I want to use "Dead or alive, you're coming with me!" but I don't get many chances. :(
Also it'd be extra wierd to say it here in English and all... :roll:

Anybody uses "Good business is where you find it"?
In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.

I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

Not me.

Another one I like to use is "They're gonna put you up in the nut hatch in Terra Haute, Trash!"

Anyone know where that is from?

This one's from ENEMY MINE. One of my favorite old SF films (not that old, but still darn fun to watch).

Louis Gossett Jr. deserved an Academy Award for working in that lizard suit. I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must've been.

Enemy Mine was one of the few movies ever I walked out on. I should have tripped like Freak beforehand.

My list of touched films (in chronological order):

1. Casablanca
2. The Hustler
3. Patton
4. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
5. Apollo 13

Surprisingly nothing recent, maybe because it's all been done before.

Yeah those are John Carpenter movies for sure, and while they are outstanding films, they aren't exactly "touching" per say....

hulk with eric bana and the gray haired old man.
i was so (and still am) inspired by the scene in which the old guy looses control.
specialy touched by a scene that i will never forget is him jumping on a platform and biting into a cable(eletrics).

" Nature beauteous form
Contains a lovely essence
Called by some- decay
By this lovely presence
New life finds its way.
Tears shed silently
Are but water of soul
They bring new life
To the pain of being--
A separation from that seeing
Which death makes whole."
