  1. "Sorry we hurt your field, mister." -- George Harrison in "A Hard Day's Night" (1964), after a man scolds him and the other Beatles for romping on private property. This occurs after the first performance of "Can't Buy Me Love" in the movie.
  2. For the most part, I dislike Welles' fondness for fake noses onscreen, although I try not to be too hard on actors' personal choices. The worst nose? The one he wore as movie producer Max Buda in "The V.I.P.s" (1963). At the other end of the spectrum, Elizabeth Taylor's violet eyes are orbs of wonder in the trailer.
  3. "Broadsword calling Danny Boy..." -- British double agent Major John Smith (Richard Burton) urgently tries to contact headquarters in "Where Eagles Dare" (1969), while Lt. Morris Schaffer (Clint Eastwood), an American Army Ranger, holds off Nazi pursuers.
  4. "I have been, and always shall be, your friend." -- Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) to Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982).
  5. "Where's the rest of me?" -- Drake McHugh (Ronald Reagan) to his wife Randy (Ann Sheridan) in "Kings Row" (1942), after discovering that both of his legs have been amputated
  6. "Rock, someday when the team's up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, ask them to go in there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper. I don't know where I'll be then but I'll know about it, and I'll be happy." -- Doomed Notre Dame halfback George Gipp (Ronald Reagan) to Coach Knute Rockne (Pat O'Brien) in "Knute Rockne All American" (1940).

  9. "If you build it, he will come." -- The mysterious voice in the Iowa cornfield heard by Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) in "Field of Dreams" (1989).
  10. "The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again." -- Author Terence Mann (James Earl Jones) to Ray Kinsella (Costner) in "Field of Dreams" (1989).

  14. TCM On Demand for June 6, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 2. L.A. Confidential (1997) -- Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, James Cromwell, Kim Basinger, Danny De Vito, David Strathairn, Ron Rifkin, Graham Beckel, Amber Smith, John Mahon, Matt McCoy, Paul Guilfoyle, Paolo Seganti, Shawnee Free Jones, Darrell Sandeen, Elisabeth Granli, Sandra Taylor, Steve Rankin, Simon Baker (billed as Simon Baker Denny), Jim Metzler, Marisol Padilla Sánchez, Gwenda Deacon. Director Curtis Hanson's powerful crime drama, based on the 1990 novel by James Ellroy and set in early 1950s Los Angeles, was nominated for nine Academy Awards. It won only two -- Best Supporting Actress (Basinger) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Hanson and Brian Helgeland) -- at the 70th Oscars event dominated by "Titanic" on March 23, 1998. The film featured early appearances by Australian actors Crowe, Pearce and Baker. The movie's title brings to mind the notorious scandal magazine of the 1950s called Confidential. Not surprisingly, De Vito plays Sid Hudgens, the unscrupulous photographer and publisher of one such publication, titled "Hush-Hush." Expires June 12, 2015.
  15. TCM On Demand for June 6, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 3. The Maltese Falcon (1941) -- Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Gladys George, Peter Lorre, Barton MacLane, Lee Patrick, Sydney Greenstreet, Ward Bond, Jerome Cowan, Elisha Cook, Jr., James Burke, Murray Alper, John Hamilton. Uncredited: Walter Huston, Charles Drake, William Hopper. This third screen version of Dashiell Hammett's 1929 crime novel was an auspicious directorial debut for John Huston and the film that solidified Bogart's status as a cinematic superstar. The film received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Greenstreet, for his screen debut) and Best Writing, Screenplay (Huston). The story earlier was told onscreen in a 1931 version that starred Ricardo Cortez and Bebe Daniels. In 1936, a revised version titled "Satan Met a Lady" starred Bette Davis and Warren William. In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked this film No. 23 on its list of the 100 greatest movies of all time. When AFI updated the list in 2007, the film dropped eight notches to No. 31. In another AFI survey, a 2005 ranking of the greatest movie quotes of all time, Bogart's last line came in at No.14: Other memorable lines from the film: "You're good, you're very good." -- Spade to Shaughnessy. "When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it." -- Spade to Shaughnessy. "When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it." -- Spade to Joel Cairo “I hope they don't hang you, precious, by that sweet neck. . .The chances are you'll get off with life. That means if you're a good girl, you'll be out in 20 years. I'll be waiting for you. If they hang you, I'll always remember you.” -- Spade to Shaughnessy. Astor, who co-starred as femme fatale Brigid O'Shaughnessy, won the 1941 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. But it was for her performance in "The Great Lie" as Sandra Kovak, a vain concert pianist who has a romantic rivalry with Maggie Patterson (Bette Davis). Astor's reaction to the award? ''I would have preferred getting my Oscar for 'The Maltese Falcon,' " she wrote later. The late Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times added the film to his list of "Great Movies" and declared that the drama "stands as a great divide" He continued: "Consider what was true after its release in 1941 and was not true before: (1) The movie defined Humphrey Bogart's performances for the rest of his life; his hard-boiled Sam Spade rescued him from a decade of middling roles in B gangster movies and positioned him for 'Casablanca,' 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre,' 'The African Queen' and his other classics. (2) It was the first film directed by John Huston, who for more than 40 years would be a prolific maker of movies that were muscular, stylish and daring. (3) It contained the first screen appearance of Sydney Greenstreet, who went on, in 'Casablanca' and many other films, to become one of the most striking character actors in movie history. (4) It was the first pairing of Greenstreet and Peter Lorre, and so well did they work together that they made nine other movies, including 'Casablanca' in 1942 and 'The Mask of Dimitrios' (1944), in which they were not supporting actors but actually the stars. (5) And some film histories consider 'The Maltese Falcon' the first film noir. It put down the foundations for that native American genre of mean streets, knife-edged heroes, dark shadows and tough dames." Expires June 12, 2015.
  16. TCM On Demand for June 6, 2015 The following feature is now available on TCM On Demand for a limited time: 4.

Farrell MacDonald, Steven Geray, Victor Sen Yung, Reiko Sato, Syd Saylor, Tom Dillon. Uncredited; Sammee Tong. Directed by Norman Foster ("Journey into Fear," "Rachel and the Stranger"), this film noir effort revolves around Eleanor Johnson (Sheridan), a married woman who becomes enmeshed in intrigue when her husband Frank (Elliott) disappears. Frank became the star witness in a murder case when he witnessed an apparent mob-related shooting. When he apparently flees in fear of becoming a mob target, authorities contact Eleanor to see if she can provide clues to Frank's location. O'Keefe co-stars as Daniel Leggett, a newspaper reporter looking for an exclusive story. The film was based on the 1948 short story "Man on the Run" by Sylvia Tate. Foster co-wrote the screenplay adaptation with Alan Campbell. Future producer Ross Hunter ("Pillow Talk," "Airport") served as a dialogue director. Expires June 12, 2015.
