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'
This character argues his elder brother's assertion as the elder brother holds court-head of the table in his father's chair..."They didn't know it was pop's birthday."
The father? I got it:::he's been sent on a wild goose chase.
The Godfather i think
Mike and Sonny argue about the Army and Sonny almost beats up Michael because hes so high strung and Mike wants to fight the enemy
To Sonny the enemy is other gangs but Mike sees the big picture
You got it, Yonk!
shareAwesome!
Kind of a guess but Sonny sitting in his Pop's chair clued me in
You kick my ass at this most of the time bud!
It's great learning from you & all the other fellows on MC, as well.
shareMuch obliged
You are tops buddy!
When i see your trivia posts i kinda get nervous...takes me half the day to figure them out and you still always beat me
You rock dude
You & the guys are tops in my book as well, Yonk. A fine bunch with great hearts & minds. You take these movies seriously and know your business. You're all extremely competent. We joke around, but, not within the facts of the movies we discuss and debate. That's so important. We never denigrate this ground. We honor it with our words, thoughts and our confirmations.
MC
Exactly right
MC
The scene commences with the character dismounting his horse, dropping to the ground, a heavy drink from a demanded canteen, unsheathes his knife, then gashes the earth with it.
After a second & this time very intimate inquiry from the young man who'd been engaged to this man's niece, the girl's uncle has had it..."As long as you live don't ever ask me more!"
"Jr." obeys.
Beautiful B&W...(((Arguably))) the most violent scene in motion picture history. No words---just ______, guttural groans & low pitch screams.
This character is dragged into the toilet area---his face is pressed hard against frosted glass...a few beats of struggle then a single beat of silence before what I describe in the first paragraph is accomplished.
I should know this.
shareHe'd been warned by "Patton" --- but, disregarded that warning. "Carrie's" "mother" met him at the door to their slovenly apartment. He could not open that door---the shape he was in.
sharecan't be The Hustler
shareYep, it can & is.
"Bert"/George C. Scott/Patton warned him about going into a big time pool hall. And the guy who breaks his knuckles is in the pool hall when he and Fats go at it the first time! He's against the wall in a sequence. He knows Eddie is a hustler and then recognizes him that night.
Then he knocked on the apt door with his elbows. She/Piper Laurie answers.
breaks his thumbs.
shareI forgot the body part. lol!
The cracking sound there is very disturbing. And of course just for good measure they beat the shit out of him a little. His face is bloody & bruised. They don't show you that action, just the result. It's better that way. We imagine what happens after they break his thumbs when we see him at the apt. door. We go back then and complete the scene in our minds.
I read in Piper's autobiography that in the scene where "Bert" whispers in her ear at that party and she smacks him and has a breakdown that he didn't say anything of import. Just nonsense that she doesn't even remember. Said that she had to go somewhere in her mind long before he leaned in to her ear. It's a great recall in the book. Makes perfect sense.
Here's a good one...this movie concerns an assassination.
This character is an obese man, a legend not of the genre he is involved in here. It's a about a 3 minute scene. This is the end of it:::
"You're as crazy as your mama! Goes to show you it's in the genes."
"I must say, I was impressed to see that she made proper use of the word myriad in her suicide note."
shareTeacher to pupil:
"Professional assassination ...is the highest form of public service."
Pupil -" You know you are a real pain in the ass. "
Teacher : " That is because it is the shortest route to your brain. "
Pupil : " Monosodium glutamate. You can't even say it. "
Teacher :" I can say rat droppings. That does not mean I want to eat them. "
Teacher : " Remember, perfection is a road , not a destination."
1980s movie

Seeing as this post is still getting replies after 2 months...
"I'm warning you, I've taken precautions. If anything happens to me or if you speak to anyone, my offer is no longer valid. I'm leaving now, with or without you..."
(might not be 100% correct but it's close enough)
