kellyn Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Brian, have you seen Army of Darkness? Ash (Bruce Campbell) is given a specific spell to repeat when he gets hold of the Necronomicon. That spell is something like "Klatu Varata Nicto" Of course Ash screws it up and can't remember the spell. Instead of nicto, he says a whole bunch of other words including "necktie." That movie is FULL of great one liners including my favorite pickup lines to use on my wife "Give me some sugar, baby" "Hail to the King, baby", "first you want to kill me. Now you want to kiss me. Blow!" and the ever popular "Yo, she-bitch, let's go!" While not my single favorite movie, Army of Darkness might be my favorite B movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushrod Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Haven't seen Army of Darkness" but the line "klatu barrada nicto" is from "the Day the Earth Stood Still". It's been awhile but I believe that was the phrase that actvated the robot(Gort?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I've been thinking about this one for a long time... If I could only watch one movie...it would be the Godfather Part 2. I love the "flashbacks" to what us Italians call the "old country" and to New York City in the early 1900's. I know that mobsters don't necessarily make the best role models but if God would allow me to "turn back time" and live in another period of history... that would be the time and those would be the places.

kellyn Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Bushrod, YOU'RE RIGHT. Somewhere in the dark recess of my mind, I knew that. Sam Raimi put it in Army of Darkness as a homage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBaneACP Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 JEREMIAH JOHNSON...saw it at a movie theater in downtown Tampa; I was a hot shot newspaper reporter just out of college and, boy, I was going places! At the risk of sounding amazingly silly, the movie *touched* something inside me. Never could get it out of my head, and in the end, strangely enough, the movie won. You can sit on my front porch now and see a panorama of the Indian Peaks Wilderness and Rocky Mt. National Park, and, yes, winter's a long time goin' up here. Still, come March, I can always say, "March is a green, muddy month down below. Some folks like it. FAAAARMERs, mostly." And, also yes, I've done well to keep so much hair when so many's after it. mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyB Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Heat: DeNiro and Pacino engaging in a mesmorising duologue in the coffee shop, plus one of the best shoot-outs that you can put through you 6.1 system...Turn it up and hear the neighbours scream!!

MBaneACP Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Snyder, you weenie...I got that coonskin cap at Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC. You're just jealous because you can't find a cap like mine where the raccoon apparently died by electocution. Upon reflection, I wonder if we can get Rhino to stick his finger in a wall socket? Now THERE'S a hat! MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old&Slow Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 The Wild Bunch. The best shoot out ever made and a Film Michael Mann has yet to equal IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 While I have really liked a number of the suggestions I've read (Bladerunner, any Akira Kurasawa film, and Kubric as well), I have to say my all time favorite is <drumroll> Casablanca There are little details in the movie that I just love. For instance, after his club is torn up by the magistrate, Rick calmly tells everyone that everything will be just fine as he uprights a knocked over cocktail glass - a visual que of restored order to go with his words. And some of the quotes are priceless, "There are parts of New York, Major Strassor, that I would advise you not to try to invade." And then the theme, sacrificing for the greater good, all aspects of the movies are top notch. Even all the supporting actors are superb - Claude Reins, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorrie. Here's looking at you kid <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 Casablanca. Arguably the best movie every made. Certainly the best romance. It would have to be on any true movies fan's short list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric nielsen Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Dogfight between Casablanca and On The Waterfront. One of those is the best ever. Whatever 3rd place is, it's not in the same league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carinab Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Thread drift into movie trivia - The script for To Have and Have Not was a bet between William Faulkner and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Faulkner bet that he could take Hemingway's worst book and make it into a successful movie script. I read this in a biography somewhere. Faulkner also wrote the screen plays for the Big Sleep and Gunga Din. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
