My Favourite Films of All Time - Part 5

Amour, Michael Haneke (2012)



"Anne: It's beautiful.
Georges: What?
Anne: Life. So long."


Chocolat, Lasse Hallstrom (2000)


"You don't misbehave here. It's just not done, did you know that? If you don't go to confession, if you don't... dig your flowerbeds, or if you don't pretend, if you don't pretend... that you want nothing more in your life than to serve your husband three meals a day, and give him children, and vacuum under his ass, then... then you're... then you're crazy."


Bonnie and Clyde, Arthur Penn (1967)




"You know what you done there? You told my story, you told my whole story right there, right there. One time, I told you I was gonna make you somebody. That's what you done for me. You made me somebody they're gonna remember." 


This is England, Shane Meadows (2006)



 "I just wondered if you'd like to be my girlfriend. I think you're lovely."


Full Metal Jacket, Stanley Kubrick (1987)



"These are great days we're living, bros. We are jolly green giants, walking the Earth with guns. These people we wasted here today are the finest human beings we will ever know. After we rotate back to the world, we're gonna miss not having anyone around that's worth shooting."


 Mona Lisa Smile, Mike Newell (2003)


  
 "I've heard her called a quitter for leaving and aimless wanderer. But not all who wander are aimless, especially those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image. I'll never forget you."


Notting Hill, Roger Michell (2003)



 "Anna Scott: Can I stay for a while?
William: You can stay forever."


The Blues Brothers, John Landis (1980)



"They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God." 


Citizen Kane, Orson Welles (1941)



"Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he wanted and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was something he couldn't get, or something he lost. Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything... I don't think any word can explain a man's life. No, I guess Rosebud is just a... piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece." 



The Woman Next Door, Francois Truffaut (1981)



"I suspect that Mathilde and Bernard won't be buried together. if I had to select an epitaph for them it would be, "Neither with you, nor without you.", but I doubt whether I'll be asked."
