During a campaign stop in Indiana, Ted Cruz and his team thought it would be a good idea to invoke the classic film “Hoosiers.” It all seemed like a good idea at the time– who doesn’t love “Hoosiers”? But then Cruz referred to the hoop as a “basketball ring.”
Ahh, so close. Here are some of Cruz’s other favorite movie quotes from classic films.
1. “I see deceased people.” // “The Sixth Sense”
2. “I’m James. James Bond. I’m a spy.” // “Dr. No”
3. “I’m also named Spartacus!” // “Spartacus”
4. “I’ll be back in a jiffy.”// “The Terminator”
5. “Say hello to my little friend, a gun!” // “Scarface”
6. “Quite frankly my dear, I’m not entirely sure that I even care that much at all.” // “Gone With The Wind“
7. “I’m looking at you, kid.” // “Casablanca”
8. “I’d like to order what she did.” // “When Harry Met Sally”
9. “I want to be a contender!” // “On The Waterfront”
10. “No way he’s refusing this offer!” // “The Godfather”
11. “Are you crying? There’s no crying! You can’t cry during a baseball match! “A League of Their Own”
