You can find these films on your movie channels via satellite TV.
Many of this films are of all around greatness, so you might want to record them on your DVR for some prime HD viewing.
Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz and her 'There's no place like home' speech: Of course everyone knows this-- "But it wasn't a dream.
It was a place.
And you and you and you...
and you were there.
But you couldn't have been could you? No, Aunt Em, this was a real truly live place and I remember some of it wasn't very nice, but most of it was beautiful -- but just the same all I kept saying to everybody was "I want to go home," and they sent me home! Doesn't anybody believe me? Oh Auntie Em! There's no place like home!".
The speech is quintessential, it expresses everything we love about home.
Moreover, The Wizard of Oz is a screen classic.
The Usual Suspects- Keyser Soze aka Roger "Verbal" Kint's speech about Keyser Soze: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist...
Nobody's ever seen him since.
He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night...
Well, I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze".
Kevin Spacey plays the perfect criminal in this film.
The whole Keyser Soze spiel is ingenious.
You can catch this film playing every now and then on your satellite TV movie channels.
Clerks-an anonymous customer's anti-smoking diatribe: Do we actually have to throw hard-earned dollars on a counter and say, 'Please, please, Mr.
Merchant of Death, sir; please tell me something that will give me bad breath, stink up my clothes, and fry my lungs'.
Director Kevin Smith has quite the ear for dialogue.
This smoking invective is sarcastic, it's a little bit nutty, and it's catchy.
Pulp Fiction- The path of a righteous man based loosely on Ezekiel 25:17 as spoken by Sam Jackson's character, a hit man, Jules Winnfield: "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.
Blessed is he, who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
" This passage is spoken with true bravado.
Great execution on Sam J's part- it's moving, as only an assassin's words can be.
If you haven't seen Pulp Fiction, do; it's likely to be on satellite TV and you can also buy it in HD.
Schindler's List- Amon Goethe's (Ralph Fiennes) speech on the extermination of the Krakow Jews: "Today is history.
Today will be remembered.
Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day.
Today is history and you are part of it.
Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Kazimierz the Great, so called, told the Jews they could come to Krakow.
They came.
They trundled their belongings into the city.
They settled.
They took hold.
They prospered in business, science, education, and the arts.
They came here with nothing.
Nothing! And they flourished.
For six centuries, there has been a Jewish Krakow.
Think about that..
" Stirring stuff this piece of work.
It definitely makes you think.
