Challenge us with a non-famous line from a movie

Yes it is.

“Empathy was yesterday. Today, you’re wasting my motherfucking time.”

“I only have one speed. Balls out.”

Heat.

That prison comedy with Gene Wilder (is it breaking the rules if I look up the title when I can visualize the scene?)

Are you thinking of Stir Crazy?

No peeking!

Just kidding. I don’t know since it’s not my thread.

It is that prison comedy. Jack Batty got it. It’s Stir Crazy.

“I don’t believe in that sort of thing personally. Astronomy is one of the many tools of the devil.”

“Hand me that helmet, Sekulovich”

Karl Malden in Patton

Malden’s real name was Mladen Sekulovich. When the character he was playing – General Omar Bradley – lost his helmet under fire, he asked his driver to get him another (I think from a fallen soldier), and he called that soldier by his own real last name. Malden, I understand, tried to work in self-references like that.

“If you’re going to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

When we are watching a movie and a character launches off into a soliloquy before attempting to kill his opponent, I always yell this at the screen. The old James Bond movies were the worst offenders. When a bad guy had James tied up - or whatever - and was going shoot him, he would always break off into a 10 minute diatribe. STFU, and just pull the trigger already.

Yes. Wikipedia lists a few more of Malden’s Sekulovich references.

Yep! :slight_smile:

:rofl:

Some cleanup

This was from “Big Trouble in Little China”, Jack’s apology after he kisses Gracie Law.

Another line from this scene:
“The open steppe, a fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind at your hair.”
Followed by a famous line from a very famous actor who has had a lot of very famous lines.

A new one:

“It’s like… someone invites you to a party, and you don’t show up, doesn’t really matter.”

Conan the Barbarian - the next line is “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.”

Yes. I just love that that scene starts with the leader of the Hyrkanians baring his feelings about fatherhood.

“Apes don’t read philosophy.”

A Fish Called Wanda.

‘To these aged eyes, boy, that’s what winning looks like.’
