My father’s favorite movie ever, Patton.

In a scene General Patton starts off with “Be seated. Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung.”

I like the formulation of this in Jingo, by Pratchett:

"It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country," he read. "This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind."

Aunt Martha: For a gallon of elderberry wine, I take one teaspoon full of arsenic, then add half a teaspoon full of strychnine, and then just a pinch of cyanide.
Mortimer Brewster: Hmm. Should have quite a kick.

Arsenic and Old Lace 1944

Can't read this without Boris Karloff's voice in my head. Then I remember he is also the Grinch and ... does that make this enough of a Christmas movie for me to call it one?

People think it is, but it's not actually Boris Karloff in the movie. There is a joke in th movie that he looks like him.

Just watched with my family Dexter Proctor the Ten year old doctor.

The last line has bastardised the best movie phase, and equally impressive.

"It's full of stars!" - 2001

That's in the opening of 2010, but it isn't said in 2001.

An instance where book and film diverge; Bowman's passage through the StarGate is described vividly by Clarke but Kubrick thought it unfilmable at first.

"Request permission revise list of spares." John Gregson as Captain F S 'Hookie' Bell, HMS Exeter, in Powell & Pressburger's 1956 The Battle Of The River Plate.
