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."

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: The Boys From Brazil


"Do you know what I saw on the television in my motel room at one o'clock this morning? Films of Hitler! They are showing films about the war! The movement! People are fascinated! The time is ripe! Adolf Hitler is alive! This album is full of pictures of him. Bobby Wheelock and ninety-three other boys are exact genetic duplicates of him, bred entirely from his cells. He allowed me to take half a liter of his blood and a cutting of skin from his ribs. We were in a biblical frame of mind on the twenty-third of May 1943, at the Berghof. He had denied himself children because he knew that no son could flourish in the shadow of so godlike a father! But when he heard what was theoretically possible, that I could create one day not his son, not even a carbon-copy but another original, he was thrilled by the idea! The right Hitler for the right future! A Hitler tailor-made for the 1980s, 90s, 2000!"

Gregory Peck was a surprisingly disturbing villain.
