So simple, yet so profound….

“Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?”
This one is used around the house a lot, when someone makes a completely illogical statement. (and there are a lot of those, with seven kids around)
“I’m invincible!”
“You’re a loony.”
But where has the rum gone?
“You see, there’s a difference between like and love. I like my Sketchers, but I LOVE my Prada backpack”

[Bart, disguised as a Klansman, describes his qualifications as a villain]
Bart: Stampeding cattle.
Hedley Lamarr: That’s not much of a crime.
Bart: Through the Vatican?
Hedley Lamarr: [smiling] Kinky. Sign here.
I give up ajesquire, what movie is that from?
“Asps. Very dangerous. You go first.”
We used to use this a lot on the job after the movie first came out.
“Zumsing izn’t right in all of zis, eh. I can feel eet een my buns.”
“Your what?”
“My buns.”
“Buns? Your buns? You bought buns and you deedn’t tell me? Where are zey? Where are ze buns?”
“Oh! No, monsieur. The BONES een my body.”
*scoffs* “You should nut speak wiz an accent when you know I am so hungry!”
Whoops, last one was me.
– “Aunt Abby, how can I believe you? There are twelve bodies in the cellar and you admit you poisoned them.”
– “Yes, I did. But you don’t think I’d stoop to telling a fib.”
She turned me into a newt!
A newt?
Well, I got better.
Jonathan,
Your last name isn’t Brewster, is it?
My fave line from that movie has to be when Teddy says, “General, as president of the United States, commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and the man who gave you this job, I demand that you accompany me to inspect the canal.”
Also amusing is when, later in the same speech you quoted from, Cary Grant says (of the 12 murders), “Look, what I’m trying to say is, This is developing into a very bad habit!”
Operative: Are you willing to die for that belief?
Mel: I am.
“Draws gun..bang!”
Mel: Course that ain’t exactly plan A.
“Heeey you Guuuuys!”
and…
“Baby Ruufff”
Some great quotes from some timeless movies here…
Lionel Twain: I will tell you, Mr. Wang, if you can tell me why one of the greatest minds in the world can’t say his articles or prespositions. IS THE. IS THE. What IS THE meaning of this.
Sydney Wang: That what I said. What meaning of this?
Also from the same movie:
Sam Diamond: I thought Twain was an older man, say 72 or 73.
Lionel Twain: 76, to be precise. How do I stay so young? Simple: A complete vegetable diet, 12 hours sleep a night, and lots and lots of makeup.
(Even funnier if you know that Lionel Twain is played by the oh-so-masculine Truman Capote.)
Scottish Dude: I want you to kill all the gophers on the golf course.
Carl: Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I kill all the golfers they’ll lock me up and throw away the key.
Scottish Dude: Not golfers, you great fool. Gophers. The little brown furry rodents.
Carl Spackler: We can do that. We don’t even need a reason.
“I have more than two grades of laundry. There’re lots of subtle levels between clean and dirty.”
(Ghostbusters 2)
Stay alive! No matter what occurs! I WILL find you.

Dr. Richard Kimball: I didn’t kill my wife!
Fed Marshall: (shrugs) I don’t care.
“Years from now, when you talk about this — and you will — please be kind”
Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?
“Listen! Do you smell something?”
I’m fuzzy on the whole good-bad thing. What do you mean, “bad”?
“A lot of people hate this hat. It angers a lot of people, just the sight of it.”
Here’s a fairly obscure one, but one quoted all the time (to passengers in my car):
Don’t worry. I’ve never hit anything that was in the right place.
Do you have any hobbies?
I collect spores, molds and fungus.
Admittedly, a questionable movie but:
Julian Noble: I need a break. There’s no retirement home for assassins is there? Archery at four. Riflery at five.
_______________________
Julian Noble: Danny, Danny! Danny with the large white fanny!
_______________________
Julian Noble: An assassin without confidence is a horrible thing to behold. It’s like a relief pitcher who fumbles the ball.
Danny Wright: Please tell me you know you mixed two sports in a metaphor.
Julian Noble: Huh? Yeah, I can’t do that.
I could go an hour on just Mel Brooks movies, but here’s a couple:
Are we awake?
We’re not sure…are we…black?
Yes we are.
Then we’re awake, but we’re very confused.
Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!
“I’m still big, it’s the pictures that got small.”
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: “Have ya paid your dues, Jack?” “Yessir, the check is in the mail.
Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!
Inocencio, you took my first choice! So I’ll go with this:
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”
Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. See this? This … is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart’s top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That’s right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It’s got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That’s right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
These are family favorites:

“You cheated!”
“Pirate!”…

OK, I can’t believe no one has quoted anything from Casablanca yet, so I’ll do it.
Major Strasse: What is your nationality?
Rick: I’m a drunkard.
Louis: That makes Rick a citizen of the world.
Major Strasse: I see you left Paris at the time of the occupation.
Rick: There seems to be no secret about that.
Strasse: Were you one of those who could not bear to see Germans in your beloved Paris?
Rick: It’s not particularly my beloved Paris.
Other German Dude: Can you see us in London?
Rick: When you get there, ask me.
German: How about New York?
Rick: Well, there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn’t advise you to try and invade.
“Carpe… carpe… carpe diem… seize the day boys… make your lives extraordinary.”
“I mean, if I was ever going to buy a desk set… twice! I would probably buy this one… both times! In fact, its shape is rather aerodynamic, isn’t it? You can feel it. This desk set wants to fly! Todd… the world’s first un-manned flying desk set!”
“Sounds to me like your daunted.”
“In-con-ceiv-able!!!”
“You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
(OK, this is really pathetic. This is one topic I feel really confident in. Theology? Heavy political topics? I put 1 toe in and then decide that the water is deep and cold. A fave movie quote contest? I’m all over that like white on rice.)
From my all time favorite actor:
You work your side of the street and I’ll work mine.
Does ANYONE know what movie I’m talking about?
You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
last one, I promise!
Gozer: The Choice is made!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Whoa! Ho! Ho! Whoa-oa!
Gozer: The Traveller has come!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Nobody choosed anything!
[turns to Egon]
Dr. Peter Venkman: Did YOU choose anything?
Dr. Egon Spengler: No.
Dr. Peter Venkman: [to Winston] Did YOU?
Winston Zeddemore: My mind is totally blank.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I didn’t choose anything.
[long pause, Peter, Egon and Winston all look at Ray]
Dr Ray Stantz: I couldn’t help it. It just popped IN there.
Dr. Peter Venkman: [angrily] What? What just popped in there?
Dr Ray Stantz: I… I… I tried to think…
Dr. Egon Spengler: LOOK!
[they all look over one side of the roof]
Dr Ray Stantz: No! It CAN’T be!
Dr. Peter Venkman: What is it?
Dr Ray Stantz: It CAN’T be!
Dr. Peter Venkman: What did you do, Ray?
Winston Zeddemore: Oh, shit!
[they all see a giant cubic white head topped with a sailor hat, Peter looks at Ray]
Dr Ray Stantz: [somberly] It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
For starters:
“But here’s my advice to the rest of you: take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the cross hairs, and take them down.”
or possibly
“You gotta get me one of those jumpsuits.”
“Daddy, my teacher tells me everytime you hear a bell an angel gets its wings”
Carlton: For a long time it gave me nightmares… witnessing an injustice like that… it’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be… I can still hear them taunting him… silly rabbit, tricks are for kids… I mean, WHY COULDN’T THEY JUST GIVE HIM SOME CEREAL?
Okay, so the last one came from a t.v. show, sue me! (God Bless!)
Here’s an oldie but a goodie:
“You’re right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I’ll have to close this place in… 60 years.”
and from the sublime to the slime:
“Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.”
“May the force be with you”
“I find your lack of faith disturbing.”
“I am your father.”
Esau,
You open it up to TV shows and I won’t be able to shut up. I take back my previous, “Last one, promise” now. I mean, really, that’s a whole different ball of wax…
how about (best line ever!)
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Of course, there could be a whole post simply devoted to great quotes from WKRP:
You got the knife, I got the gun. C’mon boy we’re gonna have a little fun.
Irritated Ohio State Trooper: I have administered this test hundreds of times. No one’s reflexes ever get FASTER when they get drunk!
The tape represents where, one day, walls will be. WALLS!!!
I see it all now – the drinking, the heart problems. God wants me dead, and He’s willing to burn down a whole building just to do it!
I can’t believe no one has mentioned this one: “Rosebud.”
These have NOTHING to do with each other.
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
“My precious”
“Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin, and the world’s ending!!!”
Harry: “We won’t let you get away with this.”
robber: “Who is ‘we’?”
Harry: “Me, Smith, and Wesson.”
Mary, don’t forget;
“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly…”
“He chose…poorly.”
Ok, Mary, now you’ve gone in and done it 😉
“OH I love surprises it’s funny that you never suspect them!”
“Eat your salad before it gets cold”
“Captain Spock, you do not stand accused.”
“Mr. President, I stand with my shipmates.”
“Let’s go home, Debbie.”
Oops! I didn’t see your first turkey reference, Mary. This thread is growing at a geometric rate.
I sometimes use this one with MY son;
“Put that on a plate, son, you’ll enjoy it more.”
Anyone? Anyone?
“Kirk to Spock: It’s two hours.”
“Spock here. Ready to beam you up.”
“All right! I don’t like to lose.”
Tim J.,
No, that’s the first one I said – it’s in the previous post, the one addressed to Esau. That’s one of my all-time favorites!!!
Mary
One of the best lines in Ghostbusters from Winston:
“That’s a big twinkie”
And lest we forget:
A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:
Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, “Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.” And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals … Now did the Lord say, “First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.”
“I don’t want to be a pie . . . I don’t like gravy!”
“Miss Jean Louise, Mr. Arthur Radley. I believe he already knows you.”
“Peter’s not king yet.”
Of course, The Simpsons should get their own thread, but, in light of the election in a few weeks,
Kang and Kodos: It’s a 2 party system! Are you going to throw your vote away?
Homer: As long as you’re in my house, you’ll do things my way, so butter your bacon!
Bart: In art class today, we drew pictures of Joan of Arc burning at the stake, and mine was the goriest. Catholics rock!
And, my favorite character, Mr. Burns, “Excellent…” (which I say all the time)
Which brings me back to the movies and another line I say all the time, “I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!” (When I do it, I sound and look just like her, except not green. It’s pretty creepy, actually.)
“I don’t want to be a pie . . . I don’t like gravy!”
LOVE Chicken Run!
So no one can answer my challenge? C’mon guys, it’s a classic line from a classic guy movie.
You work your side of the street, and I’ll work mine.
Hint: Clint Eastwood was NOT in this movie.
“What we got heah is failya to communicate.”
“You can not pass. I am a Servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You…shall…not..pass.”
“That’s my family Kay. It’s not me”
“Ahhh, a red snapper. Mmmmm, very tasty. Okay, Weaver, listen carefully. You can hold on to your red snapper… or you can go for what’s in the box that Hiro-San is bringing down the aisle right now! What’s it gonna be?”
“I’ll take the box. The box!”
“You took the box? Let’s see what’s in the box! … Nothing! Absolutely nothing! STUPID! You’re so STU-PIIIIIIIIIIID!”
Bob Porter: “Looks like you’ve been missing a lot of work lately.”
Peter Gibbons: “Well, I wouldn’t exactly say I’ve been *missing* it, Bob.”
Butch: I think we lost ’em. Do you think we lost ’em?
Sundance: No.
Butch: Neither do I.
A quote I use on the golf course when a friend hits a putt or chip way past the hole: “Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?”
Mary, could it be Bullit?
Also Mary, the turkey quote from WKRP is one of my all-time fav’s. I’m from Cincy and when I was in the Army, I got hit with a lot of WKRP references…
– “It’s all right, that’s in every contract. That’s what they call a sanity clause.”
– “You can’t fool me! There ain’t no Sanity Claus!”
Someone already said:
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
But they didn’t get the complete line. From Cool Hand Luke:
“What we’ve got here…is a failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. And I don’t like it any more than you men.” – Captain, Road Prison 36
I loved that movie.
And…from Patton:
“Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country…I don’t want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We’re not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass. We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we’re gonna go through him like crap through a goose.”
My apologies for the general’s course language.
–Ann
Judge Roy Bean:I understand you have taken exception to my calling you whores. I’m sorry. I apologize. I ask you to note that I did not call you callous-a$$ strumpets, fornicatresses, or low-born gutter sluts. But I did say “whores.” No escaping that. And for that slip of the tongue, I apologize.
Sorry if thet is too crass fro this blog, but it is very funny
– “Gentlemen, Chicolini here may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you: he really is an idiot. I implore you, send him back to his father and brothers, who are waiting for him with open arms in the penitentiary. I suggest that we give him ten years in Leavenworth, or eleven years in Twelveworth.”
– “I’ll tell you what I’ll do: I’ll take five and ten in Woolworth.”
“But Rhett, where will I go, what shall I do, what’s to become of me?”

momof6 – loved the quote from Raising Arizona!
I was the last one left after the nuclear holocaust, eh. The whole world had been destroyed, like U.S. blew up Russia and Russia blew up U.S. Fortunately, I had been offworld at the time. There wasn’t much to do. All the bowling alleys had been wrecked. So’s I spent most of my time looking for beer.
– “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
– “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
– “Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!”
– “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”

Anyone getting the message I’m getting or am I just putting these things out of context 😉
Since somebody brought up UHF (another family favorite);
“Sometimes you just have to take what life gives you. Cause life is like a mop… and sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud and bugs and hairballs and stuff, you just gotta clean it out! You, you gotta put it in here and rinse it off and start all over again! And Sometimes, sometimes, life sticks to the floor so bad, you know a mop? A mop just it’s not good enough… it’s not good enough. You gotta get down there with like a toothbrush you know and you gotta, you gotta really scrub! You’ve got to get it off. You’ve got to really try to get it off. But if that doesn’t work… if that doesn’t work you can’t give up… you gotta stand right up and gotta run to the window and yell, ‘Hey! These floors are dirty as hell, and I’m not gonna take it anymore!!'”
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
one more to crack 100:
“You’re gonna have to sleep sometime, MacReady.”
“I’m a real light sleeper, Childs.”
“Forasmuch as, my Lord, this indictment is grounded upon an act of Parliament directly repugnant to the laws of God and His Holy Church, the supreme government of which, or of any part whereof, may no temporal prince presume by any law to take upon him, as rightfully belonging to the See of Rome, a spiritual pre-eminence by the mouth of Our Savior himself, personally present upon the earth, only to St. Peter and his successors, bishops of the same See, by special prerogative granted, it is therefore in law amongst Christian men insufficient to charge any Christian man.”

Masai: “You Warriors are good. Real good.”

“I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal.”
doh! Forgot the better one:
– “I’ve been alive for four and a half centuries, and I cannot die.”
– “Well, everyone has got their problems.”
“Game over man… Game over!”
“Don’t be so gloomy. After all it’s not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly.”
I’m surprised no one’s mentioned this one yet:
“Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian.”
And a few from one of my childhood favorites:
“If the good Lord had intended us to walk he wouldn’t have invented roller-skates.”
“A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.”
“I don’t understand this. The children are dissappearing like rabbits. Well, at least we still have each other. Let’s move along.”
“No, no, don’t speak. For some moments in life there are no words.”
“Mary, could it be Bullit?”
Excellent, Joanthan – gold star!!! What a great movie! What a great actor! The thing about McQueen is, he doesn’t have a lot of truly memorable lines, because he preferred doing to speaking. But that line is great, especially when you know the context.
You know, a lot of people seem to have no idea who he was anymore, which is so weird…
Also, WKRP is one of the great TV shows. What a shame that it isn’t on DVD yet.
Ohmigosh! Thinking about my childhood…
De plane – de plane!!!
Welcome to Fantasy Island!
John E:
Office Space – a spanking new classic! I love new classics!
Joanna: Yeah, you know, I don’t really like talking about my flair
Peter: You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.
Peter: I can’t believe what a bunch of nerds we are – we’re looking up ‘laundering money’ in the dictionary
Michael Bolton: PC load letter…what the * does that mean? (a truly deep question, actually)
Jonathan,
Oh you of the great quote from the 60 year old movie – you didn’t answer my question – IS YOUR LAST NAME BREWSTER??? (Hahaha)
I mean, either it’s a coincidence that your name is Jonathan and you quoted that movie, or you chose the scariest guy in the movie to identify with…
So which is it?
Aunt Abby: Gasp.
Mortimer: What, did you find it?
Abby: No, it’s a baby picture of your brother Jonathan.
Mortimer: Oh, Jonathan? He’s probably in prison or hanged or something by now.
Abby: Just the thought of Jonathan frightens me. Do you remember how he used to cut worms in two with his teeth?
Fragile – must be Italian…of course, the classic line from that movie is (all together now)
You’ll shoot your eye out!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Sorry Venkman, but I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.”
Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.
OK, great quote, stupid movie:
Keanu Reeves: F You, man!
Dennis “Mad dog” Hopper: F You? In two hundred years, we have gone from ‘I regret that I have but one life to give for my country’ to F you!?!
“Sorry I didn’t have time to paint it or build it to scale.”
They’re coming to get you Barbara.
From the genius that is Ed Wood: “For a time we tried to contact them by radio but no response. Then they attacked a town, a small town I’ll admit, but never the less a town of people, people who died.”
Sorry if I’m late in coming to this topic. Here’s what few quotes I have:

One of my favorites:
“Just get up off the ground, that’s all I ask. Get up there with that lady that’s up on top of this Capitol dome, that lady that stands for liberty. Take a look at this country through her eyes if you really want to see something. And you won’t just see scenery; you’ll see the whole parade of what Man’s carved out for himself, after centuries of fighting. Fighting for something better than just jungle law, fighting so’s he can stand on his own two feet, free and decent, like he was created, no matter what his race, color, or creed. That’s what you’d see. There’s no place out there for graft, or greed, or lies, or compromise with human liberties. And, uh, if that’s what the grownups have done with this world that was given to them, then we’d better get those boys’ camps started fast and see what the kids can do. And it’s not too late, because this country is bigger than the Taylors, or you, or me, or anything else. Great principles don’t get lost once they come to light. They’re right here; you just have to see them again!” — Jimmy Stewart as ????
Of course, saying that this was Jimmy Stewart, and given the popularity of this classic movie, makes it a dead give-away!

Actually, it is just a coincidence that my name is Jonathan, but I am a fan of old movies like ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’. Incidentally, you probably already know this, but the Boris Karloff cracks refer to Boris playing Jonathan Brewster in the play. He couldn’t be in the movie for some reason.

Incidentally, you probably already know this, but the Boris Karloff cracks refer to Boris playing Jonathan Brewster in the play. He couldn’t be in the movie for some reason.”
Aha! A coincidence. So you don’t identify with the psycho killer…that’s good.
The reason Karloff couldn’t be in the movie is because the Broadway production was still going on. Karloff and Jean Adair and Josephine Hull (Aunt Martha and Aunt Abby) were all in the Broadway production. Hollywood bought the rights, and actually produced it while it was still going on, but Broadway didn’t want to lose Karloff’s star power, so they didn’t release him.
Which is more than you probably ever wanted to know.
I see a couple of classic movie fans on here – nice long quote from Peter Lorre, among others. That’s nice. I sometimes think I’m the only one left.
BTW, the quote you put out there is of course from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (the original, not the remake that Mel Gibson did during an episode of The Simpsons a few years ago). Love that movie – my first introduction to Jean Arthur, who, unfortunately doesn’t seem as well-remembered as many others from back then.
Have you ever seen “The Best Years of Our Lives” with Myrna Loy, Teresa Wright and Frederick March? (And either Joseph Cotton or Dana Andrews – I cannot keep the two straight in my head!!!) It’s a great film along the lines of Mr. Smith, although a little darker. It’s about returning vets after WWII…
“I see that you are no stranger to pain”
“I’ve been married”
“Oh.”
“Twice!”
“OHH!”
Ohmigosh, Jonathan – you’ve seen Bringing Up Baby!?!?! Nobody’s seen Bringing Up Baby!!!!
I love that line about how there haven’t been any quiet moments! One of the funniest lines in the movie. Of course, that’s where I get my driving in the car with people line, “I’ve never hit anything that was in the right place.” People get the funniest look on their faces when I say that.
I also love the Sheriff – he’s hilarious!
Um, I think it was Jeannette who was commiserating with me that WKRP isn’t on DVD yet. I was discussing that very thing with a CANADIAN friend recently (yes, that’s right – I am a highly sophisticated international traveler) and we have come to the conclusion that what must be holding up the DVDs is all the copyright from all the music that was a part of the show.
Which is NOT COOL! Apparently, the music industry has become peppered with people who are only interested in money. Can you imagine that?
Mary,
I’m actually realitively young, but I started going back and watching a lot of classic movies. On average, they’re much better than stuff today and I can watch them with my 8-year old. They’re especially great to quote because the dialogue is sooo much better – it really had to be.
I threw out some Marx brothers, but I don’t know if anyone picked up on it. They have some of the funniest lines of all time. Oh, and for the McQueen fan in you:
German officer: What are you doing over here by the wire?
Hilts: Well, like I told Max here, I was trying to get my…
German Soldier: [Voice] Achtung!
[Von Luger enters]
Von Luger: What were you doing by the wire?
Hilts: Well, like I told Max… I was trying to cut my way through your wire because I wanta get out.
“We are gathered here today to consign the mortal remains of Millard Frymore… or whatever his name really was. I ain’t really got a whole lot to say about Millard because he only rode amongst us two days ago, and was promptly struck down by whatever deadly disease it was struck him down. We can only hope that whatever deadly disease it was, it wasn’t particularly contagious. And with that in mind, I suggest we all bow our heads in devout prayer.”
“All right now, I’m comin’ out. Any man I see out there, I’m gonna shoot him. Any sumb@#$* takes a shot at me, I’m not only gonna kill him, but I’m gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.”
Jonathan,
Yeah – I’m a child of the 70s myself, but much prefer older movies (although, as you can glean from the above, I’m not exclusive to old movies). But they seemed to have more grace and class back then…for example, I loooove the Thin Man series. Some of the funniest, wittiest repartee ever on screen.
The Great Escape – one of my favorite McQueen movies! Have you ever seen Tom Horn? That’s one of his last ones, and most people haven’t ever seen it. It’s great though.
Oh, but here’s one from the 70s:
Sh-sh-sh…SSSSHHHAAAAAAAAARRRRKKKK!!!!!
Tina from Jaws 2, after the shark got her boyfriend right in front of her.
“We are gathered here today to consign the mortal remains of Millard Frymore…”

Sheriff McCullough (James Garner): I don’t know what I could have said to give you that idea, Mayor.
SDG,
The quote, “My powers have doubled since the last time we met,” was delivered in the worst possible way by Hayden Christensen in “Revenge of the Sith.” I wasn’t saying He said it well, but that he said it soooo very, very, badly that it was good, if you know what I mean. I’m not cwazy, after all. 😛
Arsenic & Old Lace is incredibly funny. But, Mary, can you imagine if Karloff had been in the film rather than Raymond Massey? Those referenced to Johnathan looking like Boris Karloff would be priceless!
(SIGH) I’ll bet it was show-stoping on B’way.
Luke (whiney): “Awww . . . But I was going to go to Tashi station to pick up some power converters.”
But this one goes to 11.
(Say it in an English accent, and I bet you’ll get it!)
Gene, yeah, I wish Karloff could have done it as well. Ah well. It’s still a star-studded cast, complete with one of my favorite character actors of all time, Edward Everett Horton.
