We're mixing our lives together, Maily, and we'll never be able to unmix them again, and we'll never want to. I take you for what you are, and all that you are, and mix you with all of me, and I don't hold back nothing. When you're cold, and hungry, and afraid, so am I. I'm going to stay with you all that I can, take the best care of you that I can, and love you 'til I die.

You wear a peace button on your jacket, and you write “born to kill” on your helmet? Is that supposed to be some kind of sick joke private?

I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.


Great quote but different movies.

You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: Sure. Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy, so I can't ground him.
Yossarian: Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy. And I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying.
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: You got it, that's Catch-22.
Yossarian: Whoo... That's some catch, that Catch-22.
Dr. 'Doc' Daneeka: It's the best there is.

"Yossarian? What kind of name is Yossarian?"
"It's Yossarian's name, sir."

One of my favourite books.

Sir, the truth is, I talk to God all the time, and, no offense, but He never mentioned you.

Here's a good one for a hot summer day like today:

"You know, when it's hot like this, you know what I do? I keep my undies in the icebox."

Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Year Itch

Laura, 1944 Shelby Carpenter (Vincent Price) "I can afford a blemish on my character, but not on my clothes."

The Postman Always Rings Twice Frank Chambers (John Garfield) "With my brains and your looks, we could go places."

Body Heat 1981 Ned Racine (William Hurt) and Matty Walker (Kathleen Turner)
Ned: "Maybe you shouldn’t dress like that."
Matty: "This is a blouse and skirt. I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Ned: "You shouldn’t wear that body."

"We ain't even been to The Bronx before."

Supposedly Sol Yurick wrote The Warriors novel because he found West Side Story unrealistic. The movie version of his book (1979) is absurd in it's own way, but the cast seems to take it seriously and the location filming, graffiti and all, almost redeems it. Michael Beck and Deborah Van Valkenburgh were playing teenagers, I think, but both were in their twenties during filming. That's hardly unusual when portraying "youth" in films.

"Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years. Lady Dumbleton is an instance in point. To my own knowledge she has been thirty-five ever since she arrived at the age of forty, which was many years ago now."

- Lady Bracknell, The Importance of Being Earnest

Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Year Itch

I always thought that the Monroe character knows exactly what she is doing and enjoys teasing the hell out of Richard Sherman. He's almost too naive (despite his age) to realize it.

The Rockstar Warriors video game is pretty fun also.

My Cousin Vinny 1992

Vinny Gambini: It is possible that the two utes...
Judge Chamberlain Haller: ...Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word?
Vinny Gambini: Uh... what word?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Two what?
Vinny Gambini: What?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Uh... did you say "utes"?
Vinny Gambini: Yeah, two utes.
Judge Chamberlain Haller: What is a ute?
Vinny Gambini: Oh, excuse me, Your Honor...
Vinny Gambini: two YOUTHS.

Great quote but different movies.

What was the first movie? In Full Metal Jacket, they're standing in front of the bodies of people killed by the Viet Cong and the regular North Vietnamese Army. There were also reports that the South Vietnamese killed some too. War is always ugly.

I can't find that Frank Chambers quote on-line. However, he should have known when first saw Cora that she was one big red flag. I love how she continues to put her lipstick on and then closes the door.

The same goes for Walter Neff when he first meets Phyllis (Barbara Stanwyck).

It's probably been over twenty years since I've seen that movie. I assume Holman (McQueen) says that line? Hard to believe, but the studio built a full-size, seaworthy gunboat for the equivalent of about $2.5 million. Nowadays, they'd just CGI the thing. But it looked great in the film.
