Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)

[the Sheriff has said he'll cut out Robin Hood's heart with a spoon]
Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more.



For those those of you who did not notice, the sheriff in Robin Hood (Alan Rickman) later went on to play Professor Snape in the Harry Potter movies. He is HILARIOUS in Robin Hood. Great actor!

Steel Magnolias (1989)

Shelby: Truvy, you know what you need in here? You need a radio, takes the pressure off of everyone feeling they have to talk so much.
Truvy: I had one once, but I threw it up against the wall when I couldn't figure out where the batteries went. I know now I was suffering from pre-menstrual syndrome.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Annelle: Miss Truvy, I promise that my personal tragedy will not interfere with my ability to do good hair.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Truvy: Oh, Sammy's so confused he don't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ouiser Boudreaux: I'm not crazy, I've just been a very bad mood for the last 40 years!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Ouiser Boudreaux: You are evil, and you must be destroyed.
Clairee Belcher: Mother Nature's taking care of that faster than you could.

------------------------------------------------------------------


p.s.

I had to stop there...I think the whole movie is just too darn funny.

That is the closest thing that you will get to my hometown here in backwoods Georgia!!!!!

The Princess Bride (1987)

Buttercup: You can die too for all I care.
[pushes him down a high hill]
Westley: AS... YOU... WISH.
Buttercup: Oh my sweet Westley what have I done?
[throws herself down the hill]

------------------------------------------------------

Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Count Rugen: Stop saying that!

------------------------------------------------------

Westley: I told you I would always come for you. Why didn't you wait for me?
Buttercup: Well... you were dead.
Westley: Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
Buttercup: I will never doubt again.
Westley: There will never be a need.

-------------------------------------------------------

Inigo Montoya: That Vizzini, he can *fuss*.
Fezzik: Fuss, fuss... I think he like to scream at *us*.
Inigo Montoya: Probably he means no *harm*.
Fezzik: He's really very short on *charm*.
Inigo Montoya: You have a great gift for rhyme.
Fezzik: Yes, yes, some of the time.
Vizzini: Enough of that.
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
Fezzik: If there are, we all be dead.
Vizzini: No more rhyming now, I mean it.
Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut?
Vizzini: DYEEAAHHHHHH.

------------------------------------------------------

Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

------------------------------------------------------

I had to stop...that movie is awesome!!!!

In the movie "the big green" the kids are out on the ball field and they pour cheetos all over themselves to feed the birds and a lady comes out screaming and scares the birds away. The big kid says " I can't believe we wasted all our allowance for that" I laughed so hard.

It takes a disciplined person to listen to convictions which are different from their own. ~ Dorothy Fuldheim


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

I've always loved the ballroom scene in Labyrinth. From the moment Ludo says "Hungry..." to the moment her friends pull her out of her dream back into the junkyard, has long been my favorite movie scene ever. I was obsessed with it as a kid, and I didn't know why. I would watch it on the VCR, then rewind, watch it again, then rewind and watch it again. Nowadays I think of it as something of an analogy on life. At least my own, anyways.

Sara eats the peach, forgets everything. She enters a hallucinatory world of false beauty, then realizes there is something missing. She remembers her purpose and fights to come back.

Simply an amazing scene to me. I don't know if many of the other guys will be impressed. Its got ballroom dancing in it, and David Bowie is wearing a lot more makeup in it than Jennifer Connelly!

I found part of it on youtube. I'll try to get the other part up, and I'll edit this post later and paste it.

edit: Part 1.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

French Soldier: I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

Sir Bedevere: What makes you think she's a witch?
Peasant 3: Well, she turned me into a newt!
Sir Bedevere: A newt?
Peasant 3: [meekly after a long pause] ... I got better.
Crowd: [shouts] Burn her anyway!

Knight 1: We are now no longer the Knights who say Ni.
Knight 2: NI.
Other Knights: Shh...
Knight 1: We are now the Knights who say...”Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG. Zoom-Boing. Z'nourrwringmm.

Tim: Follow. But. Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.
King Arthur: What an eccentric performance.

And to keep this in the context of a religious site...

God: Arthur, King of the Britons, your Knights of the Round Table shall have a task to make them an example in these dark times.
King Arthur: Good idea, O Lord!
God: 'Course it's a good idea!
