Wall Street - When Bud Fox walks out on to the balcony and says "Who Am I"? I sometimes laugh out loud at this line, as it seems so out of place to me. I think they really could have communicated the same notion through body language instead of literal dialogue.

Just remembered the scene after the meeting with Bud and his father and Gekko and the union heads, and the father makes a scene and storms out and gets in the elevator, and Bud chases him in there, and they have a very clunky bit of dialogue that culminates in Martin Sheen actually butchering the final line about "...must've not have been very good of a job raising you..." or something.

Watch it--you'll see.

this movie has been cited three times now - isn't it possible that this simply isn't a great movie?

i mean, hell, if we're citing oliver stone written movies, why not the 'sanitation/sanitarium' pun at the beginning of scarface, made between two cubans fresh off the boat?
