Movie Quote of the Day – Eyes Wide Shut, 1999 (dir. Stanley Kubrick)
Alice Harford: Millions of years of evolution, right? Right? Men have to stick it in every place they can, but for women. . .women it’s just about security and commitment and whatever the fuck else!
Dr. Bill Harford: A little oversimplified, Alice, but yes, something like that.
Alice Harford: If you men only knew. . .
Movie Quote of the Day – Magnolia, 1999 (dir. Paul Thomas Anderson)
Phil Parma: I know this sounds silly and I know that I might sound ridiculous. Like this is the scene in the movie where the guy’s trying to get ahold of the long lost son, you know, but this is that scene. This is that scene. And I think that they have those scenes in movies because they’re true, you know, because they really happen. And you gotta believe me. This is really happening. I mean, I can give you my number and you can go check with whoever you have to go check with and call me back, but do not leave me hanging on this. Alright? Please? See, this is the scene in the movie where you help me out.
Movie Quote of the Day – The Iron Giant, 1999 (dir. Brad Bird)
Dean McCoppin: Get back! I said get back! I mean it!
The Iron Giant: No. Stop. Wait.
Hogarth Hughes: It was an accident. He’s our friend.
Dean McCoppin: He’s a piece of hardware, Hogarth. Why do you think the army was here? He’s a weapon, a big. . .big gun that walks.
The Iron Giant: I. . .I. . .I not gun.
Dean McCoppin: Yeah? Then what’s that? [points at huge hole the Giant’s ray left on a bus] You almost did that to Hogarth!
The Iron Giant: No! [Runs away]
Hogarth Hughes: Come back! [Runs after the Giant]
Dean McCoppin: Hogarth! Hey stop!
Hogarth Hughes: Giant! Come back!
Dean McCoppin: [sees the toy gun Hogarth left on the ground] It was defensive. He reacted to the gun.
Movie Quote of the Day – Double Jeopardy, 1999 (dir. Bruce Beresford)
Handsome Internet Expert: Now maybe when this thing has finished its searching, we could go to this, uh, this neat little bar I know and, uh, have a little drink. What do you say?
Elizabeth ‘Libby’ Parsons: Yeah. I just have to check in with my parole officer first.
Handsome Internet Expert: You’ve been to jail?
Elizabeth ‘Libby’ Parsons: Actually prison. Jail is a different thing.
Handsome Internet Expert: [laughs nervously] So what did you do? Not pay your parking tickets?
Elizabeth ‘Libby’ Parsons: Oh, no. I was convicted of murdering my husband.
Handsome Internet Expert: You’re kidding, right?
Elizabeth ‘Libby’ Parsons: No, I’m not. “Sliced and Diced” the paper called it. Can you believe that?
Movie Quote of the Day – Jawbreaker, 1999 (dir. Darren Stein)
Marcie: What are you doing?
Courtney: God! Tuna munch?
Fern: But my mom always–
Courtney: We never eat at lunch. Do you understand me? If for some damn good reason we did, we would never, ever eat out of a brown paper bag. I don’t care if there’s a culinary masterpiece in it. Get rid of it.
Fern: Sorry.
Courtney: If I get a zit because of this–
Fern: I’m sorry.
Courtney: I’d better never have kids. I have zero patience. [beat] Don’t think we’re anorexic, we’re not. That’s for the Karen Carpenter table. We’re not stupid. We eat. And we eat well. We just don’t eat in public. We don’t want people judging us by what we eat. It gives them ammo. The only ones with ammo are us. Food’s cool. You need it to live. But the mere act of eating invokes thoughts of digestion, flatulation, defecation, even, shall we say, complexion defection. I’d never eat a greasy pizza. Not even in front of the ultra-special students – the deaf, dumb and the blind – because at some terrifying level they’re associating that greasy pizza with your shiny face. A zit, a blackhead, a cluster of pores. It’s just another vexing stress.
Marcie: Life is hard enough without added anxiety.
Movie Quote of the Day – Bowfinger, 1999 (dir. Frank Oz)
Robert K. Bowfinger: I worry about our age difference.
Daisy: What is age? It’s a state of mind.
Robert K. Bowfinger: That’s the way I feel.
Daisy: Who cares if when I hit my sexual peak you’ll be 70?
Robert K. Bowfinger: I know! It’s Bogie and Bacall.
Daisy: Who?
Movie Quote of the Day – Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, 1999 (dir. Jay Roach)
Dr. Evil: Anyways, the key to this plan is the giant laser. It was invented by the noted Cambridge physicist Dr. Parsons. Therefore, we shall call it the Alan Parsons Project.
Scott: Oh, my God.
Dr. Evil: What now?
Scott: The Alan Parsons Project is a progressive rock band in 1982. Why don’t you just name it ‘Operation Wang-Chung’? Ass.
Dr. Evil: What should we. . .
Scott: Nothing. I’m sure ‘Operation Bananarama’ will be huge.
Dr. Evil: What are you saying?
Scott: If you’re. . .
Dr. Evil: Shh.
Scott: . . .trying to be hip. . .
Dr. Evil: www [dot] shh [dot] com . . . [dot] org.
Movie Quote of the Day – 200 Cigarettes, 1999 (dir. Risa Bramon Garcia)
Lucy: You need to find somebody that likes you the way you are.
Kevin: And who would possibly like me the way I am?
Lucy: I have no idea.
Movie Quote of the Day – The Virgin Suicides, 1999 (dir. Sofia Coppola)
Doctor: What are you doing here, honey? You’re not even old enough to know how bad life gets.
Cecilia: Obviously, Doctor, you’ve never been a 13-year-old girl.
Movie Quote of the Day – Cruel Intentions, 1999 (dir. Roger Kumble)
Cecile Caldwell: This sure doesn’t taste like an iced tea.
Sebastian: It’s from Long Island.
