Film Fantastic

One of the things I bond over the most with people are movies. Sometimes they are just one of the best passtimes to relate over.

It's one of the things my dad and I do all the time, watch movies.
We typically like the same stuff, so it's just another reason why we relate so well.

I like movies that tell a story, the type of story that makes you think. I'm not a big fan of movies that have no plot, or are all about the blood and gore. Nor am I a huge fan of those that focus on cheesy romance. I like origional stories.

I mean, I've said before that I like things that are unique, and I meant it.

Here are some of my favorite movie quotes.

"I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he'd say, "that's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too." That's the way romance is... Usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too."

-Alabama, True Romance

"People will look at the ashes of Westerburg and say, "Now there's a school that self-destructed, not because society didn't care, but because the school was society." Now that's deep."

-JD, Heathers


"Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.

I remember that speech really well.

I had you pegged, didn't I?

You had the whole human race pegged."

-Joel and Clementine, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

"I want you to take a chance, and trust me, and tell me what happened to you.

Okay. My family got shot down by D.E.A. officers because of a drug problem. I left with the greatest guy on earth. He was a hit man — the best in town. But he died this morning... and if you don't help me, I'll be dead by tonight."

Mathilda, The Professional

"Instead he just uses it as an excuse to put his testicles all over me!

Sorry, what?

Uh, how you say... octopus... testicles.

No, tentacles. N-T. There's a big Difference."

Monique and Lane, Better off Dead

"I just honestly don't know what I have in common with those people anymore... or with anyone, really. I mean, they'll all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they'll have made themselves a part of something, and they can talk about what they do. And what am I going to say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How have you been?" I just think it'll be depressing."

-Martin, Grosse Point Blank

"No one wants to die Harold, unfortunately we do. Harold, Harold listen to me. Harold, you will die, some day, some time; heart failure at the bank, choke on a mint. Some long drawn-out disease you've contracted on vacation, you will die. You will absolutely die. Even if you avoid this death, another will find you. And I guarantee, that it won't be nearly as poetic or as meaningful as what she's written. I'm sorry but it's...it's the nature of all tragedies Harold. The hero dies, and the story goes on forever."

-Professor Jules Hilbert, Stranger than Fiction

"Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The End."

-Christian, Moulin Rouge

"Yeah, you just take Soupy Sales to prom. I can think of so many cooler things to do that night. Like, you know what Bleek? I might pumice my feet, uh, I might go to Bren's dumb Unitarian Church, maybe get hit by a truck full of hot garbage juice, you know? 'Cause all those things would be exponentially cooler than going to prom with you!"

-Juno, Juno

"You are not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."

-Tyler Durden, Fight Club

"Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

Are you a crazy person?

I'm quite sure they will say so."

Evey and V, V for Vendetta

"The whole book's gender-biased. A woman's responsible for original sin. A woman cuts Samson's coif of power. A woman asks for the head of John the Baptist. Read that book again sometime. Women are painted as bigger antagonists than the Egyptians and Romans combined."

-Serendipity, Dogma

"There's only one reason Christian girls come down to the Planned Parenthood!

She's planting a pipe bomb!?

Well, two reasons.

With Dean? I think there's a better chance of that pipe bomb."

-Roland and Cassandra, Saved

"My name is Harvey Milk and I'm here to recruit you! I want to recruit you in the fight to preserve your democracy! My brothers and sisters you must come out! Come out to your parents, come out to your friends — if indeed they are your friends! Come out to your neighbors! Come out to your fellow workers! Once and for all, let's break down the myths and destroy the lies and distortions!"

-Harvey, Milk

"Was I ever crazy? Maybe. Or maybe life is... Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever. They we're not perfect, but they were my friends and by the '70s, most of them were out living lives. Some I've seen, some never again, but there isn't a day my heart doesn't find them."

-Susanna, Girl Interrpted

"Your brain is meat, and rots and disappears. Do you really think that's all there was to you? Like you're in your house right now. You're in your house, that doesn't mean you are your house. House falls down, you get out and walk away."

-Albert, What Dreams May Come

"Against my will I am sent to bid you come in to dinner;' there's a double meaning in that!"

-Benedick, Much Ado About Nothing
