Has anyone watched 'Six Days, Seven Nights'? There are tons of great films but that one tops my list! I haven't watched it for about a year and a half now so the quote may be a little inexact, but I can't help grinning when I think of that scene when, after Robin (Anne Heche) and Quinn (Harrison Ford) have been stranded on a desert island and Robin wastes their only flare to throw up a signal to a plane she thought would save them, Quinn tells her "That's a commercial airliner, it's flying five miles high at 500 mph, it wouldn't see a nuclear explosion if it were looking for it!!" hehehe :D :D :D That film is a real MUST for anyone who likes comedies!!!

Hi all.
Thanks for the tip Caroline. I must look for that movie ( a tad tricky, as the video shops here have all the titles written in Japanese @#$%*&^%$#@)

Hey, who knows which movie this quote is from;

"So ask yourself; 'Am I feeling lucky' ..... well are ya punk? WELL ARE YA"?

(clue; this guy is very unclean)

Technically wrong, was said by michael about his father, was "HE made him an offer he couldn't refuse"

No Guest .....

This quote appears twice in the movie.

1) Michael to his future wife on his sister's wedding.
2) From the man's mouth at least once more in the movie. I do not remember the context. I will edit this post shortly after watching the movie AGAIN.

Another quote from one of my favourite movies - Highlander
"There can be only one."

One that made me chuckle from Braveheart was made by the King of England. (Longshanks)
"The problem with Scotland... is that it's full of Scots!"
(Sorry to any Scots out there)

You can probably use that expression for any country that you're not to 'friendly' with.

I was wrong. The quote appears not twice, but thrice. I managed to get hold of the transcript of the movie. I have extracted the lines for the sake of ease.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


MICHAEL
My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

KAY
What was that?

MICHAEL
Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains -- or his signature -- would be on the contract.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JOHNNY
It's too late, they start shooting in a week

VITO CORLEONE
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.

(then)

Now you just go outside and enjoy yourself, and ah, forget about all this nonsense. I want you to leave it all to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FREDO
Hey, Mike, are you sure about that? Moe loves the business -- he never said nothin' to me about selling...

MICHAEL
Yeah -- well I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

(then, after Tom hands Michael a set of contracts)

See, Johnny -- see we figure that entertainment will be a big factor in drawing gamblers to the casino. And, we hope you'll sign a contract to appear five times a year.


The God Father is one of my all time favorite movies.

I like this one:
"Never send a human to do a machine's job." Agent Smith, Matrix.
