"Fix the cigarette lighter."
"Disco pants and haircuts."
"I hate Illinois Nazis."
"We're on a mission from God."
"Three orange whips."
"We have both kinds, country and western."
"One prophylactic... soiled."
"We're on a mission from God."
"We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark out, and we're wearing sunglasses."
And on and on. Perhaps the only movies more quotable than BB are Caddyshack and Airplane.

It's a great scene, but it will mean a whole lot more for me after the upcoming film.

Guys- the Phoebe Cates (sp?) scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. You know which one I am reffering to. Enough said?

Just to keep up my reputation for joining in on threads that are pretty well played out......
About 40 posts ago someone said Conan's first words were Crom, a common misconception but actually they were " To see your enemies run before you and hear der lamentations of their vomen folk". And now I gather he is governing one of your states, oh deary, deary me....
Oh, while I am here, it may not have been in the 80's but The Woman in Red, not a great film but when she looks into Gene Wilders eyes and says "you've dreamt about this for a long time, well now it's really happening" I just KNEW she meant me! Damn, Ive forgotten her name, my ideal fantasy woman and Ive forgotten her name. Does this just happen as you get older or am I being punished for something?

You're trying to remember Kelly LeBrock-also known as the Weird Science woman.

Uh, actually it was... Warlord - " Conan!! What is best in life?"
Conan - "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women."
If you were talking about the film, that is. "Crom!" was the 2nd thing he said in the movie. and the 3rd of course was, " Snakes!! Did you say snakes?!" Yeah, I've watched it a couple times.

What a result! I have been reminded of my fantasy womans name (well, something to shout out, when, er, lets move on) and confirmation of Conans first words! I, of course meant Governor Schwarneggers first words. But it still a comfort to think someone else has watched the film often enough to remember these things. A truly great movie. As I have said before, Dustin Hoffman is an infinitely better actor, but would you have had him to play Conan? The answer is NAH!
I thank you all

Oh, well......I know this is old thread, but just now I watched one movie of 1985. If you saw this opening title, you will know surely this is movie of 1980s.
Director is William Friedkin. This movie reminded me of his best movie, French Connection. Car chase scenes were GREAT!
Car chase at opposite car lane, that's my favorite scene.
Casting is also wonderful. William Petersen as Federal agent. Yeah, now he has popular character, Grissom in CSI. But this movie was 1985. He was young and slim.
Willem Dafore as a false bank notes maker. His bad guy role has no mercy, weird and captivating. He has always overriding impression.
And other actors, John Turturro, Dean Stockwell, they were good, too.
Another factor of 80s. That all music and songs are Wang Chang.
Oh......I love 80s!
Actually, some day I will go to video rental store, and I'll rent this video. Because, I saw it on TV, and TV air time was 2 hour. But this movie is 116 min. So, about 30 min were deleted.
BTW, this Japanese title was "LA 大捜査線 狼たちの街" (LA great investigations; Wolves's Town)....Does it make a sense?

Kenji, I saw this movie in the theater in 1985 and loved it. I need to see it again. Thanks for the reminder! I've added it to my Netflix queue.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

To Live and Die in LA is one of my favorite films. The DVD is very good, there is a "making of" featurette and an alternative ending that was made at the studio's behest that was (thankfully) never used (Spoiler deleted - my bad, Maggers!). Amazing film.
One of the girls that Willem Dafoe procures for his girlfriend is "Daphne Moon" from "Frasier", BTW.
Most of the film was filmed around San Pedro (southern LA), I remember a lot of the places.
The novel it was based on was by Gerald Petievich, an ex-Secret Service agent who wrote a lot of very good hard-boiled fiction - read his "Earth Angels" if you can find it. "Boiling Point" was another film adaptation of a Petievich novel that wasn't too bad.
Peterson was also very good as an FBI agent in "Manhunter", the first Hannibal Lector film (and one I think was better than the remake with Anthony Hopkins...Brian Cox was a far superior Lector.)
