Ten On Tuesday

October 27, 2009 By Carole

sunset at king richards faire

You’ll have to wait another day to see my pictures from King Richard’s Faire because today is Tuesday and the topic is a positive one. 10 Favorite Movie Moments.

1. When Harry Met Sally. No, not the scene when she fakes the orgam. That one is good but I love the scene when she orders the pie. On the side is a very big thing with Sally.

2. Fargo. I love all the scenes with Marge but especially the one where she encourages her husband about winning the 2¢ duck stamp. “People always buy the little stamps when they raise the price, doncha know.”

3. Gone With The Wind. Again, there are many moments I love in this movie but I guess my favorite would have to be when Scarlet is eating barbecue surrounded by all her beaus.

4. Steel Magnolias. My absolute favorite moment in this movie is near the end when Sally Field is at the cemetary and so upset about her daughter dying. And she is going on and on about wanting to hit something because she is so angry. Olympia Dukakis pushes Shirley MacLean right in front of Sally Field and cries, “Here! Hit this!” It’s such a great way to break the tension and everyone starts laughing.

5. Shrek. Ogres are like onions.

6. Casablanca. The scene at Rick’s when the French outsing the Germans. Of course, there’s also a great scene in When Harry Met Sally when they discuss Casablanca and Sally is saying that Ilsa made the right choice when she stuck by Laszlo because she got to be the “first lady of Czechoslovakia.” It’s a riot.

7. An Officer And A Gentleman. I wouldn’t be a romantic if I didn’t love the ending when Richard Gere comes in and carries Debra Winger out of the factory. I can’t watch it without blubbering.

8. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This has to be one of the most quotable movies ever. “Help! Help! I’m being repressed!” And of course, “How do you know he’s a king? Because he hasn’t got shit all over him.”

9. Rebecca. The part where Mrs. Danvers is encouraging poor Joan Fontaine (who never has a first name – you know that, right?) to jump out the window. That scene chills me to the bone.

10. The Princess Bride. You’re in the pit of despair! Cracks me up every time.

Now this is my kind of list. Fast and fun!

    Oh, that is a good thorough list. Makes me want to watch a few of them again. Love the Princess Bride and was so glad when our kids got to be the age to enjoy it – our son can quote the priest during the wedding “Mawage bwings us togather todaaaay”.

  2. Rowan says

    October 27, 2009 at 7:07 am

    I have to agree with quite a few of those too!

  3. Carol says

    October 27, 2009 at 7:31 am

    When Harry Met Sally is my all-time fav! Love all the older couples talking about their relationships, esp. the ones living on different floors of the same building. ‘We never met.’ I so want to watch that today now!!

  4. mahgene says

    October 27, 2009 at 7:48 am

    Good list! It’s amazing I’ve seen all the movies on your list, but back in the good old days I did like going to the theater.

  5. Sonya says

    October 27, 2009 at 7:51 am

    Great list! That French anthem scene in Casablanca always chokes me up.

  6. jill says

    October 27, 2009 at 7:53 am

    Great list! Just about any scene in Princess Bride puts me in stitches. My ultimate fav is the kiss in Dear Frankie – quiet little Scottish pic to put on your queue.

  7. Kristyn says

    October 27, 2009 at 8:34 am

    Great list. Whenever people tell me to be pleasant I say “I’m pleasant. Damn it! I saw Drum Eatenton this morning at the Piggly Wiggly, and I smiled at the son of a bitch ‘fore I couldn’t help myself. ” If they look at me like I’m crazy I know they aren’t worth the effort!

  8. Lucia says

    October 27, 2009 at 8:38 am

    Great list, but imho you missed the greatest moment of Holy Grail. (No, I’m not saying what it is, you’ll have to wait until I post it.)

    My favorite is from Waiting for Guffman, when Corky says, “What the city council did was really… give me a challenge, and it’s a challenge that I am going to accept. It’s like in the olden days, in the days of France, when men would slap each other with their gloves–say, y’know–”D’Artagnan!”–y’know, “how dare you talk to me like that, you!,” and then smack ’em!”

  10. Patty says

    Great list and great sky – it was on fire this morning! What a great way to start the day.

  11. Knitnana says

    October 27, 2009 at 8:58 am

    It WAS a fun list to do, wasn’t it? I agree with a few of your films, but different places as favorites…and I’d forgotten about Weezie being tossed in front of Sally Fields “Here, hit this!”
    lolol
    🙂

  12. Renee says

    October 27, 2009 at 9:18 am

    I love, love, loved #4!!!

  13. Norma says

    October 27, 2009 at 9:56 am

    Perhaps not surprisingly, a lot of your list coincides with mine. ESPECIALLY Fargo. I can never, ever get enough of that one, and it’s so much smarter and deeper than at first glance it appears. Another is The Usual Suspect. OMG! Others are more guilty pleasures, like The Saint and The Thomas Crowne Affair.

  14. Andrea says

    October 27, 2009 at 10:04 am

    “MaLynn, you just missed the chance of a lifetime. Half of Chenkapen Parish would give their eye teeth to take a whack at Ouiser!”

    “You are a pig from hell!”

    I love this list, though perhaps I would have put Sixteen Candles (Can I borrow your underpants for ten minutes?) and Ferris Bueller (Life moves pretty fast. If you’re not careful, it could pass you by.) on my own list.

  15. Andrea says

    October 27, 2009 at 10:05 am

    Oh, and by the way, Simply Socks Yarn Company has a new line of Simply Socks sock yarn, and two of the pink colors are blush and bashful. Makes my heart smile.

  16. jean says

    October 27, 2009 at 10:12 am

    It was so much fun reading your list and brought back those fun movie moments. A movie that I would have to include on my list is Young Frankenstein, there are so many moments from that movie, like when Frau Blucher states “Stay close to the candles – the staircase can be treacherous” (and of course – the candles are not even lit – tee hee). Great way to start my day.

  17. Lauren Ashley says

    October 27, 2009 at 10:21 am

    I agree with you so much! The Steel Magnolias moment ALWAYS makes me laugh through my tears!

  18. Martha says

    October 27, 2009 at 10:33 am

    Oh, but if I went ’round sayin’ I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away.

    Now have fun storming the castle!

  19. Hillary says

    October 27, 2009 at 11:00 am

    Not surprisingly I love all of the films on your list (except Rebecca which I’ve never seen) and we overlap a little. I was just thinking the other day that I’d like to watch Steel Magnolias again and I could see Fargo again too. It’s been way too long.

  20. Teyani says

    October 27, 2009 at 11:07 am

    So many movies I haven’t even seen.
    Ahhh yes.. Princess Bride.

  21. Carrie says

    October 27, 2009 at 12:03 pm

    I like Kristyn.
    Haven’t seen Rebecca but that scene in the audiobook was way creepy too. SM – I use that “you have the handwriting of a serial killer” line ALL the time.

  22. Mel says

    October 27, 2009 at 12:18 pm

    The “on the side” scene? That’s totally David.

    I think my favorite line from Steel Magnolias was – “Was she hurt?” “I doubt it. It hit her in the head.”

    I’m not sure I could quite manage a line-by-line recitation of Princess Bride, but I could come pretty close. “Anybody want a peanut?”

  23. Nora says

    October 27, 2009 at 12:36 pm

    What a hoot. Of course, I can actually say “don’tcha know” with a straight face, having been born to it and all. And? They have a medieval festival at my kids’ middle school. One of the activities is making a small catapult, which the kids then use in a tournament during which they launch tiny plastic cows. The kids don’t get why this is funny, but all the adults die laughing.

  24. kmkat says

    October 27, 2009 at 1:07 pm

    I was just thinking yesterday about how Cary Elwes didn’t seem to do much after The Princess Bride. Then I thought, If his contract included a piece of the video/DVD sales, he probably never needed to work again. Such a classic favorite that movie is.

  25. Vicki says

    October 27, 2009 at 1:51 pm

    That photo (breathtaking, by the way) coordinates wonderfully with your blog background!! Love your list. ; )

  26. Kelli says

    October 27, 2009 at 2:17 pm

    3, 5, 6, 8, and 10 would make my list too. Though I would also add: PS I Love You, Chicago, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (so funny), the Family Stone, and the Holiday.

  27. Lorette says

    October 27, 2009 at 2:59 pm

    That is just a perfect list. PB is my favorite movie of all time, though Holy Grail is right up there. Now I need to go watch them both again.

  28. Cookie says

    October 27, 2009 at 3:20 pm

    Wonderful list!

    Because he hasn’t got shit all over him is one of my all time favorite quotes!!

  31. Kathy says

    October 27, 2009 at 10:21 pm

    This is great! I’m working on my list!

  32. Sarah says

    October 28, 2009 at 2:27 am

    You have a good list. My brain is clogged up and unable to recall the good stuff because I keep getting sucked into hours of crappy horror movies on AMC.

  33. Angelia Reed says

    October 28, 2009 at 9:48 am

    Great list, Carole!

    That Steel Magnolias part is my favorite too. I am ALWAYS crying up until she says, “here, hit this” and then I start laughing. It doesn’t matter how many times I see that part, or how much I know it’s coming. I ALWAYS react to it!

  34. Lynne says

    October 28, 2009 at 12:42 pm

    oh, I LOVE those movies! Steel Magnolias? When Harry Met Sally? Laugh, cry, Laugh, Cry?
    And Fargo? It’s so dark, tragic and hysterical all at the same time.
    Gone with the Wind….”you deserve to be kissed and kissed often by someone who knows how.”

    Carole, did you post a granola recipe oh, so long ago? Was that you?

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
