name that movie.

Shaun of the Dead




"Wrong. In that movie, Santy Claus took care of everything. There was Macy's, Gimbel's, but Santy Claus came and he fixed the whole thing. We don't have Santy Claus."

That's from Albert Brooks' Lost in America (1985), the casino manager who isn't buying David's advertising scheme to return their money.





"I think the U.S. is sort of the ant farm for the rest of the world. But people in other countries can't observe the ant farm directly. They must rely on journalists and commentators for a description of everything going on there. The problem is that these people all seem to hate ants."

Barcelona?

"The cat ate his bird. That comes under the Act of God clause".

Well boys, we've got a man's work ahead of us this day.

That was from Fort Apache (1948) when Sgt. Festus Mulcahy (Victor McLaglen) and his men were ordered by Henry Fonda to get rid of the barrels of whiskey at the trading post.


How about?

If some wise guy from Jersey doesn't kill me don't sweat it cause my parents will.

That was from Suicide Kings.

I don't think I'm giving enough info but I will get better.

How about?

Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than any place on the face of the earth?

The Life of Brian

On the Waterfront




"I am self-employed. I am doing fine. I am Joe-the-boss of my own body. So what the fu*k do I have to work for you for?"

"It was sweet... I don't think she could've got his finger off in one bite, though. That part seemed a little farfetched."

That's from May. An interesting little horror/character study.

"Caesar, you don't know sh*t."

Bound?


"Do I look like a beautiful blonde with big **** and an ass that tastes like French vanilla ice cream?"

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (George Roy Hill - 1969)

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom.

Yes, Rushmore.

Ok...
