that damn war." That sums up America in the aftermath of Vietnam.
145. The Vendetta Ride: Tombstone (1993): This is what we should have done in Afghanistan.
