HopsGuy Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 I always got the part about the gun, but didn't the Caddie have a registration? 671740[/snapback] "Hey, he was our driver. We don't know who shot him. Probably one of the other families."
plenzmd1 Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 opening 15 minutes or so from "full metal jacket' Brandos scene in the jungle in Apocolypse now Grant and Russell in the press room "his Girl friday" one scene after another Princess Bride
IDBillzFan Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Oh yeah, I'll add Brando singing Luck Be A Lady in Guys and Dolls(cause I just watched the new DVD tonight). 671601[/snapback] Wow. Consider me fully impressed. I had no idea the movie was re-released. I might add that "Sit Down, You're Rocking The Boat" by Nicely Nicely was a great song, if not scene. (Don Henley does a raggae-like version of that song in "Leap of Faith," by the way.) Wow. Rico. Watching the new Guys and Dolls DVD. Fuggin'-A.
ch19079 Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 "You met me at a very strange time in my life" The final scene in fight club, as the buildings are destroyed in the background. EDIT: i have to add: The scene in Braveheart where the future king throws the sword and charges the british. "No, not again. I... why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to God, one of these days.. Ah. Ah. Ah. I just kick this piece of **** out the window." Office Space "That smell, that gasoline smell... smelled like..... victory" Apocalypse Now
Indy Dave Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possible fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives, and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall - you need me on that wall. We use words like honor; code; loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
SilverNRed Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 I'm not sure on that one, either. Can anyone that read the book confirm? Coppola made him look pretty sick when he (Paulie) was at the house. Sonny was the type to blame him (righfully) for the outcome of the shooting. I dunno. He probably should have been clipped for even thinking of stealing Connie's wedding purse. 671744[/snapback] Well, I read the book and I can't remember (probably because I read it back in 1999, when the Sabres were making their Cup run). The original The Godfather by Mario Puzo is a great read and the first two movies are very true to it (the events in the novel cover all of the first movie and the young Don Corleone scenes from Part II). It's not one of those "Oh, the book is SO MUCH better" things but it's a great read because it fleshes some things out more that they could never squeeze into a movie. Highly recommended.
Ghost of BiB Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 "Hey, he was our driver. We don't know who shot him. Probably one of the other families." 671747[/snapback] From the back seat? Talk about letting your guard down... I wish I still had the book. Had a first edition lost many moons ago. Coppola did a fantastic job, but as with anything else there's a lot more in the book. There's only about a thousand scenes...several have already been brought up. Borrowing on some of those... First 30 minutes of "Saving Private Ryan" Cantina scene from "Badge of Honor" The look on Michaels face when he realizes it was Fredo. The graduation drill from "Stripes" (My platoon in Germany used to do that for laughs, along with the dialogue-I got to be Bill Murray) The rain of ashes as they get off the train in "Shindler's List" Afternoon Delight in "Anchorman", just too silly not to laugh. (runner up to punting Baxter off the bridge) The scene where Gregory Peck's arms and mind leave him in "12 O'Clock High" Final scene in "No Way Out". Never saw that one coming. Final scenes in "The Usual Suspects" Didn't see that one coming, either (Though should have) The bank robbery and firefight in HEAT. As overdone as a lot of the movie was-that was awesome. The Rangers and Delta's leaving the mission brief in "BlackHawk Down". Been in those ridiculous situations...the line "What's not to like?" says it all. Blues Brothers driving through the mall calmly discussing new boutiques. Hannibal and Clarice's first meeting. He won the Oscar right there. The "Holy Hand Grenade" scene. Followed by the swallows. Many more...
BuffaloBud Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 The penultimate closing scene to Schindler's List where they made the ring for Mr. Schindler and presented it to him before saying goodby.
Gary M Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Marsellus: Naw man. I'm pretty !@#$in' far from okay. Butch: What now? Marsellus: What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' ******s, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass. Butch: I meant what now between me and you? Marsellus: Oh, that what now. I tell you what now between me and you. There is no me and you. Not no more.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Anyone ever see Requiem for a Dream? It's a really f'd up movie about drug abuse. The last couple minutes where it shows what's going on with each of the charecters is intense. It's damn depressing, but it's a real good movie. It will make you never want to do "hard" drugs.

Acantha Posted April 27, 2006 Author Posted April 27, 2006 Define "Hard Drugs" for those of us who haven't seen it. 672188[/snapback] Well, the worst was crack, but it also showed possible disturbing fallout of getting addicted to uppers and downers. (used for diet pills) Quite a disturbing movie. But it does star one of my favorite hotties...Jennifer Connelly.

Fuggin'-A. 671752[/snapback] The only one wasn't anamorphic & looked like crap, this one is 16x9 & the colors are much more vivid... could be a tad sharper, but overall big improvement, I give it a thumbs-up! Stubby Kaye is pretty good, but B.S. Pully is my fav (apart from Brando & Frank, of course).

The one time I smoked it, it screwed up my drunk. I was ready to go to sleep. Screw that, bad dreams.

(used for diet pills)Quite a disturbing movie. But it does star one of my favorite hotties...Jennifer Connelly. 672192[/snapback] It's actually deeper than that. It's about the relationship between a son (addicted to herion more so than crack) and his relationship with his mother (addicted to a game show diet pills). It's a pretty intense movie that makes most who watch it never want to do drugs but makes me want to take a walk back down dark alleys. But I'm a sick !@#$.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 I have three. I am a huge Stanley Kubrick fan: The first is from "Full Metal Jacket": Joker: If you don't put that thing away, we're in a world of sh--! Pyle: I *AM* in a world...of sh--. BANG! The second is from "Spartacus": Roman General (to slave rebels): If you provide us the one named Spartacus, your lives will be spared! Slave 1,2,3 etc...: "*I* am spartacus!" And lastly, though i DESPISE Stephen King, is "The Shining": "HEEEEEEEEEERE'S JOHNNY!"

I love when he's out all of his money and he tells Nathan Detriot that to change his luck he will now play with his own dice. The language in the film was just terrific; kind of like a proper rogue, if there was ever such a thing. It was like everyone avoided the use of contractions. I paraphrase, but I remember it to the effect of... "Big Jules, I do not wish to imply that you might cheat, so I hope you do not mind if I should look at your dice." He looks at the dice, and they are just white cubes. "Big Jules, there are no spots on these dice." "It's okay. I remember where they were." "So you are going to roll the dice and then tell us where the spots USED TO BE?" I must get the new DVD right away. Thanks for the heads up. Not sure there is another poster on this board who has such a fondness for that flick. Lot's of animosity between Brando and Sinatra in terms of songs sung, top billing, etc.

Sinatra wanted the Sky Masterson role bad, and was none-too-pleased when it went to Brando... comes with a big scrapbook too, though I haven't looked at it yet...it's on sale at Best Buy this week.
