re: Your favorite obscure movie qoutes

“It’s not the years, it’s the mileage”

Indiana Jones, RotLA

I use this one all of the time.

Cracks me up

Great thread, hard to pin down just one quote though.

“You’re an interesting species.An interesting mix. You’re capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible nightmares“
- Contact

Not as light or campy as some of the others, but the first one that came to mind.

Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension - John Lithgow as Lord John Whorfin

"Laugh-a while you can, monkey boy"

“I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.”

I love Whit Stillman's early movies (probably the only one, which is why they're obscure)... Metropolitan, Barcelona...

This I always remembered...

Barcelona:

Fred: One of the things that keeps popping up is this about "subtext". Plays, novels, songs - they all have a "subtext". Which I take to mean a hidden message or import of some kind. So subtext we know. But what do you call the message or meaning that's right there on the surface, completely open and obvious? They never talk about that. What do you call what's above the subtext?

- Ted: The text.

- Fred: Ok, that's right, but they never talk about that.

Metropolitan:

Tom Townsend: You don't have to have read a book to have an opinion on it.

Glad you brought that movie up. Here's mine:

Enjoy your deserved upvote.

I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem *may* have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being *crushed* by a *dwarf*. Alright? That tended to understate the hugeness of the object.
