Five Great Quotes from Five Great Movies

5. "High Fidelity" (1999) Starring John Cusack (Rob) and Jack Black (Barry) as record store owner and employee, respectively.
This is the movie that has provided the lovely topic of my blog: Top Fives

Rob: Just c'mon. What would it mean to you, that sentence - "I haven't seen Evil Dead II, yet"?
Barry: Well, to me it would mean you were a liar. You've seen it twice: once with Laura - Oops! - and once with me and Dick, remember? We had that conversation about the guy making Beretta shotgun ammunition offscreen in the 14th century.

4. "Seven Psychopaths" (2012) Starring Christopher Walken (Hans) and Sam Rockwell (Billy) as dog-nappers.

Hans: An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, I believe that wholeheartedly.
Billy: No it doesn't. There'll be one guy left with one eye. How's the last blind guy gonna take out the eye of the last guy left, who's still got one eye! All that guy has to do is run away and hide behind a bush. Gandhi was wrong, it's just that nobody's got the balls to come right out and say it.

3. "Help!" (1965) Starring The Beatles (as themselves) and Victor Spinetti as Professor Foot, a mad scientist.

Professor Foot: With a ring like that I could - dare I say it? - rule the world.

2. "Lost in Austen" (2008) Starring Jemima Rooper (Amanda) and Tom Riley (Wickham) as two outsiders in Regency England.

Mr. Wickham: Miss Price, I fear that your life with Mr. Collins may be short of gaeity. If you find yourself nonplussed by the anticipated pleasures of married life, call upon me and I shall redress the deficit.
Amanda Price: Full marks for trying, George, but I wouldn't have my deficit redressed by you if you were the last man on earth.


1. "In Bruges" (2008) Starring Colin Farrel (Ray) and Brendan Gleeson (Ken) as hit men in Bruges, Belgium.

Ken: Coming up?
Ray: What's up there?
Ken: The view.
Ray: The view of what? The view of down here? I can see that down here.
Ken: Ray, you are about the worst tourist in the whole world.
Ray: Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.
