    I tend to find myself laughing at the more subtle jokes in movies that go-over alot of peoples heads. I suppose I read-into more stuff, but that's ok. Movies like SUNSET BLVD are humorous to me for some of the in-jokes about the movie industry, same with BOWFINGER, so here's a line from that film:

    Robert K. Bowfinger: Do you have any experience in motion pictures?

    Jiff Ramsey: Uh, well, yeah, quite a bit, actually, I have quite a bit of experience. I'm an active, uh, renter at Blockbuster, and I, um, attend the filmed cinema, uh, as much as possible, weekly, bi-weekly, inter-week-... intermediately.

    Robert K. Bowfinger: Would you be willing to cut your hair?

    Jiff Ramsey: [sighs] Oh, yes, but, uh, it's usually better if someone else does it. I've had a few... accidents.

    Sorry for the language.

    Being an ex-service (Army) man I often find humor in the lines that flow from the mouths of Drill Sergeants or Drill Instructors as they're called in the Marines. They are the most profane, foul mouthed despicable individuals God in his/her infinate wisdom ever placed on this earth but they are also essential. All free nations need "bright legions" and these men and women take civilians and turn them into soldiers. The best of these movies was Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket". The first half of the movie is so true to boot camp I can't watch it without squirming in my seat, but the lines... ahh those are friggin' priceless!

    What is this Worf? Quoting funny lines from a movie, or walking down the memory lane

    I really liked that movie, but only the first half of movie in the training camp. The movie seem to lose momentum once they are in Vietnam. I wished the latter part was as aggressive as the first part.

    But nevertheless, the line from Hartman “I want that head so sanitary and squared away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in there and take a dump!” is a memorable one.

    One of the most common criticisms of FULL METAL JACKET is that the first half doesn't seem to match up with the second half of the film, but I feel a bit different about it. First, Stanley Kubrick's approach is different than what had been done before by ...oh let's say Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW or Cimino's THE DEER HUNTER. Instead Kubrick wanted to make a film that was realistic, yet artistic in it's depiction of war, even the horrific and beautiful moments.

    The first half of the film is certainly more memorable as we are taken into the world of boot camp. It's rough, gritty, dirty, and real. We are (as the camera moves suggest) almost witnessing the action as if WE are there with those guys. We watch with shock, we laugh at times, and are scared at times as to what happens or will happen next.

    Then we transition into the actual war part of the film, which is slower in pace than most war films are. It's not about the confrontation of war, but the patience of war, or as some have put it...the FOG of war. In many ways the second part of the film reminds me of Peter Davis' HEARTS AND MINDS (1974), which to this day is probably the most profound documentary made on War, especially Vietnam.

    The fact that the second part of FULL METAL JACKET is not as aggressive as the first part, or as aggressive as other war films is, to me at least, what distinguishes it apart from the rest as a film that dares to be different, perhaps more realistic at the nature of war, and also manages to be both beautiful and horrorible at the same time.

    Not a line per se, but one of the funniest scenes in movie history is Peter Boyle as Frankenstein's monster in Young Frankenstein singing "Puttin' on the Ritz."
