My wife and I just conversed on our Verizon phones, she with the nicer one, and in the midst of our repartee, I called her “baby” followed by “and nobody puts Baby in a corner.” Which got me thinking about famous movie lines. Not very spiritual, I know. Sue me.
I quickly imagined a blog about such matters, thinking your comments might add to these memorable quotes off the top of my head:
“That’s enough about me. Let’s talk about you. What do you think of me?” (Bette Midler, Beaches)
“I’m the king of the world!” (Leonardo DiCaprio, Titanic)
“Bond. James Bond.” (Sean Connery, Dr. No)
“My momma always said ‘life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.'” (Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump)
“Every man dies. Not every man really lives.” (Mel Gibson, Braveheart)
“Yo, Adrian!” (Sly Stallone, Rocky)

Okay, this one’s totally unspiritual, but it never ceases to crack me up:
“But why is the rum gone?” – Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean
(It’s been on my mind lately because I’m packing to move and the world’s best boxes happen to be from the liquor store. So I’ve got beer, gin, whiskey, vodka, wine, and RUM boxes all over my house!)

“There’s no place like home.” -Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz
“Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya? Punk?” – Dirty Harry
“I’d rather have fifteen minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.” – Shelby (Julia Roberts), Steel Magnolias
And from As Good as it Gets:
“You make me want to be a better man.” – Melvin (Jack Nicholson)
“That’s maybe the best compliment of my life.” – Carol (Helen Hunt)
“Well, maybe I overshot a little, because I was aiming at just enough to keep you from walking out.” – Melvin

I watched a movie last night with Courtney called “Duplex” and it was really funny. The most memorable line (I believe I shall never forget it!) was when this old woman pivots around in her recliner and says to her would be assassin (who has a rather large knife in his hand!) “I knew they would send a professional sooner or later, but you’ve brought a knife to a gunfight!” and shoots him in the shoulder with a harpoon gun! It is directed by Danny DeVito so you can understand the humor.
