I’m paraphrasing but this part is my favorite.
Ed:
Wait Frank! When Nordberg said “I Love You” he was trying to tell you the name of a ship.
Frank:
I realize that, now.
Yes, lol.
And Frank to Jane (from memory)-
"just coz you jilted me at the wedding (points at Ed)....he was in tears....howling like a baby!"
Ed-
"Frank, get a grip of yourself, for Christ's sakes!"
Virus (1980)
shareooh topical!
That is a good film!
I heard there's no copyright on it for some reason ...
I first caught it in a streaming channel and I haven’t looked into a DVD copy yet. I do know there are a couple of different versions out there.
shareI think i got my copy by downloading it from Archive.org or similar - it was allowed to live there to due its weird copyright situation
in fact here it is:

Cool Hand Luke with Guns of the Magnificent Seven a close second.
shareCool Hand Luke is excellent but I really like George Kennedy’s small bit memorable role in Shenandoah. As far as I recall it’s a single scene, but he makes it count.
Also very good: Lonely are the Brave, Charade, The Flight of the Phoenix, The Boston Strangler.
He was good everything! (Cool Hand Luke was his best, won a Oscar)
The only bad part was that Kennedy played essentially the same character in almost every movie. A loud, gregarious ox of a man.
I pretty sure it didn't happen, (I could be wrong) but I would have LOVED to see George Kennedy and Slim Pickens in a scene together!
