Yup! I love Back to the Future, and typically I will stop and watch whenever I find it on the air (particularly if it's near the end - I absolutely love the climax).I'm confused. What do you have against such a great movie?Back to the Future.Damn.
Damn. Damn.
Damn. Damn. Damn.
That's a Dr. Brown quote when he, in 1955, is waiting for Marty to show up for their attempt to send him back to 1985. He looks at 3 different watches muttering 'damn' more and more times.

*Facepalm* Ya, I remember now. Don't know how I forgot in the first place. Time to borrow my brother's box set again.
Also, that make much more sense then you disliking the movie.
prison is no fantasyland.Wait...prison isn't a fantasyland?
It's not a place of magic and happiness?How come I'm just now hearing about this?
Why hasn't anybody told me about this until now?All these years...I've been living a lie.
My dreams have been crushed.
This really doesn't seem to be the thread to try quoting the movies that are being discussed.
So you are saying that women's prisons are not filled with stunning, sweaty, young, scantily-clad, oh-so-repentant bad girls and the beautiful but domineering female guards who watch over them in an atmosphere of unbearable sexual tension?
Hardly. It's mostly meth-heads with black eyes and no teeth.
Fortunately, I don't spend very much time in prison because I made sure to max out my ranks in Escape Artist.

Oh, don't worry.
That wasn't a quote, it was just a really bad joke.
But the winner is Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie PoulainYes! Great movie!
I like the part when the blind man "levels up".
You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.
*whistles*
Let me help you. Step down. Here we go! The drum major's widow! She's worn his coat since the day he died. The horse's head has lost an ear! That's the florist laughing. He has crinkly eyes. In the bakery window, lollipops. Smell that! They're giving out melon slices! Sugarplum, ice cream! We're passing the park butcher. Ham, 79 francs. Spareribs, 45! Now the cheese shop. Picadors are 12.90. Cabecaus 23.50. A baby's watching a dog that's watching the chickens. Now we're at the kiosk by the metro. I'll leave you here. Bye!
Oh, don't worry.

Right, but what your joke was responding to about prison being a fantasyland was a quote; I wasn't sure you had caught that based on your response. Based on that and the fact that someone misunderstood Sebastian's Back to the Future quote earlier, I just meant that there wasn't a great record of people recognizing movie quotes in this thread. Sorry for the confusion.
Adventures of Baron Munchausen
Better of Dead
Lethal Weapon 1 or 2
Princess Bride
Wow, 80% compatibility. Although I suppose that goes up to 82% since I'll stop on Baron if it's the scene where Uma is painted into the wall...
Also, Princess Bride, original 3 Star Wars, Star Trek II, IV, VI, A Clockwork Orange, a bunch of other that have already been mentioned, Grifters, Blow, Crimson Tide, True Romance, Spaceballs, any pre-90's Bill Murray movie, any John Belushi movie other than 1941, any John Hughes movie, Serenity, (damn, it's a wonder I ever get anything done in life), most Paul Newman movies, especially The Hustler, The Color of Money and Slap Shot, The Jerk, and a bunch of other movies.
Even really bad ones.

The Sea Wolf (Edward G. Robinson/Ida Lupino)
Soylent Green
The Omen (Gregory Peck/Lee Remick)
It's weird that two of those three movies have Edward G. Robinson in them...I think he must be transmitting a cultural truth to me, or something.
A true story: "The Sea Wolf" was on tv, and our new dog had just run away. All of my family went out looking for our dog, and I sat on the couch and I thought, "I need to see this; the dog can wait."
Also, I once watched "The Omen" three times in a row, straight. Then I took a break for dinner/bathroom, and then sat down and watched it a fourth time.
Wow, now I know I'm not alone in the world reading all of the previous posts. I probably have more than one, being a film buff, (including most of the ones mentioned before: Star Wars (ep. 4-6), Star Trek, Princess Bride, Kurosawa films, Blade Runner, Alien & Aliens, and so forth).
I was going to say 'Master and Commander' but I just realized that there is one (or rather three) that are my ultimate stumble-upon and watch to the end movies.
A Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
and, of course, the ultimate:
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.
Fantastic. I didn't realize I had winners in this category. But those are also the most likely to be a weekend movie on a lazy Saturday afternoon (or night). Plus, there used to be a Clint Eastwood marathon every time I went to stay with my Grand parents, so any of those (plus 'Where Eagles Dare') is a sure winner and feel good movie in my book. No baggage, just great, stark storytelling and happy memories.
So awesome.
