[WHAT WAS THE MOST PERFECT ENDING IN MOVIES?]

Electraglide in Blue and Terry Kath's song Tell Me

 

In my view not a perfect movie but certainly an ending to remember.

[Your favorite movie quote to end any conversation.]

Well I'm surprised your personal favorite isn't 'time to die' from Blade Runner.

 

Anyhow,  mine is listed as part of my profile;   Nothing is as bad as someything that is NOT so bad.   

 

I use this anytime someone is asked 'do you like that?' or 'is that good?',  and they reply 'it isn't bad'.     

I love the quote from Dr. Strangelove because of the absurdity of the statement.  To me it's the perfect ending to the movie that also has such delightful lines as; "You'll have to answer to the Cocoa Cola Company" and "Gentlemen.  You can't fight in here.  This is the war room."

[Your favorite movie quote to end any conversation.]

I grew up as a kid in the South in the 1940s and 50s, hearing severl common quotes from GONE WITH THE WIND that had become part of our vocabulary.

 

Such as:

 

I don't know nuthin about birthin no babies.

 

You aren't worth $300

 

You know a dyed haired woman??

 

Don't eat so fast, you don't want it to come right back up.

 

After all... tomorrow is.. another day.

What is the genesis of "You know a died haired woman"?  How was it used? Was it supposed to be a catty comment?  I like that it appears to be obscure.

My personal favorite…."Mr. President…we must not allow a mineshaft gap".  

[Movies that you'd like to see remade? (I know...blasphemy!)]

I think there are a 1000 "modern" movies that should be remade as SILENT FILMS since actual good intelligent dialogue and thoughtful plots are so often lacking today.  Keep the wondrous and visually splendid FX and just remake them SILENT with an occasional subtitle as so often there is nothing worth listening to anyway except sometimes the music.  For every good "modern" movie there seem to be 3-4 not-worth-hearing-anyway movies: SILENCE IS GOLDEN applies.

Yet there are some movies that would be just as good silent.  Beautiful movies i.e.; Out of Africa, 2001 a Space Odyssey, Curse of the Golden Flower, Dances with Wolves, I would enjoy these with or without sound.  Or...great movies with just music.  2001 "Blue Danube", intro to Dr. Strangelove "Try a Little Tenderness" and the exit music "We'll Meet Again", The Hunt for Red October "Red Army Choir"…. to name a few.
