~Favorite Movie Quotes ~

(”...But if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple. Join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.”)

(”It started - for me, it started - last Thursday, in response to an urgent message from my nurse, I hurried home from a medical convention I’d been attending. At first glance, everything looked the same. It wasn’t. Something evil had taken possession of the town...”)(”Help! Wait! Stop. Stop and listen to me!...These people who’re coming after me are not human!...Look, you fools. You’re in danger. Can’t you see? They’re after you. They’re after all of us. Our wives, our children, everyone. They’re here already. YOU’RE NEXT!”)

(”It’s sad when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. I couldn’t allow them to believe that I would commit murder. They’ll put him away now, as I should have, years ago. He was always bad and in the end, he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man. As if I could do anything except just sit and stare, like one of his stuffed birds. Oh, they know I can’t even move a finger and I won’t. I’ll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do suspect me. They’re probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I’m not even gonna swat that fly. I hope they are watching. They’ll see. They’ll see and they’ll know and they’ll say, ‘Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly.’”)

”(”...So we formed ourselves into tight groups...the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and screamin’. Sometimes the shark go away. Sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then - aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and rip ya to pieces...”)

(”As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States...Even before I first wandered into the cabstand for an after-school job, I knew I wanted to be a part of them. It was there that I knew that I belonged. To me, it meant being somebody in a neighborhood that was full of nobodies. They weren’t like anybody else. I mean, they did whatever they wanted. They double-parked in front of a hydrant and nobody ever gave them a ticket. In the summer when they played cards all night, nobody ever called the cops”)

(”So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little money, you know. Don’t you know that? And here ya are, and it’s a beautiful day. Well, I just don’t understand it.”)

(”Look! The moonlight shows us for what we really are! We are not among the living so we cannot die, but neither are we dead! For too long I’ve been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I’ve been starving to death and haven’t died. I feel nothing. Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea, nor the warmth of a woman’s flesh. You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner. You’re in one!”)

Re: “I have not yet begun to defile myself” Doc Holiday( Val Kilmer)

From probably also before your time...

“You see, poker’s played by desperate men who cherish money. I don’t lose because I have nothing to lose, including my life.”

My sisters and I watch it regularly.

We knew that a section of the old movie was missing from the original—the scenes where they cross the desert. We all separately remembered scenes in which Patience finally leaves her bell behind and other women walked away from their treasures—without caring or looking back.

I wrote to MGM, and I asked them if part of the movie had been lost to decomposition. A really great guy wrote to me. He said that he’d never seen the movie; but my interest in it bled over to him. He checked out the script; and nothing was missing. HE SENT ME THE SCRIPT!!! I have the written script of that great movie!!!

We loved reading through it...but my sisters and I STILL remember missing scenes.

When VHS’s began printing old movies, I watched and waited for Westward the Women AND the old version of The Haunting. Both remembered from my youth—and both my favorites!

(I’m sorry to be so long-winded: I do love this old movie, and it’s great to find someone else who appreciates it!)

From a film that I enjoy, but not many others appreciate:

George Kaplan: I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Rome. I did my first bare-handed strangulation here. Communist politician.

Hudson Hawk: Why George you old softie.

George Kaplan: God, I miss Communism. The Red threat... people were scared... the agency had some respect and I got laid every night.

One from Smokey and the Bandit my dad always told me, “There is no way, NO way that you came from my loins. The first thing I’m gonna do when I get home is punch your momma in the mouth. “

“Make us a ten o’clock reservation at the Stork Club.”

“The Stork Club? Are you sure? You remember what happened there the last time.”

When I watched it recently, I thought I remembered more scenes of the women parting with their things, as well. I faintly remember them throwing things off a cliff. I could be mistaken, though.

I loved the scene where the women hold up the wagon while the pregnant girl has her baby.

[Shadowstrike]

Actually it’s —

“I fear that all we have done is to awaken a Sleeping Giant, and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

One of THE best things EVER put in a movie.

Too bad too many Americans have forgotten that.

[Army Air Corps]

That is an understatement. The film is like a multi-car collision: you are unsure about looking, but you cannot look away.
