yeah I really find it hard these days to watch a pacino film. I'm afraid to say that he really slipped in a world of stupid thrillers made for dvd sales, and he seems like he is not even trying anymore...the thing is that maybe the fact that he won his only oscar, for the worst role he acted, out of those he was nominated for, had something to do with it. even "Carlito's Way", which was a good film seems to me like it was made to fast and is full of sloppy acting and direction. and he always seems to play the same role again and again. he's in my opinion if not the best, one of the top five actors ever, and he owes it to us to give us some more memorable characters, like he did in the 70s.

as for De Niro, who always comes to mind when I think of Pacino, I don't even wonna start. he can't sink any lower...there is only up, and I hope he finds his way.nowadays when I know his in a film I don't even bother.

Donnie: "Dear Roberta Sparrow, I reached into your book and... there's so many things i need to ask you. Sometimes I'm afraid of what you might tell me. Sometimes I'm afraid that you'll tell me that this is not a work of fiction. I can only hope that the answers will come to me in my sleep. I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to."

Basically all of the Big Lebowski has been uttered by me at one time or another but this just cracks me up every time I hear it:

"Well, say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, but at least it's an ethos."

"When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side 1 of Led Zeppelin IV."

- Mike Damone, Fast Times at Ridgemont High

From Knocked Up:

Alison: I'm pregnant.
Ben: F*ck off!
Alison: What?
Ben: What?

Hellraiser- your suffering will be legendary even in hell

Shaun of the dead- you got red on you

silence of the lambs- A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

the terminator- i'll be back

poltergiste- there hear

my favorite is probably

Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never met, never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a ****. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and ****in' play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the ****in' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin', 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure **** it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.

matt damon - good will hunting

the fact that he wrote it really makes it that much better too

Good Will Hunting is really an awesome movie.

This one from Office Space sums up my attitude to a lot of things...

Peter Gibbons: It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I really don't care.

LOL. Three for three with the typos on that one. :thumb:

Blues Brothers: We're on a mission from God.

Favorite movie quotes
 

i'm curious, what are everyone's favorite movie quotes.

One of mine is from a movie that I so-so enjoyed but everytime I hear it I crack up for some reason.

"And 'cause I was godzillionaire and I liked doing it so much. I cut that grass for free."

-forest gump

Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a ****ed-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.
-Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind

I could have made that introduction so much more epic.

There is a media thread for this, and I'm pretty sure there might even be a thread on this. Mod's might need to move it?

One of my favourite movie quotes are:

"When I grow up, I'm going to be an actor, singer, slut"

"Was it beautiful, when he spent himself inside you?"

- The Hairy Bird

Dances With Wolves
"Sir Knight! I have just pissed in my pants! And there's not a goddamn thing anybody can do about it!"

Snatch
"So what happens if he knocks him out?"
"Then I imagine we get killed before leave the building, and we get fed to pigs."

Pulp Fiction
"I wore this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. And now, little man, I'm giving it to you."

Romper Stomper
"We came to wreck everything... and ruin your life."

"Do me a favor? Don't scream. Just hear what I've gotta say... and then scream."

-Demon Knight

Fight Club
"Tyler Durden: It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. "
Fight Club
"Narrator: On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero. "
A Scanner Darkly
"Fred: [voiceover] What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me? Into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better, because if the scanner sees only darkly the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again."

Dogma: Rufus

He still digs humanity, but it bothers Him to see the **** that gets
carried out in His name - wars, bigotry, but especially the factioning of
all the religions. He said humanity took a good idea and, like always,
built a belief structure on it.

Deb: Um, hello. Would you like to look like this?
Napoleon Dynamite: This is a girl.
Deb: Because for a limited time only, Glamour Shots by Deb are 75% off.
Napoleon Dynamite: I already get my hair cut at the Cuttin' Corral.
Deb: Well, maybe you'd be interested in some home-woven handicrafts?
Deb: ... And here we have some boondoggle key chains. A must-have for this season's fashion.
Napoleon Dynamite: I already made like infinity of those at scout camp.



lol napoelon dynamite... GOSH

My favorite has to be from Boondock Saints: "When I raise my flashing sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will take vengeance upon mine enemies, and I will repay those who haze me. Oh, Lord, raise me to Thy right hand and count me among Thy saints."

but I also like this scene's quote
Donna: You killed my... my...
Rocco: Your what?
Donna: My...
Rocco: Your fuckin' what? Huh? Your what, bitch?
Rocco: [puts gun to his own head] I'll shoot myself in the head, you can tell me that cat's name! Go ahead! Your what? Your precious, little...
Donna: Skippy! Skippy!
Rocco: Oh, Jesus! What color was it, bitch?
Rayvie: Don't you fucking yell at her like that you prick!
Rocco: [turns gun on Rayvie] Shut your fat ass, Rayvie! I can't buy a pack of smokes without runnin' into nine guys you fucked!

It was alright. Pretty fairytale, though.

The Royal Tenenbaums

Eli: I wish you'd've done this for me when I was a kid.
Richie: But you didn't have a drug problem then.
Eli: Yeah, but it still would've meant a lot to me.

Singin' In The Rain

Lina: What's wrong with the way I talk? What's the big idea? Am I dumb or something?

Thanks Dad. - Jurrassic Park

Ex Girlfriend: "If we fvck I'm going to feel like shit tomorrow.
Jack: "That's OK with me"

-Hotel Chevalier

Awesome quotes, awesome movies. :clap:

You've inspired me to watch Singin' in the Rain again.

Woo! I love that movie.

Aw, **** I just noticed this one. I loved this when I saw it too. Did you know it's a part of Darjeeling Limited? What I love about this quote is that Jack isn't saying that to be a ****. His tone of voice carries a short line such a long way. Good one.

Yeah I knew it took place before the Darjeeling Limited

"I'd rather Crazy Glue my dick to the bullet train than fuck you."

-Bordello of Blood

Best thing to say to the drunk girl at a party.

American History X

"PUT YOUR TEETH ON THE CURB NOW"

I remembered after sleeping some key quotes that I absolutely love! "Oh Captain, My Captain" from The Dead Poet's Society, "Why don't you go suck a fuck" from Donnie Darko, and "Anything happens to my daughter, I got a .45 and a shovel, I doubt anybody would miss you" from Clueless!

We watched DPS in third and fifth form English. One of our teachers used to have this quote on her wall:

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer: that you are here; that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

We watched it for English too! It was really interesting pulling the movie and characters apart. I still cry when Neil dies. :(

Oh here's a bit that makes me laugh though:

Hopkins: [reading his poem] "The cat sat on the mat"
John Keating: Congratulations, Mr. Hopkins. You have the first poem to ever have a negative score on the Pritchard scale.

Dead Poets Society (1989) - Memorable quotes

DPS is so quotable - I'll admit that I tried standing on a desk after watching that film once, just for a new perspective on things. :laughing:

Anyway what's your excuse for being awake at 3 am? I'm meant to be studying for exams and am instead downloading a BBC doco on British history. :D

Haha I never actually considered doing that, I'm so going to stand on a desk now. I can't stand on the one in my room as its side is hanging on for dear life, and I'm not going to act as if I'm light as a feather!

Dammit I've been caught out being up at a ridiculous hour. I am meant to be sleeping, and my neck is not appreciating being in the position it is in my bed. I had a 24 take home exam that I finished at 5pm so you'd think I'd be dead by now! When's your last exam? Mines 22nd, my birthday! :(

I'm sick and have been coughing up blood today so I don't think I'll be getting to sleep at any sort of reasonable hour. I don't think I'll be getting any study done either.

My last is on the 26th and I can't wait... this semester has been such a drag and I want to go home!

Tombstone is always a classic.
Doc Holliday: In vino veritas.
Johnny Ringo: Age quod agis.
Doc Holliday: Credat Judaeus apella, non ego.
Johnny Ringo: Eventus stultorum magister.
Doc Holliday: In pace requiescat.
Tombstone Marshal Fred White: Come on boys. We don't want any trouble in here. Not in any language.
Doc Holliday: Evidently Mr. Ringo's an educated man. Now I really hate him.

The Big Lebowski (my favorite line):
The Dude: That rug really tied the room together.

The Weather Man.
Dave Spritz: Man, I'd like to put my face in there. Right in there. Tartar sauce. My hips are cold. Tartar sauce. That's when you know its cold. I like eating *****. Tartar sauce. A lot of guys don't. Well maybe they do. Maybe that's just black guys. Tartar sauce. What happened to the guy who was trying to fly around the world in a balloon? Did he make it? I should put some espionage or stolen plutonium in my novel. Tartar sauce. Spice it up. Neil Young. ****, its cold. Neil Young. Wh-why am I thinking about Neil Young. Neil Diamond. Neil... Theres not a lot of famous Neils. Is this Wednesday? I wish I had two ****s. I thought the whole family was going to learn Spanish together this year. That never really happened. I haven't had a Spanish omelette in a long time. Here we go.

Dave Spritz: I mean, I'll bet no one ever threw a pie at, like Harriet Tubman, the founder of the Underground railroad. I'll bet you a million ****ing dollars.

Give it up for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

" ::gasp:: Who said anything about slicing joo up, man? I just wanted to... carve a little Z in jour forehead!"
"This car is property of the World Bank! That money goes to Italy!.... You people voted for Hubert Humphery! And you killed Jesus!"

Attorney: "What the ****? What the **** are we doing out here in the middle of the god-damn desert? We need.. We need HELP!! Heeheeeheeheeheeheeheee.......... The truth......"
HST: "Truth?"
Attorney: "We're going to Vegas to croak a scag baron named Savage Henry."
HST: "It's true."
Attorney: "See, I've known him for years, but he ripped us off.."
HST: "And you know what that means."
Attorney: "And you know what that means."
HST: "It means we're going to cut his lungs out... and eat them."
Attorney: "That means Savage Henry has cashed his check."

"Tell me? How exactly does someone suck a fuck?!"

Alot of Tombstone fans in here, eh??

"WHY JOHNNY TYLER!!! The mad calf!! Where ya goin' with that shotgun?"

"Very cosmopolitan.."

"Why Ike?!! Whatever do you mean? Why Ike, does this mean that we are not friends anymore? You know, Ike. If I were to believe that you and I were no longer friends... I just don't think I could bear it."

"Perhaps Pharaoh just ain't your game. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!"

"You're no daisy! You're no daisy at all!.... Oh, poor soul... You were just too... high strung."

"Then again darlin', you may be the Anti-Christ."



All about the Doc.

Tombstone is one of my favorite movies EVAR!
