TOP FIVE MOVIE LINES:(Not of ‘all times’ or anything like that, but rather in my own particular and admittedly odd view of great 20th Century cee-nee-ma)

• “You keep using that word . . . I do not think it means what you think it means.”

(Mandy Patinkin in The Princess Bride)

• “You know, black and white would capture the moment so nicely”

(John Cusack in Sixteen Candles)

• “John Dillinger was killed behind that theater in a hail of FBI gunfire. You know who tipped them off? His F*****g girlfriend . . . all he wanted to do was go to the movies.

(John Cusack in High Fidelity)

• “He said to me: When you die, on your deathbed, you will receive . . . Total Consciousness. So I got that goin’ for me . . . which is nice.”

(Bill Murray in Caddy Shack)

• Rooster Cogburn: “I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned, or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience . . . which’ll it be? Ned Pepper: “I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man” Rooster Cogburn: “Fill your hands you sonofabitch!”

(John Wayne and Robert Duvall in “True Grit”)

“Cowardice … is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.”
