"We just need a home...and this country...is seeking to be whole, stretching out it's arms and consuming everything it can. And we merely follow." - Ives

Just a short quote that brought a little political statement into it...I thought it was brilliant.

Hey, you've seen my other favorite movie, too! (Right?) "You know what play is, don't you, Trumpy?"

Did you know that was a total ad-lib from Robert Carlyle? He even made himself laugh after the line... so that laugh there is genuine. I have to agree that this is also one of the best lines of the movie. :)

yes!! I loved that line too, especially with the pause when you have just a moment to wonder what he's going to say...

[–] BrainGremlin 13 years ago

That was probably my favorite line as well.

There are so many to choose from, but...hmmm...

I guess it would have to be

"My advice is, don't get sick. I'd tell you not to eat, but most of us have to..."

My favorite line too, gives me chills and laughs at the same time. The line that I always remember first when I think of this good film.

Hart - "So. Uh, you have a hobby, Boyd?"
Boyd - "Swimming."
Hart - "Hmm. Hope you don't mind hard water."

Hart - "Private Reich. He's our soldier. I'd steer clear of him."

Hart - "The over-medicated Private Cleaves."

Hart (to Cleaves) - "I want you back in three days. No loco-weed, no peyote, & no women."

"Did you find Cleaves?"

"No."

"Did you check around outside?"

"...No."

"THEN CHECK AROUND OUTSIDE, WOMAN!"

I enjoyed almost all the dialogues and the plot as a whole. But the "...sneaky" ending was almost genious, I agree.
Damon Albarn's music theme is also stunning and very convenient to the plot.

[–] mooncakesus 17 years ago

It was the music that tipped me off that this is not just another horror movie -- who would have thought of using a squeeze box and a banjo and making music that (a lot of it, anyway) sounds like they really could have played it in 1847?

Oh, yes, Ives' rather good-natured reaction with the "sneaky" line is a thing of genius. It caught me by surprise. A lot of things in this movie have that effect. It's hardly possible to pick out one favorite line.

But ... "Boyd, nooooo!" in Cleaves' whiny voice is so funny, it's my favorite thing to say when something annoying happens.

"Ask Major Knox! Major Knox was there!"

"Major Knox?"

"Ask Major Knox!"

"Major Knox?"

"Major Knox."

(Cut to Knox)

"Doesn't look familiar to me, Sir."

"That is terrible advice, Ant1238."

reply

[–] mooncakesus 17 years ago

Heh-heh-heh! But you gotta do it with the terrified stammer, i.e.:

"Mm-major Knox!"

"Major Knox?"

"Mm-major Knox!"

"Major Knox?"

"Mm-major Knox!"

This is the most quotable movie ...
