Gae Standard Userer	Is it Saddam Hussein in "Baghdad: The Downfall of a Dictator"? Gae NP The John Barry Collection (Disc 3 ) [Message edited by Gae on 04-05-2003]

Camillu Standard Userer	It's The Green Mile (spoken by Paul Edgecomb - the Tom Hanks character. If I remember correctly it's lifted straight from the book)

Dylan Standard Userer	Alright, take a crack at this one: "You shouldn't keep souvenirs of a killing. You shouldn't have been that sentimental." Dylan

Dylan Standard Userer	And here's the extra bonus question: "You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars next year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... 60 years." What a wonderful piece of dialogue...what great movie is this from? Dylan

James Standard Userer	Well, Dylan, the second one there is Citizen Kane. And although it turns out I knew the first one, I'm not going to say it because I had to cheat to make sure. I'll let someone who really knows it for certain give the answer. In the mean time, here's my contribution: "It's all logic and reason now. Science, progress... Laws of hydraulics, laws of social dynamics, laws of this, that and the other... No place for three-legged cyclopes from the South Seas... No place for cucumber trees, or oceans of wine... No place for me!" Kirk

Ace Standard Userer	If I'm not mistaken, I believe Dylan's first quote is from Vertigo. I've only seen the film once, but I recall Jimmy Stewart saying something like that.

James Standard Userer	Oh, COME ON, we're not going to let this thread die THAT quickly, are we? This one lasted for 6 months and 8 pages. We can do at least as good. Incidentally, no one ever guessed the two quotes I presented on that thread, so I'm re-posting them here: QUOTE #1: "Listen, zipper-puss, one day they're going to find your hair ribbon and an axe someplace. Nothing Else." QUOTE #2: ART FAN: "Your work is excellent, sir, but you must use color! Color is so much more... expressive." ARTIST: "Do you know what Michaelangelo said to the Pope when he complimented him on the Sistince Chapel ceiling? He said 'It was all in the drawing; the rest you coulda got by ****ing on it.'" I really hope somebody knows the second one, because I can't remember where it came from at all. Kirk NP - Violin Concerto no. 2 (Lee Holdridge)

James Standard Userer	And by the way, Ace, you were absolutely correct about Dylan's first quote!

perfpitch unregistered	How about... "Perfect freedom has no existence. The grown man knows the world he lives in -- and, for the present, the world is Rome" (You may substitute the word "America" for "Rome" to grasp the full implication of the dialogue's meaning). Truer words were never spoken. [Message edited by perfpitch on 04-15-2003]

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Just to try to keep this going (it does seem we all exhausted ourselves after that 8-page marathon all those years ago), I'll make a wild guess at perfpitch's quote and say... I don't know. I really don't. SPARTACUS maybe? Or something vaguely similar?
posted 04-26-2003 02:41 PM PT (US)

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Yes, must be Spartacus or Ben-Hur.
posted 04-26-2003 03:12 PM PT (US)

perfpitch unregistered	Interesting that you should narrow it down to SPARTACUS and BEN-HUR, Marian (it is, indeed, from the latter film, the scene in which Pontius Pilate advises Judah to abandon his pursuit of retribution against Rome for Messala's betrayal of him and his family), considering that the two movies are quite dissimilar in intent and theme, despite their superficial similarities.
posted 04-27-2003 12:30 AM PT (US)

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Yes, which is why from a logical standpoint, my guess would have been Spartacus, but I had a feeling that it should be Hur. Anyway, these were the only two movies I've seen which I could think of that could have a line like that.

perfpitch unregistered	Nevertheless, perfect freedom has no existence -- something I wish could be drummed into the heads of all the gun-nuts here in the U.S. regarding their shameful warping of the Constitution's Second Amendment to suit their own narrow ends (and it'll all of American society's end, too, in a different sense of the word)...

John Maher Standard Userer	Okay, I just started reading this thread. Isn't it Marian's turn?

perfpitch unregistered	What is this, a four-way intersection with no traffic light?

John Maher Standard Userer	Marian, that's way too easy for this De Palma fan - that's "Carlito's Way"!

Dana Wilcox Standard Userer	"Best thing for him, really. His therapy was going nowhere."

Lou Goldberg Standard Userer	Yikes! I've probably seen all these films and can't think where any of these lines come from. I didn't think this topic would be so hard. When do people give out the answers, my brain is reeling!

John Maher Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by Dana Wilcox: "Best thing for him, really. His therapy was going nowhere." I want to say that this is from "Manhunter", but, I know it isn't. I keep thinking it is, yet I can't picture the scene where it is said. It's driving me a bit crazy, though.
