I´ve had this quote from a movie flying around my head in the last days, mainly because my brother used it as a sample on his last album.
I wanted to use it as a signature but Wu only allows 250 characters --- so it was too long.
I like the quote anyway (probably because I´m getting old!), so I thought I´d post it and you guys can guess from which movie it is ==> WITHOUT using Google, else it`s way too easy.
If you know, please post a quote of your own for us to guess
"When you're young you've got time. You got nothing but time. Throw away a couple of years here, a couple of years there - it doesn't matter. You know the older you get, you say, Jesus, how much I got? I got 35 summers left. Think about it - 35 summers."

I may be wrong on this one, and it's been a long time since I've seen the movie, but I believe it's from "Rumble Fish".
Got a harder one for ya:
"You let her behind the curtain, I know you did. You never let them behind the curtain Will. You never let them see the little old man behind the curtain working the levers of the great and powerful OZ. They are all sisters Willie... they aren't allowed back there... they must'nt see."

LOL Sasha, I know that one's Arnold in Predator because I used to have a drummer who made a habit of reciting that particular quote at inopportune moments.

Hal, kinda curious if I got that one right or not.
Nobody cares to guess on the two quotes I posted? C'mon, there must be someone out there who knows at least one of them.

quote:Originally posted by IAmSpartachris: I like this thread. Bonus quote:
"That's fuckin' blasphemy. Elvis wasn't a Cajun."
Mustang Sally is one of my favourite swing movie songs. I saw it back 10 years ago in the UK when the film was first released. Therefore, I think it is bound to be .... the..... COMMITMENTS!

Well Done, it is indeed from The Commitments.

(ah, IamSpartachris was a few minutes faster than me --- only saw his post afterwards )
Yeah, Gimme, that was indeed "2001" by Stanley Kubrick.
Your quote is from The Usual Suspects --- I just watched it again a few weeks ago. Great movie! That quote has been used so many times --- I know at least two bands who have songs renamed after that quote.
Here`s another one, specially for Gimme because it involves video (easy!):
"It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it, right? And this bag was like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."
Ever since I saw the guy's compilation stack onto mini DV in his bedroom I ve always wanted to do this as well... and hell yes.... Video helps me remember too.. and I need to remember too!
