yeh ive seen that film mrs t,and youve qouted it perfectly
he wasnt messing about was auld liam/brian was he?Just to lower the tone . . . . .
. . . . Mel Brook’s Masterpiece Blazing Saddles – I can speak along every line, sing every song and laugh at every joke before it comes . . . . . . you’d have to love either me or the film deeply to survive.
Oh and the Blues Brothers – John Belushi making googly eyes at Fisher in the storm drain has me hooting every time. The SWAT team “Hup! Hup! Hup!” ing their way up to the Cook County assessor’s office. and the car crashes – even now I know they’re coming (and I know every one of them) they still leave me open-mouthed.
What’s incredible watching it now is how slow its pace seems in comparison to recent action films.
thing is about blazing saddles is everybody always seems to remember the campfire scene where they are all eating beans.

People were talking about that before it even got released. Personally, I think remembering a bunch of blokes’ arses before remembering Lili Von Schtupp is just too Freudian for Words . . . .

All the indiana jones r just some of my faves ive been watchin lately

Marley and me
John Grogan: A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn’t care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he’ll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?
John Grogan: [To Marley] You know how we’re always saying what a pain you are, you’re the world’s worst dog, don’t believe it, don’t believe it for one minute because you know we couldn’t find a better dog, I love you, more than anything, you’re a great dog, I love you.
Some brilliant choices there people 8)
I remember when we got our first video recorder in the early 1980s.. a massive, chunky, big behemoth bastard of a toploader thing made by Ferguson I think. It quickly became the altar of all things watchable in our cramped household.
BLAZING SADDLES and THE QUIET MAN were the two staple VHS diets.
Both these classics have endured quite a bit of revisionist negativity from the handwringing sects of present day politicos, but (in the case of the former) the sheer outrageousness and (with regard to the latter) simple sincerity of both these works makes them timeless.Mel Brooks’ scathingly brilliant pisstake on the Western is so full of relentless gems that it is hard to pull one from the mine, but Harvey Korman’s delicious turn as arch-schemer Hedley Lamarr is unforgettable…
“Men, you are about to embark on a great crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the west. Now you will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor”
As for John Ford’s 1952 masterpiece.. I totally agree with you, eve, when you say John Wayne deserved an Oscar. For behind all the fun and frolics was a subtlety rarely seen in his performances as the damaged and deep Trooper Thornton.
Barry Fitzgerald played the marvellous Michaleen Flynn btw, and revelled in it.
Yet again, too many quotes to muster, but this one springs to mind from “Red Will Danaher”..“He’ll regret it till his dying day, if ever he lives that long”
Here’s the full fight sequence…

But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you. . . . . .
Quote of the century for me.
During the riots last year, my daughter and her friends had to take refuge in one of their offices in London and I went to pick her up. Unfortunately when I said going to get her made me feel “like Liam fukin Neeson”, she just said, “not quite dad!”
Ha ha… made me laugh words…..what does she know!
Any fool can be a Father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy!!@jenndudess1 wrote:

Any fool can be a Father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy!!Even past 30 years old, She’s my li’l princess, the only person in the house who can touch my stuff without me complaining and get anything humanly possible she asks for. That she is actually a well-rounded person is tribute to my dumb luck and/or the skills of her mother.
