Nick Rivers: Listen to me, Hillary. I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist, only to lose her to her childhood lover who she last saw on a deserted island, who then turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French underground.

Hillary Flammond: I know. It all sounds like some bad movie.

Mrs. White: [quickly] Nothing!
Mrs. Peacock: Nothing?
Mrs. White: Well, he just lies around on his back all day.
Miss Scarlet: Sounds like hard work to me.

Wadsworth: Mrs. White, you've been paying our friend, the blackmailer, ever since your husband died under, shall we say, mysterious circumstances?
Miss Scarlet: Ah!
[laughs]
Mrs. White: Why is that funny?
Miss Scarlet: I see! That's why he was lying on his back, in his coffin.
Mrs. White: I didn't kill him.
Colonel Mustard: Then why are you paying the blackmailer?
Mrs. White: I dont want a scandal, do I? We had had a very humiliating public confrontation. He was deranged. He was
[points to head]
Mrs. White: a lunatic! He didn't actually seem to like me very much; he had threatened to kill me in public.
Miss Scarlet: Why would he wanna kill you in public?
Wadsworth: I think she meant he threatened, in public, to kill her.
[rolls eyes]
Miss Scarlet: Oh. Was that his final word on the matter?
Mrs. White: Being killed is pretty final, wouldn't you say?

:

Colonel Mustard: How many husbands have you had?
Mrs. White: Mine or other women's?
Colonel Mustard: Yours.
Mrs. White: Five.
Colonel Mustard: Five?
Mrs. White: Yes, just the five. Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong and disposable.

Mrs. White: Flies are where men are most vulnerable.
Colonel Mustard: Right!

I really love Steve Martin, and although he hasn't done anything (much) of late he was in a fantastic movie years ago called "All of me" (with Lily Tomlin). It was hilarious and I always remember his line:

"this was not a boating accident"
but still the original lines from Clark are really starting to ring bells in my head, as a man can only do so much,say so much, until he gets to the stage where it's "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn"

You should check out Bon Cop, Bad Cop if you like the comedy/cop show dramas. *Very* good ... and Patrick Huard is worth a look His nose isn't all that straight, but the six-pack .... . :-D (There are also some French accent * in jokes* which weren't apparent to me until I watched with the commentary on.)

Memorable lines:

The body is straddling a Québec-Ontario border sign on the highway. They are trying to decide who has jurisdiction ... neither side wants it until a competition begins.

Toronto Cop: His heart is in Québec.
Montreal Cop: Ya l'Ontario dans l'cul aussi!
Toronto Cop: What ?
Montreal Cop: But his ass belongs to you.

The film is done in multiple combinations of French and English.

Lafileuse, alas the only vague French Canadian film starred Gerard Depardieu who played a gangster going to North America. Not even sure if it was Quebecois! But credit to the French industry that their leading actor is not a 6-packed muscle man ala Jackman but a broken-nosed rugby-playing restaurateur.

Memorable lines from Tank Girl (great film!):

"This comet came crashing into the earth. BAM! Total devastation. No celebrities, no cable TV, *no water*! It hasn't rained in 11 years. Now, 20 people gotta squeeze into the same bathtub ... So it ain't all bad."

"Shut up! They ain't gonna be no tea and crumpets!"

Have you seen some of the French Canadian films? Loved Bon Cop, Bad Cop; C.R.A.Z.Y.; and Les Aimants (and I rely heavily on the subtitles!)

:-D

Posted by: lafileuse at January 12, 2009 10:22 PM

Lafileuse, the other film I'd recommend is "Les Rois Mages" which is in "Les Visiteurs" genre. The Three Kings of Magi are transported to modern day Paris to find the Son of God. There's a fantastic scene at McDonalds - the French line of would you like fries with that. And killing pigeons to eat. "Mon copain, mon copain!" ROFL.

Anyhoo, I agree that the American version of The Visitors was a complete and utter disaster. Jean Reno managed to go through it with his dignity but not much else. I like la Comtesse de Montmirail in Les Visiteurs 1. She was fantastic. I spent several time wasting minutes reviewing comments on her performance as "a stereotypical modern-day French aristocrat of the countryside." Ah the new aristos - not stuck up but have the wherewithal of not being surprised by anything at all ("la nez!"). One other memorable scene is when the knight says "This kitchen is far too small" and her response is "yes but it is cosy and we have had some memorable occasions where it has served its purpose."

Ok I'll stop now :-)

"Mais, Monsieur Ouille, pas avec votre poncho!" - Les Visiteurs I

Translation: But Mr. Ouille, not with your poncho (The Visitors 1)

To those not familiar with the film, Les Visiteurs is about a knight (Jean Reno) and his lackey from the moyennage (or Middle Ages) who are transported to modern-day France. They end up at the residence of the descendant of the knight and she tells the lackey not to clean the floor with his clothes which she mistakes for a poncho but is actually rags.

Some great lines from that film. Highly recommended. Always good to make you laugh no matter how desperate you are in.

"Screw em!"

Quote by Anthony Hopkins who played Col. William Ludlow in The Legends of the Fall.

I'll never forget how he says it especially towards the end of the movie when he's older with the long white hair, nearly blind in one eye and appears almost crippled

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

Will especially stop fantasizing about a particular person who embodies all these things.

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?

'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.
