That’s not Lou Peckinpaugh talking to Ezra C. V. Mildew Dezire Jr.?
Nope. 'fraid not. Not The Cheap Detective. The line’s not even close to anything Neil Simon would write.
“Make your family proud.”
This movie might be a bit more obscure so I’ll post a couple from it…
Are you excited?
Like the French when Lindberg landed.
Boy, that Barney Rubble. What an actor.
You’re a willow….you’re a reed….you’re Audrey Hepburn.
How hard is it to pass out towels, numbnuts?
Well, it’s a skill like anything else.
“Listen, do you smell something?”
Ghostbusters. Love that movie.
“You’re walking away from history! History! Did Chris Columbus say he wanted to stay home? No! What if the Wright Brothers thought that only birds should fly? And did Galoca think the Ulus were too ugly to save?”
“Who’s Galoca?”
“…Never mind.”
Night Shift First time I ever saw Michael Keaton.
Robert Preston as Centauri in The Last Starfighter. Great flick.
“A toy airplane is something that you wind up and it rolls across the floor!”
“How does one take the temperature of toast?”
“If *they traced the robots here, they may have learned who they sold them to and that would lead them back … Home!"
And one I asked near the beginning of the thread that I don’t think anyone ever answered;
“Oh boy, when I die, I hope I go to Accra.”
That must be Flight of the Phoenix.
Right!
But Dorf,ann’s quote that “In 1851 Henson and Stringfellow built a rubber-powered model that flew 600 meters before encountering an obstruction” is all kinds of messed up. Henson never did do any actual airplane engineering. Stringfellow did, but it wasn’t rubber band powered – he built a miniature aluminum steam engine. And it was in 1848 (by which time Henson and Stringfellow had long split up)
Yep. Same here. It’s a good movie but you don’t hear a lot about it.
nevermind
Nice grouping.
Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.
German infiltrators at the start of Counterpoint, with Charlton Heston and Leslie Nielsen. I defy you to watch their scenes together without laughing.
I’ve always wondered how anybody could be chosen as an infiltrator without knowing who Betty Grable was.
Young Fronkensteen.
“In all my fifty years of military service, I have never learned how to bomb half a bridge!”
Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein, commenting on Inspector Kemp’s (Kenneth Mars) apparently excellent dart marksmanship.
What amazes me about this scene is that it’s basically lifted almost directly from a scene in the movie that most directly inspired it – Son of Frankenstein. Wolf von Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone) really does play darts with Inspector Krogh (Lionel Atwill), who has the same wooden arm. Al they had to do was add the jokes and slapstick.
