Favorite Movie Quotes: City Slickers
"Value this time in your life kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices, and it goes by so fast. When you're a teenager you think you can do anything, and you do. Your twenties are a blur. Thirties, you raise your family, you make a little money and you think to yourself, 'What happened to my twenties?' Forties, you grow a little pot belly, you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud and one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. Fifties, you have a minor surgery. You'll call it a procedure, but it's a surgery. Sixties, you'll have a major surgery, the music is still loud but it doesn't matter because you can't hear it anyway. The seventies, you and the wife retire to Fort Lauderdale, you start eating dinner at two o'clock in the afternoon, you'll have lunch around ten, breakfast the night before. And you spend most of your time wandering around malls looking for the ultimate soft yogurt and muttering 'How come the kids don't call? How come the kids don't call?' The eighties, you'll have a major stroke, and you end up babbling to some Jamaican nurse who your wife can't stand but who you call mama. Any questions?"

Favorite Movie Quotes: Cecil B. Demented
"There are no rules in outlaw cinema, Miss Whitlock, only edges. We believe technique to be nothing more than failed style. You see, I've had a vision. And that vision is called 'Ultimate Reality.' The rest of our film is shot in real life, with real people, and yes, with real terror."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Casablanca
"I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's wife? I like to think you killed a man. It's the Romantic in me."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Bubba Ho-Tep
"Here I was complainin' about loss of pride and how life had treated me, and now I realized-- I never had any pride. And much of how life had treated me had been good. The bulk of the bad was my own damn fault. Should've fired Colonel Parker by the time I got in the pictures. Old fart had been a shark and a fool, and I was even a bigger fool for following him. If only I'd treated Priscilla right. If I could've told my daughter I loved her. Always the questions. Never the answers. Always the hopes. Never the fulfillments."

"Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn't here yet, whatever it's going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That's it."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Broken Arrow
"I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it."
Favorite Movie Quotes: Broadcast News
"What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? C'mon, nobody is going to be taken in by a guy with a long, red, pointy tail. C'mon, what's he going to sound like, "Yaaargh."? No. I'm semi-serious here. He will be attractive, he'll be nice and helpful. He'll get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation. He'll never do an evil thing, he'll never deliberately hurt a living thing. He'll just bit by little bit lower our standards where they are important. Just a tiny little bit, just coax along flash over substance, just a tiny little bit. And he'll talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Bride of the Monster
