Favorite Movie Quotes: The Falcon and the Snowman

Christopher Boyce, a good Republican son of a FBI man as he was watching the 1974 House impeachment hearings on President Richard Milhous Nixon:

"I don't care what these people say, this man is innocent!"

Boyce was later convicted of selling classified information to the Soviets.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Ещё раз про любовь = Once Again for Love

"Attention please. Monitor[?] announces the arrival of Flight 398 from Budapest. Thank you."

OK, I realize this isn't much of a quote, but it is the only line in English in this Soviet unsubtitled film, and it is a garbled background international airport announcement line at that. If any of my Russian-speaking readers know this movie and can supply a good quote please feel free to contribute. I understand this film is considered a classic in Soviet cinema.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Executive Action

"Yeah, I got his rifle. It's a 6.5 millimeter Italian Carcano. It shoots high and to the left, and the bolt sticks. Christ, the Italians quit making these 25 years ago! They called it 'The rifle that never hurt anyone-- on purpose'."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Ernest Goes to Jail

"So it's come to this. A pointless, miserable end to a shallow, meaningless life. But it's as it should be. It's the hand I've been dealt, and I have to play it as it lays. Oh, I'm not going to cry because life's thrown me a curve. I'm not going to whine because I got mashed potatoes when French fries is what I really wanted. It's time for me to step up to the plate, belly up to the bar! It's time for me to look fate square in the eye, flare my nostrils, breathe life's last breath! It's time for me to lie down with lions so I can soar with the eagles! All right! I'm ready! Come and get me! Let's do it!"

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: 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"
