"Alright dude...this time right between the eyes."

---

Is this the line after which we all started calling each other "Dude?"

---

" In the early 1960s, dude became prominent in surfer culture as a synonym of guy or fella. The female equivalent was "dudette" or "dudess". but these have both fallen into disuse and "dude" is now also used as a unisex term. This more general meaning of "dude" started creeping into the mainstream in the mid-1970s. "Dude", particularly in surfer and "bro" culture,[citation needed] is[when?] generally used informally to address someone ("Dude, I'm glad you finally called") or refer to another person ("I've seen that dude around here before").[13]

One of the first known references to the word in American film was in the 1969 movie Easy Rider where Wyatt (portrayed by Peter Fonda) explains to his cellmate lawyer (portrayed by Jack Nicholson) the definition of "dude": "Dude means nice guy; Dude means regular sort of person."

In the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance I understood that "Dude" was being used in its original meaning " a person dressed as a dandy". This was because Jimmy Stewart was a well dressed lawyer in the Old West and had the more refined manners of a person from the Big city. Lee Marvin was a rough cowboy with the manners to match. "Dude" was an insult.

Agreed, as is the case with a Dude Ranch, were well-to-do City folks pay big money to play cowboy for a few days.

All is well, all is well
What we have here is a failure to communicate
Go ahead, make my day
I'll be back
Life was like a box of chocolates
Houston, we have a problem
If you build it, he will come
Shaken, not stirred (or Bond, James Bond)
May the force be with you
I coulda been a contender
Here's Johny...
I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore
Forrest, Forrest Bueller?
Play it again Sam (was it really said?) (or Here's looking at you kid)
You talking to me?
Greed... is good
You can't handle the truth

Sorry to be so late to this party and I don't know if it's been covered earlier in the thread, but it's Ferris, not Forrest, and the line was "Bueller... Bueller... Bueller?" It's a sad commentary on the times that I'm in the process of watching it right now.

The reference to "I'll be back" reminds me of my favorite Schwarzenegger quote from The Last Action Hero (my favorite Schwarzenegger movie)
"Rubber baby buggy bumper".

For those not familiar with this classic movie.
A kid magically jumps into an action movie starring his favorite action hero (Schwarzenegger).
While there the kid tries to convince his hero that the hero is living inside a movie and one of the kid's arguments is that the kid knows when the hero will use his tag line, "BIG Mistake!"
At one point the hero comes back with: "Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper" and challenges the kid with: "Ha, I'll bet you didn't know I was going to say THAT!"

The Movie for me was great because of the way it weaves between real life and life within a movie.
Unfortunately it was a flop with his fans. My feeling this was because he was stepping back and laughing at his film persona and because the film required his ordinary fans to think too much.

I love the ending of the movie as our hero drives off into the sunset in his big Cadillac to the sound of Beethoven. (As contrasted to the way he came into the movie to the sound of heavy rock and roll.) our hero has really grown.

I think Robert Armstrong's announcement in the 1933 classic is a bit more dramatic...but...

"I give you Kong! The Eighth Wonder of the World!"

Hence - Dude Ranch, etc.

It is very controversial that Lee Marvin is buried in Arlington. Years ago there was a bogus email about him being a WWII hero. He got shot in the a$$ in Saipan. I checked out his grave marker during my son's 8th grade field trip to DC many years ago.

"and you don't have to love thy neighbor, you leave the bas*tard alone"

"No, I don't know Carl LaFong...capital L small a, capital F, small o, small n, small g. And if I did know Carl LaFong, I wouldn't admit it."

"I didn't squawk about the steak dear, I merely said I didn't see that old horse that used to be tethered outside here."

"You're as funny as a cry for help."

"Have you ever had this tooth pulled before? This won't hurt...much."

"I'm going to give her gas. I'm not going to let her pull me along the floor."

"Life moves pretty fast, you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it."

"I swear I work for you, I don't drink your water. I don't eat your food. Compassione."

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. (Blade Runner)

Wait til they get a load of me. (Batman)

The Battle of Saipan was no joke. Saipan was Japanese territory before the war with many Japanese immigrants. The US invaded Saipan in the north before retaking Guam (American territory) in the south. 13,790 Americans died and 10,364 were wounded. On the Japanese side, 29,000 died (5,000 by suicide) and 22,000 civilians died (many by suicide as well). After the loss of Saipan, Tojo resigned. The US set up airfields on Saipan and Tinian and used them to fire bomb Tokyo and drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Hey hey now, don't be mean, we don't have to be mean....cus' remember, not matter where you go, there you are.

In this great charge scene, there were some horses that were killed outright or had to be put down later. That realism they looked for at that cost would obviously not fly in today's world.

Classic scene there by W.C....

"Well, I can be a little trouble. But you look like a big enough man to be able to handle a little trouble."

Eleanor Parker to William Holden in "Escape From Fort Bravo"

FROM AN EPISODE of "The Guns of Will Sonnettt":

'A few dozen men stood where your sanding, thinking that their faster than me.
They are all buried on Boot Hill, and I'am still standing here.
NO BRAG, JUST FACT.'

Another great line (or interchange) from Casablanca.

Captain Renault: What in heavens name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health; I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
Rick: I was misinformed.

Casablanca is so classic. I recommend seeing it at the Stanford Theater, with the popcorn in the cone shaped cup

"Hey, why do they call him machine gun?"

"I don't know, everybody calls him that. He claims he holds the international record for jerking off."

"When I was his age, I thought I held it."

"We all held it. I think he holds it more."

Lifeguard also has one of the great beach/surf songs (to me) of all time. I got the chance to write to Dale Menten back in the day, who performs this song, and he sent me a copy of it. It was really hard to find, so was very grateful to him for that.

"Yeah...can you keep her off a bottle?"

"I'll try."
