What is your recent most favorite movie quote?

How about "Shut up and eat your garbage" from Ratatouille?

Well Bert, as I haven't been to a movie for over 20 years, can't do recent, but one of my all time favourites is from The Goodbye Girl.
She says to him, words to the effect of 'Will you be coming back?', and he says.
'Of course I'm coming back, I left my guitar'

May not have the words right, but it always appealed to me as being the sort of thing any self respecting guitarist should say.

That wasn't Lauren Bacall, Uncle Dave-O! Lauren had some killer lines in other Bogart films, but she was not in Casablanca.

My favorite was her instructions on how to whistle. Seems to me that was in Key Largo, wasn't it?

Speaking of favorite movies, though, I can't think of anything I like better than Ratatouille. That movie is just about perfect.

Too bad you were wrong about that part, Dave-O. The part you got right (that no one every said "Play it again, Sam" in that script) is a great bit of trivia that refutes a widely-held misconception.

Thanks, LEJ. ;-)

Regarding Winona...well, she's just a different type altogether from Lauren Bacall, I think. Not that she can't be vampy when she wants to...she can...but it's not the number one source of her appeal. The actress I've seen in modern times who came closest to recreating the Lauren Bacall persona and updating it into a more sexually explicit era in movies was Kathleen Turner in "Body Heat"...a marvelous examle of film noire! I thoroughly enjoy watching movies about such women, but I'm not much attracted to them in real life. I find them too aggressive. They're "bad" girls, in a sense. I'm much more attracted to quieter, more complex types like Winona, because she's rather subtle and mysterious at the same time, which makes me want to know more about her. (I'm going, of course, on her movie roles when I say that...)

Dealing with Lauren Bacall or Kathleen Turner in "Body Heat" is more like taking a dare from someone, and that's not the type of thing I tend to go for. It's fun to watch onscreen, but not my cup of tea.

Lonesome EJ, I remember the "My Favorite Year" quote slightly differently. A lady in the restroom says something like "Mr. Swann, this is for ladies only!" To which Swann replies something like "So is this, madam, but every now and then I am obliged to take it out and run some water through it."

I tried doing a web search to get the exact quote, but I came up with several different answers, none of which sounded right.

Subject: RE: BS: Quotes from movies
From: Little Hawk

See, Cluin, here's the key for me in attraction. What is someone really after in terms of sex/relationship/love/whatever you call it?

Are they dealing in...

1. A search merely for fun?
2. A way to exercise their power (plus have some fun on the side)?
3. A search for intimacy and affection?

To search merely for fun is quite common, and I find no objection to that really. It's kind of innocent and a lot of people do it. Okay. But I take romantic involvement too seriously myself to just search for fun.

The search for power is a different thing altogether, and to me it's ultimately a dangerous and ugly thing. People have no business exercising that kind of power over each other. Now to me the classic vamp (or the classic male casanova/seducer) is primarily a person searching for power. They're using their sexuality to hold sway over another person and enjoy the thrill of their own power. The other person is merely an accessory to the act, and accessories can be easily replaced. I don't care for that approach at all, and I instinctively attempt to avoid it.

What attracts me is the genuine search for shared intimacy and affection, for mutual understanding.

Now many people, truth be told, are somewhat a mixture of those three qualities or modes of behaviour, but the aggressive vamp primarily works through the mode of exercising seductive power and achieving conquest. This makes for great entertainment in a movie, but in real life I would tend to avoid such people like the plague, because they are dangerous on a personal/emotional level, and they don't really give a damn, because they're strictly in it for themselves.

This is fully demonstrated in the plot of the excellent movie "Body Heat". The woman in the movie is undoubtedly very attractive, but she's also like a Black Widow spider. She's strictly in it for herself.

That's a pretty complicated sets of goals and strictures, Hawk.

Don't you ever want a bit of meaningless mad animal FUN? Especially within a longterm relationship? Sometimes you're both in it for what you can each get. Then come back to that sensitive caring stuff.

Variety is the spice, as they say. And sex is about being insane and even dangerous for a little while.

There actually have been some good quotes in recent movies for kids--(but the writers have learned it's good to try to appeal to adults too, fortunately).

From "Over the Hedge" (I'm pretty sure)--at the end of the film when the battleax who's been trying--unsuccessfully, of course--to keep raccoons, squirrrels and the other characters out of her pristine development--is standing there, having had something blow up in her face--can't remember what--and also is being arrested for something.

Anyway she's standing there with her hair singed, and she's being arrested--and she screams:   "BUT I'M THE PRESIDENT OF A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION!!!!"

The other one I really like is from "Ice Age": some line of animals, can't remember what kind, is marching along to this cadence:
"I don't know, but I been told
Uh, 2,3,4.
End of the world is mighty cold"

Two, I love, and use. From a 1937 Frank Capra movie, there are a lot of people moving past each other in a room, hurriedly, as there is commotion going on as the room fills. One bit character calls out to another, in passing and says vibrantly, "HI!" To which another guy in the crowd replies, "No, just thinking!"

Another, from a 'Three Stooges' short, Curly, who says these little one liners, sorta under his breath, quips "If at first you don't suc-ceed, suck harder!"

From "Bittersuite:Joy".."Love, and it will create your circumstances"
From same movie, "Down deep, all men are shallow", to which the lead male answers, "Yes, and down deep all women are inside out"

From "Lawrence of Arabia" Faisal, played by Alec Guinness, says to another sheik, he is debating, when they finally convene to form a government, "God is good, when he gave you the way to think like an ass, he gave you a face to match"

The only trouble is, Alice, there isn't exactly any such line. Like "Play it again, Sam" in Casablanca.

I believe the proper text is: "We don't got to show you no steenking badges." That's closer anyway. I like it better.

Or maybe it's "steeking badgers."

Here's the actual quote (but I think what I posted was good enough.)

Gold Hat: Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges.

Also from TSM: "No one puts one over on Fred C. Dobbs". I have also had many occasions to use the "badges" quote - some get it, most don't.

Rick did say "You played it for her, play it" and I rather suspect there was a Sam in there as well but the "again" was not said by either.

'Gotta' go milk the elk' W.C Fields in 'you Can't Cheat an Honest Man'

MORE W.C.FIELDS:


'Twas a woman drove me to drink. I never had the courtesy to thank her.

I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.

[when asked why he never drank water] I'm afraid it will become habit-forming.

[when asked what he would like his epitaph to read] On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.

[when asked whether he liked children] Ah, yes . . . boiled or fried.

[when "caught" reading a Bible] Just looking for loopholes.

Wouldn't it be terrible if I quoted some reliable statistics which prove that more people are driven insane through religious hysteria than by drinking alcohol?

I like, in an audience, the fellow who roars continuously at the troubles of the character I am portraying on the stage, but he probably has a mean streak in him and, if I needed ten dollars, he'd be the last person I'd call upon. I'd go first to the old lady and old gentleman back in Row S who keep wondering what there is to laugh at.

Horse sense is what a horse has which keeps it from betting on people.

What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?

What fiend put pineapple juice in my pineapple juice?

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up. No use being a damned fool about it.

Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake.

Once during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.

What a gorgeous day. What effulgent sunshine. It was a day of this sort the McGillicuddy brothers murdered their mother with an axe.

Hell, I never vote for anybody. I always vote against.

Children should neither be seen nor heard from...ever again.

[looking back on his life] You know, I'd like to see how I would've made out without liquor.

I am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally.

The only thing a lawyer won't question is the legitimacy of his mother.

Start every day with a smile, and get it over with.

I remember Shakespeare's words because he was a great writer. I can't remember Hollywood lines; just as I may well recall a wonderful meal at Delmonico's many years ago, but not the contents of the garbage pail last Tuesday at Joe's Fountain Grill.

Women are like elephants. They are interesting to look at, but I wouldn't like to own one.

[on reading the Bible] I admit I scanned it once, searching for some movie plots . . . but I found only a pack of wild lies.

A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.

Marriage is better than leprosy, because it's easier to get rid of.

There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation.

[about comedian Bert Williams] He was the funniest man I ever saw, and the saddest man I ever knew.

[on Charles Chaplin] He's the best ballet dancer in the world.

Hollywood is the gold cap on a tooth that should have been pulled out years ago.

I gargle with whiskey several times a day, and I haven't had a cold in years.

The cost of living has gone up another dollar a quart.

After two days in the hospital, I took a turn for the nurse.

The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.

Drown in a cold vat of whiskey? Death, where is thy sting?

Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects.


We'll always have Paris.


You'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon and for the rest of your life.

[Bobby wants plain toast, which isn't on the menu]

Waitress: A #2, chicken salad sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.
