Lance Schroeder: So there are two loose heads just floating around here someplace? Watson Pritchard: You can hear them at night, they whisper to each other, and then cry.
Yes "House on Haunted Hill" was pretty good. And they used the same cool Frank Lloyd Wright house that was later used in Blade Runner for the exterior shots. The house almost got torn down in 2005 but has since been restored.
Good ol' William Castle "B" movie but was sort of a waste of Vincent Prices talents, you could almost see him cringing as he did his lines...

Leader of the Dead: Good evening, Dr. Acula. We have been expecting you. Karl: Who are you? Leader of the Dead: You ask who we are, yet it was you who called for our return. Karl: This is impossible! I hired actors to play the dead. You're not my actors!

A no. 1: <At the end of the movie, A No. 1 throws Cigarette off of the train, into a pond, and shouts to him from the train> Hey kid you got no class. Hit the bums, kid. Run like the devil. Get a tin can and take up mooching. Knock on back doors for a nickel. A no. 1: Tell them your story. Make 'em weep. You could have been a meat-eater, kid. But you didn't listen to me when I laid it down. A no. 1: Stay off the tracks. Forget it. Its a bum's world for a bum. You'll never be Emperor of the North Pole, kid. You had the juice, kid, but not the heart and they go together. You're all gas and no feel, and nobody can teach you that, not even A-No.1. So stay off the train, she'll throw you under for sure. Remember me for that. So long, kid.

Mandrake: Jack... Jack, listen, tell me, ah... when did you first become, well, develop this theory.
Ripper: Well, I ah, I I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.
Mandrake: (sighs fearfully)
Ripper: Yes a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I was able to interpret these feelings correctly: loss of essence.
Mandrake: Yes...
Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women... women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.
Well, I never SAW the movie "Easy A" but my friend's daughter just posted this as her FB status, from that movie—-and I thought it was awesome. (because, you know, I grew up then)
"Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie. But no, no, John Hughes did not direct my life."
-Easy A
It looked like a funny movie. I'll probably catch it on Netflix.
