Browsing the channels this eve and noted that Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark is on and made me think of one of my favourite quotes. It’s actually from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and it’s when he looks at Willie through the hole in the enclosing cave with such a look of fear / urgency / what-the-hell-are-you-doing-woman and says “we…are going…to die!”

tickles me every time!

"I don't advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hair are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight." - Withnail and I. Actually the entire script is quotable, eg "I feel like a pig shat in my head."

Another Erin Brockovich one (so many good quotes from this film but I love this one)

George asks for her phone number so he can take her out on a date...she asks which number do you want?

George:
How many numbers you got?
Erin Brockovich:
Oh, I got numbers comin' outta my ears. For instance: ten.
George:
Ten?
Erin Brockovich:
Yeah. That's how many months old my baby girl is.
George:
You got a little girl?
Erin Brockovich:
Yeah. Yeah, sexy, huh? How 'bout this for a number? Six. That's how old my other daughter is, eight is the age of my son, two is how many times I've been married -- and divorced; sixteen is the number of dollars I have in my bank account. 850-3943. That's my phone number, and with all the numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're gonna call it.

“I feel unusual.”

”Have you ever talked to a corpse, David? It’s boring.”

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
Michael Corleone.

Say it about once a week in our house and it always makes me laugh, thinking of Joey when he was Pacino's Butt Double 😂

Bridge of Spies:

Aren't you worried?
(Mark Rylace, very calmly) Would it help??

I try to remember that one, when in a tight situation . .

I love that too and also think of it when stressed.

‘Why’d you wanna marry me anyhow?’
’So I can kiss you anytime I want’

&&

‘He knew that it would take more than an apology to get you back. He’d have to conquer the world first and he’s been trying ever since’

My favourite film!

What is it though?

RhaenysRocks · 07/09/2024 22:08

"Ecstatic" Jafaar in Aladdin. . It's so dry and understated.

The scene in season 1 of the West Wing when Bartlett destroys a fundamentalist Christian radio broadcaster. It ends with "while you may be mistaking this for the weekly meeting of the ignorant tight ass club, in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits'.
