The - What Did I Learn From That Movie ***Game***

This one is easy, just pick your favorite movies and post a couple of lines of something that you learned from the movie.

I'll start.

Roadhouse -
I learned that "pain don't hurt"

JC Penney came to town because of Brad Wesley

It was tails


Top Gun -
Maverick, felt the need, the need for speed

A bar full of drunk sailors will help you with your attempt to pick up a woman and start singing "you've lost that loving feeling".

Ok... guess I'm playing by myself...



Roadhouse-
I learned that "pain don't hurt"

I learned that you can look really cool by leaning against the bar and nodding your head in time with the music.

The Big Lebowski
I learned not to pee on his rug. It really tied the room together.

Better Off Dead - "It's a damn shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that"
Lesson - Never just give up on someone.

Better Off Dead - "Two....dollars...."
Lesson - Sometimes persistence just doesn't pay off.

Every 80's movie
Lesson - Sure, you want the super hot girl, but the pretty cute girl you're friends with, is actually the one for you.

Goonies - "Goonies never say die!"
Lesson - With friends, you can accomplish anything.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - "Life moves pretty fast..."
Lesson - Take time to smell the roses (and skipping school can be fun)

Red Dawn - "Because....we LIVE here!"
Lesson - Patriotism

Braveheart - "They may take our lives....but they will never take....OUR FREEDOM!"
Lesson - Some things ARE worth dying for....

I learned the proper reply to the question, 'What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?', from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Good thread idea, I like the premise.
Will be back when I've had time to think about my reply.

The Godfather - Michael: Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the contract.

Crime, in fact, does pay.

Perhaps.
But Thelma and Louise taught me that it's all fun and games until the road ends.

But at least you had your boy toy first.

I'm Louise. I think Thelma had the boy toy.
I just go over the cliff with her, cuz it's ho's before bro's....(also learned from same movie).

I can always film a sequel with you.

Also from The Godfather:

Michael: My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.

Kay Adams: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed.

Michael: Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?

The implications are quite obvious.

Okay, I would prefer one where I don't die at the end.

I learned 2 sentences in Dutch from an old Meg Ryan movie (the title escapes me).
(I also learned that saying, "What nice white teeth you have" and "All the better to eat you with" is not appreciated by my Dutch neighbours whilst in the elevator.)

Dr. Strangelove

I learned how to stop worrying and love the bomb.

The Big Lebowski

Check wind direction.

"Back to the future"

Don't make out with your mom in the past.

Which ones?

The Matrix

When the Oracle says you will fall in love with 'The One", you must have faith and believe.....

Ghost busters.
When someone asks you if you are a God you say yes.

Robocop
Take the stairs

Brave heart
Its not a mans courage that makes him a man, its his wits.

Hi DMC, lol....
The ones that I wrote in that same reply...where I said, " (I also learned that saying, "What nice white teeth you have" and "All the better to eat you with" is not appreciated by my Dutch neighbours whilst in the elevator.)"

That really happened. It WAS funny when I told them my Dutch ex-husband had taught me "vies varken" (dirty pig).

Also from that flick is "If she weighs as much as a duck, she's made of wood, therefore a witch. Burn Her!"

Lesson? Never expect people to be logical. Or sane. Ever.

One can also learn loads about organized religion from Life of Brian.

The Meaning of Life also taught me to never eat the salmon mousse.
