Deliverance - Another pretty good movie that's easily identified and hard to stop watching... like a car accident or a train wreck or car accident on a train wreck.

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.

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?
bummer
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.Shadow13.com |

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!

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.

And speaking of Breaker Morant, star of the movie Edward Woodward just died today. He was 79. I'm definitely breaking the movie out tonight and tossing it in the DVD player.

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.

Nice to see all the 13th Warrior love! That movie bombed hard, and yet is one of my favorites.
Also Sahara, Labyrinth, The Incredibles, Rock & Rule, The Avengers, either Captain America, Aliens, Big Trouble in Little China, Tequila Sunrise, Highlander, The Muppet Movie (the original), The Crow, Prophecy, Vamp, The Thirteenth Floor and Lost Boys.
If I had to pick one, it would be Sahara or the first Captain America movie, both are feel-good movies for me.

Mad Max and The Road Warrior
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
John Carpenters - The Thing and Halloween (I or II)
Pretty much any Harryhausen - Gwangi, Sinbad movies, Jason and the Argonauts
Them! (doesn't get much airplay these days)
The War of the Worlds (Original - as Them!, isn't really on the tube much anymore).
Taxi Driver (rarely on)
I own all of these movies - some in multiple DVD format, but yes - when they are broadcast on the TV as part of programming - idk what it is I just want to watch them. Maybe since I saw most of these movies on TV as a kid so there is something to them coming on as programming and wanting to watch them without my deciding to put them on (Blu-ray, DVD).
Hell, in SoCal in the mid 80's they would play Mad Max as the "weekend movie" on Channel 9 - and that would mean once in the morning, once in the afternoon and again the next day. And I watched it each time. That, the Family Film Festival and Kung Fu theatre formed my early concepts of film entertainment.
There are a few more that escape me right now but of course when they come on I will be paralyzed in front of the tube.

Gladiator

That makes sense. I never watch TV these days, but if I ever get a flatscreen TV and some good cable, I might.
