Favorite Movie Quotes

[Inanna]

this movie is just great, its called "dreams" or "Akira Kurosawadreams" (the director) its divided into 8 sections, u have to watch it!

Man: Are you alright? You appear to be injured.
Vincent Van Gogh: This?
Man: Yeah.
Vincent Van Gogh: Yesterday I was trying to complete a self portrait. I just couldn't get the ear right, so I... cut it off and threw it away.

Nuclear Plant Worker: The red one is plutonium-239. 10,000,000th of a gram causes cancer.
The yellow one in strontium-90. It gets inside you and causes leukemia.
The purple one is cesium-137. It affects reproduction. It causes mutations. It makes monstrosities. Man's stupidity is unbelievable. Radioactivity was invisible, and because of its danger, they colored it. But that only lets you know which kind kills you.

This one I love, from the Godfather (my pic sais it all):

Michael: My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.
Kay Adams: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed.
Michael: Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?

[dodzi]

This one is also a classic:

Michael: My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
Kay Adams: What was it?
Michael: Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured the bandleader, that either his signiture or his brains would be on the contract.
Kay Adams: ...
Michael: ...That's a true story.
[Long pause]
Michael: That's my family Kay, it's not me. (eh mbala )

another one:

Don Vito Corleone:Do you spend time with your family? Good. Because a man that doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.

and this one:

Don Vito Corleone:I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Michael - if he is to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room; and then I do not forgive. But with said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today.

"There is no ocean, John. There is nothing beyond the city. The only place home exists... is in your head. "

"I know this is gonna sound crazy, but what if we never knew each other before now... and everything you remember, and everything that I'm supposed to remember, never really happened, someone just wants us to think it did? "

"I've been trying to remember things, CLEARLY remember things, from my past, but the more I try to think back, the more it all starts to unravel. None of it seems real. It's like I've just been dreaming this life, and when I finally wake up, I'll be somebody else. Somebody totally different! "

From the movie: Dark City

I'm one of those Godfather fans, but I'm not really sure I can explain why I like the godfather so much. I watched the three parts like 5 years ago, and I can hardly remember anything at all, but the charismatic figures of Marlon Brando and Al Paccino could've played a role. The scripts were great, where great means they're complex and full of murder, backstabbing, and conspiracies... full of people seeking power and saving their skins. There's also something about the Mafia that's just so appealing. The screenplay and characters seemed authentic, and the fact that they're Italian immigrants puts a lot of flavor.
It's already hard to explain with words, and I suck at expressing my feelings anyway, so you'll have to settle for this right now.

i think i got what u mean! at a certain period of time i had a hard time explaining to my brother that he's not al pacino, not italian, doesnt have to do the accent, hes not mafioso! and most of all that we're not his paysanos!

loooooool, I seem to see myself in a miror
I think I'm also anoying my family this very same way... Once I told my sister with the accent: "come pay your respects to your Don..." (btw, I read a story on Al Pacino saying that he used to do the same when he was young too)

I think what terror said is true... To add to that there's also the macho part what a MAN (in big letters) is supposed to be in a men's world... Not that I agree, but in a fantasy world it is so elegant and appealing... You know, the man in charge, who has many powers but also many responsibilities, the man in an old fashioned and very conservative way of living and acting... Again I don't agree with this way of life, but it is really attractive...

But furthermore and as you (Inanna) said, there's also the artistic part... As terror said, the movie gives a very authentic view of sicilian way of life... This is not innocent, the movie is made by a New Yorker studio, and with an all New Yorker cast, mainly formed by the Actor's Studio of New York (Lee Strasberg, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, etc.). The Actor Studio focuses on the realistic and artistic part of a movie (contrary to Hollywood that focuses on the beauty and the financial part of a movie), that's why Robert DeNiro spent 6 month living with priests to play the role of a priest in another movie, it makes to movie become very authentic, the actors don't just act, but live their role, become the role... I personnaly love that...

by the way, al pacino had a hard time to getting out his role! after the shootage i think of the 2nd part, he really feelt like a don and was expecting ppl to treat him like they do in the movie, he played so well the role that he felt it became part of him, it took him a certain period of time to snap out of it!
