Let's try a quiz:
Who said: A hard man is good to find ?
(And the answer is not David-soon-to-be-from-Thailand.)
Everyone who posts a correct answer must post another (similar) question - always keeping within the parameters of this Message Board, of course.
(If no one posts an answer I get to keep the hard man.)

And if he and I are correct, we get to ask the next question, right, Steve?
OK, who said, "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are ya just happy to see me?"
"Always forgive your enemies...nothing annoys them quite so much." Oscar Wilde

I think this was said by Mark Twain.
Trying to swing the topic somewhat back to the ethos of this message board  - who said the following?
God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time.
(Ouch!)

That was Robin Williams. OK, my turn. Two quotes, same character, same movie:
"All balls itch! It's a fact!"
"Don't get me wrong. It's not like I've never had sex before. I've had lots of sex. It's just that now I'd like to try it with a partner."

The answer is Buddy (Billy Jacoby) in the movie "One of the Guys".
My turn: Who said this?
I love him, I worship him. I masturbate to Duran Duran videos.

Wil Wheaton in "Stand By Me". From a short story by Steven King...and a soundtrack that brings me back to my youth...Geezer that I am.
OK...next question...maybe not so easy this time...
What was the name of James Stewart's 6'4" tall invisible rabbit? The name of the rabbit is the name of the movie...and it was made in the late 1940's....

Oh yes. One of my all-time favourites.
It happened in the summer of 1959. A long time ago, but only if you measure in terms of years.
As David says, Wil Wheaton played the part of Gordie Lachance as a boy. But the line "That summer, at home, I had become the invisible boy." is spoken by Richard Dreyfuss, who plays the adult Gordie looking back.
The line "I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" isn't spoken at all but is shown being "typed" by Richard Dreyfuss onto the monitor of his 1980s word processor.

"...chained together at the bottom of the ocean?
-A good start."
Philadelphia, man. Well, that's my guess anyway.
And "Stand By Me", I just love it. It's such a beautiful motion picture... It's really interesting listening to the commentaries track of the DVD too, were Rob Reiner, the director, talks about interesting things like how certain scenes were shot, and the casting process, but also much more private stuff, things that inspired the move to become what it is.
He speaks of his own father and his childhood from the same perspective as young Gordie LaChance, and his apprehension about making this movie having to live up to his father's reputation (this was his directorial debut, I think).
He's got such a nice voice to listen to, and he's always telling something interesting, wether it is a deep thought or just some little tidbit. He's a great commentaries guy.
The DVD is also nice because it's got this reeeally sweet pic of River Phoenix having his arm protectively around the shoulders of a very petite Wil Wheaton on the scene selection screen.

I always wanted to know if Gordie's father ever "saw" his son. That question was never answered. When Gordie saw the deer and just knew that no one else would understand and when he stood up to Ace with that shaky gun and then finally broke down...I was invisible for a very long time and when I became "visible" again, I was a totally different person. Yep....good movie
You get the prize, Lenny!! Phildelphia it is!!
How about:
"Sometimes, if I wake up and it's dark, I get really scared, like I'm out there and I'm not coming back."
~"Here, hold onto this when you wake up and you're scared, you'll say "Wait a minute. I'm holding Eric's shoe. Why the hell would I be holding some smelly basketball shoe a trillion light years from the universe? I must be on earth, safe in my sleeping bag, and Eric must be close by."

Too easy, smith (but always something so wonderful to be reminded about). That, of course, is from (imho) one of the greatest little films ever made: "Stand by Me".
Among my favorite scenes is when Gordy asks Chris, "Do you think I'm weird?" With an obvious wink, Christ first says, "Definitely!"; but then turning completely serious, he says, "Hey, we're all weird." This is echoed at the very end when, many years later, Gordy's son is waiting for his dad to take him and a friend of his somewhere (swimming, it looks like), but the now-grown Gordy is too engrossed in his reminiscences, especially about how Chris (aside from Gordy's long-dead older brother) was the only one to ever encourage him to become a writer. "Your dad's weird, isn't he?" the friend asks the son. "Yeah," the son replies resignedly, "he gets like that when he's writing." Gordy hears that, smiles, and finally concludes by writing, "I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" Perhaps not. But "that low-life no-account Chris Chambers" should be a role model for all of us as to what a friend really is.
I think I'll watch that movie (again!) later; and if because of that I end up not getting my work done, smith, then it will all be your fault! [] Thanks. []

Now you've done it, smith. Just reading that bit of dialogue has me in tears. Thanks.
When "The Cure" was first released, it was around for all of one week (or so it seemed). I went alone to a midnight showing of it, and was (literally!) the only person there (something for which I found myself most grateful). The movie affected me most deeply (not to mention audibly!), especially that scene in the tent (which smith quotes here). Whenever I watch the video, I find myself at the end of that scene winding back to watch it at least once more (it's when Eric says, "...and Eric must be close by" that does it).
Like "Stand by Me", I can't recommend "The Cure" too highly; and also like "Stand by Me", be sure you have a big box of tissue handy (I still do, every time I watch it)!

Harvey!
In case they don't know already (but I suspect they do), Ashley and the Roos may want to learn that Warner Brothers later lampooned Harvey in a cartoon where Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are forced to share a hotel room. Daffy comes back from a party, in his cups, accompanied (he says) by a 6-foot kangaroo named Hymie.
While on the topic of soundtracks from our youth, David, here's one for which our younger friends should get extra credit for guessing: an Englishman returns home from the U.S and is asked, "How did you find America?" His reply: "Turned left at Greenland!"

The Lost Boys.
Try these:
"I think if Ghandi had had to hang out with you for any prolonged period of time he'd have ended up kicking the shit out of you."
"Oh, no. What happened?"
"Well, apparently, as far as anyone can tell he was ten speeding a gazillion miles an hour through central park, racing with all the other young turks, when apparently he caught his own reflection in the handle bar mirror and became so aroused by it that he burst his speedo shorts which then got caught in the gears and threw him right on his face, just splatter, luckily someone had the presence of mind to scrape his face off the pavement and put it on ice. Doctors were able to graph most of it back together."
"Can we go back to your mom's appartment and have sex?"
"No! You think that'll make you feel better? It won't. It'll just make you feel really empty and sad. You're better off masturbating."
"Well, we've decided to bump all those incredibly prominent and terribly sheik persons that you're expecting to speak at your memorial and, well, have me speak for two hours or so."
"What a clever idea. You do understand though, don't you, that it is customary in a eulogy to at least make reference to the deceased."
"I intend to mother. Time permitting."
"I'm drowning in assholes."
"Good things come to obsessive-compulsives who fixate."
"You call your mother "Mimi"?
"Heinous One" is a bit cumbersome.
They're from one of my favorite all-time most quotable movies.

An intersting side-bar to the movie is that when "Meathead" obtained permission to use the Ben E. King tune as the title-track, the record company could not collect royalites as soneone had let the copyright lapse.
Ben E. King, both the artist and composer of the piece, first learned that he had a Number "One" hit record (of that tune for the seond time) on his hands, shortly after the release of the movie soundtrack, and this from a cab-driver friend of his in New York, who remarked upon it to him when the tune stated to play on the radio during a ride uptown Manhattan, and not the record label that had originally released it.
Ironically under copyright law the originating artist always has the right of first refusal upon lapse of copyright, and Ben E. King's lawyers were able to secure for him all rights to the song that he had been forced to give away some 30-years earlier, and for the very first time actually made money from the song.

I caught it on Directv one night. Playing By Heart with Sean Commery, Gena Rowlands but the best part was Angelina Jolie and Ryan Philipe. Check it out...........
Try this one:
*"Where did you come from..Planet Loser?" ~ "As opposed to Planet Look At Me Look At Me?"
*"I know you can be overwhelmed and underwhelmed but can't you ever just be whelmed?" ~~ "I think you can in Europe."
*"I hate you when you're not around and the fact you didn't call..But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you..not at all."

"You wouldn't let me."
"Well I saw it, and it scared the shit outta me. It scared the shit out of every man in America!"
