"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn," Rett Butler, "Gone with the Wind".

"YO ADRIEN! I DID IT!" - Rocky Balboa, "Rocky".

"Whoa," every movie Keanu Reeves has ever been in.

"KHAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" Captain Kirk,"Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".

"No, _I_ am your father," Darth Vader, "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back".

"Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off. He's a tight-ass. He's a sadist. He's an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never. " - John Milton/The Devil (played by Al Pacino), "The Devil's Advocate".

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die." - Roy Batty, "Blade Runner".

"To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. Good night, and good luck."

David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, and Good Luck.

Edward R. Murrow was a Communist idiot. Joseph McCarthy was an American hero who ousted dozens of Soviet spies and Communists in the State Department. Alger Hiss has been proven a spy.

Crappy movie, too.

People like this, it pops up two or three times a year. We keep a notebook with quotes from movies, TV shows, etc. Ten years ago it got so thick I had to transcribe it to Excel. Some samples from thirty years:She'd change her name to "T. V. Listings," just so she could see it in the newspaper. -- "Disclosure" How's your education going?
I've given up on that. I found I was learning things I didn't want to learn. -- "Dodsworth" You can tell that America is a melting pot. When it starts to boil, all the scum rises to the top. -- "Down by Law" Nothing illustrates the quaint British attitude about craftsmanship better than the fact that they'd rather spend their time gluing real wood onto the dashboard of a Jaguar instead of getting the ignition to work reliably. -- "IQ"

MadAnthonyWayne:

It was a pretty interesting film. One of Al Pacino's weirder ones, though. He plays what seems to be a Jew from Georgia, whose life falls apart. Not exactly the "hoo-ah!" screaming Al Pacino of "Scent of a Woman", to say the least.

I'd recommend watching it at least once, though. Pretty interesting.

"The cockpit...what is it?"
"It's the little room at the front of the plane where the pilot sits, but that's not important right now!"

Maybe it was o+. It was in the literature handed out to pass time giving blood. I always wondered how that information would be gathered, anyway.

If I remember correctly, It stated that most Rambo fans have type O blood. From the american red cross web site, it shows about 45% type O percentage. So I guess it depends on what they meant by most, ie: more than 50% or just the largest majority, which they would be anyway, as you correctly pointed out.
