I don't mind - I didn't have a quote ready anyway :D (jorencain might have had one though?)

The only film that keeps coming to mind reading BrianInAtlanta's new quote is Alphaville, but I'm sure that is wrong!

A new quote?

How about: "If we don't meet there is always the possibility it could have been perfect."

Slacker!

Okay, here's mine:

"Lock them out and bar the door. Lock them out forever more. Nook and cranny, window door. Seal them out forever more. Curse go back, curse go back. Back with double fear and flack. Curse go back, curse go back. Back with double pain and lack. Silver arrow through the night, silver arrow take thy flight. Silver arrow seek and find. Cursing heart and cursing mind."

That's from "The Fatal Glass of Beer" from the W.C. Fields disc.

Here's one: "'Nothing unusual,' he says! Eric's been blown to smithereens, Colin's been carved up, and I've got a bomb in me casino, and you say nothing unusual?"

That's Bergman's laugh-fest 'The Seventh Seal' isn't it?

This thread has been dead for while, so I thought I'd revive it with a super-easy quote (for anyone who's seen this movie)....it's now my favorite scene of all time, I think :)

Man 1: (singing) "His name was Robert Ford, that dirty rotten cow......" Is something wrong mister?

Man 2: I'm Robert Ford.
