Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: Name That Movie!
I know this one, (I'm a big fan of the guy who starred in it) if no one gets it by later today, I'm going to go ahead and take it...

Re: Name That Movie!
Your image didn't show at first, Jim, but you got it correct.
The late Robert Shaw made a lot of damned good movies throughout his career. I would consider this to have been one of them.

What's the movie? Image isn't working for me even when I try accessing it directly.

Re: Name That Movie!
I completely agree Bill...The late Robert Shaw made a lot of damned good movies throughout his career.
A tribute post to the late great Robert Shaw:
One of the greatest soliloquies in the history of film, (allegedly he was loaded when he did this one, but Robert Shaw drunk was still far better than most actors sober):
And a superb performance in a completely different role in The Battle Of The Bulge:
And of course his first performance as The Evil Henchman in From Russia With Love:
And another classic performance in The Sting:
And even in more mediocre films like Force 10 From Navarone, Shaw stood out with his dominating and comanding screen presence...
His worst movie was probably Custer of The West, but no one has ever played Custer well...(well, except of course for Richard Mulligan...
)He got his early training in the British theater tradition that has produced so many great actors...
His untimely death at 61 in 1978 was a great loss to cinema...

New film quote soon...

Dang Dale, that was quick.... 
I should have gone with the other quote I was thinking of using, it might have been a little tougher:

It's one of my all time favorites; I also have it on DVD, and we re-watched it a couple of days ago after Gene Wilder passed..."Gregor Samsa awoke one morning to discover that he had been transformed into a giant cockroach."
Re: Name That Movie!
How could you do this to me? I knew this was gonna happen.
You're right, .... I'm sorry. What can I say? I-I'm a miserable worthless hunk of slime. Here, I want you to take this crowbar and... just bash my head right in! Go ahead. Really. Please! Just BASH it right in!
........, you know I can't do that. You still owe me five bucks.

Whoever said that really understands the feeling one gets after reading a rubato post...Here, I want you to take this crowbar and... just bash my head right in! Go ahead. Really. Please! Just BASH it right in!

That sounds like David Mamet: "American Buffalo"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2319941/syn ... _=tt_ov_plIn the space of three weeks from mid November to early December 1912, a 29 year old unknown Czech author wrote the short story of travelling salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning after fretful dreams to find himself mutated into a verminous insect of grotesque proportions.
I didn't know that line from The Producers was a reference to a real play...I had always assumed that Brooks had just made it up...
You learn something new every day...
Re: Name That Movie!
It's a novella, not a play - and one of the seminal works of western literature. You should consider an afternoon devoted to reading it - much better than current political coverage anyway!
I'm very fond of poor Gregor Samsa as I wrote a paper on The Metamorphosis in undergrad.
Here's this, too:

From the synopsis I read at IMDB, it looks just about as depressing...
