[Paladin]

69. Great script, steamy sex---and the Rule Against Perpetuities!

75. Nope

Think James Cagney

[VGNonly]

86. One Two Three

Another great film from Billy Wilder!

[Brother Buzz]

87. You got it!

A fun movie on many levels; a comedy propaganda film right it the middle of the cold war.

I just viewed a horrible 'colorized' version that totally undermined the power of a black and white film.

[VGNonly]

89. I detest colorized films.

This version is especially bad. The color/tone is all over the place. They don't even bother with colorizing most of the backgrounds. The audio sync is terrible. Ugh!

Another Wilder B/W gem is The Fortune Cookie. Especially notable for the first pairing of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Matthau won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this film as "Whiplash" Willie Gingrich.

[JoseBalow]

90. A compressed disk? are you sure?

Why do you think I wear this outfit, 'cuz I'm a dentist?

[Hope22]

We’re all full up here!😂

[Mad_Dem_X]

81. As Good As It Gets?

[Hope22]

82. 😁👍

My favorite line ever! 😂🤣

[Mad_Dem_X]

83. Funny - I've never seen that entire movie

But I remember that line!

[Hope22]

84. The movie has some great one liners.

It’s one of my favorite movies but then my family identifies with many of of the main character’s challenges so it is fun to see him conquer some of the hardest things. The line I quoted is a pretty harsh one but at times in my life I have thought it as self preservation / defense from family members. That is so fun that you remembered the line!😁💗

[Bristlecone]

78. "More feeling"

[Onthefly]

79. And there are simply too many notes...

[Harker]

80. "Amadeus." n/t

[SupportSanity]

131. True Grit.

Great movie.

[red dog 1]

[Brother Buzz]

98. Hello, Engine; I'm Jake Holman.

[VGNonly]

99. Main steam stop valve

[rogerballard]

100. Titanic

[Brother Buzz]

101. Main steam stop wow

Another extraordinary film on many levels.

I understand they built the San Pablo (diesel powered) for location shots in the Philippines, but built the triple expansion steam engine room in a Hollywood film studio.

[VGNonly]

103. The replica steam engine

is on display in Vista CA. The original vessel was built for the film. It was seaworthy and sturdy enough to spend about 10 years on commercial use. It was scrapped in 1975. My father was the engineering officer on LST-938, serving 1944-46. They had 2x diesel 900 hp power plants designed from locomotive engines. My Dad loved this film.

[Brother Buzz]

109. Vista? I visited that magical place forty years ago and thought I died and went to heaven

But I was so into steam rollers back in those days, I totally missed the steam engine.

[Niagara]

119. Correct, Mad_Dem_X!

[Niagara]

117. "What am I suppose to do? Grab the bumper with my teeth?"

[red dog 1]

120. "We're all hurting. All of us. But I'm thinking we got a part to play in all of this as well.

There's more than rain, Indians, and Northern blues troubling our roads. I've seen it myself, coming in from Wichita Falls,
Yeah. We're all hurting. These are difficult times."

[rogerballard]

121. The Grapes of Wrath

[red dog 1]

123. No a, much more recent movie

125. "I'll have a Pina Colada, not virgin. Wanna see my I.D.? Totally have it."

[rogerballard]

128. Legally Blond

I just heard this line recently and it is bugging me.

[Niagara]

129. That's not the movie.

It's in the comedy genre however.


You can keep guessing if you're up for it.

[SupportSanity]

133. What we've got here is failure to communicate.

[red dog 1]

134. Cool Hand Luke

Great film!

Welcome to DU!

[SupportSanity]

137. Correct

Thank you for the welcome!

[SupportSanity]

138. See man, that's the difference between us. You think we're fighting. I think we're finally talking!

[JoseBalow]

140. "I am a lousy lay... for a Mexican. For a gringo, I'm terrific."

[red dog 1]

141. "Then it's straight to the orphanage with you! You'll learn a thing or two there. I certainly did."

[Brother Buzz]

142. I remember the line, but not the film

The kid discovers the orphanage was the perfect finishing school for a life of crime, and after he left he became a mobster of the first order....or something.

What was the mobsters name?

[red dog 1]

165. Not a mobster

A police inspector named Gustave

[Brother Buzz]

167. Apparently I was thinking of a different film

I cheated and looked, and maybe I'm splitting hairs, but Gustave was a train station inspector with a gimp leg, not a police inspector.

[red dog 1]

168. Yeah, he was a railway inspector, not a police inspector

[red dog 1]

143. "That's fuckin' blasphemy. Elvis wasn't a Cajun."

[Harker]

146. "The Commitments." n/t

[JoseBalow]

164. How do you say Banana Daiquiri?

Banana Daiquiri

[Harker]

151. "He's a good man? He's the Prince of fucking Darkness."

[rogerballard]

155. Renfield

[Harker]

156. Harker knows Renfield... not him, rogerballard.

[Harker]

152. "I honestly think he's guilty... couldn't change my mind if you talked for a hundred years."

[LW1977]

154. Well, it is a pot luck. And believe me, when they open that pot, they're gonna need all the luck they can get.

[Harker]

158. That's my kind of Mistress! n/t

[Harker]

161. For the record, warped though it may be - not from one of Elvira's films. n/t

[JoseBalow]

174. "Your wife was just showing us her Klimt."

"You too, huh?"

[Mad_Dem_X]

[Mad_Dem_X]

183. I love that movie

"I don't believe this!" "Maybe it's a dream!"

[JoseBalow]

184. It's one of my all-time favorites!

I love everything about that movie

[stonecutter357]

176. "Oh yes, they float. They all float down here."

[Mad_Dem_X]

180. IT

[LeonidPlanck]

178. Nobody puts Baby in the...

…ah, Nevermind.

[Niagara]

185. Dirty Dancing

[LeonidPlanck]

188. Yeah, yeah...

It was a giveaway.

[Niagara]

190. For whatever reason, I didn't watch that movie until the year 2017

So when people would previously talk about "nobody puts Baby in the corner", I had no idea what they were talking about.

[LeonidPlanck]

199. You know what??

Don’t be ashamed for putting it off. I wear the fact that I’ve never seen a minute of Titanic like a badge of honor despite having been repeatedly henpecked to watch it.

You gotta have principles.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

179. "Little by little, the look of the country changes

because of the men we admire."

[Niagara]

191. Is it Hud?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

193. Yes, it is.

I did not see the movie when it first came out, but saw it around 1982 on TV. When that line was spoken I nearly fell off the couch. It's simply the most prescient line ever.

Link to the scene where that line occurs:

[Niagara]

195. Holy Hud, PoindexterOglethorpe!

I discovered this masterpiece during the pandemic.


This always makes my top favorite western films list!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

197. The original book it's based on,

Horseman, Pass By by Larry McMurtry is equally amazing. Different, understandably, but both the book and the movie are sensational and worth reading or watching. Both.

I've long wanted to either teach or take a class (I'm thinking community college level) I'd call "Book vs Movie", where you read the book, watch the movie, then discuss.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

198. Oh, and I've posted that line numerous times

during earlier iterations of this thread. No one has ever gotten it before.

I don't feel so alone.

[Niagara]

201. Thank you for the book recommendation. I wrote it down on my must read list.

There are several movies that seem to be a hit with some members here. I'll throw in a quote from these movies and they go unanswered. It happens.



Sometimes our noggins malfunction and it takes awhile to come up with the answer.

186. "Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"

187. The Breakfast Club (Judd Nelson)

[Niagara]

189. Hooray, Mad_Dem_X !

[Mad_Dem_X]

192. I've seen this movie so many times

I could probably quote it verbatim!

[Niagara]

194. Me too! You and I must have the similar likes with movies.

[JoseBalow]

196. "The son is the acorn."

[Chainfire]

202. "I missed the boat a long time ago."

Another favorite is, "The only way that I can keep a Tiger busy is by letting him shoot holes in me."

[Harker]

203. The second is from "Kelly's Heroes."

Oddball with the negative waves.

210. "Yes, I know that."

[JoseBalow]

[Not Heidi]

213. Make believe it's not just madness.

[Not Heidi]
