I've just watched Marley & me for about the 10th time and it still makes me cry even though I know most of the dialogue by now! It got me thinking about how certain films and lines stay close to your heart for different reasons... this films always reminds me of my childhood dog who we had for 12 years, his name was Shep and we loved him dearly... everyday there he would be waiting for us when we got off the school bus wagging his tail to greet us, even when he got old and weary we could rely on him to be there waiting in his usual place in rain, hail or snow! He really was a part of the family. Anyway my favourite lines from this film are "A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his".

You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.

From Dr Strangelove, said by Colonel "Bat" Guano, when reluctantly complying with a frantic request to shoot open a vending machine so that Peter Seller's character can get the change he needs to call the President from a payphone, and abort a nuclear attack on Russia that will end the world.

You're ALL individuals!
The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!
Brian: You're all different!
The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different!
Man in crowd: I'm not...

Well actually Peter Sellers played several different characters in the movie, this was was Group Captain Lionel Mandrake.

From The History Boys: "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out, and taken yours."

And also: "History is a commentary on the various and continuing incapabilities of men. What is history? History is women following behind with the bucket."

And while every line in Withnail & I is perfect, I couldn't c&p the entire script, so: "I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' oh so very special about a firm, young carrot."

Peter Sellers also played President Merkin Muffley. I did not know when I saw the movie that a merkin is a wig for covering the groin area, i.e. fake pubic hair.

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime
Just watched it this evening with my dd's.

Best last line of a film. Ever.

Ultimately we're all dead men. Sadly we cannot choose how, but we can choose how we meet that end, in order that we are remembered as men.

fruitandbarley · 02/12/2018 19:57

I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.

Wise Man #2: Capricorn.

Brian's mother: Capricorn, eh? What are they like?

Wise Man #2: He is the son of God, our Messiah.

Wise Man #1: King of the Jews.

Brian's mother: And that's Capricorn, is it?

Wise Man #3: No, no, that's just him.

Brian's mother: Oh, I was going to say, otherwise there'd be a lot of them.
