I like Steve Buscemi, he has had two great lines in Armageddon and Con Air.
"You wanna compare brainpans? I won the Westinghouse prize when I was 12, big deal. Published at 19, so what. I got a double doctorate from MIT at 22, Chemistry and Geology. I taught at Princton for two and a half years. Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes and they let me use explosives, okay? " (Armageddon)
"Define irony. Bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash." (Con Air)

"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bonel, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let the aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message ' She is Dead'. Put crepe bows 'round the white necks of the public doves, Let traffic policemen wear black, cotton gloves. She was my North, my South, my East, and West. My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good."

Madly, softly deeply: Every single word from that film.
It still to this day reduces me to tears!
PS I love you:
Lord can I count the days that movie has played on the old DVD!
If it could it would walk out on me I think it would! LOL
When the girls head over for drinks and a tear jerker and we all argue over "what was that line" replay, replay, freeze frame, zoom in, zoom out. Give me the remote!
We are all capable of looking so far into this film that we fall off the lounges in stitches!
Breakfast at Tiffanys: In my view is the best of the best, written for the best to enjoy, and those who enjoy it are the best in the world!
A blast from the past and one from the vault:

Most of the women will relate to this and some men as well.
I hope that you may find your magic movie today and have a peaceful and loving reminder of how good life really is despite the doom and gloom of the news and economy.
A smile is still free so enjoy!

I think that the quote from The Truman Show (moniquen), is the most important line in the movie. It's so in line with the 7 Up series. I'm fascinated by that stuff. I know it's hard but, people really can change if they know thyselves etc.
Yet I know that anyone who's studied marketing would say that the movie is more to do with being a lesson in product placement.
I'd like to hear comments from anyone who's seen In Bruges. I loved it but was a bit disturbed by the fact that I remember the humour just as much as the not so typical extreme violence. Still, I liked the way that the theme, at least in part, was about people 'finding themselves' unexpectedly when in weird situations.

Kenny in the Stephen King book that the Shawshank Redemption was based on the sexual violence was actually quite a harsh and confronting part of the story.....
I guess it was toned down for the movie.
The story was from a collection of short stories, and this one was called "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption".
Posters of Rita hid the hole in the wall that Andy Dufresne was gradually digging, and over time there would be different pictures of her.........
Frankly l thought the short story far better than the movie and am not a fan............K

Qualitygal, Joey's most famous line and you omitted it!!!
"How you doin?...........K
Posted by: auntykaz at October 5, 2008 3:12 PM
2 Favourite lines nearly as good as ...
" Frankly my dear I don't give a damn"
...."Talk to the hand!"
and as quoted by the cockatoo in a TV add when his owner passed the phone to him on his perch....
"Oh I know... Oh I Know .. Oh I know...!
Comes in very handy when you have suffered enough from listening to a girlfriend blithering on and on and on .. about .. "Oh how I love him .. but he's a heartbreaker" ...
Used to do it to a girlfriend in Adelaide... she was so imersed in her own joy of misery that she never noticed me saying .. "Oh I Know!" all the way along the beach from Henley to Grange and back again! (Took her 2 years to get over him! :-(

How YOU doing??
Oh... my... God!
Ross: Can I borrow your blue tie? Emma spit on mine.
Chandler: Okay, but you'll have to give it back when I get a job. Of course, by then, ties will be obsolete and we'll all be wearing silver jumpsuits.
Joey: Just because she went to Yale drama, she thinks she's like the greatest actress since, since, sliced bread!
Chandler: Ah, Sliced Bread, a wonderful Lady MacBeth.
Ross: Wow, you guys sure have a lot of books about being a lesbian.
Susan: Well, you know, you have to take a course. Otherwise they don't let you do it.
Jack Geller: I remember when we first got engaged.
Chandler: Oh, I don't think I ever heard that story.
Monica: Oh dad, really you don't need to...
Jack Geller: [ignoring her] Well, I'd gotten Judy pregnant. I still don't know that happened.
Judy Geller: [incredulous] You don't know how that happened? Your dog thought my diaphragm was a chew toy.
and one of my faves :-)
Joey Tribbiani: [after smelling potpourri] Well, this is like summer in a bowl!

Resolution #1: uggg - will obviously lose 20 lbs. #2: always put last night's panties in the laundry basket. Equally important: will find nice sensible boyfriend and stop forming romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workoholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional %^*$wits, or perverts. Will especially stop fantasizing about a particular person who embodies all these things.

So can anyone explain to me what Cuba Gooding Jr was going on about in Jerry Maguire? Anyone at all?
Particularly the part about 'shoplifting from a single mom' because that right there is where the film completely lost me.

Notting Hill, that scene gets me every time "I'm just a girl, looking for a guy to love her",
Then there's the chick movie saying "Talk to the hand",
And EVERYTHING about Bridget Jones' Diary gets me....why do I still get roped in by the Daniel Cleaver's and long for a Mark Darcy? Because, at the end of the day, I am just another Bridget like so many of the 'girls' on here! And my blogging and my profile are sort of like my BJ's Diary...

This one from Dirty Harry
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Hey Kaaaaaz! That episode was hilarious but Elaine was imitating Marlon Brando in

..Mash Potato Dear - naming him during our marvellous love affair. My first greetings before conversation take place, saying is "how is my "Mash Potato" he's smiley smitten while shaking his head with amusement (he's honourable OZ guy). he asked me,.. what made him like that... i said..he's full of " Energy and Carbohydrates ".....he laugh out loud to death.
Sadly, we got misunderstanding but he waits for me still. Mostly men I've met, they're happy with my company bec I make them laugh and heaps of jokes. that's kind of me a cheeky girl :)

Another favorite, same film;

If the second is from Casablanca, didnt Humphrey Bogart say to the piano player "Play it Sam, play As Time Goes By" ?? A famous misquote......just like the famous line above.
Was the first said by Hooper in Jaws?
Posted by: jenjen57 at September 30, 2008 6:02 PM

'No-one puts Baby in a Corner',
from Dirty Dancing. Johnny (Patrick Swayze) and 'Fasten your seatbelts - It's going to be a Bumpy Night'. From 'All About Eve.' 1950 (Spoken by Bette Davis - Margo.)
Followed closely by 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning.' from 'Apocolypse Now'.
Quotes from Casablanca deserve an entry on their own.
