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!

Later in The Blues Brothers. Elwood Blues asks the owner at Bob's Country Bunker, what sort of music they have there.

She looks chuffed and says, "Oh, we have both sorts. Country and Western."

Oh, the Blues Brothers. There are so many!

"Nobody puts Baby in a corner" (From "Dirty Dancing",1987).

NOT my favourite film quote, but memorable because it is famous and weird - I, and many others, think that the in the corner, or sitting with your back against the wall, is a good place to sit! You have great overview! But Johnny does not agree.

I prefer...

"I carried a WATERMELON?! " 🍉

I can’t remember the exact quote but field of dreams where he says ‘it’s my father, but before life broke him’- I cry hysterically every time!!

or My best friend’s wedding- ‘if you love someone you have to say it right then, say it loud, otherwise the moment will pass’ again always made me cry!!
