That one's in color.... Oh yeah you're a dog... Sorry.  :D

How about Earth vs the Flying Saucers? That's a great old black and white scifi flick.

There really are just too many to mention. But since it's my all time favorite movie, I'm going to have to go with "The Philadelphia Story."

"Whiskey is a slap on the back.... Champagne is a mist before my eyes..."

"I know a recipe that's said to pop the pennys off the eyes of dead Irishmen"

"Oh, and the night that you got drunk on champagne and climbed out on the roof and stood there, NAKED, with your arms out to the moon, wailing like a banshee"

And Dinah stole every scene that she was in.

Man... I love that movie. It actually makes me happy when I watch it.

Schindler's list  :angel:

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Except for "Psycho", I can't think of any that were b&w.  My mind's eye has them all in color.

Great movie. Ton of great lines in it.

Also about the best, most accurate description of what its like to be a man dealing with a woman I've ever heard

Charlie Anderson: It's no easy job, Sam, to take care of a woman.
Lt. Sam: No, sir.
Charlie Anderson: They expect things they never ask for. And when they don't get them, they ask you why. Sometimes they don't ask... and just go ahead and punish you for not doing something you didn't know you were supposed to do in the first place.

Also contains one of the better prayers I've ever heard.

Charlie Anderson: Lord, we cleared this land. We plowed it, sowed it, and harvest it. We cook the harvest. It wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be eating it if we hadn't done it all ourselves. We worked dog-bone hard for every crumb and morsel, but we thank you Lord just the same for the food we're about to eat, amen.

Just a movie full of great quotes

I'm just watching this today as I read this thread.  Add another quote to the list:

"I never saw the state come around with a spare tit when I was raising them!"

Also love Winchester '73 - heck I love ust about any movie with Jimmy Stewart in it!

Way too many to pick just one.

Any of the Marx Brothers films up to Night at the Opera for good laughs

Lots of good Westerns. Fort Apache,  Darling Clementine, Destry Rides Again,  Ox Bow Incident is a great film too.

Casablanca, Maltese Falcon with Bogie.  Sahara is a guilty pleasure with Bogie and the tank that never runs out of gas.

Battleground, Best Years of our Lives for WW2 era stuff.  Air Force is my guilty pleasure WW2 aviation film with the B17C "Mary Ann' that wins WW2 by itself.

Philadelphia Story, It Happened One Night for the romantic comedy stuff. 

The list goes on and on.
