I've always been enamored with the idea of a nucular alvalanche. |

cellar door
The phrase is mentioned in the 2001 film Donnie Darko during a conversation between Donnie, the film's protagonist, and his English teacher, played by Drew Barrymore.
The English teacher states
''A famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that cellar door is the most beautiful " In the director's commentary Richard Kelly though unsure of the phrase's origin, mistakenly attributes the phrase to Edgar Allan Poe. It was actually J.R.R. Tolkien.
nuts.
