thebluefood Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Movies shouldn't be emulated frame by frame; but sometimes there's a phrase or two that is actually kind of applicable to real life. For example, one of my favorite movie quotes comes from the first Godfather movie. When Vito Corleone asks his godson Johnny Fontane if he spends time with his family, Fontane says yes. Corleone says in response. "Good, because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never truly be a man." Obviously, the Corleone family shouldn't be mimicked, but still sage advice. What are some other good ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 "She promised she'd stop hooking if I'd stop killing people" Definitely the most romantic line ever written.

Henry Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Princess Bride. (Yes. The whole movie.) Well, I was gonna open with "Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something." and follow up with "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while." "We are men of action. Lies do not become us." "Have fun storming the castle!" But your post pretty much covered it. From some other movies: "Death's a part of life. Something we're all destined to do." "[God] doesn't make rain. He gives us strength when we're suffering. He gives us compassion when all that we feel is hatred. He gives us courage when we're searching around blindly like little mice in the darkness... but He does not make rain! [Thunder and lightning begin, followed by a downpour] Of course... sometimes, just like that, he'll change His mind." "You cannot make a real commitment unless you accept that it's a choice that you keep making again and again and again." "You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
