"A crowd is easier to control than an individual. A crowd has a common purpose. The purpose of the individual is always in question."

"That's what you're trying to eliminate, isn't it? Everything that makes one human being different from another. But you'll never, never reach a man's soul through a lens."

"That rather depends on which end of the microscope you're on, doesn't it?"

~Dr Murnau (Ian Holm) and Franz Kafka (Jeremy Irons) in Kafka (1991)


Hmmm. Good quote. I did a search for a disc of this after watching a trailer, but only found expensive imports...

- Basil Rathbone slipping in a meaningful wartime speech at the end of Sherlock Holmes Faces Death (1943).

Sherlock Holmes: "...There's a new spirit abroad in the land., Watson. The old days of grab and greed are on their way out. We're beginning to think of what we 'owe' the other fellow, not just what we're compelled to give him. The time is coming, Watson, when we shant't be able to fill our bellies in comfort while other folk go hungry, or sleep in warm beds while others shiver in the cold. And we shan't be able to kneel and thank God for blessing us before our shining altars while men anywhere are kneeling in either physical or spiritual subjection."

Dr Watson : "...You may be right, Holmes... I hope you are."

Sherlock Holmes : "..And, God willing, we'll live to see that day, Watson..."

My favorite?

Almost the entire script of Mommie Dearest! There are too many wonderful pieces of dialogue to select any particular ones to mention. Those familiar with the movie will understand!

Who else on this forum can recite, off the top of their head, large chunks of dialogue from Mommie Dearest, even after 40 years?

Count me in. The film became an instant camp classic and Faye Dunaway gave an excellent performance. I've heard she refuses to discuss the film and thinks it seriously damaged her career. Of course my favorite dialogue is in her showdown scene with the Pepsi board of directors.

Another film I know almost by rote is VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.

LOIS: Do you like... pink?

SUPERMAN: I like pink very much, Lois.


Simple, but (almost) to the point and very flirtatious... for a comic book movie.

Radio Announcer: You're not supposed to say "Hell", either.
Henry Drummond: This is going to be a barren source of amusement!
