Interesting Movie Quotes

I admit that I am a sucker for Cameron Crowe’s Jerry Maguire. It may not be high brow cinema but I did enjoy the movie very much. It had, to my mind, the perfect blend of comedy and romance that called to me. I don’t like sappy movies but Jerry Maguire has just the right amount of sap to keep me entertained.

Jerry Maguire became very famous for two memorable lines – “You complete me” and “show me the money!” But for me, the line that I most often quote from the movie was the last line in the movie as said by Maguire’s former boss – “In life, I’ve failed as much as I’ve succeeded. But I love my life and I have my wife. I wish you my kind of success.”

“Gentlemen, You can’t fight in here, this is the war room” was a line from the movie that was timed for release during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, it was moved for release at a later date due to the apparent feelings people had about politics at the time. A Black Comedy that makes fun of the utter serious chain of events (any of which can become true) that can lead to the end of the world with all sides firing their Nukes in defense of the other. The Movie has a crazy general of an air force base who orders an attack on Russia by B-52 bombers carrying nuclear devices citing the apparent sabotage of Russian spies of the American lifestyle, injecting fluoride into the water system that he blames for his impotence. The aim was o lighten the mood of the ever tensioned times of the Cold War where everybody was at risk at the press of a button.

The hit is about the all women baseball league that was cooked up as a publicity stunt for the men fighting in the Second World War. The story begins with two sisters who both joined the All American Pro Girls Baseball League. When only one was selected, she refused to join if her sister wasn’t allowed to join too. The league was allowed for all the men were away and there was not much happening back home in the name of the great sport. The movie is a concoction of an all star cast with Tom Hanks as Jimmy Dugan, an alcoholic and the worst coach on the league. The famous line was spoken by Hank’s character during a game when they were down he tells one of the girls, Evelyn in frustration after she starts crying her eyes out, “Are you crying? Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There’s no crying, there’s no crying in Baseball!!!”. The cast is made up of Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O’Donnell and many more memorable women.

The film which reflects the days of the mob who ruled major cities has two struggling musicians who just happened to be witnesses to the St. Valentines Massacre. Upon realizing what they have just witnessed, they clamor to find a way to get out of the city without the mob seeing them for they were being hunted down. Their only escape as they found it was to join an all female band where they dress up as girls. In the process one member of the band falls in love with one of the women (who were dressed as women) and proposes to him, her, HIM. The man blurts out “Well, nobody’s perfect” as he’s told his love interest isn’t a lady but a man just like himself. The movie features Marilyn Monroe as Sugar a member of the all female band, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon played the two musicians. They said that in order to convince themselves that they looked female enough for the film, they went into women’s dressing rooms to use the mirrors and when none of the women inside reacted, they assured themselves they indeed looked the part.

Yes, even the laugh factories have their share of famous and interesting quotes like “Yeah Baby” and “Oh Behave!”, from Austin Powers. Forrest Gump produced ” Mama always said life is like a box of chocolates…”, in the film with the same name as the character played by Tom Hanks became a sort of expression for an innocent look at life from the view of a special person. A stint of comedy in the action thriller film Airplane has the quick-witted stewardess going on the intercom saying, ‘There’s no reason to be alarmed, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone here who knows how to fly a plane????”. Ace Ventura left us with, “If I’m not back in five minutes..Wait a little bit longer!!!”. Funny and hilarious they may be they do serve a purpose, to break the ice in an already hilarious film making it even more hilarious sending you crunching your stomach as it aches from laughing.

The 1989 film directed by Rob Reiner was a comedy romance drama that tells the story of two friends who make love sleep together. The question is will they feel the same way when they wake up? The movie stars Billy Crystal who plays Harry and Meg Ryan who plays Sally. The two friends have known each other for a long time and they have been steering away from sex due to fear of it breaking-up their long standing friendship. The cliché “I’ll be having what she’s having” comes when the two friends were at dinner discussing relationships when Sally says orgasms can be faked which she gladly demonstrates, an elderly lady(who was actually the director’s mother) upon witnessing the scene says the memorable quote.

The outline for Wall-E looks somewhat like this: “Disney and Pixar join forces for this computer-animated tale about a wide-eyed robot that travels to the deepest reaches of outer space in search of a newfound friend.” The year is 2700, and planet Earth has long been uninhabitable. For hundreds of years, WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the monotony of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth, and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humanity. When highly advanced search robot EVE makes friends with WALL-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there’s hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone in the world, WALL-E can’t stand the thought of losing the only friend he’s ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for.

This is the most excellent film of 2008 so far, and if Wall-E doesn’t get listed for Best Picture (not just the cheap cop-out Best Animated Picture) then I’m going to throw a total fit. This is a beautiful, smart, touching, hilarious and damn cute movie that I’m going to see at least 4 more times in the theatre. It is the best film Pixar has ever made in my opinion… and the most complete one too. I appreciated this movie.

Viktor Navorski: I’ve been waiting my whole life.

A movie about a man who was able to leave his country just a few hours before it went into war. Lucky? Not really. He has been held in at a terminal in the United States, not able to go out of its doors. Stuck for days and days inside the terminal, it has become his home, and the people who work and “live” there have become his friends. Tom Hanks shows remarkable and excellent acting (as always) as he does a film with a somewhat, distinct similarity with Forrest Gump. The simple storyline and plot holds much deeper meaning and would definitely bring you to happy tears towards the end.

You don’t just have the most incredible night of your life with a perfect stranger and leave it up to chance, do you?

Two total and complete strangers meet at the most unexpected time, moment and the wheels of fate start running from that point on. In the movie, Kate Beckinsale tries with all her might to push John Cusack away from her, thinking that if they were really meant to be, fate would find a way to get them together. Fate comes back each time, making them surer than ever that they really are destined to be with each other.

A very heart-warming movie, Serendipity will find its way into your heart and make you believe, that anything is possible if you let go of everything and just let it happen to you.

There is a sensitivity thing that some people have. I don’t have it. I don’t cry at movies, I don’t gush over babies, I don’t buy Christmas presents 5 months early, and I DON’T tell the guy who just ruined both our lives, ‘Oh, poor baby.’ But I do love you.

If you’re able to grab a copy of this film, you will see a catchy phrase out front – “Everybody loved him… everybody disappeared.” Tom Cruise plays Jerry Maguire, a sports agent whose so-called perfect world changes as he realizes he’d been doing things the wrong way. His philosophy changed, and so did everyone. Everyone who loved him left him. The very few who stuck with him (Renee Zellweger as Dorothy Boyd and Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Rod Tidwell) proved to be loyal and were Jerry’s saving grace. Jerry was able to stop doing what he’d always been doing and made a difference for himself and for the only athlete who stayed with him, Tidwell. A truly inspiring story, Jerry Maguire will captivate you and leave you talking about it for days.
