Fav Movie Quotes

John Waters is infinitely quotable, here's a few!

Desperate Living:

Peggy Gravel: Go home to your mother! Doesn't she ever watch you? Tell her this isn't some communist daycare center! Tell your mother I hate her! Tell your mother I hate you!

Female Trouble:

Dawn Davenport: I've DONE everything a mother can do: I've locked her in her room, I've beat her with the car aerial. Nothing changes her. It's HARD being a loving mother!

~~~

Gator: I'm straight, I mean I like a lot of queers but I don't dig their equipment, you know. I like women.
Aunt Ida: But you could change. Queers are just better. I'd be so proud if you was a fag and had a nice beautician boyfriend. I'd never have to worry.
Gator: You have nothing to worry about.

~~~

Wink: I'm getting a hard-on! Beauty always gives me a hard-on!
Donna Dasher: Aim it the other way then, Wink. You know how I detest organs. Beauty has absolutely nothing to do with that WORD, that THING you have hanging there like an obscene pickle. Spare me your anatomy.

Pink Flamingos:

Babs Johnson: Kill everyone now! Condone first degree murder! Advocate cannibalism! Eat shit! Filth is my politics! Filth is my life!

Serial Mom:

Beverly Sutphin: Are those pussywillows?
Rosemary Ackerman: Dried ones. Aren't they pretty?
Dottie Hinkle: What did you just say?
Beverly Sutphin: [in the stalker voice] Pussywillows, Dottie!

Pecker:

Tina: We're all famous- just like the Jackson family!
Jimmy: Don't say that, Tina.

I remember first hearing that at the end of Marilyn Manson's Portrait of an American Family album in my early teens and not having a clue where it was from. It was many years later that it finally clicked into place as Mink Stole let's loose at the beginning of Desperate Living. It's great when things like that happen.

That's exactly how I discovered it also!

Bit of a long exchange this, but one of my favs from El Dorado.

---------------------------------------------------

The scene is between the drunk sheriff JP Harrah (Robert Mitchum), Cole (John Wayne) and Mississippi (a young James Caan). A running joke through the film is that Mississippi meets the sheriff several times while he's drunk and the sheriff never recognises him. Anyhoo, Mitchum has just been shot in the leg and needs his trouser leg cut away.

Sheriff : "Does anyone have a knife..." trails away as Caan's character draws a big knife.

Sheriff pointing at Mississippi : "Just who are you anyway?"

Miss : "We met yesterday, last night and again this morning."

Sheriff to Cole "Who is he?"

Cole : "Tell him your name Mississippi".

Miss : "Alan Badillian Trahearn"

Sheriff : "Alan Badillian Tra-who?"

Cole: "Tra-hey"

Miss: "Trahearn!"

Sheriff to Cole : "No wonder he carries a knife."

There are some great dialogue scenes in westerns.

It's strange really, perhaps it's because they are deemed unfashionable, no one seems to watch them much.

I love em'. The location shot ones anyway, the cheap as chips, shot on sound stage ones are a bit throw away.

I've not seen a whole load of them, I guess I was never exposed to them as a child and as an adult I've not really explored the genre, probably due to being force fed The Searchers in A-Level Media studies which completely put me off. I have seen and loved Once Upon A Time in the West which i know is a revivalist Western from an Italian and I've seen A Fistful of Dollars too, again a Leone movie but outside of that I don't have much knowledge.

Scratching my head now wondering of there is a western thread. I'm sure there will be. I'll have to post about some classics there.

There is a 'Westerns And War' sub-forum, which contain 2 separate threads about 'Spaghetti Westerns', but that's about it!
