The Bill Murray, Gena Davis bank robery film. Not a great movie, but I loved the bicycle jousting scene and Randy Quaid's reaction ("It's bad luck just to see something like that.")
Also, Murray saying to a construction worker "Thanks. You could have given me help, but you gave me so much more."
 
This may be the single most underrated, underseen movie of all time. I still blame it on the title, which doesn't explain anything, plus the picture of Bill Murray in a clown outfit that misled people regarding what the movie was about.
The cast is unbelievable, and all doing great work.
Tony Shaloub had his breakthrough into the business in this movie -- and never spoke a word of English.
 
Wow, never even heard of this film. I'll have to see if I can find it since I can no longer use Netflix because of my religion.

I thought he was talking about the group that appears at halftime of many NBA games.

And just made the finals of America's Got Talent, even though they've done the same tired act for each show. :/

They're kind of a one-trick pony. What else are they going to do?

Apparently, they said they have an hour-long act. Yet, they keep rehashing the same 90 second bit for the TV show.

Shame really, because Nathan Burton deserved to be in the finals.

Tremendous movie (and available on Netflix, I might add, since February).

In fact, I just rented it on Netflix and plan to watch it for the first time this weekend.
 
I don't know if, if, if you're deaf ... or just dumb.

First of all, don't ever call me dumb.

And the Russian girl weeps.





What drama!

Great side pic there Perry.
 
There are just so many great lines that the movie makes me laugh every time I watch it. It is probably my favorite comedy.

Bank Guard: "What kind of clown are you?
Bill Murray: "The crying on the inside kind I guess."

In one of the opening scenes as Murray, dressed as a clown walks down the New York street and past a strip club.
Barker: "Nuuuude Women. Nuuuude Women. Clowns welcome. Clowns welcome."

Murray to a hostage
"Who put you in charge Mr. Adolf Hitler."
"This isn't Russia. Is this Russia?"

Quade: "Is that our plane?"
Murray: "No if that was our plane, it would be crashing."

"Blufftony."

Murray to construction workers: "I want to thank you guys. You could have given us help, but you've given us so much more.

Chief Rotzinger: "At least give me the women."
Grimm: "Get your own women!"

Chief Rotzinger: "Listen, I've had just about enough of your comedy, clown. We're coming in through the plate glass."
Grimm: "Alright, I gotta hang-up now, because I gotta go kill everybody."

Bank Manager: "I want to thank you for getting us out alive. The owners of the bank want me to tell you not to expect any cooperation from them."
Chief Rotzinger: "Oh?"
Bank Manager: "And I think they're gonna kill you with the press, too. They say that if the clown gets away, they owe it to their shareholders to let the "abject humiliation" of this whole think fall on a public official."
Chief Rotzinger: "How many share holders are there?"
Bank Manager: "Ahh, just the three, I think."


I could go on all day.
 
I've never heard of this. It's now at the top of my Netflix queue. God, I love this place.
 
My favorite line, when Quaid is going nuts in the cab: "Whaddya got **** in your ears!!!"
 
Outstanding movie - very underrated. If you haven't seen it you should definitely check it out.
