"Coffee is for closers only"...Just some humor...I'm bored

[johnd24_42]

I'm new here, so I thought I'd take the time to explain at least a little about my signature. How about the "Coffee is for closers" part.

Has anyone here seen Glengarry Glen Ross, starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey, Alan Arkin and Alec Baldwin? Well, this is where it is from, and is one of my five all-time favorite films. This might set off a movie debate and well...that might not be such a bad thing! I figured, this is an off topic forum, so I hope that this thread isn't shot down too much. Just bored, so I thought I'd put this up and see what the reactions are...if any.

'Blake', played by Alec Baldwin, telling 'Shelly Levine', played by Jack Lemmon, to "put...that coffee...down", that "coffee is for closers only".

Well, thanks for that reaction, Pop!

Unfortunately I've only seen bits and pieces of the movie. But I can definitely understand that line.


And we do have movie discussions from time to time. It's probably been about two weeks or so since are last one. ;)


So what are your four other favorites?

[johnd24_42]

Here are my other four favorites, in no particular order...

[johnd24_42]

what is your favorite or favorites, Robin?

[Rockin Robin]

Oooh, I have so many. I'm definitely an old movie buff.

Almost anything Bogart, Jimmy Stewart, or Cary Grant (except Westerns).

I'm a huge Hitchcock fan, and Billy Wilder.

Singin In The Rain
Gone With The Wind
The Princess Bride
High Anxiety
Animal House

So many others that I can't think of right now. I just *love* old movies.

Hehe, don't hate me, but you seemed to have great taste in films...until you listed specifics! Bogart, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Billy Wilder, Hitchcock...hard to go wrong there.

But then, Princess Bride and Gone With the Wind?? nooooooo!

Ah well, at least we can agree, more than likely, on old movies not named Gone With the Wind!

[Rockin Robin]

Hey, Princess Bride has a huge following on this site. Don't be dissing it too loudly!!


But give me a choice between that and, say, To Catch A Thief, Bride goes bye-bye!

[johnd24_42]

yeesh. I guess I'll have to turn the other cheek when those discussions come up!

[PopTop]

Ah, but nothing beats Dr. Strangelove :freak: Except the doomsday device.

[johnd24_42]

now Dr. Strangelove is a movie!!!!

[Rockin Robin]

I don't think I ever saw it. I know, shame on me.


This evening while at my cousin's, I thought of another great great movie. Now I can't remember what it was. :ugh:

[~*TiGeRs f@N*~]

Princess Bride Rocks!!!!!!! My fave movie!!!!

I also like Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby and Fred Astair. Love that movie! I love anything Bing Crosby does! :clap2:

[PirateNut]

"Dude Where's My Car"! Now that's a movie!!! :D

[Rockin Robin]

:hmm: Paul, darling, you're waaaaay too old to be liking those kinds of movies.


Jen, I too love Holiday Inn.



I still can't remember what movie I was thinking of yesterday. But Roman Holiday is another good one. How could you go wrong with Carey Grant and Audrey Hepburn! Arsenic and Old Lace is another great one!

[johnd24_42]

Definitely impossible to go wrong with Cary Grant. How about His Girl Friday ?

[RockinRobin62LI]

My Man Godfrey is anoth great movie.

[johnd24_42]

Robin...great one there. You can't top William Powell and Carole Lombard. 'My Man Godfrey' is truly one of the greats.

[Rockin Robin]

I could watch that one over and over and over. They just don't make them like that any more. It was quite risque for its time. Lots and lots of double entendres!

[Rockin Robin]

Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang :bigsquare :bigsquare

[Nymet31]

Who dares knock The Princess Bride??????:angry:



everyone loves the Princess Bride??? How can you not?:umm

[rockin500]

dr. strangelove was a great movie. i remember watching that in my HS US History class.

[johnd24_42]

Any history class that would have showed me Dr. Strangelove would have been my immediate favorite of all time.

Oh...and count me among the critics of Princess Bride. Cute movie, but can't ever be included among great films like Dr. Strangelove or My Man Godfrey for instance.

[Rockin Robin]

mmmm.....can't argue with that last statement. Definitely great, but not what one would call a classic.

Of course he needs to work on it to reach the ultimute weirdness where you can act normal and have people think your weird.
