Channel AMC if you have it, 8 p.m. Eastern time. Everyone I know that has seen this remembers at least one quote from this movie classic w/ Paul Newman from 1967. If you've never seen it you gotta check out Lucille washing her car Lucille:
"One in the bush, one in the box"? "I'm shakin it boss, I'm shakin it"? "Did ya get your mind right Luke"? It'll come to ya sooner or later.
Amen to that EDIT: I just hope that since the only tool you own is a hammer, that plastic Jesus don't break on ya, hate to see ya try and fix him,lol
Captain: (calling out names) Lucas Jackson? Luke: Here, captain. Captain: Maliciously destroying municipal property while under the influence. What was that? Luke: Cuttin' the heads off parking meters, captain. Captain: Oh. We ain't never had one of them before. [On why he cut the heads off parking meters] Small town, not much to do in the evenin'.
We actually watched it in one of my high school social studies classes. Can't remember exactly why, but it's a good movie. -Chelle
Probably to show the brutality of chain gangs back then. I couldn't imagine doing years in a prison camp like that, let alone one week.
Are you kidding me? Why didn't I ever get to see neat movies in high school? The only things we ever saw were things like Edgar Allen Poe flicks and "For Whom The Bell Tolls". What did you guys get see for driver's ed? Bullitt?
When I was a freshman in HS, our teacher had us watch "Psycho". Don't know WHAT that was supposed to teach us--I was scarred for life.
This has been my favorite non car movie for many years. "What we have here is a failure to communicate" Oh and my favorite car movie...Vanishing Point (the original) Scott
Psycho was just on that AMC channel to this past week. What I remember in that movie was when the chair spun around and there was "mother" Texas Chainsaw Massacre was one I wished I'd never seen, that scared the crap outta me as a kid. When I was about 8 y/o we went and saw "The Blob" and I had nightmares for weeks afterwards. Here I was that day having a good ol time shootin flies with my bb gun on a pile of dog sh** and my brother and sister just had to ask if I wanted to go to the movies to see that. Totally ruined an otherwise fun day
i bought the dvd a while back, so now every time i need a coolhand fix, ive got it... anythin' that good lookin' gotta be named lucille!
I remember now. I was sociology and we were talking about positions of authority or something like that. -Chelle
