Favorite Movie Quotes: Edward II

"Base Fortune, now I see that in thy wheel there is a point to which when men aspire, they tumble headlong down. That point I touched, and seeing there was no place to mount up higher why should I grieve at my declining fall?"

Favorite Movie Quotes: Ed Wood

"Look, look, look, when I said that you could have the western territories, I didn't mean all eleven states! I meant California, Oregon, and, uh, what's that one on top? Washington!"

Favorite Movie Quotes: Easy Money

You know what? I'm not going to even try to come up with a quote for this great film. It never got any respect.

I saw it in a theater when it was released in 1983. I was in Pullman, Washington and only three of us were in the audience. And we three strangers laughed our asses off!

Film critic history has been unkind to this film, and unjustly so. Snobs.

Rodney Dangerfield was a great actor and comedian. If you want a quote from this movie you'll just have to give it some respect and view it.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Drowning Mona

Kathleen Wilhoite sings Oh Mona Dearly:

"Oh Mona Dearly
She took a turn for the worst
You know she swam with the fishes
You know she dug in the dirt
Why did she have to DIE, DIE, DIE?
Why did she have to DIE, DIE, DIE?
Why did she have to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-DIE?
Oh Mona Dearly"

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Dresser

"Where's my hat? I'm getting out of here. I'm not staying in this place a moment longer! I'm surrounded by vipers. Betrayal on every side! I've been crushed! The life blood is draining from me! The load is too great! ... More, more, more-- I can't give any more, I have nothing more to give. I want a tranquil senility. I'm a grown man. I don't want to go on painting my face night after night, wearing clothes that are not my own. This is my work, my life's work. I'm an actor, but who cares if I go out there tonight or any other night and shorten my life?"

One of my pet peeves are televisions that blare on while a waiting room is empty. And if I turn the TV off, the next person who comes in turns it back on. That really bugs me, man. Other things that bug me are coastal radar for Washington State, people who insist on wearing their bike helmets while off their bicycle and being a pedestrian like in a store, and the expression, "I'm just sayin'."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Dr. Strangelove

"Well, I've been to one world fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing I ever heard come over a set of earphones. You sure you got today's code?"

Favorite Movie Quotes: Double Jeopardy

"There are no second chances in this house, lady! This is the Last Chance House! You try to understand that."

A portable outhouse in front of my neighbor's house. Apparently this thing can suddenly and mysteriously appear in front of your home or business here in McCleary, and it will stay there until you pay $$$ to have it removed-- all for fundraising for Relay for Life.

It's always a fun game to try and track the thing. And it never fails to make me laugh whenever I see it in a new place. I did witness the removal of the outhouse from this particular location and it took only two people to load it on the back of a pickup.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Double Indemnity

"I suppose I get the big speech, the one with all the two dollar words in it. Let's have it, Keyes."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

"Freddy, as a younger man, I was a sculptor, a painter, and a musician. There was just one problem: I wasn't very good. As a matter of fact, I was dreadful. I finally came to the frustrating conclusion that I had taste and style, but not talent. I knew my limitations. We all have our limitations, Freddy. Fortunately, I discovered that taste and style were commodities that people desired. Freddy, what I am saying is: know your limitations. You are a moron"
