Favorite Movie Lines

[A Desert Rose]

Miles from Sideways:

I don't know. It's a hard grape to
grow. As you know. It's thin-skinned,
temperamental, ripens early. It's
not a survivor like Cabernet that
can grow anywhere and thrive even
when neglected. Pinot needs constant
care and attention and in fact can
only grow in specific little tucked-
away corners of the world. And only
the most patient and nurturing growers
can do it really, can tap into Pinot's
most fragile, delicate qualities.
Only when someone has taken the time
to truly understand its potential
can Pinot be coaxed into its fullest
expression. And when that happens,
its flavors are the most haunting
and brilliant and subtle and thrilling
and ancient on the planet.

(I like to think this is a description of me, as well.)

 

[A Desert Rose]

also from Sideways...

Jack to Miles
Did you drink and dial?



Aren't we all guilty of this at some point in our lives? LOL

ahhh Miss Rose good morning ......wonderful thread idea this is going to be brilliant ..........trust you ....smiles

I have one from As Good As It Gets spoken by Jack Nicholson playing Melvin Udall

"It's not true. Some have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just no one in this car. But, a lot of people, that's their story. Good times, noodle salad. What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you're that pissed that so many others had it good."

I only just recently saw Walk The Line which I loved there are so many lines in that but they don't 'read' well .......much was in the delivery.

 

[SpectreT]

Walter Matthau in Out to Sea

"There's no such thing as too late - that's why they invented dead!"

Thank you and I'm sure it will be another of my threads that falls off the page in a few hours.

It doesn't matter if the lines are more in the delivery or not... you remember the lines and how they were delivered and that's all that counts. Case in point are these lines from Soapdish starring Kevin Kline and Sally Field:

Jeffery: I don't think you realize
how serious this operation is.
It's very serious. You will not
have a brain when it is complete.

Celeste: I don't want my brain. I don't
need it. Take the goddamn thing.

Jeffery: It's gone.

I love this movie and these are my favorite lines. LMAO.. and when I remember how they are said and who's saying them, it makes me laugh even the more.

 

[A Desert Rose]

Walter Matthau in Out to Sea

"There's no such thing as too late - that's why they invented dead!"

LMAO... this is one I don't think I've ever seen but will be looking for now. I love the late great Matthau.

Pulp Fiction ~ Epiphany in the Coffee Shop

Jules: Wanna know what I'm buyin' Ringo?

Pumpkin: What?

Jules: Your life. I'm givin' you that money so I don't hafta kill your ass. You read the Bible?

Pumpkin: Not regularly.

Jules: There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17 ... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.

From The 40-Year Old Virgin:

Andy: ???

Cal: Be David Caruso in Jade.

Andy: Oh, I know exactly what you mean. Thanks.

[A Desert Rose]

To Kill a Mockingbird

Sheriff Heck Tate to Atticus:
But maybe you'll tell me it's my duty to tell the town all about it, not to hush it up.
You know what'll happen then.
All the ladies in Maycomb, includin' my wife,
will be knockin' on his door bringin' angel food cakes.
To my way of thinkin', takin' one man,
who done you and this town a big service,
and draggin' him with his shy ways into the limelight...
To me, that's a sin.

NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?!? You think I'm qualified?.

"So there, I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really, but sure enough I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show."

Oh Brother where art thou?

Well Pete, I figured it should be the one with the capacity for abstract thought. But if that ain't the consensus view, then hell, let's put it to a vote.


Them syreens did this to Pete. They loved him up and turned him into a horny toad.


Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.
