Adam

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Music Box Theatre, Chicago (Sept. 21, 2018)
Ebertfest - Virginia Theatre, Champaign - Urbana, Ill. (April 23, 2005)
Pulp Fiction - Billy Joe’s Pitcher Show - Des Moines, Ia. (Summer 1995)
Tombstone - Capitol II, Newton, Ia. (January 1993)
Star Wars: A New Hope - Drive-In, Grinnell, Ia. (Summer circa 1978-80*)

*Actually, it was almost certainly summer 1980 or 1981. Perhaps even a double feature with “Empire”? Confirmed that Christmas ‘81 was when I got the Falcon for Christmas.

4. “With so much at stake, all you can think of is your own feelings.” (CASABLANCA)

5. “Take me to Pleasure Town.” // “Oh, we’re going there.” (ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY)

DAVE CHEN OF /FILMCAST

1. “Neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. I mean, how could they know that because of their little dance the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do, something large and magnificent happens.” (ADAPTATION.)

2. "Kelsey, in this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make.” (BOJACK HORSEMAN)

3. “I wish I knew how to quit you.” (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN)

4. “I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or, who I’m gonna meet, where I’m gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people.” (TITANIC)

5. “Well, whatever you do, however terrible, however hurtful, it all makes sense, doesn't it? In your head. You never meet anybody that thinks they're a bad person." (THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY)
