BOS - Shrevie from Diner.

Such a great movie, so many great lines.

Agree completely. I identify with the Shrevie character in that film more than any of the others. GREAT film, I probably watch it once every 8 months or so.

And like Dazed & Confused would a decade later, it gave us our first looks at a number of notable (but not necessarily great) actors. Diner=Mickey Rourke, Paul Reiser, Kevin Bacon, Michael Tucker, Ellen Barkin, Steve Guttenberg, Timothy Daly.

Dazed & Confused: Ben Affleck, Matthew McConnaughey, Parker Posey, Milla Jovovich

D&C also gave us Adam Goldberg, star of the immortal Hebrew Hammer!

Ah, I didn't realize he'd gotten a more prominent role. I only remember in a recurring bit part on Friends a few years back. And his sidekick from D&C, Anthony Rapp, has had some pretty good stage roles (or so I've read.)

Also Marisa Ribisi is Giovanni Ribisi's sister, but that's stretching it.

One line among many:  

Paul Reiser:  That's what it is! It's the whole left side of the menu!

(the guys are looking at the big guy in the next booth who is pigging out)

Okay, one more:

Timothy Daly:  I'll hit you so hard I'll kill your whole family!

(He & Guttenberg are spending the night in jail courtesy of Kevin Bacon's antics & another inmate won't stop hassling Daly)
