Favorite Movie Quotes: Jumanji

"You think that mosquitoes, monkeys, and lions are bad? That is just the beginning. I've seen things you've only seen in your nightmares. Things you can't even imagine. Things you can't even see. There are things that hunt you in the night. Then something screams. Then you hear them eat, and you hope to God that you're not dessert. Afraid? You don't even know what afraid is. You would not last five minutes without me."

Tacoma Tiger

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Frisco Kid

"You are a Rabbi. I'm a bank robber. I'm a card player and a whoremonger. That's what I am. You are a Rabbi. You can fall in the mud, you can slip on your ass, you can travel in the wrong direction. But even on your ass, even in the mud, even if you go in the wrong direction for a little while, you're still a Rabbi! That's what you are, right?"

Puffin

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Barefoot Contessa

"Mind you, if there is one thing I know about its Mr. John Q. Public. He wants clean people on the screen for himself and his children to look at. Don't let the eggheads tell you he wants high class acting and fine stories and fancy dialogue. He wants to forget his troubles for awhile and look at clean people. He wants to escape. He doesn't want to look at drunks, hopheads, sex maniacs, divorcees, communists, murderers ..."

Favorite Movie Quotes: At the Circus

My fave Groucho musical number:

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia
Say, have you met Lydia
Lydia, the tattooed lady
She has eyes that folks adore so
And a torso even more so
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the queen of tattoo
On her back is the "Battle Of Waterloo"
Beside it, the "Wreck Of The Hesperus" too
And proudly above 
Waves the red, white and blue
You can learn alot from Lydia

La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la

When her robe is unfurled
She will show you the world
If you step up and tell her where
For a dime, you can see Kankakee or Paree
Or Washington, crossing the Delaware

La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia
Say, have you met Lydia
Lydia, the tattooed lady
When her muscles start relaxin'
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the queen of them all
For two bits, she will do a mazurka in jazz
With a view of Niagara that nobody has
And on a clear day, you can see Alcatraz
You can learn a lot from Lydia

La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la

Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso
Here is Captain Spalding exploring the Amazon
Here's Godiva, but with her pajamas on

La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la

Here is Grover Whelen, unveilin' the Trilon
Over the west coast we have Treasure Island
Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the rhumba
Here's her Social Security number

Oh, Lydia oh Lydia, that encyclopedia
Oh Lydia, the champ of them all
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat
And now, the old boy's in command of the fleet
For he went and married Lydia

I said Lydia
He said Lydia
They said Lydia
We said Lydia, la la
