Favorite movie quotes

[DickandDoof]

Stell-lahhhh! . . . I want my baby down here. Stella, Stella!

I had a neighbour when I lived in Toronto who named her first-born Stella. Not surprisingly, we all had a great deal of fun calling her. I’d hate to be saddled with that name if I were a young girl.

Then Michael had to shoot McCluskey through the head. A good hitman makes sure the job is complete. Filmed at a read restaurant on White Plains Road in The Bronx. "Try the veal, it's the best in the city."

You asked Millie, not me, but I'd nominate Billy Wilder as a director. Actor: Edward G. Robinson.

Your participation is welcome, gunhilltrain. Billy Wilder made some fine movies as did Edward G. Robinson. Robinson was your quintessential gangster, but also excelled in The Ten Commandments:

“Where is your god now, Moses?”

As for me, I would go with Frank Capra (director) and Gary Cooper (actor).

If my ficverse psychologist were there, she would have responded with the following line- “Pay zero necessary attention to this fool, Sarah. You need to believe Kyle, as does everyone. To show you how much that is so, my big friend here is going to cut open his arm.”

Favorite line from another James Cameron film, Titanic-

“Put your hands on me, Jack!”

If the "big friend" is the Terminator - you must mean that? - then he's not going to cut his arm. He's going to kill Sarah is he's that close to her, right?

Robinson was also very good playing on the other side of the law as the insurance investigator in Double Indemnity. He was even good in his last movie, Soylent Green.

“My friends have overlooked my shortcomings, seen me through some dark days, and brightened up the rest of them. I'm glad to have them; I'm honored to have them; I'm lucky to have them.”

Murphy Jones (James Garner)

“ Emma Moriarity: Stay to supper, Murphy?
Murphy Jones: I won't do that unless I'm still here at breakfast.
Emma Moriarity: How do you like your eggs?”

I forgot the big BADA BOOM after he finished saying top of the world.

You seem very loveable, Millie. I’m not surprised they chose you.

The smikh is getting thick. Can the tokhes kising be far behind?

Cody Jarrett: Made it, Ma! Top of the world! From White Heat, 1949 James Cagney.

Cagney could project a kind of psychopathic evil at times, as in this scene from White Heat. Yet he won an Oscar for a musical, Yankee Doodle Dandy. One of his last roles was as a police commissioner in Ragtime.

An incredibly believable little tough guy. He was only 5' 5" tall.

Interesting that he married to the same woman from 1922 to the end of his life, not an easy feat in Hollywood. (Paul Newman did that too.) In his retirement, he raised horses on a couple of farms he owned. He loved horses ever since he first saw them in New York streets as a kid.

The T2 Terminator. Reprogrammed. Good guy. Not the bad one. Relax. And it’s the Stallone model. Just so Kyle doesn’t get alarmed.

I can't keep those Terminator movies straight, including the timelines. Was that the one where Schwarzenegger rips the roof off a hearse (under a tractor-trailer I think) and keeps driving it?

 

[gunhilltrain]

Damn, Stallone was in a Terminator movie in 2020. I was a little distracted around then, and so was everyone else in the world. So that was a reboot of a sequel?

 

[gunhilltrain]

Still a classic movie..
Can you dig it!!

No, I can't dig it. But I appreciate it anyway. Notice how Gun Hill Road appears on the map at the beginning. But that's the other station, the 5 train. Mine is about a mile west, the 2 train.

They seem to be headed for Pelham Bay Park, but it would more likely be Van Cortlandt Park. It was filmed in Brooklyn actually, when the Turnbull AC's show up.

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us—in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.

But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain.

And an athlete.

And a basket case.

A princess.

And a criminal.

Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club.
