Ok, so it is more than one line, but it is my favorite lyric from the BOSS!

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win.

One of my favorite Boss songs! Of course he has a lot of great lyrics.

Without a doubt, it's from the movie Office Space - our unmotivated hero is meeting with the consultants who say something to the effect of "You've been missing a lot of work lately" The response - "No, I haven't missed it at all"

Good one OT


"I'm your huckleberry"


Doc Holiday (Val Kilmer) - Tombstone

I thought it was "I'll be your huckleberry." But maybe not? Anyway it was perfect. I loved when Ringo did his fancy pistol moves and Doc mocked him with his little tin cup. Also the exchange in Latin. Good movie.


My absolute favorite movie is Local Hero. (Great soundtrack by Mark Knopfler, too.) It was quirky before quirky became trendy. Takes place in Scotland and has gorgeous scenery. The humor is very dry and low key--it's all in the delivery, so reading it here will likely not provide the full impact.

Mac is a Texas oilman sent to purchase a small harbor village in Scotland. The townspeople get all excited because they know they will become wealthy.
As anxiety rises, tempers flare.

Townsman: Are you sure there are two l's in dollar, Gideon?
Gideon: [angrily] Yes!... An I know there're two g's in bugger off!

Meanwhile, Mac falls in love with the town. Turns out the beach is owned by Knox, a guy who lives in a shack along the shore.

Mac: Where's the door here?
Gordon Urquhart: There is no door. Just knock on the window.
Mac: How do you do business with a man who has no door?
Victor: The ethics are just the same.

One of my favorite quotes is from Woody Guthrie: Take it easy, but take it.

Any line from "The Hudsucker Proxy"by the Cohen brothers, starring Paul Newman, Tim Robbins, Charles Durning etc. My cult favorite!

 

[RiverOtter]

"Son... You got a panty on yer head"


Raising Arizona - my favorite cult flick

 

[Wildernester]

The motto on the monument in the opening scene from Animal House: "Knowledge is Good"

Leave the gun. Take the Cannoli.

Caddyshack

After the Bill Murray character takes a bite of the Baby Ruth bar, he says, "It's not so bad," and the snooty wife of Judge Smells (played by Mrs. Howe of Gilligan Island fame) faints.
