"The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou"
"____, you bastard." "What did I do?" "I just asked you to do one thing, to stay awake and watch me and to wake me up if it looked like I was having a bad dream, and what did you do, you shit? You fell asleep."

A Nightmare on Elm Street. 1984. Directed by Wes Craven. Always thought he was a horribly overrated director. I never found anything he did particularly interesting, and he has no concept of suspense. Horror without suspense has to rely on slasher crap, and that gets old quick.
"Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon. That's always been the difference between us."

"Watchmen" 2009 Rorschach.
I must agree with you on that one.
Let's see...
"We are gathered here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. But it should be noted that this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."

James Kirk in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. 1982, directed by Nicholas Meyer.
"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."

Oh! I forgot the name of the character he played. He was one of the hitmen (Opposite Travolta) in the movie is Pulp Fiction. One of my favorites! That's um...Snakes on a Plane guy. LOL I can't believe his name slips me...Ah! Samuel Jackson! I actually thought that was a pretty powerful scene too. I liked it. lol I'm going to take a shot at director here...Quentin Tarantino? Lesse... "Here, take this." "Wave it at anything that slithers." "The whole place is slitherin'!"

Yes indeed. Samuel Jackson playing the role of Jules (while Travolta played Vincent) in Pulp Fiction, 1994. And you got the director too. As for yours... Indy and Marion in Raiders of the Lost Ark. 1981, Steven Spielberg directed. George Lucas and Philip Kaufman wrote, which is to say Kaufman wrote it and Lucas took credit. Also, that scene you quoted? They made an error in the original filming. The asps were kept behind a glass pane (so that their actors couldn't get bitten by very dangerous snakes), and in the theatrical release, video release, and first run of DVDs, you can see Indy's face reflected in the glass pane for a few seconds. Anyway, quote for you: "Tell my son the time that his father died. Tell him..." "No. He won't even know your name."

Ohhh that was Pan's Labrynth. 2006. Capitan Vidal and Mercedes. I was very disturbed by that movie. I like happier endings, which brings me back to Australia. It was rather long, but I loved then end when Drover discovered that Lady Ashley was actually alive. ::wipes a tear::
And yes, I do remember that bit of trivia about the movie and the mistake. I forgot where I saw it but definitely remember that. I also remember something about one of the Star Wars movies, I think it was after the Death Star was destroyed and Luke was greeted by Leia in the hangar...that he called out "Carrie" rather than Leia.
Now..for a quote:
"Death is a primitive concept. I prefer to think of them as battling evil, in another dimension." "In another dimension? How many are left?" "Including yourself?" "Yeah!" "One!" "ONE?"

I loved the end of Pan's Labyrinth. How ambiguous it was. It was either really, REALLY upsetting, or kind of bittersweet, and there's no way to tell which. The Last Starfighter, 1984. Directed by Nick Castle. God that was a terrible movie. Terrible for all the right reasons. I loved it. "Okay people, they're psyching you out. Let's not be so defensive out there, Okay? Now what do we say on the court, repeat after me; I am a person, I have a right to the ball." And another quote from the same movie since the above is kind of obscure: "All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now it may not sound too great to a sconehead like you, but I think it's swell. And you come along and tell me I'm a member of the hairy mole club so you can throw things at me?"

Ohhhh you did NOT just go there! Buffy the Vampire Slayer! 1992. Directed by Fran Rubel Kazui. Created/Written by Joss Whedon. Starring Kristy Swanson, the excellent Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, the once sexy-ass Rutger Hauer, Luke Perry..etc etc etc... I am SUCH a huuuuge buffy fan. Ask Rand. We should SO have a Buffy trivia thread here somewhere too..Hmmmm... As for the Last Starfighter, I was all of fourteen, fifteen when that came out. Loved it then..but I was a geeky kid like that. LMAO I still love the movie. Here's one from another of my all time favorites. "I fully expect to meet you at the Pearly Gates, little thief, and don't you dare disappoint me." "I'll meet you there, Father... even if I have to pick the lock."

Anything to do with Joss Whedon is gold, far as I'm concerned. Even Dollhouse has been alright, though it isn't up to the same level as Firefly, Angel, and Buffy. Imperius and Philippe in Ladyhawke, 1985. Directed by Richard Donner. "Who wants a beard?" "Well, beatniks for one, folk singers and motorbike riders. Y'know. All those hip, jazzy, super cool, neat, keen, and groovy cats. It's in the fridge, daddy-o! Are you hip to the jive? Can you dig what I'm layin' down? I knew that you could. Slide me some skin, soul brother!"

Mike Teavee and Willy Wonka. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" 2005 Directed by the wonderful, awesome Tim Burton. ::blissful sigh:: Even in that movie, Depp had some manner of sex appeal. But then as a youngun' I used to dream of marrying Gene Wilder in the 1971 adaption...just because of that wonderful factory! Then again, Depp is just...hawt. "I'm gonna get a knife and cut you out of me." "Before you kill anyone else." "I didn't kill anybody." "You had a gun."
