I put this in random, but then thought it might be good for a thread -- guess which character said to another an interesting or telling line and in what movie. To start, from one of my more favorite movies: You look pretty good without your shirt on. Sight of that through my kitchen window made me put down my dishtowel more than once.

The only movie that popped to mind is Bridges of Madison County - Meryl Streep looks out her kitchen window at Clint Eastwood as he washes up, sans shirt. But I don't remember her actually saying anything about it. My quote - "Be afraid. Be very afraid" (I'm talking about the original use of this quote in a movie!)

Sporton, that's the movie that came to my mind as well but I don't think that is it because I don't think her character would have said that--thought it, yes, but not said it.

Be afraid... was from The Fly! There's a stage between man and fly where Jeff Goldblum goes through a very sexy phase. I've had a thing about him ever since.

Yeah, Kitt - That is correct!! I agree that the "shirtless" quote above does sound a little to forward for the Streep character in Bridges.

Um.... I only saw the movie once, and I hated it, but the only line I remember from Bridges was Streep, the morning after, "Do you want more eggs, or should we just f--- on the linoleum again?? The shirtless comment seems pretty tame, compared to that...

But the shirtless comment would have had to come before they began the affair, right after they meet and she was so nervous and he unaware that that particular comment would have accelerated everything or made it seem like just a regular roll in the hay kind of thing. The comment about the linoleum was made because she was hurt, confused, and mad and wondering if she was just one in a hundred women he has seduced rather than someone special as he was to her. She wanted him to know how degraded she felt and was trying to get his attention.

Haha, see, Westtexan? I only saw it once, and I was bored. to. tears. I was only taking the two lines in question, and when taken completely out of context, when you only look at them at face value, the first saucy comment seems pretty Jane Austen compared to the linoleum comment. But I've been known to forget key elements of a movie I saw just last night and loved, so...

totally understand, Karen. I remember it all so well because of my love for the book. It was one of those rare things where I connected with the book and so did two of my friends. We all were unbearably unhappy in our love lives (or marriages as the case may be) and were greatly affected by the book. We were at a pivotal point in our lives (turning 30) and much disallusionment had begun to set into our naive, hopelessly romantic belief system. I say naive because we all three believed the book was a true story). We felt foolish when we learned the truth but held onto the fond memories of how it made us feel and that love may still be out there for us so of couse, we had to rush out and see the movie. Anyway, those two friends and I bonded and became better friends because I guess we recognized a soulmate sister-kind of connection with each other. Now over ten years later, those are the only two friends from back then that I keep in touch with on a weekly basis.

Shame on me. Hadn't checked here in a while. Rosie, you got it!! Hud. Paul Newman, Patricia Neal, Brandon DeWilde. Good movie. And I'm not too much into older movies. Thank you, Mameblanche! I can't believe it's number . . . .
