[RandomKoolzip]

To males of a certain age, "Stand By Me" is more than a movie, it's a kind of talisman. It's one of my favorites, and everytime I see it I'm overcome with sentimental feelings.


I'll start:

"Nobody believes in that stuff about Moons and Goochers, Vern!"

"You guys wanna see a dead body?"

[Mutley]

1. Vern: This isn't funny. What am I supposed to eat?

Teddy: Why don't you cook your dick?
Chris: It'd be a small meal!


Great movie! :thumbsup:

[RandomKoolzip]

2. Teddy: "Meanwhile, I'll be on the other side....

...relaxing with my thoughts."

Chris: "You use your left hand or your right hand for that?"

One of the best movies of the 80's, and endlessly quotable.

[Mutley]

3. Haha! That was my next quote.

:D

Look, you guys can go around if you want to. I'm crossing here. And while you guys are dragging your candy asses across the state and back, I'll be waiting for you on the other side relaxing with my thoughts.

[redqueen]

4. heh...

Suck my fat one? Who told you you had a fat one?

[RandomKoolzip]

[Roon]

5. I forget which one said it

Don't call me your mom's pet names..

[RandomKoolzip]

[Roon]

16. I am not sure

I wish I could remember

[fizzgig]

26. gordie said it

one of my all time favorite movies (i had it memorized by the time i was 7 or so)

[dolo amber]

6. Some guy says something about his dad and the other guys says

"Bullshit!"

And then the first guy says "Bull true!"

:D

We used to say that all the time. I might have to recycle that one.

[RandomKoolzip]

10. No, that was Bertolucci's "1900."

No...wait...I think you're right....

[ohiosmith]

8. .

Gordie: Mickey is a mouse, Donald is a duck, Pluto is a dog. What's Goofy...?

Teddy: He's a dog, he's definitely a dog...

Chris: He can't be a dog, he wears a hat and drives a car...

Vern: Yeah, that is weird. What the hell is Goofy?

[RandomKoolzip]

13. "The 64,000 dollar Question HAs to be rigged.

No one could know that much about opera..."

[jane_pippin]

9. I liked the part where River Phoenix is in it.

Ahhh, childhood crushes. Yay for you.

[RandomKoolzip]

11. That was MY favorite part too!

If only we could all have remained blissfully ignorant of his creepy-ass crazed-sex-hippie family....(sigh)

[Deep13]

14. "Just you, Ace."

[RandomKoolzip]

15. "Bite my ass, Choppy!"

[DixieBlue]

17. I love the whole bit with Chopper ...

Milo: Chopper, sic'em, Boy!
The Writer: Now he said, "Sic'em, Boy", but what I heard was, "Chopper, sic balls!"

[LostinVA]

18. Pez. Cherry-flavored Pez.

[GirlinContempt]

19. i am acting my age. Im in the prime of my youth and I'll only be young onc

Yeah, but you're gonna be stupid for the rest of your life

[Va Lefty]

20. Gordie (to Ace): Suck my fat one, you cheap dimestore hood.

[The2ndWheel]

21. I never had friends later on

like the ones I had when I was twelve.

:cry:

Gordie: Mickey is a mouse, Donald is a duck, Pluto is a dog. What's Goofy?
Teddy: He's a dog, he's definitely a dog...
Chris: He can't be a dog, he wears a hat and drives a car...
Vern: Yeah, that is weird. What the hell is Goofy?

[tigereye]

22. can't remember any specific lines

but that is a great, powerful and fun ensemble movie. Perfectly captures small town childhood....

( and young Wil Wheaton is adorable - I didn't even know that was him until I bought a copy recently)

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

23. "We talked into the night.

The kind of talk that seemed important until you discovered girls."



(There's a great little ensemble piece of a somewhat similar ilk which came out last year, called Mean Creek. The cast are universally great, but Carly Schroeder stands out as one to watch out for:

[Mad_Dem_X]

24. "We better run, Eyeball...

they got dibs!"

Keifer Sutherland - the ultimate bad boy. Mmmm!

[Mad_Dem_X]

25. "Sleeper hold! Sleeper hold!"

"Annette's tits are great."
"Yeahhhh!"

[SacredCow]

27. It would have to be...

Vince Desjardins: I'll tell you how they're gonna find him. Ten years from now, some hunter's gonna go in the woods to take a leak, wind up pissing on his bones.

Charlie Hogan: I bet you a thousand bucks, they'll find him before then.

Eyeball: Bet you two thousands bucks, they don't.

Charlie Hogan: Well, asshole...

Billy Tessio: Hey, what's the big deal? Who cares?

Ace: Why, don't you two just shut the fuck up? If either of you assholes had $1000, I'd kill you both.


Ace had a rather elegant way of expressing himself....

[Dukkha]

28. Okay, you guys can go through the woods

but I am going right here across And when you guys will get to the other side, I will be sitting in there, relaxing with my thoughts.

Do you use your left hand or right hand to do that?
