I'm afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:

2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller's Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard's seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.

Yipeee!

You know what you really need?
A committee to study the feasibility of a committee!

Oh will you look at that?

People are
talking about,
talking about,
talking about.

Some people even say!

Serving the will of The Lord! Which just so happens to be the will of the male head of the house. One and the same.

Stockholm Syndrome and they don't even know it.

"Well that does NOT look like a coincidence to me! God doesn't make mistakes!": most evangelicals, with their leave-brain-at-door-and-pick-up-your-crayons medieval "logic".

Well that was a spectacular read in your link, keep calling attention to it, 'cause it's gonna be a constant drip-drip-drip of people finding out. I didn't know, but starting today, I'm gonna experiment with SearXNG as my primary search engine, see how that goes!

MUH BEPIS!!!

Their fantasy is seeing a barefoot and pregnant woman washing dishes and who's never had an orgasm.

Phew... for a long minute there, I thought paranoia was getting the best of me, glad to see it's still the good ol' capitalist secret police state who are actually looking at me through that crack in the wall.

The uncertainty wave function under that mask wouldn't have collapsed into Patton Oswalt... until you meddling kids showed up.

Good ol' fashioned analog protocol!

Omg, I'm dying over here...!
This is the greatest use of Soyjack I've ever seen.

If I could ever do an art gallery exhibit of memes, this one has to be on it. This ticks all the Pop Art boxes. Andy Warhol would have been deeply fascinated by the meme format.

Are you collapsing the wave function again?
I keep telling you that when you high af, you are one step closer towards becoming an observer, you see what I'm saying? If you weren't high af you wouldn't even be looking at it, or looking for it.

Stop collapsing the wave function, dammit! Some of us are trying to sleep over here!

General Kenobi!

Hey, you keep your dirty government hands off my Medicare, you hear?

The Infallibility Myth baffles me. What's that all about?

It's like they cranked up the marketing, cult-of-personality bullshit to see how high it could go... and it didn't have a limit, they were able to brainwash a lot of people with the most preposterous stuff, and they couldn't help themselves, they just HAD to make their head a demigod.

"Me perfect in paradise, you utter dogshit capitalist."
What is this, a first grader having a schoolyard fight?

Then there's Mao. Not quite a demigod, but not quite human either. His myth covering a much larger area and population, so they had to make the myth a little bit subtler. But not by much.

Some people are into Depp. For whatever inexplicable reason.

Poetry needs more physicists who understand poetry, too!
In this case we end up with things getting called fun names like "quarks" instead of W- Boson and arid things like that.

If you drive down Baja California, with Ensenada behind you as you keep going due south, you will start encountering a few stands and roadside restaurants here and there that always seem to have crab burritos on the menu. Some of these are thick with meat, also all the usual finely-chopped vegetables found in shredded beef machaca common in northern Mexico cuisine.

When crabmeat burritos are on the menu, I know I'm south of Ensenada, near the boundary with that mythical, mystical, wild desert Baja. That sensation and flavor combo go hand-in-hand in me.

EDIT: these places also usually make some killer huevos rancheros, too, some places accompany them with side helping of chorizo made with abalone or sea-snail.

I feel like there's a bunch of parallel narratives to be unwoven here, and I'm hearing many of them at the same time.
My compliments to the meme chef.
