Best Lines From A Movie

From my feeds:-

drugs, rock-n-roll… chips, dips, chains, whips… You know, your basic high school orgy type of thing. I mean, uh, I’m not talking candlewax on the nipples, or witchcraft or anything like that, no, no, no. Just a couple of hundred kids running around in their underwear, acting like complete animals.

Sarah Hughes: Paul, it’s only a game!

Paul Ashworth: DON’T SAY THAT! Please! That is the worst, most stupid thing anyone could say! Cause it quite clearly isn’t ā€œonly a game.ā€ I mean if it was do you honestly think I’d care this much? Eh? Eighteen years! Eight-teen years! Do you know what you wanted eighteen years ago? Or ten? Or five? Did you want to be Head of Year at North London Comprehensive, I doubt it. I’d doubt if you wanted anything for that long. And if you had, and if you’d spent three months thinking that finally, FINALLY you were gonna get it and just when you think it’s there it’s taken away from you… I mean I don’t care what it is, a car, a job, an Oscar, the baby… then you’d understand how I was feeling tonight. But there isn’t, and you don’t, so…

Sarah Hughes: So, so what, so fuck off, go home, leave you alone? I’ll tell you something Paul, there isn’t anything that I’ve wanted for eighteen years, cause I was a kid eighteen years ago. And if I did still want the same things I’d think I’d gone wrong somewhere, because actually I don’t want to marry David Cassidy, I don’t want bigger tits, I don’t want to do better on my mock-Os. I’ve stopped worrying about that kind of thing and maybe you should try.

Paul Ashworth: Well maybe there’s a big bit of you that’s gone missing somewhere, maybe everyone should want something they’ve always wanted.

Why is it that adults aren’t supposed to go mad about anything? You gotta keep a lid on it. And if you don’t then people are apparently entitled to say what they like. ā€œYou haven’t grown up. You’re a moron. Your conversation is trivial and boorish. You can’t express your emotional needs. You can’t relate to your children.ā€ And you die, lonely and miserable. But you know, what the hell, every cloud has a silver lining.

Stanley Matthews was playing First Division football when he was fifty.
Paul Ashworth: I’ll bet you any money you like you’re not playing First Division football when you’re fifty.
Steve: [looks at his cigarette] Well, no. It’s the smoking.
Paul Ashworth: It’s NOT the smoking, Steve. It’s the crapness.

That’s not how the force works !

ā€œLord, you can imagine where it goes from hereā€

ā€œDon’t be fatuous, Jeffreyā€

I genuinely divide people into two groups; those who love The Big Lebowski (generally sound as fuck) and those who don’t (I’ve got my eye on you, buddy).

ā€œThat’ll be the dayā€ - John Wayne in The Searchers, which inspired Buddy Holly to write the song…

(might be repeating myself here!)

I show this film each year to my students leaving 6th form. It’s possibly the most worthwhile thing I can do with my last 2 hours of educating them.

This pleases me greatly. I was a little underwhelmed the first time I watched it because I’d heard so much about it, and on first viewing, its pace can break expectations. It did with me, anyway, although I knew I’d seen some very quality lines - it’s just a lot to process on first go.

The performances are intense. Characters overlap each other. Walter is just an asshole, who seems to be wrecking everything the Dude is trying to achieve, but with the exception of the burning question as to whether the Big Lebowski could walk, he was right about almost everything else.

Goodman’s finest ever performance, I reckon.

That is a beautiful film, in terms of the way it looks, sounds and rolls. I need to watch it more often. They really don’t do bad films. Occasionally, they’ll pop one out that isn’t my cup of tea, but I find something about each of them very memorable.
