God this stuff isn't getting to me - the shootings, the knifings, the beatings. Old ladies being bashed in the head for their social security checks. Nah that doesn't bother me. But you know what does bother me? You know what makes me really sick to my stomach? It's watching you stuff your face with those hotdogs! Nobody - I mean nobody puts ketchup on a hot dog!

Re: can we talk classics?



The story begins as "Don" Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia "family", oversees his daughter's wedding. His beloved son Michael has just come home from the war, but does not intend to become part of his father's business. Through Michael's life the nature of the family business becomes clear. The business of the family is just like the head of the family, kind and benevolent to those who give respect, but given to ruthless violence whenever anything stands against the good of the family. Don Vito lives his life in the way of the old country, but times are changing and some don't want to follow the old ways and look out for community and "family". An up and coming rival of the Corleone family wants to start selling drugs in New York, and needs the Don's influence to further his plan. The clash of the Don's fading old world values and the new ways will demand a terrible price, especially from Michael, all for the sake of the family.

Bringing up Baby is hysterical [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img]
Bringing Up Baby (1938) is one of versatile director Howard Hawks' greatest screwball comedies and often considered the definitive screwball film. It is also one of the funniest, wackiest and most inspired films of all time with its characteristic breathless pace, zany antics and pratfalls, absurd situations and misunderstandings, perfect sense of comic timing, completely screwball cast, series of lunatic and hare-brained misadventures, disasters, light-hearted surprises and romantic comedy. The non-stop, harum-scarum farce skewered many institutions, including psychiatry, the sterile field of science, the police, and high-society upper classes. At the time of its release, it failed miserably at the box-office and was soon forgotten, until it was revived years later


As she walks away from the psychiatrist's table, she mistakenly takes the purse that belongs to his wife (Tala Birell), thinking it is hers [her errors from the golf game and in the parking lot are compounded here]. Deciding that the top-hatted stranger's feelings and behaviors are evidence of fixation and a "love impulse," Susan directly and candidly confronts David:


Susan: Do you know why you're following me? You're a fixation.
David: Oh, I'm not following you. I've been sitting here. I haven't moved from this spot. Now please, you're following me.
Susan: Oh, don't be absurd. Who's always behind whom?
David: Now look, my dear young lady. I haven't been behind anything but what they call the, uh, uh eight-ball. I haven't been all day.
Susan: You're angry, aren't you?
David: Yes I am.
Susan: Um, hmm. 'The love impulse in men frequently reveals itself in terms of conflict.'
Soon, Huxley is mixed up in a case of mistaken identities regarding the purse, and accused of being a thief. When Susan goes to the bar, David is asked to hold the purse. (In a quick pass by Dr. Lehman's table, she notices the doctor is unskillfully attempting her olive game, quipping at him: "Missed.") David is soon forced to defend the purse he holds, and put into a position that again appears dishonest, unstable, foolish and feminine. She rushes to apologize and to explain her mistake. David tries to explain the unexplainable about Susan to the Lehmans: "And my dear sir, it never will be clear as long as she's explaining it."

When she tries to stop David's hasty retreat from her and argue that her mistake wasn't intentional, she grabs one of his tails and rips the back seam of his tuxedo: "If you'd only wait while I explain...Oh, you've torn your coat!" He turns angrily toward her and asks for her to disappear once and for all:


Let's play a game...Watch, I'll put my hand over my eyes and then you go away...See and I'll count to ten, and when I take my hand down you will be gone!
As she turns from him and storms off - insulted and hurt by the rejection, he gets his revenge. A large piece of the train of her dress tears off since he inadvertently is standing on the hem of her gown. After the back panel of the dress has been ripped off, this causes him to be embarrassed for her situation, and it is her turn to be foolish. Unwilling to listen to him and acting offended at his persistence, she is unaware that her backside is exposed to the public. She marches off and asks for him to leave her alone and quit following her around ("And please stop following me around, fixation or no fixation").

Adam's Rib


Adam's Rib (1949) is director George Cukor's most famous film of the battle of the sexes - between two married lawyers. The Oscar-nominated screenplay (originally titled Man and Wife) for the sparkling, MGM classic (screwball) comedy of the post-war years was way ahead of its time. It was written by the husband-wife team of Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin (the recipients of the film's sole Academy Award nomination). The story was inspired by the real-world legal case of a husband-lawyer team (William and Dorothy Whitney), who after the divorce proceedings for actors Raymond Massey and Adrianne Allen, divorced - and married their respective clients.

In the film, the case centered around the accused - a dumb blonde (Holliday), who shot (but didn't fatally wound) her adulterous husband (Ewell) with a mistress. The lawyers argued about the double-standard that disallowed a woman from seeking revenge with a pistol - like a man.



heatedly continues to discuss the Attinger case - with an exposition on unequal justice and a double standard of conduct that favors men over women:


Amanda: Look! All I'm trying to say is that there are lots of things that a man can do and in society's eyes, it's all hunky-dory. A woman does the same thing - the same, mind you, and she's an outcast.
Adam: Finished?
Amanda: No. Now I'm not blaming you personally, Adam, because this is so.
Adam: Well, that's awfully large of you.
Amanda: No, no, it's not your fault. All I'm saying is, why let this deplorable system seep into our courts of law, where women are supposed to be equal?
Adam: Mostly, I think, females get advantages!
Amanda: We don't want advantages! And we don't want prejudices!
Adam: Oh, don't get excited, honey, and don't -
Amanda: I'm not excited -
Adam: Oh, you're giving me the Bryn Mawr right too.
Amanda: Well what did she try to do? She tried to keep her home intact.
Adam: Yeah, by knocking off her husband.
Amanda: She didn't knock him off. He's alive. She didn't kill him.
Adam: She tried. She missed.
Amanda: Well, all right. Now supposing -
Adam: What do you want to do? Give her another shot at him?
Amanda: No, I don't...[after an arbitrary cut in their conversation] the kind of thing burns my goat!
Adam: Your what?
Amanda: My goat! My goat!
Adam: A crime should be punished, not condoned.
Amanda: If a woman commits it.
Adam: Anybody.
She swings over and stops the car abruptly, angering a cab driver: "Oh you lady drivers, you'll put me away yet!"

Re: can we talk classics?

looka here, how nobaddy no mention The Wizard of Oz?



My favourite song from that movie? not Somewhere Over the Rainbow, but If I Were King of the Forest, by the Cowardly Lion:

If I were King of the Forest,
Not queen, not duke, not prince.
My regal robes of the forest,
Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.

I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl.
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl
Woof

As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel.
And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow.
And the sparrow would take wing
If I - If I - were King!

Each rabbit would show respect to me.
The chipmunks genuflect to me.
Though my tail would lash,
I would show compash
For every underling!

If I - If I - were King!
Just King!
Monarch of all I survey
Mo--na-a-a--a-arch Of all I survey!
