They Live

Galaxy Quest

Mommie Dearest

A Few Good Men

Jerry McGuire

Just an FYI, Loews Cineplex is showing Ferris Bueller this Thursday night. I sadly can't go.

Dazed and Confused!!!!

Plus, all of the Marx Brothers movies. (Well, most of them).

Digging up quite an old thread, but I have to add "40 Year Old Virgin" to the list for the following lines:

"You know how I know you're gay? I saw you make a spinach dip in a sourdough bread." (Funny on a personal level because I debated doing just that for a recent party)

"She's my ho...fo sho."

"Me so horny, ME SO STUPID!"

That's Casablanca

Ferris Bueller's Day Off...

"Bueller? Bueller? Anybody?...Bueller?"

Hmmm, How on Earth did I miss this topic???

Must be gettin' old in my middle age!

<"40's are the new 30's" . . . my fuckin' ass the hell they are!!!!>

Anyway here are five of many:

1. (AND I'M SHOCKED THAT NO ONE IN THIS POSTING MENTIONED IT . . .) APOCALYPSE NOW (REDUX) : I mean -- is everybody high???!! How in the Hell do you NOT put this film on the list???!!
Have we all forgotten these masterpeices:

" Saigon... shit; I'm still only in Saigon... Every time I think I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle. When I was home after my first tour, it was worse. I'd wake up and there'd be nothing. I hardly said a word to my wife, until I said "yes" to a divorce. When I was here, I wanted to be there; when I was there, all I could think of was getting back into the jungle. I'm here a week now... waiting for a mission... getting softer; every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter."
Still one the finest opening montages and opening lines ever created for film

"Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another."

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end... "

"Charlie don't surf!"

"The horror... the horror..."

God-damnit, how I love that fucking movie.

2. Goldfinger
"James Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Auric Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."
"Auric Goldfinger: Choose your next witticism carefully Mr. Bond, it may be your last."
"[after knocking a lamp into a bathtub to electrocute a bad guy]
James Bond: Shocking! Positively shocking!"

3. The Sting
"Lieutenant William Snyder: Nobody. I just know what kind of woman he likes. Going to check all the joy houses till I find him.
Billie: Oh, well maybe I could help you, if you tell me his name.
Lieutenant William Snyder: I doubt it. Which way are the rooms?
Billie: Right through there. But I wouldn't go in there if I were you.
Lieutenant William Snyder: What you are going to do, call the cops?
Billie: I don't have to. You'd be busting in on the Chief of Police just up the hall."
"Floyd: Doyle, I KNOW I gave him four THREES. He had to make a SWITCH. We can't let him get away with that.
Doyle Lonnegan: What was I supposed to do - call him for cheating better than me, in front of the others?"
"Johnny Hooker: Luther said I could learn some things from you. I already know how to drink."
"Kid Twist: Now how do you want to work this? Flat rate or percentage?
Benny Garfield: Who's the mark?
Kid Twist: Doyle Lonnegan.
Benny Garfield: Flat rate."

4. il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly)
"Tuco: When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk."
"Tuco: You want to know who you are? Huh? Huh? You don't, I do, everyone does... you're the son of a thousand fathers, all bastards like you."Tuco: [shouting] Hey, Blond! You know what you are? Just the greatest son-of-a-b . . .!"

5. Full Metal Jacket
"Private Joker: Are those... live rounds?
Private Gomer Pyle: Seven-six-two millimeter. Full . . . metal . . . jacket."
"Private Joker: My thoughts drift back to erect nipple wet dreams about Mary Jane Rottencrotch and the Great Homecoming Fuck Fantasy. I am so happy that I am alive, in one piece. In short: I'm in a world of shit... yes. But I am alive. And I am not afraid."
"Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human, fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?"
"Da Nang Hooker: Hey, you got girlfriend Vietnam? Me so horny. Me love you long time."
"Private Eightball: What we have here, little yellow sister, is a magnificent specimen of pure Alabama Blacksnake. But it ain't too goddamned beau coup."

Honourable Mention: The Wild Bunch
"Pike Bishop: We're not gonna get rid of anybody. We're gonna stick together, just like it used to be. When you side with a man, you stay with him. And if you can't do that, you're like some animal, you're finished. We're finished. All of us."

Finally I leave you with this little notation from Full Metal Jacket. Something I think perhaps the troops say just before they go to bed for the night in Iraq . . .

"This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen."

ok, these are embarrassing, but quotable:

Airplane 1 and 2 (see them...)
Star Trek Movies (don't make fun)
Gone With The Wind (make fun)
Shakespeare movies (ok, I'm cheating, I know)
Ghostbusters

I don't mean I quote these, but I can think of phrases from all these movies that have entered our cultural lexicon.

See Airplane for great comedic acting...

Here are my five (for what it's worth):

1. Casablanca. ("Let's make it ten...I'm just a poor corrupt official." & ("Throwing away woman like that. Some day they may be scarce" -- or something like that.) Louie is the best.
2. Clockwork Orange. (More wine?)
3. Cool Hand Luke. ("Sometimes nothin' is a real cool hand."
4. All About Eve ("Everybody has a heart...except for some people.")
5. last, but not least: The Godfather (parts I and II only).

Honorable mention: Lou Costello and Lon Chaney, Jr. (as the Wolfman) in "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein."

Chaney: "Wilbur, you don't understand. Everytime a full moon comes out, I turn into a wolf."
Costello: "Yeah, you and three million other guys."
