Ack! I'm realizing I'm in the wrong life stage for this discussion. I used to be really good at this game. Now I watch so few movies, and it's been so long since I've seen one, I'm really slow on the identification of quotes.
Here's one that I'm hoping to see in a couple weeks; nice and easy, right over the plate:
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in its petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time."
No takers? I figured John Kretzer and TriOmegaZero would have nailed it in 10 seconds. Here's a bit more of it:
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death."

B:"My whole life, I've taken crap because I'm part Pilgrim. And I don't know why. "
T:"Sit down. You're one of the last descendants of a dying race. Pilgrims were the first space explorers and sailors. For five centuries they defied the odds. They embraced space, and for that, they were rewarded with a flawless sense of direction. They could feel magnetic fields created by quasars and black holes, negotiate singularities, navigate not just the stars, but space-time itself. "

Here is another one in the same theme:
"Imagine for a moment that this thing is not anything that can be identified because it prefers not to be. Wherever there is life, it brings death, because it is evil, absolute evil. "

"My mother was a pure woman from a noble family. And I, at least, know who my father is, you pig-eating, son of a whore!"
"Have you ever seen fire in zero gravity? It's beautiful. It's like liquid it... slides all over everything. Comes up in waves. And they just kept hitting him, wave after wave. He was screaming for me to save him."
Event Horizon! Sam McNeill was scary!
OK does that make it my turn? If so:
"Like I told my last wife, I sez Honey, I never drive faster than I can see, and besides that, it's all in the reflexes"

Big Trouble in Little China. One of my favorite fun movies of all time.
"My mother was a pure woman from a noble family. And I, at least, know who my father is, you pig-eating, son of a whore!"The 13th Warrior, an incredibly underrated film.
I agree. I just love the look on their faces when first speaks their language.

S: "You see what this city does to people? All those two guys need is someone to talk to them."
H: "The little guy needs his money, and the big guy needs a two by four upside his head, that's he needs."
Calling the 13th Warrior underrated... well, you hear something new every day. Cannibal neanderthals riding in a procession with torches... oh, the pain...

"The fumes of the dead are in the air like poison. The plague, more cruel and more pitiless than war, descended upon us. A pestilence, that would leave half of our kingdom dead. Where did it come from? What carried its germ. The priests told us it was God's punishment. For what sin? What commandment must we break that could earn this? No, we knew the truth. This was not God's work, but devilry. Or witchcraft. But our task, to hunt down a demon, was God's cure."

Yes. An underrated film that has my favorite of Sean Bean's many, many, deaths.

Here's an easy one.
Woman on boat: "I'm bored Margo. If only I could find a real man."
Man parachutes onto boat, grabs the phone: "She'll call you back."
Man dials a number: "**** here, I'll report in an hour."
Woman holds up a glass of wine: "Won't you join me?"
Man to phone: "Better make that two."
I Know it's Bond, not sure which one... I think it's Dalton... The Living Daylights?
Dalton is so under-appreciated as Bond. He may not be as good a Connery, Brosnan, or Craig, but he is much better than Roger Moore.
Correct.
Dalton was a great bond, but the plots were so-so. He was supposed to play Bond for a third movie, but the legal wrangling that came about after MGM/UA was sold delayed production until 1993 and Dalton's contract had expired. He still could have made the film, but when he read the script for Goldeneye he didn't like it and decided not to play Bond again.
He goes for License to Kill and pooh-poohs Goldeneye (which I consider second only to Goldfinger among the pre-Craig Bond films)? Interesting decision-making process.
Oh, and ... George Lazenby was a better Bond than Roger Moore.
For me, Connery will always be the best Bond. He was first. He was charismatic. He was at the nexus of the right place and the right time. He will always be the Bond other Bonds are judged against.
Roger Moore will always be the worst Bond to me. The only redeeming factor is that Moore got the most epic Bond plots. They left the Earth in Moonraker to thwart a group that wanted to kill off the entire human population. I'm not sure any of the others come close to being as grandiose.
I still like the Dalton Bond movies, but he didn't do as well as he could have. I don't blame him, though. I blame the director. I've seen Dalton give better performances. When I know an actor can do better, but doesn't, it's the director's fault.
(This one may have been done already, but I can't remember.)
MH: But I wanted to know what it was like... how you feel.
JM: You know how I was supposed to feel. That person isn't me... never was. You wanted to know what it was about us that made us human. Well, you're not going to find it... [points at his head] ...in here. You were looking in the wrong place.

Reign of Fire
Calling the 13th Warrior underrated... well, you hear something new every day.Allow me to clarify.
It's vastly underrated.
My problem with it is, and always was, that it's really, really trying to be Beowulf. It wasn't.
I have a similar response to Pocahontas.
I get what they were trying to do. It's pretty clever.
But I wanted one thing and got something very different.
Maybe if I saw it again, I'd enjoy it more. But the first several times just bothered me to no end.
(Just to be clear: I would have probably been okay with it had I not been raised with the original legends. I have come to like their musical numbers, though Pocahontas still feels overly preachy and bothers me for the sharp division from any link to history, legend, or other account we have. Similarly, the old Johnny Appleseed bothers me, though I enjoy the music and art. On the other hand, I like both Mulan and Hunchback of Notre Dame because, frankly, they're awesome, and I hadn't read tons of stuff on them before hand.)
MS: "He stayed at his post, when the other trainees ran."
Is... that... supposed to be Wrath of Khan?

Here's a softball for everyone:
IJ: Snakes... why did it have to be snakes...
Spoilers below. :)
Really? You're a Geat? :P
Close: a geek. :D
And by "it wasn't" I don't mean that in the snobbish, "It's merits were weak, blah-blah, not as good as the ancient greats, etc." but rather, "This isn't the story that I came for."
Story A: big muscle guy out-strengths an invulnerable rage beast, defeats a semi-immortal hag, and much later dies killing a dragon.
Story B: big muscle guy kills cannibals until they leave a Danish village alone and/or are all dead, and dies doing it.
Not really the same thing, you know?
It's like those people who hateDisney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. I love it, but if you're expecting Victor Hugo's classic... don't. It's not this movie.
(Or the Little Mermaid, though the protagonist in that one is... less than awesome...)
There are parallels there, sure, and certainly some direct inspiration, but it's... not the same story.
(And, holy cow is Frozen not the same story as the old tale of The Snow Queen. I mean... there's snow in both of them, and a palace made of ice and someone that can do ice... things. /parallel. Still love that movie, though.)
I fully admit that it's probably largely due to managing expectations. That's what I was trying to say.
But... it was highly frustrating watching it and being disappointed by the differences in what I came to watch and what I actually saw. It's clever, and probably well made, but I couldn't appreciate it, because it wasn't what it was (to my mind) advertised to be.

I don't care about jumping around as long as we can agree to disown the abomination that was 4.
That movie never happened. The first rule is, never talk about that movie.
