I'll start it off in no certain order:
"Here's looking at you kid." Casablanca
"Make my day". Dirty Harry
"You had me at hello." Jerry Mcquire
"You make me complete." Jerry Mcguire
"We were on a break!" Friends
"Norm!" Cheers
"To the moon, Alice." The Honeymooners
Oh, and: “They mostly come out at night.... mostly.... “ - Newt, Aliens
and
“Game over, man, GAME OVER!” — PVT Hicks, Aliens
"What do ya got?"
Probably James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause
I was talking about “nuke it from orbit...” which I already contributed. Have NO clue about Niagra Falls.
Heard that Hulu has a lot to offer. LOL After just purchasing a new Smart tee vee, DH purchased a Ruku. We’ve just begun the learning curve for those devices. He more knowledgeable than I. I could live with OTA stations myself. The sub-stations in the area play so many old shows and old movies on Movies TV Network,Antenna, Retro, Hot, Me,This,Grit. Those are fondly remembered. The television and I born about the same time so those types of shows are some of my favorites and encompass the basis of my childhood.
I guess it could have as easily have been Marlon Brando in Wild Bunch
LOL So did I :-)
I believe the John Wayne quote is from “Big Jake”. A great movie. He may have said it in the other, too, but it was my favorite line in Big Jake.
It’s in almost every episode so I don’t know how you missed it.
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
DH uses that one frequently..and most of the time he speaks the truth. We both speak the same language but failure abounds. LOL
They Live had the greatest, longest, kickass fight scene of all times.
A genuine classic. Still used today.
I could have been a contender - Brando movie On the Waterfront
“Excuse me while I whip this out.”
Cleavon Little, Blazing Saddles
“What knockers!”. “Why, thank you, Doctor.”
Gene Wilder, Terri Garr, Young Frankenstein
"Weebles Wobble, But They Don't Fall Down" Toy commercial that may only apply to Boomers.
"Say hello to my little friend." Scarface
"Too infinity and beyond." Toy Story
"I got you, Babe". The ever repeating clock-radio music to Groundhog Day.
"You talking to me?" Taxi Driver
"I have had it with these motherf_____g snakes on this motherf_____g plane!" Snakes on a Plane
I laughed at that when I was younger. Today, too.
A great topic for another thread. Also, car chases, and gunfights. Feel free to start the article.
I'll start with "Fast & Furious" franchise for car chases. It's probably the standard now of car action.
For gunfights I will contribute "Tombstone" and "Open Range". I tend to go more realistic than many with a large shootouts where only the good guys hit the bad guys, even if out gunned. Think "Open Range" is probably my favorite and looks most realistic. But then, "Lone Survivor" was very realistic.
That one seems to have mostly died out. Older folks still know it, but not so much the young. Commercials don't seem to have the kind of staying power when it comes to this kind of thing, because eventually folks who remember it are replaced by younger folks who haven't. Sometimes kids will know it, but really have no idea where it came from.
Regarding the Ghostbusters one, I was a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I remember a scene really late in the show where one of the characters, who's supposed to be a vampire several hundred years old (Spike), was talking to someone about that and asked the question, "who're you gonna call?", then he stopped, paused for a second and asked, "are we ever going to be able to use that phrase again?" Made me laugh.
