Harry Met Sally
Jess: Marriages don't break up on account of infidelity. It's just a symptom that something else is wrong.
Harry Burns: Oh really? Well, that "symptom" is f@cking my wife.
I think some of the really enjoyable spots were the old couples saying how they got together. My favorite was the two who talked at the same time. He'd state something, she'd add more detail, and neither one talked over the other. There was a beautiful flow and harmony to them where you could hear each of them perfectly and not miss anything. That's so rare.
I really loved that. Such an adorable couple.
And then to end the film with Harry and Sally doing the same thing. VERY nice.
The Gold Rush
Reporter: Gee! This will make a wonderful story.
Which, in a way is the design of a Charlie Chaplin film. Making a wonderful story. One that touches the heart, makes it laugh, and cry - only a little bit.
Since I didn't cast my vote regarding Keaton or Chaplin. Raised on and forever adore and admire the Little Tramp. I've only just seen full Keaton films and the man is a master daredevil comedian of the highest order. So it's a tough call with all that history vs a new discovery. Keaton impresses but Chaplin endears. Ya know,
The Producers (Original)
Franz Liebkind: Not many people know it, but the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer.
Firstly, THANK YOU @
Holden Pike for posting
"I'm Wet" and @
mark f for posting
my blue blanket. The two hilarious scenes set the tone between Wilder and Mostell's characters, not to mention the film itself. A top-shelf Mel Brooks film that did not make my list. The one I chose I didn't think would make the Countdown originally but wanted to express some love for it.
Anyway,
The Producers is a definite must for this Countdown.
Wayne's World
I CAN'T talk about this film. PLEASE don't make me! I won't gif. I won't quote. I JUST CAN'T.
Look, listen--
I mean yeah, when it came out, f@ckin laughed and laughed, but dammit, it f@ckin ruined Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" for me. For the longest time, I'd get that inane, agitating Dana Carvey fox impression. And dammit, I LOOVE "Foxy Lady" but I couldn't listen and NOT unsee that.
Oh, sure, I'm better now. Therapy was dicey and a bit felony-ish, but it's about talking things through, right? And yeah, sure, I see the point of "continuing" to take one's medication.
It's a continuing battle, sure. And I got a handle on it. Really.
Just, don't make me revisit that terrible icky place again --
PLEASE
Oh, OH NO! IT'S
HAPPENING!!!!
You put a knive in heart, Mr. Dana Carvey, and all I can say to you, sir, is,
F@CKIN OWWWIEEE
Have not, will not see
Step Brothers. Saw a small portion, got up, told my roommate "Enjoy" and never looked back.
Though I have found an intriguing paradox. Comedic actors I care very little for, I do whole-heartedly enjoy as voice actors in various animations. Ferrell is an excellent example that for the most part, not a fan of. But I truly love him in
Megamind as my One Pointer. Kooky.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Clark: Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?
Eddie: Naw, I'm doing just fine, Clark.
My preference is for the first Vacation film. I am glad to see it make it here as a very worthwhile addition.
