Re: Best and Worst Lines in Movie History

I have two favorites.

John Wayne: You'd be beautiful if your eyes were blue.
Patricia Neal: My eyes are blue.
John Wayne: I know.
(Not sure... think it's from Operation Pacific.)

Does this really need to be Identified?

"Hey, Boo."

Re: The Long Grey Line

When I was in junior high school, students who had perfect attendance for each semester were shown a movie in the cafeteria or gymnasium. Most of the movies were aimed at kids just entering their teens - like Jerry Lewis movies or Haley Mills movies. Fortunately, someone decided on showing The Long ...

Re: To Kill A Mockingbird

I just watched this on Netflix last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. I always list "Hey, Boo." as my favorite line from a movie. The dawning realization in Scout's face is one of the most magical moments of the entire movie.

Re: Game of Thrones

Just wondering if you've been following the new season of Game of Thrones, Lynn? Three episodes down and plenty of action.

Re: Gone With or Without fanfare

I remember Mike Wallace as the host and narrator of the original David Wolper Biography series from the early 60's. My history teacher during my sophomore year used these episodes to showcase the major movers in world history of the 20th century.

Re: What are you reading?

Thanks for responding, RedRiver. It came as a surprise to me, too. I read all of the Leatherstocking series in chronological order per Natty Bumppo's life and the forked tongue phrase didn't show up until this book that was published in 1827. The Deerslayer , which covered Bumppo's early life, was a...

Re: What are you reading?

I recently finished The Prairie - the last book of James Fennimore Cooper's Leatherstocking series. I was wondering if anyone knew if the dialogue he used for the plains indians - with phrases like "happy hunting ground" and "white man speaks with forked tongue" and "great w...

Re: Someone's having a birthday!

And thank you for being a good sport. But what about Dean Martin, Jonathan Winters and Paul Lynde? Oh, that's right. We've got a limit on the size of pictures we can post. My favorite Ohio reference is Doris Day in That Touch of Mink claiming to have been on the swim team in high school in Upper San...

Re: Someone's having a birthday!

Thanks, guys. Enjoying the day playing Words with Friends with my cousin and son-in-law. Noticed today that I share a birthday with the immortal Wayne Woodrow Hayes. If you live in central Ohio (got that Moira? jk), you couldn't pick a better one to share it with... and of course, there's Jack Benny...
