The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Hannibal Lecter's (Anthony Hopkins) mocking assessment of Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), after she gives him a questionnaire to answer: ("You're so-o ambitious, aren't you? You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube, with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desperately to she

Animal House (1978)

Bluto's (John Belushi) factually inaccurate motivational speech after the Delta House Fraternity has been closed: ("Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...What the f--k happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? 'Ooh, we're afraid to go with you, Bluto, we might get in trouble.' Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dea

Five Easy Pieces (1970) Diner Scene

Bobby Dupea's (Jack Nicholson) mad 'diner' tirade when ordering a plain omelette (with tomatoes instead of potatoes), a cup of coffee and a side order of wheat toast from a stubborn, live-by-the-rules waitress (Lorna Thayer) who won't allow substitutions: ("I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee... Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and

Cool Hand Luke (1967)

A moving character study of a non-conformist, anti-hero loner who bullheadedly resists authority and the Establishment. One of the film's posters carried a tagline related to the character's rebelliousness: "The man...and the motion picture that simply do not conform." With this vivid film, director Stuart Rosenberg made one of the key films of the 1960s, a decade in which protest against established powers was a key theme. One line of the film's dialogue from Strother Martin is often quoted: "What we have

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Admirable honesty. Sugar Kane's (Marilyn Monroe) 'fuzzy end of the lollipop' speech about bad luck, mostly with saxophone players: ("You fall for 'em. You really love 'em, you think 'This is going to be the biggest thing since the Graf Zeppelin.' The next thing you know...")

Rebel Without a Cause (1955)

A a film that sympathetically views rebellious, American, restless, misunderstood, middle-class youth. The tale of youthful defiance, which could have been exploitative - but wasn't, provides a rich, but stylized (and partly out-dated) look at the world of the conformist mid-1950s from the perspective of the main adolescent male character - a troubled teen with ineffectual parents, who faces a new school environment. The infamous "you're tearing me apart scene".

Ace in the Hole a.k.a. The Big Carnival (1951)

Classic scene from Ace In The Hole.. Even for Albuquerque, this is pretty Albuquerque.

Casablanca (1942)

The classic and much-loved romantic melodrama Casablanca (1942), always found on top-ten lists of films, is a masterful tale of two men vying for the same woman's love in a love triangle. The story of political and romantic espionage is set against the backdrop of the wartime conflict between democracy and totalitarianism. [The date given for the film is often given as either 1942 and 1943. That is because its limited premiere was in 1942, but the film did not play nationally, or in Los Angeles, until 1943.
