#1 - Godfather - Michael Corleone explaining his father to Kay. # 2 - Lord of the Rings - Return of the King... Theoden is one of my favourite characters and that has to be my favourite line from him. The way Peter Jackson staged that whole scene and the way the character is played is simply brilliant. Right on both, duster. I used to belong to Columbia House Video years ago and the Godfather trilogy was one of the first series I purchased. I didn't waste any time buying the DVD's when they came out. I think LOTR has set the standard by which stories should be told on the big screen. IMHO, this was one the best scenes ever filmed for the big screen. The character, Theoden, is a strong king who makes men follow him. Riding along the front rank of the formation and touching each spear with his sword was a brilliant idea. I remember musical score for this scene was also bang on. Just fantastic. Cheers. |

A few more....
#1 - "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over."
# 2 - "Viddy well, little brother, viddy well."
# 3 - "I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a man who's lining up to be a hot lunch"
# 4 - "What are your legs? Springs. Steel springs. What are they going to do? Hurl me down the track. How fast can you run? As fast as a leopard. How fast are you going to run? As fast as a leopard. Then let's see you do it."
# 5 - "Muffy, meet Adolph. Adolph, EAT MUFFY!"
# 6 - "Laughter is a devilish wind which deforms the ligaments of the face and makes men look like monkeys."
# 7 - "But they showed no corrections of any kind. Not one. He had simply written down music already finished in his head. Page after page of it as if he were just taking dictation. And music, finished as no music is ever finished."
# 8 - "All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
# 9 - "Captain Howdy, do you think my mom's pretty? Captain Howdy? Captain Howdy, that isn't very nice!"
# 10 - "Not bad in here, is it? No mail, no telephone. Solid wood paneling. Well-ventilated boat. Free food, too. "Rolling in clover" we are."

Saw this one on a reel to reel, 16 mm, when I was posted to Canada House, Xeros, Cyprus (1982). The movie is Gallipoli. The Name of the Rose, Venerable Jorgi to be specific. Probably not on my list (forget now), but one of my faves for sure. Not sure of the rest. Should know #2 though. Good selection duster. Cheers. |

Have a few minutes before lunch ends. Try these out:
#1. "AND THEY USED BONAMI!!!!"
#2. "The only things to come out of Oklahoma are steers and queers. I don't see no horns, boy, so you must be queer."
#3. " ... pork bellies, which are used to make bacon, which you may find in a bacon, tomato and lettuce sandwich."
#4. "... If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone."
#5. "As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster."
#6. "I love it. I give you 30 million dollars and you give me this little book."
Back to work.
Cheers.

#5. "As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." Goodfellas ? #2. "The only things to come out of Oklahoma are steers and queers. I don't see no horns, boy, so you must be queer." . I know a similar line was in Full Metal Jackett but I'm not sure if it's exactly that... |

That's it Doc. Good flick too. Will check in later. Cheers. ...The speech from Pesci to Liotta in that movie was so intense...: ...you think I'm a clown, I'm here to amuse you...Try these quotes: 1- Does Barry Mannilow know that you raided his wardrobe?2- You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig3- Granddaddy used to handle snakes in church, Granny drank strychnine. I guess you could say I had a leg up, genetically speaking |

I know a similar line was in Full Metal Jackett but I'm not sure if it's exactly that...[/quote] Wasnt' FMJ, though good guess. Actually, I saw this movie when I was in Cyprus too (16 mm, reel to reel). Another quote from the same movie: "... He was right. I was here for everybody but me. I was here for my big brother." One of Mrs. Dis' faves, Doc. Cheers. |

off the top of my head
# 2 is from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". In my opinion, the best Western ever made.
# 3 is from "Cape Fear"... DeNiro in yet another terrific role

#1 is spoken by "John Bender" to "Dick" the principal in "The Breakfast Club".
A fine movie...but something always bugs me whenever I catch a bit of it on TV. I think it's the fact that almost every stereotype just happens to have a detention that day. Bad boy, preppy girl, jock, bookworm, odd girl (who gets a makeover from preppy girl).
Add an over-the-top a-hole principal and a friendly, wise custodian.

Just a few more. All war movies. Couple of paraphrases in there:
#1. ... Corsey, I send you out to map the f*ckin' jungle and you come back with a bunch of sick looking d*nks!!!
#2. ... That was ludicrous! You're jumping from an aeroplane, not a whorehouse window. Do it again.
#3. ... Police up your spare rounds and frags. Don't leave nothin' for the d*nks.
#4. ... Well, sir, seems to me, God gave me a special gift, fashioned in me a fine instrument of warfare.
#5. ... be quite now Mr. Witt, will you ... you'll upset the lads ... there's a good gentleman

#3 is from the character Willem dafoe plays in Platoon.
I think #4 is from that sniper in Saving Private Ryan.
P.S. in terms of hilarious quotes in war movies, the drill sgt in FMJ has to be a gold mine of it...

Here is my favourite movie quote. It is a conversation between a psychiatrist and a patient.
"Q: How do you know you're God?
A: Simple. When I pray to Him, I find I'm talking to myself. "

P.S. in terms of hilarious quotes in war movies, the drill sgt in FMJ has to be a gold mine of it... Right on both counts, Doc. Incidently, the drill sgt in FMJ almost didn't get the part. Apparently, they had him read some lines at his audition and didn't think he could sell it. When he was told that he went into his character right away. He had the part after that. I read somewhere that his rank in the Marines was E7 or Gunnery Sgt. However, there are some web sites I can't access because of the filters here at work. I'll confirm this later tonight. Cheers. |

1. Anyone?
2. Anti-wrinkle cream there may be, but anti-fat-bastard cream there is not.
3. Birdie Num Num
4. Does the noise in my head bother you?
5. If she's so brilliant why is she sitting in our neighbour’s car?
6. Must have been your lifelong ambition.
7. Mutilation!
8. No one of consequence
9. Time out! I got something in my eye
10. We’re walking . . .
