Right? :mrgreen:
That's precisely the kind of response I was looking for, hoping to invite, just a simple sharing of some elements from some favorite or noteworthy movies that amused or interested us. Thanks for "getting it" and taking part in a conversation. Constructively.
Got more?

I'll provide a line from one of my favorite movies, "That is an amazingly stupid question."

Thank you, Rufus, and Thanks to you, too, Rex. Disappointing :o , but at least you gave me feedback and indicated where you stood on such a stupid question. :shock: Thanks again. I realize I do get a bit too much into reminiscing. My bad. But it's not like I left the T-Rex paddock open.:mrgreen: But lemme check dat on my iPhone :roll: :lol: jus to see how stupid it was. :oops: :P

robert. wrote:Apocalypse Now. Not a scene from the movie. A scene from my house as a 9-12 year old. Not sure of the exact year. This movie had just come out. My uncle (moms brother) knocks on the door. He is standing there in tears shaking. He came in and had an hour long talk with my mother how Nam. took away his teenage years. Then he went to my aunts house(moms sister) and had that same talk. He never mention the war before or after to them. Something in that movie got to him

Thanks for sharing that, Robert.
I had a lifelong friend, neighbor, and high school classmate go to Vietnam and return an almost wholly different guy. He had always been - before Vietnam - a very trusting person. A woman, there, feigned being a "Friendly" to him. One day, she asked him to take her into the nearby forest for an important errand. As he drove her farther and farther into the trees, he felt ill-at-ease, increasingly so, and reached a point where he refused to go further. At that moment, several of the enemy leaped out and tried to grab him and the jeep. Fortunately, a couple of his actual friends drove quickly up behind them and supported my friend, as the woman ran away into the trees. He escaped back to the camp, as did his fellow soldier-friends.

No; you misunderstand. I was not stating it was a stupid question but just giving you an example of line in the movie that that has stayed with me and a movie that has also stayed with me - now what movie was it, :wink: :wink:

I read each of these aloud, just now, to my wife , and we got every one of them. Real nice to be reminded. Life is like a box of chocolates, (when you have nice friends to share it with.)

Never heard of it. No connection. I'll ruminate on it a bit longer.

It's not in the same movie as, "Yeah, blondes are sort of scarce around here," is it?

It's a little bit of a long ride. Maybe you should be a little more frank with your clues. Then again it may take a younger man to get the answer :roll: You could be a Guest in my house. Just don't be shocked if you see me hanging in ladies lingerie
