Swingers (1996)

In Doug Liman's original and low-budget comic drama:

• the many quotable lines ("You're so money and you don't even know it!" - using money as an adjective meaning 'to be indisputably correct' or 'utterly gorgeous')
• the lounge-hopping and pick-up efforts of five party-animal, show business wannabes in the singles scene - both in LA and Vegas
• the use of the Jaws theme music to identify the predatory 'sharks' at a bar picking up on women
• the discussion about their most favorite moments in movies like GoodFellas (1990) and Reservoir Dogs (1992)
• the in-jokes about how: "Everybody steals from everybody, that’s Hollywood"
• Trent Walker's (Vince Vaughn) advice on how to pick up women: ("All I do is stare at their mouths and wrinkle my nose, and I turn out to be a sweetheart")
• the excruciatingly funny, but agonizing strike-out scene of aspiring, wanna-be NY stand-up comedian Mike Peter's (screenwriter-actor Jon Favreau) repeated phone calls to new LA acquaintance Nikki's (Brooke Langton) answering machine: ("This is Nikki. Leave a message") whom he had just met in a bar, when it cut him off as he left his phone number, and how he excused himself for his repeated phone calls and messages by stating: "I don't want you to think I was weird or desperate..." - and her live retort to his calls: "Don't ever call me again"; the scene covered all the various emotions that come to play in a male/female relationship
