Good quotes wasted in bad movies....
"If it was easy, everybody would do it - the hard is what makes it good" - Tom Hanks - League of their own.

Not really a bad movie, but when I started the thread I thought it was in "That thing you do."

It's a terrific movie. Especially now with all this Reagasm bullshit.

3. okay, so it's more of a bad line in a good movie
but "bad" in a good way and "good" in a sorta campy way.

8. There you go
Excellent film, becoming ever more reality, methinks. The "bubblegum" line was ad-libbed by Roddy Piper. He did a great job -- I didn't know until long after I first saw the film that he was a pro wrestler. He was better than a lot of career actors.

6. Willie Nelson in "The Electric Horseman"
"I'm gonna get me a bottle of tequila, and one of those keno girls that can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch, and check on outta here!"

That's gotta be a classic.

7. Good line from a pretty good movie....
From the gun runner (who eventually gets caught) in "The Friends of Eddie Coyle": "Life is hard, but it's harder if you're stupid."

There's a politician or two in Washington that, I think, ignored that advice.

12. Ref-"What's the problem" Hanks- "She's crying sir!"
Great bit.

Like my other favourite saying "There's no pity in Hockey"

11. For some reason I love this line.....
From 'The Limey', also a good film IMO.

"There's something I don't understand. The thing I don't understand
is every motherfucking word you're saying".
