[Chris Knight is trying to hit on Susan, a beautiful woman he finds in Professor Hathaway’s house]
Chris Knight: So, if there’s anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you, you just let me know.
Susan: Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?
Chris Knight: Not right now.
Susan: A girl’s gotta have her standards.
[She walks out]
I watched this a few days ago for the first time in years and, while I didn’t find it quite as funny as I did 20 years ago, it still has some great lines. The exchange above is an old joke- but what makes it really funny is his response of “Not right now.” Never say “never” ;)
A very young Val Kilmer plays Chris Knight, and he did a great job in this whacked-out role.

McLeach:[Catches Joanna stealing his eggs] Got your hand caught in the cookie jar, eh? What do you take me for, you dumb animal? My mental capacities are twice what yours are, you pea brain!
[Opens the box to find it empty; Joanna hides]
I thought that the original Rescuers movie was ok, but I loved this sequel. John Candy was pretty funny as the voice of Wilbur the Albatross, but the real gem was George C. Scott as the voice of Percival C. McLeach, the villain. With two kids I’ve seen this movie dozens of times but I still enjoy it.

Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd: I don’t believe in matrimony- it screws up a relationship.
OK, the movie is definitely corny. But I love Charles Durning’s small part in it, and Dolly Parton’s version of the song “I will Always Love You” totally blows away Whitney Houston’s version.
Some of the hooters weren’t bad, either ;)

Sue: Fuck me, Santa! Fuck me, Santa! Fuck me, Santa!
I meant to post this on Christmas Day but never got around to it. The movie was just ok, but watching and hearing Lauren Graham scream out this line was well worth watching the entire movie for! ;)

Just a bit of a warning here- this one leaves the ranks of the G-rated quotes.
Larry: You have the face of an angel.
Alice: Thank you.
Larry: What does your cunt taste like?
Alice: Heaven.
I didn’t really like this movie that much, but I love this quote. A 43T friend said something today that reminded me of this- she will know why ;)

Dr. Jean Grey: You would die for them?
Logan: No, not for them… for you.
An awesome conclusion to the X-men trilogy. I’m not sure that I could really pick a favorite, I loved them all.

[Gil has been complaining about his complicated life; Grandma wanders into the room]
Grandma: You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster.
Gil: Oh?
Grandma: Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride!
Gil: What a great story.
Grandma: I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn’t like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.
Probably my favorite movie from director Ron Howard, who has done some great movies (Night Shift, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, and many others). A wonderful, heartwarming, and comparatively realistic look at the joys and pains of parenthood and life in general.

Ben Bowman: What got into Jean-Paul?
Dr. Jonathan Hemlock: I don’t know. A little jumpy, I guess.
Ben Bowman: You been jumping his wife?
Dr. Jonathan Hemlock: No, why?
Ben Bowman: You sure?
Dr. Jonathan Hemlock: Well, I think it’s something I’d know.
A classic Clint Eastwood movie, with a fascinating espionage story and some gorgeous scenery. The helicopter image of Dr. Hemlock (Eastwood) in front of the Eiger North Face is one of the most impressive shots I’ve ever seen. Some of the best mountaineers of the time worked on the film crew and it shows in the scenes on the Eiger. If only the Hollywood types hadn’t forced Clint to wear a construction hardhat instead of a climbing helmet!

Jeremiah Johnson:[Jeremiah and Caleb see a bird flying across the sky] Hawk. Goin’ for the Musselshell. Take me a week’s ridin’, and he’ll be there in… hell, he’s there already.
One of my favorite Robert Redford movies (and I like almost everything I’ve seen him in). Some great Utah mountain scenery, too.

Luke: ...I’m looking for a great warrior.
Yoda: Ohhh. Great warrior.
[laughs and shakes his head]
Yoda: Wars not make one great.
Probably the best of the six Star Wars movies, although I really loved the way that “Jedi” tied up the first trilogy.
Yoda is my favorite character in the series.
