Almost every line is a classic, but they are not appropriate for this board. Kevin Smith made that movie for $27,000, and its a classic (and I know Bill is going to delete this thread-we are way off topic). |

Julie, I'm a movie junkie and have over 300 movies on DVD, but you are getting too esoteric in your pics even for me. I have no clue what movies those are. I am not exactly into mainstream movies. Lee will vouch for that. |

Barely 24 hours after this is posted, and there are 60 responses as to what you do for a living. When do you guys actually earn your living?????? I too am a lawyer - specializing in financing matters in the NY area. I usually tell people that I specialize in structuring long-term investments in countries nobody wants to visit for more than 5 minutes - that cuts the conversation short. |

Actually, Hal is the original culprit in the hijacking of this thread. Julie, don't take offense to my comment, it just means that if can stump me on the movies, then have almost zero chance of anyone else on this board recognizing them. I've probably seen thousand movies or more in my lifetime and I've heard of a few of them on your list, but never seen them. |

A thousand? I've easily seen three thousand movies. I keep a ranked list of my top 500. Wings of Desire, by the way, is on there, although I confess I couldn't place the quote. Anyone seen Eight Men Out? (I'm trying to steer us back to vintage baseball. Should I start a new thread where we can debate the merits of Eight Men Out and Cobb?) |

I have seen 4 out of Julie's 5 movies. My two favorites were "Wings of Desire" (Wim Wenders, 1987) and "Les Invasions Barbares". Jay, you'll have to relinquish your self-proclaimed title of film expert until you've seen "Wings of Desire"....truly a great film. There was an American remake in 1998 called "City of Angels" starring Nick Cage and Meg Ryan - I'm sure you've seen that one, Jay. |

I'm a movie freak too. How many out there can say they've seen all of the extant silent movies of Greta Garbo? I think I've seen them all. But I prefer off beat cult classics, like "Performance", "O Lucky Man", "Pulp Fiction", etc. But we're off topic again and Bill is going to pull the plug. |

Glenn: In "Wings of Desire," Peter Falk (playing himself) is taking a walk in Berlin, and sees a derelict train station. He's remembereing his (German, I guess), grandmother talking about a train station, the big one, "Not the one where all the trains stop, but the one where all the stations stop." |

The pig man scene is one of the most horrifying things I've seen on film, because they made it seem so real. Did you know that Alan Price, who played piano and wrote the music for the film, was the original organist for the Animals, and played all the great organ on "House of the Rising Sun" |

It's possible seen far more than 1000 movies. I erred ont he side of conservative. A number of movies I've seen an insane number of times like Rocky Horror Picture Show (301 times), Star Wars (several hundred times) and Pulp Fiction, Fight Club and Snatch are right up there too. Moulin Rouge also gets a lot of play just for background music. |

Brazil is a great movie. I love Terry Gilliam's work. I am lucky enough to own the Criterian Edition on DVD. Last I heard, it's going for over $200 now. For those that aren't into DVDs, it's always worth picking up Criterian Editions of DVDs, they have great resale value. |

Rhys, they are DVDs with a silver band at the top of the box that Criterian Edition. It's pretty hard to miss. Mostly from Paramount and MGM. They have lots of special features and a very high quality picture transfer. If you are a movie buff, you will notice the difference. |

Speaking of Heidi Lamar, did you know that she actually was issued a patent on a secure radio trnsmission scheme where the source and receiver hopped frequency on a pre-determined pattern. This was in the early 40's. You gotta love the history of technology. |

It is MENTIONED by Watson as a tale "the world is not yet ready for," in one of the Sherlock Holmes stories..naw, I don't know which one. The Firesign Theater put out an album by that name in 1974 (I think they were a quite good comedy group), and a man wrote a not-so-hot novel called "Sherlock Holmes and the Giant Rat of Sumatra" fairly recently.. |

and "compassion." I wondered if you agreed with it. The Thunderbolt reprents "skillful means" in the hands of a monk, priest or lama, but "campassion" in the hands of a bodhisattva. |
