I love when David and his team make their presentation for the airline commercial and they think they've nailed it and Cheryl Ann dryly asks "Do you have anything else?" David then replies, "Yes, but we're sticking with this, it's our strongest concept." I also love the duck hunting scene and when David makes his final choice between Cheryl Ann and being with Max for his surgery.
shareYes, the airline presentation is choice. I also love when Hanks is glad handing all his office staff, and his emotional connection to Bess Armstrong. This is a great Chicago movie as well. It's also one of my favorite Hanks films. I'm watching it right now on the WE channel!
shareAll of your choices are wonderful - especially the last Gleason line of course.
But I adore the "over credits" secenes at end....especially with the dour receptionist (secretary ?) that shows that David goes back to work, takes care of dad, and is up to his old tricks just like before.
Loved the movie, hated the sappy ending. Hanks had more funny lines in this film than in all of his others put together.
shareThe scene (and line) that hooked me when I first saw this movie, and knew then and there that Tom Hanks was going to become one of my favorite actors was when he and Charlie Gargas are at the pool with Charlie showing off his new toupee'. When David Basner utters "no, really it looks great, I want one", I just busted up. After 22 years, this is still one of my all time favorite movies and I drive my wife crazy constantly utter lines from it..."It's Max, Max Basner...your Father"......."Now that's a piece of meat"...."You were the best Bubba, the best so far"........"Good amoeba'ing"...........
shareThat's funny. I say that "I want one" line all the time, but I forgot where it came from. I also like the way he says, "Oh, it's you, Charlie." Also priceless is the line he says to Sela Ward when he first meets her: "I was just protecting my balls, as I'm sure you, at one time or another, have protected your own." Great stuff.
"She's, like, a biscuit older than me..."
I love when Gleason asks Hanks, "Are you with a woman ? Anyone YOU know ?"
Also, the whole duck hunting scene and the scene when Basner first meets Sela Ward. Wow she was gorgeous - and so bad and good at the same time....
The scene where he tells the client off is stellar Hanks; and of course, the scene with Gleason in the hospital after the operation and the "You were the last person I ever thought".....that always, always makes me cry.
I love when David and his team make their presentation for the airline commercial and they think they've nailed it and Cheryl Ann dryly asks "Do you have anything else?" David then replies, "Yes, but we're sticking with this, it's our strongest concept.
i liked the horse scene. i can chalk it entirely up to two things.... Sela Ward and my raging hormones. there's no doubt that 16 is an impressionable age.
