I'M JUST SO FASCINATED WITH QUOTES AND PUNCHLINES..THESE ARE TAKEN FROM MY FAVORITE MOVIES...Movies that I watch every now and then whenever I feel weary. It helps...with some chips, ice cream and tissues or a power pillow to hug...
So here's my list of MUST-SEE-MOVIES-BEFORE-YOU-DIE (English category and I have a Korean category soon to be published). I love movies a lot especially those with sad and bitter endings. For me, it's kinda realistic and lingering, it's a sign that's telling me that life is not a fairy tale. It is a must that I should watch one movie a day before I sleep, otherwise my day would not be complete. I put on my personal favorites and added their punchlines that I'm sure after watching the movie, you'll never forget that line ever again! ^_^ ----this means that you need to watch it now!!!!
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
I never knew that Pride and Prejudice was a good movie until I watched it last night. I have seen the book but I never paid attention to it probably because the cover of the book was not attractive (for me). I haven't read the synopsis even. Last week, in our conversation class, we asked the students what was their favorite movie and why it was their favorite movie. Matthew, our Korean student, answered that his favorite of all time was Pride and Prejudice. He had watched the movie for almost 20 times and have read the book over and over again. From that moment, I told myself I have to watch this movie, anyway it's one of the classic "must-seen" movies like Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, and what not. So, I told my brother to download this movie....and then there was it--that moment--I immediately fell in love with Mr. Darcy and I kept on rewinding the last part where he just appeared in the vast meadows before dawn .....sometimes I would just play it while I'm cooking or cleaning my room just to hear Mr. Darcy's voice....Kiera Knightley is not my favorite actress but after watching this, I might say that I love her and understood why Mr. Darcy love her as well.....^_^
Mr. Darcy: You must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
Mr. Darcy: Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you... I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony.
r. Darcy: I love you. Most ardently. Please do me the honor of accepting my hand.
Elizabeth Bennet: Sir, I appreciate the struggle you have been through, and I am very sorry to have caused you pain. Believe me, it was unconsciously done.
Mr. Darcy: Are you... are you laughing at me?
Elizabeth Bennet: I'm sure that the feelings which, as you've told me have hindered your regard, will help you in overcoming it.
Mr. Darcy: Might I ask why, with so little endeavor at civility, I am thus repulsed?
Elizabeth Bennet: And I might as well enquire why, with so evident a design of insulting me, you chose to tell me that you liked me against your better judgment.
BRIDGET JONES' DIARY (2001)
This is one of my best of the best of the best movies I've seen so far and I'd like to watch over and over again. I beginning to think if there would be someone as silly like her and someone like Mr. Darcy (again as Collin Firth also portrayed Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice the series). This is like a fairy tale story like one day nobody likes you then another day comes and two guys are fighting over you (wish I am Bridget). Sometimes when I watch her silly moves I feel embarrassed for her---- (I feel that I am in her place and I've done something silly that I can't undo anymore and so just have to face the consequences...hahahhaha). A love story that you would like to happen to you especially when you're the same age with 30 and doesn't have a true relationship who ends up with (lines of Bridget: Equally important: will find nice sensible boyfriend and stop forming
romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics,
sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional
fuckwits, or perverts. Will especially stop fantasizing about a
particular person who embodies all these things.)
Light, funny, romantic and will give you a doze of addiction to Mr. Darcy. ^_^
Mark Darcy:
I don't think you're an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the
ridiculous about you. Your mother's pretty interesting. And you really
are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let
whatever's in your head come out of your mouth without much
consideration of the consequences... But the thing is, um, what I'm
trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps
despite appearances, I like you, very much. Just as you are.
WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (1989)
I don't really want to watch it because of Billy Crystal, I don't like him to be the leading man of Meg Ryan (I love Meg Ryan a lot and all of her movies). For me a typical leading man should be good-looking but then I was wrong because as the story goes, you'll eventually love him and his character. The story was basically purely talking but then it has pure superb and power lines that will take your breath away especially the last part of the movie.
Harry: I love you.
Sally: How do you expect me to respond to this?
Harry: How about you love me, too?
Sally: How about, I'm leaving.
Harry: Doesn't what I said mean anything to you?
Sally: I'm sorry, Harry. I know it's New Year's Eve. I know you're feeling lonely, but you just can't show up here, tell me you love me, and expect that to make everything all right. It doesn't work this way.
Harry: Well, how does it work?
Sally: I don't know, but not this way.
Harry: How about this way? I love that you get cold when it's seventy-one degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're lookin' at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely. And it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
Sally: You see. That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you, and I hate you, Harry. I really hate you. I hate you.
SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE (1993)
OMG Tom Hanks! I always love his movies because he's really profound in portraying the character. He's like Adam Sandler that I can't get enough of though they might not be that good-looking but then the way they take you as if you're part of the movie. Anyway, I had the CD of this (we have lots esp when DVD's were not that "in" before), and it was just lying there when one day I don't have anything to do and finally decided to watch it. I would say that I hate myself for not watching it the whole time it was there! So far when your days are down and you feel you've lost love watch this and it will make you believe that love has its way of finding you again. ^_^
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Sam, do you think there's someone out there you could love as much as your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, Dr. Marcia Fieldstone, that's hard to imagine.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: What are you going to do?
Sam Baldwin: Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breath in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breath in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?
Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were suppose to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
ANNA AND THE KING (1999)
I really love this movie, and I can't tell how many times have I watched this one. I even know their dialogues word per word. I am really a fan of sad ending movies. In this movie, it took place when people were not yet open with the reality that two people of different race, culture and perhaps religion can be together. I should say that I could really relate to this movie. I thought that I could change something as well...but I can't even if I have already tried. Some events are inevitable. You just have to learn to let go and move on...If some good things never last, some doesn't even start. ^_^
Anna Leonowens: I would like to know why... , if science can unravel something as beautiful as music... , why it cannot posit a solution for a schoolteacher and a king.
King Mongkut: The manner in which people might understand such new possibilities is also process of evolution.
Anna Leonowens: Everything in Siam has it's own time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biYl_-_R3tI&feature=related
Tuptim: How did husband die?
Anna Leonowens: In my arms actually.
"It is always surprising how small a part of life is taken up by meaningful moments. Most often they are over before they start although they cast a light on the future and make the person who originated them unforgettable. Anna had shined such a light on Siam. "
P.S. I LOVE YOU (2007)
I didn't know about this movie until I was surfing on the internet and was looking for a nice movie to cry for and then I stumble upon this. First, I was unsure if I have to watch this since I cannot comprehend if Hilary Swank is fit in a love story plus with Greg Butler who I have seen and loved in the movie "300". How I love US movies and the way they transform one actor's role to another. But then, I was proved wrong. I cried a bucket of tears especially on the last part when she realized that she really needs to move on....*spoiler* can't say but I'm sure you won't regret this....just don't look on her face and think of the character instead. ^_^
CASABLANCA (1942)
Ok so this is one of the most talked about movie. I've decided to watch it because they told me how super the acting of Humphrey Boghart was portrayed. I hate the girl..but then she's beautiful so you won't hate her. Unfortunately, I watched it in black and white so maybe I was not moved so much but then after watching it the second time around, I fell in love with him as well. A movie that you need to watch otherwise you'd be left behind when people talk about movies...you'd end up like me. =)
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."
Ilsa: You're saying this only to make me go.
Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you.
Rick: And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.
[Ilsa lowers her head and begins to cry]
[Rick gently places his hand under her chin and raises it so their eyes meet]
Rick: Here's looking at you kid.
10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU (1999)
Just one of my teeny bopper movies. This is the movie that I fell in love with Keath Ledger...especially the famous "Can't-take-my-eyes-off-you" song wishing that someone would do exactly the same thing at school hehehehe not a particular favorite but it's alright to watch.
Kat Stratford: I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.
I hate it, I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
(Keath singing Can't Take My Eyes Off You)
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING(1995)
After watching this, especially when you're alone, you would want to be part of their family, one of those movies that I love to watch again. ^_^
Lucy: Peter once asked me when I fell in love with Jack. And I told him, "It was while you were sleeping."
Lucy: Do you believe in love at first sight? Nah, I betcha don't, you're probably too sensible for that. Or have you ever, like, seen somebody? And you knew that, if only that person *really* knew you, they would, well, they would of course dump the perfect model that they were with, and realize that YOU were the one that they wanted to, just, grow old with. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you haven't even talked to? Have you ever been so alone you spend the night confusing a man in a coma?
PATCH ADAMS
What can I say about Robin Williams, I must have adored all of his movie from Dead Poet Society, to What Dreams May Come, Mrs. Doubtfire....a true story (I wonder if the true Patch Adams is the same as what was portrayed in the film) shows how emotions are far more powerful than intellect alone. One fo my personal favorites that you would not get tired of watching. Hilarious with a lot of moral lesson. ^_^
I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride.
I love you because I know no other way then this.
So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand.
So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep.
(excerpt from Pablo Neruda's sonnet)
Hunter Patch Adams: [Patch stands on a cliff, contemplating suicide] So what now, huh? What do you want from me? Yea, I could do it. We both know you wouldn't stop me. So answer me, please. Tell me what you're doing. Okay, let's look at the logic. You create man. Man suffers enormous amounts of pain. Man dies. Maybe you should have had just a few more brainstorming sessions prior to creation. You rested on the seventh day, maybe you should have spent that day on compassion.
[a rock tumbles down the cliff]
[he walks away]
Hunter Patch Adams: All of life is a coming home. Salesmen, secretaries, coal miners, beekeepers, sword swallowers, all of us. All the restless hearts of the world, all trying to find a way home. It's hard to describe what I felt like then. Picture yourself walking for days in the driving snow; you don't even know you're walking in circles. The heaviness of your legs in the drifts, your shouts disappearing into the wind. How small you can feel, and how far away home can be. Home. The dictionary defines it as both a place of origin and a goal or destination. And the storm? The storm was all in my mind. Or as the poet Dante put it: In the middle of the journey of my life, I found myself in a dark wood, for I had lost the right path. Eventually I would find the right path, but in the most unlikely place.
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S
Aside from loving her outfit (all black), this movie would want you to visit the tiffany's as well.
I truly adore George Peppard in this film and how he was very patient about her. I love the last part more when it all made sense as to why she keeps on dating rich guys....you need to watch this as it a true classic - one of the best Audrey Hepburn movies.
Paul Varjak: So what? So plenty! I love you. You belong to me.
Paul Varjak: I don't want to put you in a cage. I want to love you.
Holly Golightly: I'm not Holly. I'm not Lula Mae, either. I don't know who I am! I'm like cat here, a couple of no-name slobs. We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.
Paul Varjak: You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.
[takes out the ring and throws it in Holly's lap]
Paul Varjak: Here. I've been carrying this thing around for months. I don't want it anymore.
Definitely, Maybe (2008)
My sister just told me that this movie is really nice. I told her that I hate Isla Fischer, I don't like the way she acts then she said that in this movie ---"you'll love her" and I did. A must see movie for people who are waiting for the perfect guy or girl but the question is.....is there a perfect or right person or it's just the perfect timing? This movie is quite in touch with reality because it shows that people fall in love and get hurt. Guys get hurt as well, and the main reality that all marriages dissolves. Also, not all love stories are with happy ending, but in the end of all the adversity, somewhere in time you'll find your right match. It's just we are so hasty to fall in love and to commit with someone else because we think that it is the right thing to do when in fact it's not yet the right course of time. ^_^
April: Oooh? What are you gonna say?
Will Hayes: I'm still working on it I don't know
April: OH! You should work it on with me you should practice with me; I'm really good at that.
[Walks over to the railing]
April: I'll be Emily.
April: I'm Emily your college sweetheart is there something you wanted to ask me?
Will Hayes: Emily...
April: Wait! You gotta get down on your knee
Will Hayes: No I'm not getting down on my knee
April: [Walks towards Will] She'll like it; she'll like seeing you down on your knee...
Will Hayes: I'm not getting down on my knee
April: [Rolls her eyes and walks back to the railing and turns around] Such a mistake! Okay
Will Hayes: Emily...
April: Yes William?
Will Hayes: Don't make me laugh! Emily Will you... um... marry me?
April: No
Will Hayes: Oh my god...
April: What do you mean, 'Will you, um, marry me?' I haven't seen you in weeks! You don't look happy or excited about the prospect of our marriage! You're asking me to give up my - my freedom, my joie de vivre for an institution that fails as often as it succeeds? And why should I marry you anyway? I mean, why do you wanna marry me? Besides some bourgeois desire to fulfil an ideal that society embeds in us from an early age to promote a consumer capitalist agenda?
Will Hayes: Oh! Oh, my God.
April: You should've got on your knee.
Will Hayes: Just shut up! Here... I wanna marry you because you're the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight. Because the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn't imagine not being able to hold them. But mainly, when you love someone as much as I love you, getting married is the only thing left to do. So, will you, um, marry me?
April: Definitely. Maybe.
WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN (1994)
Last night I couldn't sleep and I was thinking to sleep late because its weekend by the way, so I've decided to look for a nice film to watch. I have this on my computer for a long time, I've heard great reviews about this movie but I didn't have the urge to watch it since I don't really like Andy Garcia so much though I love Meg Ryan of course, no doubt about it. I played it and was looking into the movement of the story. I was a bit agitated to the flow of the story where the climax would be or what kind of conflict are they going to face. As I was looking into the characters, I saw how truly amazing husband Andy Garcia is in this movie! I wish men, with that kind of look, would be available in this era! I hate Meg here - and I think this is a movie that depicts a true life incident, what I mean is that this movie could happen in real life setting. You would hate her here but then you would picture yourself and see for yourself how complicated women are even there's nothing complicated in the first place and you would understand how men think and why they act like that. I love this film, I would definitely recommend it especially to couples who are in the brink of losing their marriage. I love ANDY GARCIA!!!!!
Here's a quote from my favorite part where she tries to act like she's hurting when in fact he's trying to help her.
Alice Green:
No Michael, we're supposed to try to be real. And when you feel alone, you are not together, and that is real.
Alice Green:
Fuck that! Fuck making it better. It's not getting better! I don't know
how to make it better and I swear to God you don't either!
Alice Green:
I think I could love you again if you could, for once, say 'I don't know.'
Michael Green: I don't know.
Come on, let's be real. You're clean. You stay hopeless and confused.
Keep polishing those skills. And I'll take the heat. 'Cause I got some
needs of my own. When I touch my wife, I like it better if her skin
doesn't crawl.
[Alice tries to interrupt]
Michael Green:
. My wife hurts. I need to be able to say 'What's wrong, honey? Something I can do? And I love you. So fuck me.'
