Glengarry Glen Ross speech - YouTube (http://youtu.be/8kZg_ALxEz0)

This clip may be offensive to some ( bad language )

This is my all time favorite clip, it may have something to do with me being in sales.

That's too hard for me. It might hinge on time you've had to enjoy movies. When my Dad wasn't out to sea we would go to drives ins a bunch. Base theatre was a dime to get in. Because of the passing of Harold Ramis we slip in the DVD and watched "Stripes" last night. Some movies have too many quotes. I can't narrow it down.

Without even watching the clip, I know what you mean.
The "problem" today is that the real life versions of Alec Baldwin wannabees don't know a sale (or their ass) from a hole in the ground or ass droppings from Shinola. =)

btw: that isn't my "favorite" movie clip . . . yet it's in the top five.

Hate to admit it . . . Yet this one is in the Top Ten

then there are all those excerpts from Animal House and Mel Brooks and Christopher Guest Epics . . . =)

This may be my all-time favorite scene. I reserve the option to change my mind though. :)

Most Clint Eastwood films don't involve stuff worth remembering.
THAT one made up for all the rest of them.
It's in my Top 2.

I don't know if I have a single favorite so I might have to break my down by emotion. If I want something to bring me to tears it might be this one because I always get misty eyed when I watch it.

One of my favorites is from a movie I'm loathe to admit I like: The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonsai Across the Eighth Dimension.

I have to admit that, except for the unsafe use of firearms in a public place, I thought that was a very interesting clip.
Is the name of the film from which it is extracted, "They Live"? (there's no way that I would even be aware of it if it is =)

It reminded me of that bank robbery scene in the Woody Allen Klassic: "Take the Money and Run".
Specifically, the one in which he handed the teller a note and she couldn't tell if it said "Gub" or "Gun".
Hilarity ensued.

This one ends before the punch line: "Seeing Free Men Makes Them Dangerous" (paraphrase)

Yet it remains a favorite. =)

In reviewing, considering, (and laughing or at least chuckling) at all (or some) of these memories (while a first attempt at a new recipe is working on the stovetop, here and now, in reality) I remembered my favorite scene from (i.m.h.o.) The Most Effective, Encouraging and Edifying Use of Film Ever Made:

(I guess that makes me a "multi-tasker" =)

I might be wrong, yet I have a feeling Post #23 was a jape at Jimmy Carter. =)
However: The Monty Python Version of The Saga of King Arthur and His Nights in White Sateen involved a Penrose Tiled Table rather than a Round One. =)

Yep, that is from John Carpenter's film They Live (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live)

Wasn't John Carpenter the same guy who did the excellent remake of that old, formerly lame version of "The Thing" starring Matt "James Arness" Dillon? (it didn't have any "favorite" clips/moments in it . . . yet it was OK.=)

I will say this: I guess I've known John Carpenter . . . and he ain't no Steven Spielberg (nor even John Huston). =)

Every time I hear The Cars' Moving In Stereo, it brings that scene back to mind. I think that song and scene is burned into the mind of every male teen of the '80's. ;)

This one might be at 1.25.
Yet I may be prejudiced, on account of the Elementary School I went to was half a block away from the REAL "Animal House" c. 1962.

I can one up you on that, RM. I lived in OU's version of Animal House when I was there in the late 60's. I could relate to most of that movie very well. :Smiley122
