I personally love movies & watch between 10 and 30 a week. I really enjoy turning one on and sitting here at the bench & listen/watch it while I work on pens. As a result I've picked up a LOT of memorable quotes over the years & thought we could share some.

I just saw The Big Kahuna with Kevin Spacey & Danny Devito. In the last few minutes when Dannjy's Character is talking to 'Bob' he dropped a quote that I simply love & happen to believe is true.

"....I'm saying you've already done plenty of things to regret, you just don't know what they are. It's when you discover them, when you see the folly in something you've done, and you wish that you had it do over, but you know you can't, because it's too late. So you pick that thing up, and carry it with you to remind you that life goes on, the world will spin without you, you really don't matter in the end. Then you will gain character, because honesty will reach out from inside and tattoo itself across your face." Phil Cooper

Another from that film I enjoyed.

Bob Walker: ...Throw me in the water and see if I can swim?
Larry Mann: I think you're missing the point here Bob, we're about to throw you off a cliff and see if you can fly.

Dark Helmet: What the Hell am I looking at?! When does this happen in the movie?!
Col. Sandurz: Now! You're looking at "now," sir. Everything that happens now is happening "now."
Dark Helmet: What happened to "then?"
Col. Sandurz: We passed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Col. Sandurz: Just now. We're at now "now."
Dark Helmet: Go back to "then."
Col. Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Col. Sandurz: Now?!

Yogurt: Merchandising! Merchandising! Where the real money from the movie is made. Spaceballs: the T-shirt, Spaceballs: the coloring book, Spaceballs: the lunch box, Spaceballs: the breakfast cereal, Spaceballs: the flamethrower--the kids love this one

A short simple classic from Clint Eastwood (aka Harry Callaghan)
