You've probably never thought of the movie Speed as a masterpiece of philosophy, but it is. Oh, it is. In addition to preventing the bus from traveling slower than 50 mph, Keanu Reeves' character asks his partner repeatedly, "What would you do?"

iirc it is "What DO you do?" Wtf kind of opening to a feature on grammar nazis is that anyway? Jesus christ.

Speed 2 is better. There's a cruise boat that somehow crashes into this picturesque tropical town, killing a whole bunch of people.
