Movie Madness Monday: May Day Edition

Welcome back once again to my little trivia-freak Olympiad known as Movie Madness Monday. Here’s the deal: Each Monday I pick a movie and sprinkle in a few of my favorite quotes. You then stop your damn lurking and contribute a quote of your own, from the same movie, if possible. I will not tell you the name of the movie until Wednesday. Now, you could cheat and type the quotes into a search engine, but that would be no fun. Some people, of course, have no shame. Here goes:


“When he reached the New World, Cortez burned his ships. As a result his men were well motivated.”

“Listen, I'm a politician which means I'm a cheat and a liar; when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open.”

“Central Intelligence Agency... Now, there's a contradiction in terms.”

“I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me.”

“’Most things in here don’t react too well to bullets.’—Yeah, like ME.”

"A great day, comrades-- we sail into history!"
**** WEDNESDAY Update: We go into the Laurents Abyssal for this week's film,
The Hunt for Red October!

Now, I am personally of the opinion that Tom Clancy writes great ideas for movies. And I LOVE Sam Neill and Sean Connery, who should have resisted the call for the unfortunate hairpiece, but it matters not! What a great adventure!

And let's not forget
Tim Curry as the ship's physician. It's good to see him in a film when it's not 1:30 in the morning with a bunch of strange, strange people all around me throwing bread and playing cards around a theatre, but still, every time I see him, a little voice inside me chants:

"Janet!"
"Dr. Scott!"
"Janet!"
"Brad!"
"Rocky!"
"UNH!"
