Subject: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Nov 02 - 09:25 PM We've run both music and movie lines before and I haven't seen one for awhile so..........what the hell......... Seen any good or bad movies lately? More to the point though, have you heard a line that you really liked? Humorous, serious....don't matter.....Just a good line that caught your attention....Here's two from a couple of recent flicks: From "Best In Show" "She looks like a cocktail waitress on an oil rig." From "Quiz Show" "I love my wife but it's like living with a plague of locusts." Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 29 Nov 02 - 09:37 PM Back in the 50's (not quite recent...) Robert Ryan said to a kid who was bothering him, "Beat it, dust!" We used that phrase for years. I thought it came from Bad Day At Black Rock, but it doesn't. It could have been any Robert Ryan movie... Jerry |

Subject: RE: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: Cluin Date: 30 Nov 02 - 04:16 AM The Will Geer character in Jeremiah Johnson: "I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads. Then I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek and traded her for a Hawken gun. But don't get me wrong. I loves the womens... I surely do." Always brings a chuckle. |

Subject: RE: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: GUEST Date: 30 Nov 02 - 09:41 AM From the mini-series "Joan of Arc" - Joan's final words as she's being barbequed - live!! - in front of the whole community (in fine European tradition) ... she casts her eyes skyward, an enraptured smile crosses her childish face and she whispers "THANK YOU..." This helps me put the petty annoyances of my own life into proper perspective .... |

Old codger #2: "Is that what it takes? I've often wondered what it took." Also: Guy: "My life is so boring. I have to make my own fun." Girl: "You always have to make your own fun. If somebody else does it for you it's not fun - it's entertainment. Bruce |

Subject: RE: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: Coyote Breath Date: 30 Nov 02 - 11:54 AM whooeee a can of worms fer sure! "Well Woodrow, this is where we find if we were cut out to be cattlemen, I reckon!" Gus to Call from Lonesome Dove as a cattle stampede starts. A quote I have borrowed many a-time right before an impending disaster. "Emmingrants?!, Emmigrants?!" The Mountain Men. (Charlton Heston, looking frightened and confused at the suggestion of settlers coming through the Rockies on their way to Oregon) "She's so pretty and sweet, I could eat her brains like jam!" (a goblin from "Legend"? or ...?) It's not a line but the whole "Blind Man" scene from Woman in Red fractures me just thinking about it. "Put THAT in yer book" teamster to John Dunbar in Dances with Wolves CB |

Subject: RE: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: Cluin Date: 30 Nov 02 - 03:03 PM Yet another one from Jeremiah Johnson: Del Gue: "Damn, that Hatchet Jack `uz a wild `un. He was livin' for two years in a cave with a mountain lion up on the Mussel Shell... she never did get used to him." What a great flick that is, and not least of all for the outstanding soundtrack. Cool song fragments, mountain fiddling, etc. It'll be the first DVD I lash out for when I finally get a real player. |

Subject: RE: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: khandu Date: 30 Nov 02 - 07:42 PM I'll tell ya the truth, Spaw. ole Buddy. That one line chokes me up every time I watch the movie. To see all the balcony stand to honor Mr. Finch tears my heart out. The movie is my all-time favorite movie, the book, my all time favorite book. I am not gay, but I swear, I'd marry Atticus Finch! Michael Palin was the only one who could have pulled Pontious Pilate off in "The Life of Brain". And, it is apparent that he is straining to keep a straight face. That was a classic scene! khandu |

It makes me laugh to remember it, the English army man drew himself up in utter indignation, saying, "My dear fellow we are NOT foreigners, WE are BRITISH!!" |

Nothin you both ain't already had. From Blazing Saddles, a line which pretty much sums up the whole movie: Baby, you are so talented... and they are SO DUMB!!! From Ride With the Devil: Just when do you intend to do this mean thing to me? Is now a convenient time for you, because it is for me! From Erin Brockovich: They're called boobs, Ed.

Subject: RE: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: GUEST,Taliesn Date: 02 Dec 02 - 02:56 PM From "A Man for All Seasons" First Paul Scofield's SirThomas More informs his aristocrat friend the Duke of Norfolk ( Nigel Davenport )to be careful with his words as Moore fears the equivalent of England's version "The Terror" occasioned by King Henry VIII's "loyalty oath" proclamation. To this the rather proud and self-assured Duke of Norfolk retorts " Man you're ill. This isn't Spain , ya know, It's England !" A line that haunts the Duke of Norfolk to the bone when he's been told personally ,by King Henry's hatchetman,Cromwell, that the King himself wants Norfolk to become personally involved in what will become "the purge" of Moore. The dialogue ends in Cromwell's private chamber with Cromwell coldly saying to the proud Norfolk that he wouldn't trun the King down "if I were you". Norfolk: " Are ye threatening me?" Cromwell " My dear Norfolk; this isn't Spain. This is ENGLAND." upon which Norfolk's face turns cold remembering these words he had just spoken to Moore and the line " Ask not for whpom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee" comes to mind. Another usly delivered line for Norfolk was when he collects the chain of office from the deathbed slab of Cardinal Woolsey. As Orson Wells' Woolsey says his final parting words " If I had served God half so well as I had served my King, God would not have left me here to die in such a place". Without missing a single beat Norfolk fires back " Thank God yer dynig here. The King would have ye die in the Tower." |

Subject: RE: BS: FavoriteMovieLines(again) From: Peter T. Date: 02 Dec 02 - 05:04 PM Well, what about moments of silence for a change? Speaking of Gregory Peck, the whole last scene of Roman Holiday when neither he nor Audrey Hepburn say a word (oh there are words, but....), and he walks out at the end is one of the saddest scenes I can remember, noble too, in a way that has gone completely. An absolute symphony of silence is much of "The Graduate", though everyone remembers the words. Without the awkward silences, starting with Benjamin and gradually infecting everyone, it would be nothing. One of the great moments of silence that lasts just the perfect beat and no more is Claude Rains' tour de force in the last scene in Casablanca when he has to decide which horse to back. It is always a great moment, perfect timing -- audiences invariably applaud or laugh with relief, even if they have seen it a hundred times (like me). yours, Peter T. |

There is nothing more surprising than the attack without mercy!" That line cracks me up. I can just hear the Indians; "Chief, they are attacking without mercy!" "Well, that surprises the hell outta me!" k |
