MoeFOH Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 What are your favourite classic movies or quotes? Here's why I ask: I get rather letdown by the usual fare at cinemas, these days, and I find myself regularly delving back in to some old school stuff--even if I've seen it before. But there are so many great old flicks out there that I haven't seen; it's thoroughly worth the investment to track them down and take on a viewing. My daughter is currently studying film noir movies at school, and just the other day she was telling me about how she had to compare Double Indemnity (1944) and Blade Runner as examples of the genre. She was raving about Double Indemnity and fully sinking the boot into Blade Runner. Well, I always liked Blade Runner, but, curiously enough, I hadn't considered it film noir nor had I seen Double Indemnity. I managed to get a copy of the latter and thoroughly enjoyed it. Just superb film-making. I've now suggested she watch The Third Man. One of my all-time favourites. As it is for many a film buff. Anyhow, it got me pondering what else is out there that I might come by via recommendation. I usually just start with an actor and delve in to their career titles. Michael Caine is a good go-to (I'm a big fan of Steve Coogan's & Rob Brydon's The Trip movies, so you can start with a classic quote and go from there!). Get Carter (1971) is my latest revisit... "You're a big man, but you're in bad shape." Ha ha... Rather relevant after my trip to the States and coming back looking like a horse that had been in a good paddock for way too long... Classic flick this one. He was killer back in the day, ol' Michael Caine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 My favourite quotable movies are The Big Lebowski and Nacho Libre. Amongst my friends; if any of us start a quote from either of those movies, the entire script will be quoted nonstop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedgeybaby Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Get Carter is one of my favorites. The Third Man is excellent - the cuckoo clock scene is fabulous, and when we first see Harry Lime, just wonderful. Zulu of course. Fasans of em Goodfellas - as far back as I can remember 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeedubbya Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Sticking with Coen Brothers, O’ Brother Where Art Though has some great lines. “Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?” “Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere.” ”No thank you Delmar, a third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without beddin’ her back down.” ”Damn, we’re in a tight spot!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElJavi76 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hey man... This aggression will not stand man. ~ Lebowski Across this line you do not... Oh and dude Chinamen is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian American, please. ~ Lebowski Is this your homework Larry? Is this your homework Larry? Larry is this your homework? You're killing your father Larry! ~ Lebowski Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules? MARK IT ZERO! ~ Lebowski Clearly, you're not a golfer. ~ Lebowski Brandt can't watch or he has to pay $100 ~ Lebowski I am the walrus... ~ Lebowski Dude, what's wrong with Walter? STFU Donny! ~ Lebowski I've watched it about 3 dozen times. I just wanna make sure I'm not kissing Nat King Cole over here ~ Pesci in Goodfellas Karen, we needed that Karen! ~ Goodfellas Ohhhhhh, you broke your cherry. ~ Goodfellas Good huh? You'd probably do a lot better with Manischewitz but it'd look funny on my table. ~ Goodfellas Goodfellas is in my top 3 films of all time. Other great lines from Donny Brasco, Dumb and Dumber, Casino, and so many other films are eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbflash80 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Im a child of the 80s so my brother and I will relentlessly quote national lampoons vacation, easy money, coming to america, predator, commando, fletch, etc...but a very underrated quoteable film is Bloodsport...mostly for the accent that JCVD gloriously displays... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
