Favorite Movie Quotes: Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo = The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Favorite Movie Quotes: Glen or Glenda

It was right here, on the sidewalk on front of those windows, that I suffered an event that scarred me for life!

There used to be a giant shoe hanging over the sidewalk, but it vanished several years ago.

Favorite Movie Quotes: George Wallace

Big Jim Folsom on the voters: "Now well, no George. Sometimes they can go both ways. See, they're just like you and me, they've got goodness and meanness in them, angel and a demon. A leader can't just be a reflection. A leader got to encourage them sometimes to listen to that angel. I only trust you'll never be scared to risk that connection with the people in order to do what's right. Believe me, George."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Frost/Nixon

"You know the first and greatest sin of the deception of television is that it simplifies, it diminishes great, complex ideas, stretches of time. Whole careers become reduced to a single snapshot. At first I couldn't understand why Bob Zelnick was quite as euphoric as he was after the interviews, or why John Birt felt moved to strip naked and rush into the ocean to celebrate. But that was before I really understood the reductive power of the close-up, because David had succeeded on that final day, in getting for a fleeting moment what no investigative journalist, no state prosecutor, no judiciary committee or political enemy had managed to get-- Richard Nixon's face swollen and ravaged by loneliness, self-loathing and defeat. The rest of the project and its failings would not only be forgotten, they would totally cease to exist."

Favorite Movie Quotes: From Russia With Love

"Siamese fighting fish, fascinating creatures. Brave but of the whole stupid. Yes, they're stupid. Except for the occasional one such as we have here who lets the other two fight. While he waits. Waits until the survivor is so exhausted that he cannot defend himself, and then like SPECTRE-- he strikes!"

Favorite Movie Quotes: From Dusk Till Dawn

"Peachy, Kate. The world's my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a wooden stake in my brother's heart because he turned into a vampire, even though I don't believe in vampires. Aside from that unfortunate business, everything's hunky-dory."
