What's Your Favorite Movie (and why)

[whadaboutluv]

^ How did Jack get so many memorable movie lines? It can't be that the writers of each script came up with all of them...Jack has to have someone that takes the script and comes up with his alternatives.

In as 'Good At it Gets' his character of Melvin Udall exemplifies some of Jack's best talents...his ability to offend, demean, intimidate, surprise, charm, and be philosophical. I love the line he gives to the Latino housekeeper...

Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

Loved the jazz music in the restaurant scene you showed above...Danielle Brisebois "My Only"



Haley could do an album like this (almost sounds like Haley in the song at times)...that would be as good as it gets! :hearts

Fun factoids: Danielle Brisbois, first, on Broadway in "Annie" as a young child; then on the TV show "Archie Bunker's Place" as a slightly older child, maybe Archie's niece?, then part of the group The New Radicals, who made one of my all time favorite CDs about 8-10 years ago. One of the best songs on the CD features Danielle. (Brother) You Just Can't Get Enough.

Never in my life have had "sweet" in front of my name. By the late 70's I had almost recovered from the late 60's...

^ LOL - "Sweet Cherelann" is what comes to mind when I think about you,

So was "I felt like I was in another dimension" a result of seeing Black Stallion, or was it a result of the 60's?

It does look like a movie I'd like and I've added it to the "must see" list
(along with about 6 others from this thread ).

And Buzz, thanks for the Anger Management vid. I forgot about that movie, but I loved it- Super funny! Of course it's hard to miss with Jack Nicholson in a comedy role. Also, Adam Sandler, even though I'm not a big fan, I have seen a few of his movies and loved them all (Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds and 50 First Dates). And your post also reminded me of a movie that is in the running for my all time favorite, "As Good as It Gets":

Melvin Udall's greatest hits from As Good as it Gets

And perhaps my favorite scene from a movie (for too many reasons to list):

As good as it Gets - Legendary Jack Nicholson

Sorry I'm late here, but I have to say I love this movie and this scene especially. God
what woman did not want to smack him after what he said to her in that restaurant! But, my tie-in to Haley here is, at the end, when he tells her how he watches her wait on people every day in the restaurant, and how he thinks to himself how those people don't get that they were just waited on by the greatest woman alive, and it makes him feel good about himself b/c he gets it...sorry, a little OOT here, but kind of says how it makes me feel good that I "get" Haley. Aw shucks...
