Bridges keeps referring to himself as a "writer" to which Andy Griffith replies: "If a person saying he was something was all there was to it, this country'd be full of rich men and good-looking women. Kings and queens... you know what I mean? Too bad it ain't that easy. In short, when someone else says you're a writer, that's when you're a writer...not before."Charles Edward Poguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028748279789443472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329900726636750013.post-84548419645721550582009-03-22T13:42:00.000-07:002009-03-22T13:42:00.000-07:00Well, unfortunately, I do not know the source of t...Well, unfortunately, I do not know the source of the other quote. However, as far as my favorite quotes go....one of my all time favorites is from His Girl Friday<BR/>"You've got an old fashioned idea divorce is something that lasts forever, 'til death do us part.' Why divorce doesn't mean anything nowadays, Hildy, just a few words mumbled over you by a judge." <BR/>Of course, I could pretty much quote the whole film(some of the best back and forth dialogue ever written in my opinion). <BR/>And, also, from fellini's 8 1/2 the quote all story tellers can empathize with:<BR/>"I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest film. No lies whatsoever. I thought I had something so simple to say. Something useful to everybody. A film that could help bury forever all those dead things we carry within ourselves. Instead, I'm the one without the courage to bury anything at all. When did I go wrong? I really have nothing to say, but I want to say it all the same."<BR/>I suppose those would be my top 2.joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321061468598490004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329900726636750013.post-80073987610289674422009-03-21T15:15:00.000-07:002009-03-21T15:15:00.000-07:00Hurrah!

Quite right, Joel McRae says it to Randolph Scott in Peckinpah's iconic western, Ride The High Country...my favourite Peckinpah, actually. Now will anyone get the other quote? A hint: It's from a 1936 film based on a classic American novel.Charles Edward Poguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028748279789443472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329900726636750013.post-56660349379617733002009-03-21T11:41:00.000-07:002009-03-21T11:41:00.000-07:00"I want to enter my house justified" = RIDE THE HI..."I want to enter my house justified" = RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY. I'm a big Peckinpah fan. Wonderful line and movie. Don't know the second one, I'm afraid. Being an admirer of your work, happy to see you blogging and, of course, quoting RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY.GoJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781868743858171960noreply@blogger.com
