Shirley you can’t be serious.

I am serious and don't call me Shirley.

My friend came up with a classic line when the monster is revealed in the "ray gun graphics"

"Is that the best the FX could do for our ray guns?"
"This is 1956' we won't have decent CGI for another 40 years' why do you think the creature is invisible?"

Forbidden Planet is one of my favorite movies. They did a great job with what they had; matte paintings and miniatures, and as you said, no CGI, something that is used way too much in my opinion, CGI is no replacement for a bad story or horrible acting.

Getting in a bit late. Gotta mention a few all-time classics:

Dorothy in Wizard of Oz:
"Toto, I've a feeling, we're not in Kansas anymore."

Marilyn Monroe (Lorelei Lee) and Taylor Holmes (Mr. Esmond, Sr.) in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes:
Mr. Esmond: Have you got the nerve to tell me you don't want to marry my son for his money?
Lorelei: It's true.
Mr. Esmond: Then what do you want to marry him for?
Lorelei: I want to marry him for YOUR money.

Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind:
If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill, as God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.

Party guest to Ben in The Graduate:
I just want to say one word to you - just one word.... 'Plastics.'"

Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry (which he reprises at the end):
"I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?"

and Dirty Harry's most famous line of all, in Suddden Impact:
"Go ahead...make my day."

A few more memorable lines:

Maudie (Mae West) in Night After Night (1932):
Hatcheck girl: Goodness, what lovely diamonds!
Maudie: Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie.

Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) in Goodfelllas:
Tommy: I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh? I’m here to f****** amuse you? Waddya mean “funny”? Funny how? How am I funny?

Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) and Col. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) in A Few Good Men:
Col. Jessep: You want answers?!
Lt. Kaffee: I want the truth!
Col. Jessep: You can't handle the truth!

"Open the pod bay doors HAL."

"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."


Hal had a lot of great quotes, it was all in the delivery really. I Love Hal's voice, shame the actor passed away last year. That reminds me, I haven't watched "Odyssey" yet in 2019. Time to put it on. I'm not tired of that film yet! :)
