13. "I Am Kind Of A Loser, Like You" - Venom

Venom wasn't a great movie and in fact played host (heh) to some pretty horrendous one-liners, namely that unforgivable "turd in the wind" gag.

But the chemistry between Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and the symbiote (also Tom Hardy) was ultimately the highlight, and their back-and-forth banter was good for at least a few laughs.

The best line in the movie occurs when Venom explains to Eddie that he's starting to like Earth and plans to stick around for a while. He tells Eddie, "I have decided to stay. On my planet I am kind of a loser, like you. But here, we could be more."

There's something subversive about taking this iconic comic book monster and reinventing him as an emotionally unstable teenager with clear self-esteem issues. These two losers deciding to hang together is almost, dare we say, sweet?
