Are you tired of quoting Anchorman all the time? Looking for a fresh new classic to quote to all your friends? Look no further than My Cousin Vinny, an obnoxiously quotable movie staring Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, and the Karate Kid himself, Ralph Macchio, as one of two "yutes" who find themselves in a sticky situation involving a gun, a get away car, and a can of tuna. This film also contains a scene involving one of the greatest misunderstandings in movie history, when the titular Vinny meets his cousin's fearful friend in jail. If you're looking for hard facts, keep in mind that Marisa Tomei (at the ripe age of 29) won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress with her performance here (and she totally deserved it). That last part might not be hard fact, but it's true. While Joe Pesci is the main reason to come back for seconds, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths and so on, Tomei makes a lot of the scenes work, and represents pretty much the only female character in the entire film, which she does with an unmatched attitude.
