I love "The Quiet Man", too, but "The Searchers" is my favorite.

I've watched it over and over, but I still cry every time I see the scene where Martha puts little Debbie out the window to hide from the Comanches. The way she breaks down and throws herself across the window ledge after the little girl just breaks my heart. It's so real. I believe that really happened back in those times - brave women knowing they were facing death and having to look into their children's eyes and then send them off to hide, maybe to get a chance to live. That one movie seems to me to embody all the pioneer strength of the people who moved West.

On another note, I read an article one time, or heard on AMC or TCM, that the phrase "That'll be the day" sort of took America by storm after John Wayne said it in this movie, and that Buddy Holly actually wrote his song "That'll be the Day" because of it. Don't know if that's true - I just read it or heard it somewhere.

[Psalm 73]

"My quote...."

I gotta' tell ya' - I'm shocked (and disturbed) that I haven't seen even ONE "Caddyshack" quote.
"Smelding, this calls for the old 'Billy Baroo' - (oh, Billy, billy, billy)
"Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it...."

Egon: ...until d***less here shut off the power grid.
Mayor: Is this true?
Vankman: Yes, your honor, it's true. This man has no d***.

"BBBEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSS!!"

"Fat guy in a little coat, fat guy in a little coat..."

[namvetcav]

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I've entered attack ships off the shoulder of Orion. I've watch C-beams dance on the Tannhauser gate. Now all these moments will be lost in time, . . . like tears in the rain. Time to die.

[Thrusher]

“Those acts of God really stick it in and break it off, don't they?"

---

"I may be a bastard, but I'm not a f#$%ing bastard."

---

“Are you okay?”
“Peachy! Why shouldn't I be? The world's my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a wooden stake in my brother's heart because he turned into a vampire, even though I don't believe in vampires. Aside from that unfortunate business, everything's hunky-dory.”

---

“What, were they psychos?”
“Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a f#@k how crazy they are!”

---

“I'm not gonna drain you completely. You're gonna turn for me, you'll be my slave. You'll live for me. You'll eat bugs because I order it. Because I don't think you're worthy of human blood, you'll feed on the blood of stray dogs. You'll be my foot stool. And at my command, you'll lick the dog s#&t from my boot heel. Since you'll be my dog, your new name will be ‘Spot’. Welcome to slavery.”
“No thanks. I've already had a wife.”

"Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days' concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

Originally Slim Pickens said "Dallas" but it was changed on account of the Kennedy assassination.

Roger, Roger. We have clearance, Clarence. What's our vector, Victor?

[pgyanke]

Igor: Abby something.
Frankenstein: Abby something?
Igor: Abby... normal.

[buddyholly]

Of course I'm serious. And don't call me Shirley.

[Gumption]

"Cut the flabber jabber, grab some reading matter, play the juke."

"How many bullets are left in this gun Chino? Enough for you ... and you?

[thefactor]

I'm gonna go...check the specs on the...rotary girders, I'm retarded.

[Armedanddangerous]

Billy, have you ever seen a grown man naked?

[fawn796]

"I'm not a child."
"You're MY child."

"Someone back East is sayin, why don't he write?"

PS I remember reading that Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull financed the Python film. Who knows?

Actually, George Harrison was a backer of several Python projects
