Discovered this film on HBO one night, and was amazed at how hilarious it was! And contrary to Something About Mary claiming to be the first R-rated (not X) film to show spooge, this in fact was (shooting out of the telephone during an obscene phone call).
“I’m gonna give ya horsey head!”
I think of my old insurance agent. Which may be an unusual response but he really did live in Horseheads.
My immediate thought was of a pair of bookends made from stuffed horse’s heads.
I never saw the movie, and know nothing about the plot. I recognized the name but that’s all.
I think of a particular pair of actual bookends. I wouldn’t call them tacky.
That’s right, Malvert. Run along now.

Yeah, that’s it. You’re quote is more accurate than mine. I haven’t seen the movie in like 20 yrs.
Ack! Missed your post above, wasn’t trying to be dickish. I loved that movie as a young teen! I remember the killer looking at a desk full of possible murder weapons - letter opener, rope, etc etc, then selected the paper clip. Malvert was weird beyond words - too bad the actor never got any other movie-tv work that I know of.
Malvert sometimes pee red.
Where’s that spit-take smiley?
Ya know, I bet I have that movie somewhere around here. . .
Aw, you started without me.
Aannd they’re off!

I saw the movie Student Bodies, but though I remember quite a bit about it, (killing the fly, “Because I’m beautiful and you’re hideous.” to mention a couple) the horse head bookends did not register until I saw your spoiler.
I couldn’t decide between “bookends” and “rather tacky decorative pieces” as I pictured rather tacky bookends that look like horse’s heads. Had the question been just about “horse heads” I would have thought of The Godfather. I think I actually did see Student Bodies but I don’t remember anything about it.
Exactly this.
I have never heard the phrase, so voted other.
I did cast a vote (“book ends”) but I don’t really understand your poll, ma’am.
I think of ceramic or plaster bookends in the shape of horses’ heads, for placing on bookcases to keep one’s books in place.
Any time I hear “horse” and “books” mentioned in the same phrase I just think of the strange internet phenomenon that later became part of an ARG, @HorseEbooks.
Unless you’ve got a seriously massive chess set.
I’ve seen the movie too, more than once even, but I don’t recall anything at all about bookends in it, so clearly that wasn’t a memorable part of it to me.
