"What's your favourite scene/line from a movie?"First that comes to mind is the masquerade scene from Labyrinth. I'm guessing that'd be a fairly common favourite thought ( Read more... )

Well, pretty much the whole script of Robin Hood: Men in Tights cracks me up just to think about it XD It's utterly quoteable! "Lovely bristols" [said in the funny accent] has been a favorite all week :p

Erm .. and a current favorite line is "I would not have thought it: there IS something better than a play!" said by Violet de Lesseps in Shakespeare in Love.

I love so many films, Amelié is really quotable too ..

from my favourite movie, Moulin Rouge! when the conductor of the orchestra grits his teeth and runs up onto the stage to join the closing extravaganza.

that is so totally going to be me when I'm a director. I may be in the pit, but I'll have a hard time keeping out of the spotlight. :-D

my favorite line is when Constantine is getting out of the church after his meeting with gabriel and he lights a cigarrete and says: "he has a rotten sense of humor & his punchlines are killers"

I... always thought the masquerade scene in Labyrinth was the weakest. I only remember it being padded and light and boring, as opposed to the stark contrasts and pace of the rest of the movie. I'd have to check it out now though to see what I think now.

I've been recently watching the series Angel on DVD. Whedon and Greenwalt have wicked senses for dialogue, not to mention Whedon pulls some fantastic directorial tricks for someone who was never schooled in filmmaking.

Dogma has some favourites;

"No, "Through the Looking Glass". That poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter" that's an indictment of organized religion. The walrus, with his girth and his good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha, or... or with his tusk, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your Eastern religions. Now the carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter's son, he represents the Western religions. Now in the poem, what do they do... what do they do? They... They dupe all these oysters into ( ... )
