Blanche: ... Oh, if I only weren't stuck in this wheelchair, you wouldn't believe the things I would do!


Jane: But, Blanche, that's the whole point! You ARE stuck in a wheelchair!!! [cackles]


What's yours? :)

I'll think about it, but that movie was so damned creepy.

It would likely be something from Jay & Silent Bob - but please don't judge my intellect based on that!

I know this is sappy and predictable, but it's the honest answer to your question:

"There's no place like home." - The Wizard of Oz.

After that, I start into things like, "This town needs an enema!" - Batman.

Dunno why, but I like it.

"People who talk in metaphors should shampoo my crotch," is my favorite line from 'As Good As It Gets.'

DGrant! I'm surprised! I thought you'd be spouting off Citizen Jane, Manchurian Candidate, Scary Movie and those kind of smart films!

I've never seen AS GOOD AS IT GETS--sounds like I should be going to Blockbuster right now! :)

Two come to mind quite quickly
1, "Louie, I think that this is the beginning of a beautyiful Friendship" Casablanca
2, "Well nobody is perfect" Some Like it Hot

VERY Good, Mom!

Do you know that when they began working on the musical version of SOME LIKE IT HOT that was eventually titled SUGAR, the working title was NOBODY'S PERFECT?

Tiff - that's funny At heart, I am VERY much a sentimental romantic - overlayed with a bit of sarcastic wit. I save my intellectual endeavors for the written word, usually.

I save my intellectual endeavors for school.

So people, I promise I'm not as stupid as I appear on these boards.

Or something.

"I was a stand-up tomato: a juicy, sexy, beefsteak tomato. Nobody does vegetables like me. I did an evening of vegetables off-Broadway. I did the best tomato, the best cucumber... I did an endive salad that knocked the critics on their ass."

M_E I have been in love with Tony Curtis since I was 4 (may be it was his Cary Grant voice, I don't know) To this day I can not look at that man and not sighhhhhhhhh.

Al Pacino as LtCol Frank Salde in Scent of A Woman..

"Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a F***in' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. T!ts. Hoo-hah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: pvssy. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son? I'm givin' ya pearls here."

mom - my mother was always a Tony Curtis fanatic. She's never been someone to make a fuss over someone when she met them, but when she ran into Tony in Vegas, she acted like a 14yo schoolgirl. It was great fun to watch

Mom,

I like how in SOME LIKE IT HOT he uses his "Cary Grant" voice with Marilyn Monroe--only to be told by a seething Jack Lemmon--"NOBODY talks like that!" :)

[mominator]

Posted: 11/4/04 at 4:41pm

DG I am so verrry jealous right now!
M_E that scene was so funny. Almost as good as when Jack Lemmon was laying on the bed with the maraccas.

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 11/4/04 at 4:44pm

I liked it when Lemmon and Joe E. Brown did the Tango with the musicians blindfolded!
