From The Unforgiven

Near the end Gene Hackman is lying on the floor. Clint Eastwood stands above him, gun pointed at his head.

Hackman, "I don't deserve to die like this."

Eastwood, "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."

(He kills him.)

"Follow the spiders!" Why couldn't it have been "follow the butterflies" instead???

Ron Weasley, arachnophobiac.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the first movie ever to have been labelled with a warning sign that says "Not to be seen if you have a fear of spiders" or something like that.

Hitchcock's The Parradine Case

IMO a weak film: Selznick, trial film, a bad Gregory Peck as an English lawyer; but it has its moments, including Charles Coburn saying to his daughter,

"Where did you get this unfeminine interest in things?"

 

[Svenskaflicka]

In Desperately Seeking Susan, Rosanne Arquette works as a magician's assistent, and is carrying a cage of doves with her when she gets attacked in a dark alley by a mystery man. The police finds her, mistakes her for a hooker, and put her in their car, with cage and all. Sitting next to her in the car is a real hooker, a black woman, chewing gum, who looks at her, frowns, and says:

"How do you use the birds?"

"I'll do my best."

"Your best? I don't want to hear about your best. Losers whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen."

Oh boy, here goes -

Aaaaiiiiiieeeeee! Macha, macha!

This would be Ringo Starr or Dennis Quaid or Shelley Long in the famous film "Caveman."

My most profuse and humble apologies - this is submitted by my hubby.

(My favorite line was always "Tunda zug zug Lana" - spoken by the late, great John Matuzak)

Favorite TV quote comes from the Simpsons:

Homer, watching a beautiful meteor shower with his family: "I wish God were alive to see this."

Favorite movie quote... tough one. I'll settle for Searching for Bobby Fischer, at the very end. The main character is about to win the final match of the national (junior) chess championship, and he offers a draw to his opponent, who glares at him and says something like, "What are you talking about? The match isn't over yet."

And the young protagonist replies: "Yes, it is. You just don't know it yet."



p.s. Welcome back, sweetsubsarahh. The world is a poorer place without you.

Ps. Wasn't "Cat Ballou" the movie where Lee Marvin had the removable nose?

Yes, it was.
He won an Oscar for his dual roles in that film.

Don't call me stupid

From The Unforgiven

Eastwood, "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."

Ooo Unforgiven has some great ones, I like the scene when Bill starts drinking again:

Bill Munny: Hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess he had it comin'.
Bill Munny: We all got it comin', kid.

But hey, let's not leave out Ruthless people:

Sam Stone: [answering the phone] Hello? Debbie? Yeah, Debbie's here, who's this? Well, Ralph, uh, Debbie can't talk right now, my dick's in her mouth. How about if I have her call you later when I'm done?
[hangs up and laughs] I love wrong numbers.


I forget, was this movie lines or movie scenes? Why hasn't anyone mentioned A Fish Called Wanda? What are we stupid or something?

Not the worst. I do think you have to muck out the bottom of the barrel to find it, however.

Movies I feel are truly awful include "High Spirits" with Daryl Hannah, or "Anaconda" with Jon Voight (as a Mexican?) or perhaps "Ishtar" with Dustin Hoffman. You need to smack yourself in the forehead if you actually sit through those entire flicks.

Of course, we haven't even begun to discuss films of the porn genre. How about "The Cockateer" with Buck Adams?

My favorite line from that work of art would have to be, "Ram it home, big boner!"

I also like it when the villainess orders the villain to "Show 'em your pistol, Screwball!"

But then T. T. Boy waves his naked dick around (making the woo woo noise) so she is forced to say, 'No, I mean your gun!"

P.S. Um, not that I've actually SEEN a porno flick!

 

[Guest]

From the crappy Robin Hood movie starring Kevin Costner, nearly as bad an actor as Keanu Reaves. BUT, as the Sherriff of Nottingham, the deliciously voiced sex fantasy partner of my and Svenskaflicka's dreams - Alan Rickman.

Rickman (to a wench): You! My room. 10:30 tonight.

Rickman (to a second wench): You! 10:45... And bring a friend.

A much better line than that in the same film is where thetwo FBI guys arrive and the Afro-American one says, "I'm Agent Johnson, and this," indicating the WASP one, "is Special Agent Johnson."
There's a pause and then he adds, "No relation."

Almost any film with Daryl Hannah would qualify. Remember "Splash" when she plays a mermaid?

I like "High Spirits" for Peter O'Toole. His acting is dead pan as if he can't believe he is involved in this rubbish.

I still think that "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is the best worst film. Any of the dialogue would qualify for this thread. From memory "The Chief's dead. Murdered. And somebody did it."

I also like the scene where they drive up in a white car in the dark, get out of a black car in daylight, shut the door of the white car and enter the deserted cemetery in the dark.

The director's "message" at the end of the film has to be seen to be believed.

True. But it had to be a Gruber line because Purdy and Flicka have some weird fixation on Alan Rickman. Here's a Gruber quote regarding Agents Johnson & Johnson: "You ask for miracles, I give you the F...B...I." (It's all in the delivery.)

Snooper, I'm also a fan of Assistant Chief o' Police Dwayne T. Robinson's reaction when said agents get blown up: "Whoa. Guess we're gonna need some new FBI guys."

And about wretched films, is anyone gonna screw up the courage and torture themselves with Gigli?
