Kevin's Watch

Here they are....

Pretty interesting list, but Quint belongs at #1, and Gordon Gekko's "greed is good" diatribe belongs at #2. Oh, and the Sicilian history lesson is a solid #3.

Christopher Wlaken has a monologue in the film "At Close Range" that should be on the list. Chilling and hard!

Yuck. I would have had Jack Nicholson's "You need be at the wall" monologue from A Few Good Men, Alec Balwin's "God Complex" speech from Malice, and Clint Eastwood's "Did I shoot 5 times or 6" essay from Dirty Harry. Hell, even Bill Murry's "Mutt" speech from Stripes was better than some of those top ten.

I can't disagree with any of those.

Especially the "God complex" one.

Nope, the best is Billy Jack.

WHAT?
No Dr Evil?


***************************************

Dr. Evil: The details of my life are quite inconsequential.
Therapist (Carrie Fisher): Oh no, please, please, let's hear about your childhood.
Dr Evil: Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.
Therapist: You know, we have to stop.

Quint should be at number one. Cail is absolutely correct. I also agree about the Jack Nicholson's "You cant handle the truth" speech. But seriously, Quint for number one. That speech gives me the chills.

"Shark doesn't even look like he's living until he bites you and his black eyes roll over white and the high pitched screaming starts and the ocean turns red...."

Gah. Just brilliant, the writing, every aspect of the delivery from the voice inflections to the timing just everything.

I've seen Jaws literally hundreds of times. Seriously, I think it's probably the best movie ever made. But any time I'm flipping channels and see it on TV, I'll sit and watch that scene. Gets me every damn time.

...I know...wrong mysticism...but still...

Cail, I have to admit it scares me a little when we agree so strongly. You and I have a movie date sometime in our future. I'll make dinner, beef stroganoff and you make dessert, chocolate chip cookies and we will watch Jaws.

Did I mention I only watch Jaws while slathered in honey?

That works out well because I only watch Jaws while slathered in peanut butter and munching on graham crackers.

It's a date!

Which one of us gets to be the shark?

Can I come? I'll bring the ants!

OOH, ants, now THAT'S kinky.

I'm, counting on them going after the honey first; if that fails, then I'll bring a bear.

You are so deviously naughty dAN!

Jaws is the best drinking movie ever.
