==Culture== According to Richard Harris, a psychology professor at [[Kansas State University]] who studied why people like to cite films in social situations, using film quotes in everyday conversation is similar to telling a joke and a way to form solidarity with others. "People are doing it to feel good about themselves, to make others laugh, to make themselves laugh," he said. He found that all of the participants in his study had used film quotes in conversation at one point or another. "They overwhelmingly cited comedies, followed distantly by dramas and action adventure flicks." Horror films, musicals and children's films were hardly ever cited.<ref name="www.cnn.com">{{cite news| first=A | last=Pawlowski|title=You talkin' to me?
