"Every man dies, not every man really lives" - Mel Gibson as William Wallace in Braveheart

 

"In this lifetime, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody but yourself, and after what you've gone thru, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna' never happen" - Charles S. Dutton as Fortune in Rudy

 

 

"The Lord tells me he can get get me out of this... But he's pretty sure you're (expletive deleted)"

 

"You're 5 foot nuthin', a hundred and nuthin', and you don't have a scrap of athletic talent in you!"  Rudy is a great football movie!  Pain and suffering, for a moment of fun and potential glory.  It's the reason we all love sports.

Forgot about this quote till just now, I had to copy and paste this...  It was something I always loved about this coach when I was playing ball in highschool:

 

You know, in the ten years that I coached, I never met anybody who wanted to win as badly as I did. I'd do anything I had to do to increase my advantage. Anybody who tried to block the pursuit of that advantage, I'd just push 'em out of the way. Didn't matter who they were, or what they were doing. But that was then. You have special talent, a gift. Not the school's, not the townspeople, not the team's, not Myra Fleener's, not mine. It's yours, to do with what you choose. Because that's what I believe, I can tell you this: I don't care if you play on the team or not.

Probably Hackman's finest role.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

"Quite an experience to live in fear isn't it?... that's what it is to be a slave" -  Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Bladerunner

 

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, attack ships on fire off the shore of Orion, I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the tanheauser gates, all those moments will be lost.. in time...like...tears...in rain. Time...to die." - Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Bladerunner

 

Bladerunner is probably one of my favorite movies of all-time. If not, my favorite movie period. Mostly due to the last few scenes in the film. Even as a kid it was quite intriguing because here it is, you've got Rutger's character chasing after Harrison's character like a mad dog that got off his leash, he hunts him down to the rooftop, and at this point, Deckard (Harrison's character) is scared beyond belief, he fears his impending death that he literally attempts to make an impossible jump from one rooftop to the next. And as he attempts this jump, he falls short, and is holding on for dear life, and at the very last minute, Roy (Rutger's character) knowing that he's running out of time by his own right, decides to show humility, and shows a human emotion to perserve life, he spares Deckard, and delivers those few sentences masterfully. It's one of the coolest moments I have ever seen in any movie. And it will always stand out to me like a sore thumb.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."
