Arguably the number 1 movie for these fantastically rib tickling quotes comes from the 2004 film, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy where Ferrell plays a self obsessed San Diego news anchor opposite Christina Applegate. Applegate playing rival woman news reader Veronica Corningstone is determined to break the sexist, chauvinistic world of male news reading and becomes Ron Burgundy’s co-anchor sparking fierce opposition from the rest of the team.
