Molly over at The Bumbles decided this week’s movie topic should revel in all things victorious. Share on your blog movies focusing on champions, victories and winners.
Well, here are my choices. What do you think?
1.Love this man who is all heart.
2. Love basketball and this story of the underdog.
3. Cleveland rising from the cellar with hilarity (we could use a little of this now!).
4. There’s no crying in baseball.
5. Ralph Macchio, where are you?
Hey, my list has five different sports, sort of. Which is kind of funny since I’m not even a baseball fan. Do you have a favorite?
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and one of my favorite movies is about one man’s struggle to get home for Thanksgiving (it’s #1). So, I thought I’d feature some other movies that featured theday for giving thanks. See if you can identify these movies by their quotes or stills. Leave the # and your answer. No googling. That’s cheating and no fun!
Neal: What’s the flight situation? Del: Simple. There’s no way on earth we’re going to get out of here tonight. We’d have more luck playing pickup sticks with our butt-cheeks than we will getting a flight out of here before daybreak. Neal: I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Del: Yeah, but by the time the airline cancels this flight, which they will sooner or later, you’d have more of a chance to find a three-legged ballerina than you would a hotel room.
Neal: Are you saying I could be *stuck* in Wichita? Del: I’m saying you *are* stuck in Wichita.
2. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Adele: I’m giving thanks that we don’t have to go through this for another year. Except we do, because those bastards went and put Christmas right in the middle, just to punish us. (picture Anne Bancroft saying this)
3. Pieces of April– Calila
April: [discussing old-fashioned turkey shaped salt and pepper shakers that Bobby bought] We had these when I was a kid.
[pause] The one time Joy let me hold them she said, “Be careful, they’re worth more than you are.”
Bobby: Well, that’s terrible.
April: Next year they were gone. Bobby: So, what happened? April: A hammer I was holding fell on them. (picture Mrs. Tom Cruise)
Dutch: Listen you little son of a bitch, you could’ve killed someone with a stunt like that. That poor bastard was on his way home to see his family and because you wanted to play some kind of a spoiled brat prank, you put his life in jeopardy. Now what gives you the right to do that? Doyle: I guess I didn’t think about that. Dutch: Well you better start thinking about a little something else besides your own spoiled ass! I took on this idiotic assignment because I love your mother. I gotta wonder how nuts I am. Man I’ve met some scum in my life but you beat all, man, you are absolutely worthless. You know what, this is a full blown mission, you’re not gonna beat me. I’ve had my head split open, my nose mashed, I’ve been kicked and beat and left for dead, and when I set you on your mama’s doorstep, you’re gonna be one whipped little puppy.

10.Son-In-Law– Calila
Walter: Lets chow down and munch on some grindage!
(picture Lane Smith. Don’t know him? Pauley Shore is also in this one)
