One of my favorite 80's movies would be Top Gun starring Tom Cruise as Maverick. One of my favorites lines from the film is where Maverick finds himself in class to be taught about Russian MiG fighter capabilities. Having been a part of dogfight with a MiG himself, he interrupts the instructor to dispute the claims made about the airplane's fighting capabilities. It goes something like this "The data on the MiG is inaccurate." Muted laughter from his classmates ensues. To tie the movie in here: "The data on available lots in Lawrence is inaccurate. . . "
