Movie lines I love:






[Kinder has just finished a psychiatric evaluation of Reisman's troops]
MAJOR JOHN REISMAN: So what does that give you?
CAPT. STUART KINDER: Doesn't give me anything. But along with these other results, it gives YOU just about the most twisted, anti-social bunch of psychopathic deformities I have ever run into! And the worst, the most dangerous of the bunch, is Maggott. You've got one religious maniac, one malignant dwarf, two near-idiots... and the rest I don't even wanna think about!
MAJOR JOHN REISMAN: Well, I can't think of a better way to fight a war.
CAPT. STUART KINDER: These people don't know their enemy is the Germans. They think the enemy is their own United States Army!
MAJOR JOHN REISMAN: Maybe that's because the Germans haven't done anything to them yet. 
-from The Dirty Dozen (1967)

I never went in for embroidery, just results.

-from The Dirty Dozen (1967), spoken by Major John Reisman

Very pretty, General. Very pretty. But, can they fight? 

-from The Dirty Dozen (1967), spoken by Pinkley [impersonating a general]

    Pixies~ Oh, definitely that one! What a great film, too. :)

    Owen~ It was noisy and gritty but I recall laughing so much at some scenes. I need a good belly laugh and wish I had the movie hanging around the house.
