July 4th Holiday Wee!kender Thread! Movie Quotes Fun!
 

"I envy people who drink. At least they have something to blame everything on."
~~ Oscar Levant, Actor from the 50's

All my worldly problems summed up with one action. Drinking.

Thats not a true statement! Not by any stretch.

Sobriety teaches me to solve and resolve my problems. Not let them fester as I woozily try to stay one step ahead. Eventually I get run over by it all!

Speaking of actors... Who doesn't love a good movie? These quotes have stuck in my head over the years... I say them when the moment is right... I love it.

"Ditto" ~ Ghost

"You can't save French toast..." ~ Ordinary People

"Toe pick!" ~ The Cutting Edge

"Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" ~ Airplane

"Squirrel!!!! -----> " ~ Up

"I had a farm in Africa." ~ Out of Africa

"ich kann nicht wählen! bitte! ich kann nicht wählen!" ~ Sophie's Choice

"Every time a bell rings and angle gets its wings!" ~ It's a Wonderful Life

Keep your mind off the drink this weekend and share with us a movie or two that inspired, moved or entertained you enough to remember a line or two.

What movies did you grow up on? Made you feel normal? Make you feel not so normal? Scared you to death! Lol

Let's have fun this long holiday weekend. Give you something to think about beside the ice chest of drinks while at that BBQ! Or in Non's case a TS/Hurricane!

I happen to be off Thursday through Sunday so starting the thread was what some said would be helpful!

Ken

Shotgun!

Woo hoo Gilmer!!!!!!

Sorry olive.... Back seat and no pulling hair this weekend! Or kicking the back of the seats!

The Money Pit~ Tom Hanks and Shelley Long...he is stuck in a hole in the floor, she is out with her ex husband.

SL: "it's amazing that you passed the Bar"

TH: "you've never passed a bar in your Life"!

SL: "you're so much more attractive when I'm drunk"......

I'm in for this weekend!!!! Thanks for this thread. It's so helpful. :)

YaY! Wait. It's here! It's here! Thanks Weasel. Gilmer...way to go with shotgun. Weasel...here is an answer to one of your quotes :) My very first movie at home ever was "Never Cry Wolf" - all I can remember about it was seeing a man run around naked.

OK. From one of my all time favorite movies (who can guess without googling?):

"Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy" [SPLAT!...chaw juice spat upon the ground for added effect].

First prize for dreamy movie kiss award:

That gorgeous smooch in the brushy wildflowers on the hill overlooking Florence, Italy in the movie 'Room with a View'. No quotes for this except "MWAWWW-wah-waH!". I dreamed of being kissed like that...in the brush, that is. Hah! :) There is a quote painted on an armoire in the movie (written in the book) that has guided job-consideration for many, many years - "Mistrust all enterprises which require new clothes". Although I do love a good shopping trip...less is always more. The movie soundtrack is first rate cleaning music as well.

Non - great idea. OK friends, welcome to another sober weekend. Let the games begin!

:grouphug:

The Philadelphia Story (1940) is one of my favourites for great quotes. Jimmy Stewart comes out of the house hungover one morning and says,

"I'm testing the air. I like it but it doesn't like me."

It's comedic but a good reminder of how horrible hangovers are :)

My favorite movie of all time is an Italian film from 1997 called Life Is Beautiful. Its star, Roberto Begnini, won the best actor Oscar in 1998, and deservedly so!




My second favorite movie is Babette's Feast, a Danish movie that won the Oscar for best foreign language film in 1988.

:pokey:

This is me poking Gilmer for the whole weekend!

I am in!

"Oh, and this one time, at band camp................"

:)

Gilmer...I went years! not knowing that Isak Dinesen was the author of Babette's Feast. No wonder it is so great.

Speaking of, Weasel, I can just hear Meryl Streep saying "Ahh-ee had ah farm in AHhh-frica..". Love that :)

:grouphug:

I love this thread already.

I tend to remember scenes, rather than the actual words...hey, I'm a visual person! So, I'll be hopeless at this thread!

I'm with Croissant. I just remember three lines from a most formative movie that came out when I was in high school:

"It's only a flesh wound!"
"I'll chew you to death!"
"I fart in your general direction!"






(Monty Python and the Holy Grail)

"Just keep swimming" --Finding Nemo

Pertains to my sobriety as well. :)

One of my all time favorite movies is "Grumpy Old Men" -- "I'd rather kiss a dead moose's butt!" That movie always makes me smile.

That is one of my favorites!
:)

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Dorothy Mantooth is a Saint! Anchorman

I ain't got time to bleed. Predator

Oh yeah, it's right here! Samsonite! I was way off! Dumb and Dumber

"I want my two dollars!"

"Have you any idea what the street value of this mountain is?!?"

"I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy!"

Hee-he-he. All from the same movie ;)

:grouphug:

"Care for a...Tic-Tac?" Dumb and Dumber

"I'll have what she's having."
:)

"I picked the wrong week to give up smoking...I picked the wrong week to give up drinking...I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue!"

Airplane

"Get a load of me (?). I'm giving out wings."
I used to say this all the time when alarms went off - some guys didn't get it.

The Outlaw Josey Wales

"I have come here to kick butt and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of bubble gum"

They Live

That b-film has some of the best one-liners in movie history

Out of work and into my weekend! Loving this thread!

I was driving home thinking about a bunch of things I could do this weekend. It took a second to realize I don't have those butterflies in my belly. No fast heart beats.

By now I used to have my drugs all lined up.

A few years ago on July 4th I was high on crack hanging with two complete strangers in my kitchen. The guys I just bought off of. That was the beginning of a long crack spree. I did over $1000 that weekend and became "friends" with one of the two.

I remember distinctly the sounds of the fireworks going off but feeling nothing. That moment will stay with me forever.

Now today? Oh my gosh.... I want to get on my knees and be so thankful. Escaping crack at is not easy. Nothing is but thats only my POV. Had to share.

Back to the movies!

I also love movie soundtracks. I have the cd for The Jazz Singer... Out of Africa... And go ahead and make fun of me.... Sister Act.

Boy am I weird!

You guys "want the truth?? . . . You can't handle the truth!!" :c022:

Jules Winnfield: There's a passage that I got memorized, seems appropiate for this situation: Ezekiel 25,17. "The path of the righteous man is beset of all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil me. Blessed is he who, in the name of the charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.


THE BEST FILM EVER!!!!....I'm in for the weekend :-)

I think my two all time favorite movies are the Godfather and Splash but honestly the Adam sandler movie That's my Boy is so funny to me. I watch it every time it comes on tv. Don't judge me. :)

"Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!"

"Judah--we are lepers!"
