Think of a movie you love and post some dialogue...
Offer a hint as to the context, the lighting or soundtrack, describe a scene...
Other posters have to figure out the movie
I will start:
A few dudes are going fishing...
'Were going to need a bigger boat'
- "Had nothin', made nothin', the picture is a phony, cost me a week's pay!" The character then rips this photograph into 4 pieces and tosses it into the garbage can.
The next time the picture is shown it fills the final frame. His fellows have retrieved the fake photo & taped it together.
Cool Hand Luke
shareYep!
Here it is:::

That is one of the greatest movies ever made
I'd have words with anybody who says different
Paul Newman was simply amazing, George Kennedy was the perfect 'Big Lug' buddy and Dennis Hopper appears as a random chain gang inmate in a very early role...i certainly have a short list of all time favorites and 'Luke is right up there
Thanks for the link...im gonna be humming that tune for days

shareA young man has picked up a hitcher ( who's on the run ) :
" You ain't no country preacher , Preacher "
Leap of Faith
shareWanna know why he ain't no country preacher, tex? The "Preacher" located his dislocated shoulder using his belt & his weight.
shareThunderbolt and Lightfoot, probably the dirtiest Clint Eastwood movie I have seen, and that's a compliment. I am still trying to figure out if it's more of an Eastwood movie or a Jeff Bridges vehicle. It was raunchy and morally murky. Two generations on the fritz with nothing to live for because they struggled to find their way through changing times.
shareBoy was i way off!
Never saw this one which is weird
Two great stars!
It's one of those that will make you say, "Huh, what did I just watch?" You'll get a different interpretation after each time. I didn't like it upon my first viewing initially but the flick has grown on me. Watch it when you're in the mood for something trashy - 70s style.
share& Lightfoot, in that wig & mini skirt wasn't 1/2 bad. ;)
shareIt was the 70s after all. What's not to love (^=^)!
share"Goody" bless his heart took his ice cream truck driver job seriously. Having the time of his life.
Kennedy chasing Bridges around when Bridges questions what was so hard about the job as they're all standing in that field. Great moments of hilarity, but, Lord it ends hard.
One of my all time favorites. George Kennedy frantically drives it to it's bitter conclusion. He's psychotic.
Difficult to re-watch, so, I don't. I just keep it in my heart & mind.
***Probably Bridges vehicle. He's electric start to end & an early Eastwood grants on him.
"raunchy" eh? That full frontal of the housewife, yes. "Lightfoot" describing it that evening in the cramped trailer nearly gets him killed then.
He was a king size ball buster. He was right though wasn't he?...It was the Thunderbolt who saved Kennedy's life in Korea. Not vice versa.
If Clint Eastwood is in the movie, even as an extra, it’s a Clint Eastwood movie. Bridges is good. He’s had an estimable and honorable career. He comes from a dynastic acting family. He. Simply. Is. Not. Clint. The only other name that can appear in the same sentence with Clint Eastwood is John “Duke” Wayne, and he was half the genre actor that Clint is.
shareWhat has Eastwood not done? I'm just so amazed at how active he continues to be in the film industry, being able to produce works at a brisk pace, developing a reputation as a reliable studio workhorse. There is a featurette in his 'Blood Work' title where he explains that each scene is shot in a single take, elaborating that he feels it gives off a more natural look to the audience. I'm sure it also lowers production costs too.
To be fair to John Wayne, he had to learn the acting trade on his own along the way as there were no workshop classes or training establishments in his day to my knowledge, at least not in the early American sound era.
Duke Wayne is a legend, a true Movie Star. I don’t know if Clint took acting classes; he certainly could have. I DO know that he portrays the emotion of anger more convincingly than I have seen anyone else do it, and that was the result of his life experience, not schooling. A question from his Playboy Interview, long ago, asked him how he became so adept at anger. This is a paraphrase, but he replied something like, “Real people try to keep anger inside, but most actors try to let it out. I just remember all the bad auditions I had, with someone sitting across from me, judging me. I get angry, and I hold it in.”
He also has a great view of life. Years after Playboy, in another interview, he was asked how he felt about getting older. Again, this is a paraphrase: “Are you kidding? I love it! It means I can play parts that I couldn’t play before.” I think it says a lot about the man that the actors in the films he directs love him. They say that he gives them the best lines, and that the atmosphere on his shoots is so calm, relaxed and organized. His action peers were Stallone and Schwarzenegger. I am certain that both of them would be thrilled to have had HALF the career of Clint Eastwood. And they should be.
The Duke was a great actor
shareJoseph : " Killin' Generals could get to be a habit with me. "
shareLittle Big Man
shareNo , a few years earlier
shareI know that line comes from some kind of war movie but can't put my name on it. Has a handful of notable movie stars.
shareIt will come to you , twinA - a great war movie with three Oscar winners, three nominees for other films.
oops , another one of the actors also took home an Oscar - I just read about it
Wait, a young Charles Bronson said that in a nonchalant delivery to his superior officer, played by Lee Marvin. Telly Savalas also appears as physically and mentally dangerous man. I know it. Ah, what is it called!
shareThis character gave an apple pie to our hero...
& the same character took a fit:::"This is a goddamn conspiracy is what this is. I want him found now. Not after breakfast, now!"

The Green Mile
shareYep. Absolutely!!!
shareone of my favs
shareIt's a little too cozy for me, hownos,,,
All of the condemned on the Mile, save "Billy The Kid" is a swell guy.
"They" exclude "Percy" at default---then cast him down for being resentful over it.
Edgecomb acts like his shit don't stink.
'Old' Edgecomb complains about being immortal but then holds that immortality over the heads of some of his fellow rest homers.
