You may have noticed from some older threads that I consider myself a bit of a film geek. Every now and then we all come across a dialogue scene in a film which we know we will want to watch over and over again.
Here are a few of my favourites.
1. "It looks like the best part of you ran down the crack of your momma's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the matress."
Enjoy R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman's speech from the opening scene of Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam classic Full Metal Jacket. Squirm as Hartman abuses and bullies the new Marine Corps recruits on Paris Island. Marvel at the man who coined the phrase, "you climb obstacles like old people fuck.
2. "Sicilians were spawned by niggers"
Christopher Walken, a mobster, is pursuing Dennis Hopper's son, who has stolen the proceeds of a drug deal. Hopper has been brought in for torture and questioning. Watch Hopper's brave defiance and Walken's begrudging admiration for Hopper's disrespect for Sicilians in the face of certain death. Beautiful.
3. "It takes brass balls to sell real estate"
Kevin Spacey is the manager of a cut-throat real estate sales office in this adaptation of a David Mamet play. He brings in Alec Baldwin from head office to give his struggling salesmen, including Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris and Alan Arkin, a little pep talk. If you've ever worked in sales, sit back and enjoy his masterful abuse for poor performance.
