  • The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

    I have heard this quote from my first days in IT. Anytime the discussion centers around something we don't have, this comes to...

  • The Hunt for Red October (1990)

    In a recent Yammer discussion, a supervisor type person asked for feedback on an idea. While the easy (and possibly wise) thing to do would have been to keep my opinion to myself, I went a different...

  • Nothing But Net

    Somebody was going on and on the other day about how one thing affected another thing, and yet another thing. All I could think of was this old commercial where they are standing on the Sears tower...

  • Night Shift (1982)

    This movie has so many lines, I should probably create a separate page for it. It is some early Michael Keaton at his best. It wasn't easy to see Henry Winkler in this role, since he was the Fonz in...

    Have you ever asked somebody for something that was "time critical?". When I do, this clip comes to...

  • Crimson Tide (1995)

  • Bambi (1942)

  • A Few Good Men (1992)

    This is one of the best movies. It is chock-full of quotes. Because they stand on a wall "Because they stand on a wall" Watch the clip You Can't Handle the Truth! This clip is full of...
