Favourite Quotable Films.

Just thought I'd start a thread about peoples' favourite quotable films. I'd say one of my all-time favourite films that is packed with great quotes, is "Withnail & I". How could I not love a film that delivers lines such as "don't threaten me with a dead fish" and "we demand the finest wines known to humanity, and we want them here, and we want them now!".

Plus it launched Richard E Grant and Paul McGann's careers.

One of my all time favorite TV shows as a kid was the A-Team. They are about to have a movie come out, unfortunately with different actors as most the the original actors are now to old. The line I liked was (I love it when a plan comes together). That should go with most of what we do. We plan out our transition and if it comes together, we love it.

Love,

The Grammar Polices' worst nightmare, Yoda of Star Wars "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to the darkside"

"Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?" Jack Nicholson 1989 Batman movie. All time favorite quote.

We have a consensus, Donna Jean, Carolyn Marie, Jean Davis and I decided that the number one most quotable movie of all time is "Airplane" with "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles" right behind.

You can just imagine what the conversation was like.

"And don't call me Shirley!"

Star Trek

Excuse me… Excuse me. I’d just like to ask a question… What does God need with a starship?

-James Kirk, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Spock: Ahh, Mr. Scott, I understand you’re having difficulty with the warp drive. How much time do you require for repair?

Scotty: There’s nothing wrong with the bloody thing!

Spock: Mr. Scott, if we return to space dock, the assassins will surely find a way to dispose of their incriminating footwear, and we will never see the captain, or Dr. McCoy, alive again.

Scotty: Could take weeks, sir!

-Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life.

-James Kirk, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Spock: This is the new brig, Captain. It is escape-proof.

Kirk: How do you know?

Spock: The designers tested it using the most intelligent and resourceful person they could find. He failed to escape.

Kirk: This person didn't by any chance have pointed ears and an unerring capacity for getting his shipmates into trouble, did he?

Spock: He did have pointed ears.

-Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind.

-Data, to Borg Queen, Star Trek: First Contact

Who said this in 'Cool Hand Luke'

"What we've got here is...failure to communicate!"

One of those famous but little known character actors.

Another I like,

"I'll have what she's having"

and

"Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death"

Ah, the movies.

Someone is going to have to help me with the name of the movie. It's a quate i have used to lighten up some situations. In my best Jack Nicholson impersonation...."You want the truth. You can;t handle the truth!" The other one I like is from Beetlejuice, when he says, "Go ahead. Make my millenium."

"A Few Good Men" said to Tom Cruise playing a Navy JAG Lawyer at the beginning of the climax.

Right up there with 'Here's Johnny' and that great toast/restaurant scene in 5 Easy Pieces

Thanks Chloe for giving me the name of the movie. I was going crazy tryong to think of it. There is also another quote i like. Can't quote it exactely, but it's from the movie, Dances with wolves. When Kevin Costner's character state he wants to go west...to see it...before it is gone. Something I have always thought about. How great it would be, to see what this country looked like before technology etc. made it into something else.

Clint Eastwood movies are full of wonderful quotes.

One of my favorites is from "Unforgiven," when the Schofield Kid (Jamz Woolvett) tells William Munny (Eastwood) that the bad guys "had it coming."

Will Munny's reply: "We all got it coming, kid."

From the same movie, this exchange between Sheriff Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman) and Will Munny:

Little Bill: "You just shot an unarmed man."

Bill Munny: "He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend."

Wonderful movie. Also, lets not forget to give credit to the great screenwriters down through the years. They never get remembered by the public, and

deserve as much credit as the actors who delivered the lines.

"What we've got here is...failure to communicate!" Struther Martin

One of those famous but little known character actors.

Another I like,

"I'll have what she's having" "When Harry Met Sally" The woman in the dinner played by Director Rob Reiner's mother after watching Sally (Meg Ryan not me!) faking fits of ecstasy - that should get past the word filter and stay PG-13. :rolleyes:

and

"Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death" "Auntie Mame!" by the same Character.

Ah, the movies.

Just for your further edification.

There are so many, but the ones that came to my mind for now are:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

-"I was thinking how nothing lasts, and what a shame that is"

-"Did you know I was struck by lightining seven times?" LOL

-"You never know what's coming for you"

-"It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you."

-"You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go. "

Forest Gump

-"I'm not a smart man... but I know what love is."

-"You have to do the best with what God gave you."

-Lieutenant Taylor:"Have you found Jesus yet, Gump? "

Forest:"I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir. " LOL

-"Life's a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get. " (I had to put this in...)

-"What's normal anyways?"

Cast Away

-"You never know what the tide will bring"

Uhhh... there are just sooo many... That's enough for now I think ^_^

"Oh, I like this one... One dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other way, and this guy's sayin', "Whadda ya want from me?'" (Goodfellas) (Everything else Joe Pesci says in that movie also works.)

"Another day to live through. Better get started." (The Last Man on Earth)

"Who is that?" "Wayne Gretzky? On steroids?" (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) (Wayne Gretzky on steroids is my automatic response to who is that.)

"Thank God for rednecks!" (Zombieland)

"We've put lots of money into this project." "And pointy things!" (Hulk vs. Wolverine)

"It's you!" "Yeah, it's us! Who are we?" (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure)

In the movie "I shot Andy Warhol", and I think Andy said it to Candy Darling (who is a transvestite from the 60's) in real life as well.

Andy- "Oh Candy, how often do you get your period?"

Candy- "Oh I get it every day Andy, that's just how women I am!"

A Clockwork Orange style dialogue has someone crept into my speech patterns. I know it's also a book, but there's something about Mcdowell's delivery that is so quotable.

My favorite quotable movies are the Bill and Ted movies

"Be excellent to each other"

"Party on Dudes"

"If you're really us, then what number are we about to think of?"

"69 dudes!"

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.  
    • KathyLauren
      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.
