RichardP Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 [Ok, so I've been asleep at the switch again......the real clue would have been "...and they even used BonAmi..." Could it be the late Don Knotts from the "Ghost and Mr. Chicken"?] Indeed! TGAMC is arguably Don Knotts's best movie, and certainly my favorite. All lines occur at the community picnic in honor of Luther Beggs (Knotts), after his overnight stay in the haunted house. He is chatting up Alma, the wholesome hottie, and expresses surprise at the coincidence that both she and his mother "liked good food." Later he begins his "brave" speech, with extreme visible nervousness (Trivia: he created the nervous man as a recurring character in Steve Allen's Tonight Show "man in the street interview" sketches in the 1950s). The "Attaboy Luther" line also appeared in other scenes and even other movies. (More trivia: wholesome Alma is played by Joan Staley, who was the November 1958 Playboy centerfold). Amy, I can't believe you have not ever heard of this movie. Were you thinking of another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chops Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 "Ah, Bellamy, for cryin' out loud. That's the the stinking, most awful, stupid joke and you're always pullin' that stinking awful stupid joke. You don't want in this thing, you don't get in this thing. I cut you in on everything. I don't need you. Sixty feet of bridge I can get almost anywhere. Schmuck!"

sunburnwilly Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 That must be City Slickers (can't say whether 1 or 2). One it is! I must admit, I cheated and looked up yours online because it was driving me crazy. I won't say in case others might know, but I was glad to see I'd never even heard of the movie (and it wasn't just a failing memory!)... Looks like a good one, though! "Darling...light of my life...I'm not gonna hurt ya. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said I'm not gonna hurt ya. I'm just gonna bash your brains in." That would be "The Shining" How about "Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardP Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 [How about "Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase"] I can't place it, but it is very familiar. Can you give me a hint? Was the line actually spoken, or was it the speaker's thoughts being heard? I somehow think the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard , think about one of the most classic comedies of our time , maybe ever . And the line was the speakers thoughts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleR Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 How about: "I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead". Easy one. Did anyone answer this yet? I think this line was made famous by Sam Elliot, playing opposite Patrick Swazye in Roadhouse. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 "Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase" Raising Arizona A really great back and forth scene here...So what is the movie? Aw, man. You made friends with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong. Well, it was fun. They make you feel cool. And hey. I met you. You are not cool. I know. Even when I thought I was, I knew I wasn't. That's because we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we're smarter. I can really see that now. Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... and let's face it, you got a big head start. I'm glad you were home. I'm always home. I'm uncool. Me too! The only true currency in this bankrupt world if what we share with someone else when we're uncool.

Fast Times @ R.M. High - Way to go Cameron Crow What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable?

rplace Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Another line and a hint: Get your patchouli stink outta my store. "My Store" refers to the main characters record store.

Moderators Amy Posted June 26, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2006 Ah yes, I kept visualizing John Cusak...one of my all time favorite "line-deliverer" (is that a term?)....as in this line: "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, and I don't want to repair anything sold, bought or processed. You know, as a career I don't want to do that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
