Bogie has a better attitude in the finale of The Maltese Falcon. He doesn’t play the sap for femme fatale Astor.

I forgot about that. “We have a piper down...”

He was huge for a while, then just disappeared.

Cries himself to sleep every night on his gigantic pillah!

I actually used the line "Keith! Pants! Nah!" earlier today.

Actually probably one of my top 20 favorite movies of all time.

As a guy that’s probably the only rom com I could stand.

“Head...paper...nah!...”

The old man is definitely the best character.

Mrs. Thinking pulls the sister line on me the other day “Would you like some eggs, bacon, hash browns, fresh squeezed OJ, and some fresh brewed coffee? Yeah? Well, we don’t have any of that, here’s some cereal.”

LOL, I knew she was kidding when she asked, so I wasn’t too heartbroken. XD

Father of the Bride does feature really good performances by Steve Martin and Martin Short.

One of my favorite scenes: I'll tell you what I'm doing. I want to buy eight hot dogs and eight hot dog buns to go with them. But no one sells eight hot dog buns. They only sell twelve hot dog buns. So I end up paying for four buns I don't need. So I am removing the superfluous buns. Yeah. And you want to know why? Because some big-shot over at the wiener company got together with some big-shot over at the bun company and decided to rip off the American public. Because they think the American public is a bunch of trusting nit-wits who will pay for everything they don't need rather than make a stink. Well they're not ripping of this nitwit anymore because I'm not paying for one more thing I don't need. George Banks is saying NO!

All that happened after this is bun bakeries reducing the package to 8 buns, thus cutting the amount by 33% and dropping the price by 10%.

High Society with Frank and Bing and Grace
It was just on channel 13.3 DTV using a over the air antenna.

I think she slept with Bing and Frank during the making of movie....

I still prefer the 1940 version far ahead of the later version...

Also, to me, the movie African Queen is a top five "com-rom"... IMHO, Bogart & Hepburn are fabulous...

Mang = “Man” Al Pacino’s Cubano variation thereof. It’s repeated throughout the Scarface film. To the point that it’s become a punchline.

We watched a really sweet movie last night:

‘The Magic of Belle Isle’.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1839654/

(We’re watching Batman tonight - my husband gives over only so much ;-)

I think the movie expressed something we all felt at one point. It might have been the catalyst for change.
