    It was so exciting and yet so terrifying. How thrilling! Then we
    went past the people on the carousel. Where's the fun in that? You
    just go around and around, nothing changes....Yup. I like the
    roller coaster."

    Freeman had most of the truly wise lines in this movie and his

    comment to the little girl upon her questioning him regarding his
    color:
    
    girl: "Did God paint you?"
    
    Azeem: roughly yes Allah most certainly did paint me.
    
    girl: "Why did He paint you?"
    
    Azeem: "Allah loves infinite variety."
    
    perhaps a bit P.C. for 13th century England, but Azeem was Moorish and
    the Moors of the time, at least those following true Islam, were very
    advanced and tolerant people.  Who cares if it is anacronistic anyhow,
    it is a beautiful statement.

    Sydney turns around to the bear and makes all kinds of funny noises at
    the bear.

movie that Belushi starred with John Ritter where they were spys and had

Clouseau to passer-by "Do you know the way to the Palace Hotel ?"
Passer-by " Yes" - carries on walking.

Yah, and he did some pretty strange things with cockroaches too ;-) Great Movie!
My personal favorite line of the movie; "Get me my lipstick - it's in my purse".

In November, 1990 - I brought a Lady to that movie on our first date.  At the 
time, it was pretty embarrasing (kinda graphic for a first date kinda movie), 
but now that we've been married for 9 months, we look back at it fondly.

That guy, Lora Dern's cousin Dale, was played by Crispin Glover, a truely 
intense individual. And you mentioned Dennis Hopper too. Well these two guys 
came together in one of my favorites - RIVERS EDGE.  Hopper played a crazed 
pervert (Feck) in hiding for 10 years after killing his girlfriend (because he 
"loved her"). He supplies marijuana to the Crispin Golver's and Keneau Reeves'
of the community for free. Crispin's Character brings his friend, John, to Fecks
place to hide him out for a while because he (John) had just killed his 
girlfriend and is shooting his mouth off about it and bringing people to see 
the body;
	Crispin's Character: Feck - this is John - He has to hide out here
		for a while. He just killed his Girlfriend.
	Feck: (passionately) Did you love her?
	John: (indifferently) She was o.k.
Ione Skye (Leach - Donovan's (hurdy gurdy man's) daugher) is also in this movie
(Clorissa). She was made even more popular later as Diane Court in SAY ANYTHING.
If ANY of you out there haven't seen RIVERS EDGE, see it! 

Well enough about that - I've been in DEC for 8 years and just stumbled across
this conference today. Needless to say, I'm a little behind!  So here's a 
"movie quote" dump fer ya. (a lot of these are "ya had to be there"'s so if
you weren't there - GET THERE);

in HEATHERS - Christian Slater plays a high school nutcase and Wynona Ryder is
his girlfriend. Normally Christian Slater annoys the hell out of me (Kuffs) but
this movie was something else;
	-----
	(Christian's Character)
	"who CARES if I'm killing everyone in High School - Nobody likes me"
	-----
	(one of the Heathers - speaking of a glass of Drain-o that is being 
	handed to her by Wynona and Christian just prior to her sudden death) 
	"did you hock a Phlegm-Blob in here?"
	-----
	(Christian's Character - setting up the staged suicide of a couple of
	"jock" students that had been bothering him, placing various "homosexual
	artifacts" around the dead bodies (that he had just shot) one of them 
	being a jar of mineral water)
	"Hey - this is Ohio - If you don't have a brewskie in your hand, you
	might as well be wearing a dress!"
	-----
	(Father of one of the slain students at his funural crying at the open
	casket and speaking to everyone in the church)
	"I love my Son - I LOVE MY DEAD GAY SON"

in LOVE AND WAR;
	Diane Keaton: You're just being Jajoom!
	Woody Allen: You have the tomography to tell ME that I'M being Jajoom?

in ANNIE HALL;
	(In the opening, we're reviewing Alvie's (Woody's character's) troubled
	nurotic childhood - He's about 10 and his mother is bringing him to his
	analyst);
	Mother: Ok Alvie - tell the doctor what's bothering you today - go ahead
	tell him!
	Alvie: (under his breath) The universe is expanding.
	Mother: (to the doctor) You SEE! Did you hear THAT????  The UNIVERSE
	is expanding! (to alvie) Who the hell CARES about the universe! We're 
	here in	Brooklyn! 

in JOHNNY DANGEROUSLY;
	(the scene is getting blurry as Michael Keaton is about to lecture
	an apple-stealer-kid about his troubled past)
	Kid: Hey WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!
	Keaton: Don't worry. That always happens when you talk about the past.
	-----
	"This is FARGING WAR!"

in (my favorite) HAROLD AND MAUDE;
	(Maude is pulling over and offering Harold a ride in the Hearse she
	is driving - actually - Harold's Hearse that she had just stolen)
	Maude: Oh I know we're going to be good friends.  Would you like a 
	ride home Harold?
	Harold: Um... This is my car.
	Maude: YOUR HEARSE?? (as she screeches to a stop) Then YOU shall drive
	ME HOME.
	-----later-----
	(this was not the first car she's stolen...)
	Harold: Do you always jump into any car you see and drive away?
	Maude: Well, not just ANY car... I like to keep up a variety.
	Harold: (after a oddly long pause) Well, nevertheless, I think you're
	upsetting people.
	Maude: Well I just like to act as a gentle reminder - here today, gone
	tommorow - so - don't get attached to THINGS. And with THAT in mind,
	I'm not against collecting (segway into the next scene...)
	-----still later-----
	(Harold presents Maude with a little token he made at the Arcade
	that is inscribed "Harold Loves Maude")
	Maude: This is the best gift that I have ever recieved (she then 
	tosses it into the lake - he looks at her in question)  That way 
	I will ALWAYS know where it is.

in PRINCESS BRIDE;
	"Bye Bye Boys... Have fun Storming the Castle"

in HAIRSPRAY (Pia Zarorra's (cameo) character);
	"Let's get naked and smoke and iron the chick's hair"

How 'bout Helen Shaw's character (grandmother) in PARENTHOOD;
(after Steve Martin discovers that what-he-thought-was-a-flashlight was um...
something else);
	Taylor (Steve's Daughter): Mom - what was THAT!
	Mom: Um... a contraption for um.. removing ear wax.
	Taylor: It was kinda... BIG.
	Grandma: It SURE WAS!

Finally, in "STAND BY ME" (a one worder);
	"Barf-o-rama".

(the kid that played Lard-ass was the same kid that played McCauley Culkin's 
older brother (character's name escapes me) in the Home Alone movies.

Ok. that's it - I'll be in touch if I think of anything else.  Finally a

p.s. me and my wife watched A CLOCKWORK ORANGE this weekend. I hadn't seen
it for 15 years - she had never.  Maybe we should start a topic to talk about
interpretations of that movie - and, oh yah, another for ERASERHEAD!

P.S. hey basenoter (Randy Satterfield) your personal name;
	"Close enough for jazz." 
would that be the VM tune on Too Long in Exile? or is it from something else?

Not a joke.  Just a little demo on what 25 years can do to a memory.
Actually - as a teen - I probably said the "tomography" and "jajoom"
version ten thousand times.  I always thought they were words that
Woody made up, and that was the whole joke.  I actually don't remember
much of anything else about that movie.

Thanks for the correction.

    Shall we tell him how far behind he'd be if the original MOVIES
    conference hadn't been trashed?
    

In Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes:

Virtual Nazi nasty (Austro-hungarian aristo, Paul Lucaks was doing another part
in the film, but you get the idea...) being terribly polite about holding the
escapading Brits:

"We can all be civilized about this...(or something to that effect)...after all,
I went to Oxford."

Michael Redgrave (manic English hero) slugs him on the jaw and knocks him out.
Looks round apologetically to staid English companions.

"I went to Cambridge."

Goes down a treat at the Arts cinema matinees.

    re: .83
    
    I saw this once at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge MA.  As you
    would expect, Redgrave's retort got a rousing cheer!

    In 'Chariots of Fire', Eric Liddell prefers not to meet the Prince of

    "Sir, my arrogance extends just as far as my conscience demands".

    'chariots of fire' has lots of quotes i like:
    
    'god made me for a purpose, but he also made me *fast*'
    
    'regrets? perhaps...no doubts, though'
    
    'he ran them off their feet'
    

    'the 100-yard dash is run on nerves...it's tailor-made for neurotics.'

    The best quote is from True Romance when the mafia breaks in on
    Christian Slaters apartment to find Brad Pitt (Slaters roommate) Pitt
    is siting smoking Pot and asks the mafia if they would like to to smoke
    a bowl.  
    
    Pitt-"He went to some hotel.  You guys want to smoke a bowl?"
    
    Mafia-cocks shot-gun and points it at Pitt

    The quote is "What we have here is a failure to communicate."
    
    The original quote is from actor Strother Martin;  Paul 
    Newman repeats it (with a sense of irony) at the end of
    the movie.
    
    See the whole movie.  Another reference shows up in

      I listened to the Guns 'n' Roses intro, and that sounds
      like Strother Martin's voice to me, taken directly from
      the movie.  But I'd have to watch "Cool Hand Luke" again
      to be sure.  (Not a bad idea anyway:  my memory of the
      quote seems to have added the word "a" over time.  I wonder

    It was 2-for-1 time, so I rented "Cool Hand Luke" -- a great
    movie.  And the intro to Guns 'n' Roses' "Civil War" is an
    exact transplant from the movie sound track of a short speech
    by Strother Martin that happens about 1:23 into the story.  Paul
    Newman's version of the line occurs later as "What we got here
    is a failure to communicate."
    
    George Kennedy is terrific in this, too.  And I had completely
    forgotten the appearance by a young Dennis Hopper.  Classic movie
    making here.

>    Where from abouts in the film was this?? I don't seem to recall it.

Hauer delivers the line when he walks into 'EyeWorld' while Chen/Chan
is working on some cryogenics...

The original is from the poem 'America' and goes something like:

	Fiery the angels rose
	And as they rose, deep thunder roll'd across their shores
	Burning indignant with the fires of Orc

The preceding line having something to do with Boston, actually.
All things considered, I think the BR version is better....

There are three versions:  the original replacement-for-a-pissed-off-
Vangelis NAS version, a bootleg of Vangelis' tapes that came out 
about a year ago, and the recent release of Vangelis' score which will
be at any reasonably stocked music store.
    

    re: .126
    
    The new one is on Atlantic Records, catalogue #82623-2.  It's cover
    bears some resemblance to the NAO version, in that it has the montage
    from the movie poster (featuring the faces of Harrison Ford and Sean
    Young).

    Why was Vangelis P-O'ed about the sound track to blade runner?
    
    Also, I heard a rumor that Vangelis does not read music. Is this true?
    (Yanni does not; he fiddles something out on the keyboard, then hands
    it over to a composer to orchestrate).
    
    To stay on the topic... from Forrest Gump:

    			Jim

>    Why was Vangelis P-O'ed about the sound track to blade runner?

The story is that Scott kept changing the action and scoring requirements
and Vangelis just was fed up with it all so he withdrew his score.
    

    
    :-?  Vangelis's score *was* in the movie.  I thought it was some kind
    of hassle over the album (still, back then) rights.

    If you browse the usenet, rec.arts.music.movies (or maybe it's just

    is Captain."

    It's "Seven years of college down the drain."

 This you know, the years travel fast. And time after
 time, I've done the Tell. But this ain't one 'body's Tell. It's the
 Tell of us all. We got it mouth to mouth so you gotta listen it, and
 'member, 'cuz what you hears today, you gotta tell the birthed tomorrow.
 I was lookin' behind us now. Into history, back. I see those of us that
 got the luck and started the haul for home. And I 'members how it led
 us here and how we was heartful 'cuz we'd seen what there once was.
 One look, and we knew we'd got it straight. Those who had gone
 before had the knowin' and doin' of things beyond our reckonin'.
 Even beyond our dreamin'.

 Time counts and keeps countin'. And we knows now, finding the
 trick of what's been and lost ain't no easy ride. But that's our
 track. We gotta travel it, and there ain't nobody knows where it's
 gonna lead. Still, in all, every night we does the Tell, so that
 we 'member who we was, and where we came from. But most of all,
 we 'members the man who finded us, him that came the salvage.
 And we lights the city, not just for him, but for all them that are
 still out there, 'cuz we knows, there'll come a night when they sees
 the distant light, and they'll be comin' home.

    >Isn't it amazing how the English language deteriorates over time?
    
    
    Definitely.  It's so hard these days to find anyone who speaks proper
    Middle English.  Even harder to find someone fluent in the Olde.
