Journeys in the form of words
"Destiny. It belongs to the underdogs."- Dick Vermeil (American Underdog) I thought, for my 100th post, I would return to the movie that started this journey toward inspirational quotes from movies. American Underdog is not my all-time favorite movie, but I would be lying if I said I didn't think about it almost every day. …
"You want to see a miracle? Be the miracle."- God (Bruce Almighty) That is right. I am hitting everyone with another Jim Carrey movie. Why? Because I chose it that is why. Bruce Almighty was another one of his projects that was one of his better comedy movies that ended up morphing into a story …
"The world's a playground. You know that when you are a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it."- Allison (Yes Man) I was not expecting such a profound movie when I walked into the theater to see Yes Man for the first time. It is a Jim Carrey movie. Yes, I know that …
"Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it."- Professor Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2) This, in my opinion, is one of the most important movie series in cinematic history. It was such a big part of my life, …
"You must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man."- Abraham Erskine (Captain America: The First Avenger) The first time I saw Captain America: The First Avenger was when I was returning to my base when my deployment was concluded. We were in Qatar …
"I only speak two languages. English, and bad English."- Korben Dallas (The Fifth Element) Remember back when Bruce Willis had hair? Good times. I also remember the first time I saw this movie. So weird. So very weird. And so amazing. The Fifth Element was one of those movies that make you think about what …
"There's a point at 7,000 RPM where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. It just disappears. All that's left, a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM, that's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up near you, and it asks you a question. The only question that really matters. Who …
"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."- Bruce Wayne (Batman Begins) I grew up loving Batman and while yes, there have been some negative views regarding certain Batman actors in the past, it is still one of the coolest franchises around. Michael Keaton is one of the most beloved …
"We have to show the world that not all of us are like him. Otherwise, this will always be Hitler's Germany."- Major General Henning von Tresckow (Valkyrie) Valkyrie is another movie that you would not expect from Tom Cruise. It wasn't action-packed, no death-defying stunts, no romantic twists, and like any movie based on a …
"Just keep swimming."- Dory (Finding Nemo) Time for some light-hearted entertainment. Finding Nemo was not what I was expecting, but it is one of those movies that ends up being even better than anticipated. I am not quite sure what I expected the first time I saw this movie, but what a trip it was. …
