[Parra]

Professor Terguson: I wasn't in a class room, hoping I was right, thinking about it. I was up to my knees in rice paddies, with guns that didn't work! Going in there, looking for Charlie, slugging it out with him; While PUSSIES like you were back here partying, putting headbands on, doing drugs, and listening to the GODDAMN BEATLE ALBUMS! OH! OH! OH!

From the movie Natural Born Killers

Wayne Gale: So tell me. How can you look at an ordinary person, an innocent guy with kids, and then shoot him to death? I mean, how can you bring yourself to do that?
Mickey: Innocent? Who-who's innocent, Wayne? Are you innocent?
Wayne Gale: I'm innocent? Yes, I am. Of murder? Definitely.
Mickey: It's just murder. All God's creatures do it. You look in the forests and you see species killing other species, our species killing all species including the forests, and we just call it industry, not murder. But I know a lot of people who deserve to die.
Wayne Gale: Why do they deserve to die?
Mickey: I believe they got something in their past, some sin, some awful secret thing. A lot of people walking around out there already dead. They just need to be put out of their misery. That's where I come in. Fate's messenger.

Two more actresses you should check out (their lives were a bit more normal though) are Jean Arthur and Barbara Stanwyck. I absolutely adore both of them and both are in a stack of great movies.

I love Barbara Stanwyck, along with Bette Davis they are my favourite actress's from that golden era of Hollywood.
The great thing about Barbara , she could do evil, comedy and sympathetic equally well .
The two things i like about Bette and Barbara, they could act without saying a word, just one look or facial expression could steal a scene.

No Man Of Her Own is my favourite Barbara Stanwyck movie and always love watching Titanic too, so many great movies and of course there was The Big Valley later on.

I'm a big Frank Capra fan so for me It's Meet John Doe, although it's tough to go past Double Indemnity as well.

I have a bit of a tradition where i watch Christmas In Connecticut on Christmas Eve, love that movie.

He gets the *best* of the bull! *Hook* to the left! *Hook* to the side! If the bull rider is in *danger*, he's gotta protect him! Even if it means gettin' his *ribs* pulled out and bein' freight-trained."
Harry Monroe: "Freight-trained!"
Blade: "That's right. Run over, just like a freight train, only with a *bull*, it's worse! Cause a freight train don't back up and finish the job. Later on I'll show you the proper way to lie on the stretcher when they come to pick you up."

Blade: "Now, let me explain to you about bulls, okay? A bull is the most evil, disgusting, and crafty sucka in the world. He'll snot on you, fart on you, do anything he can, to mash out your brain. The worst kind of bull, is the one that won't do nothin'. Just stand there. Look at you! That means he's studyin' you. Soakin' up your weak spots and rememberin' 'em for the time he gets to prance on your head."

[Parra]

"Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game; if we played them ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.

You were born to be hockey players—every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!"
