"To Have and Have Not" was just on TCM. That movie is full of great lines between Bogart and Bacall.
<Slim kisses Steve> Steve: What did you do that for? Slim: I've been wondering if I'd like it. Steve: What's the decision? Slim: I don't know yet. <They kiss again> Slim: It's even better when you help.
One of the most underrated movies I've seen in quite awhile...."The Holiday" (Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law).
The scene with Jude, Cameron and the two little girl actresses that play his daughters—-when they're all lying under the girls "tent" in their room, is perhaps one of the sweetest movie conversations I've ever heard. Very natural. Very tender. Very real. I wouldn't be surprised if some of it was ad-libbed.
Ronny Cammareri: Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and DIE. The storybooks are BULLSHIT. Now I want you to come upstairs with me and GET in my bed!
One of my FAV movie scenes EVAH!... "snap out of it"

"Goody" Nelson: You ever take biology in school, soldier? Jackie Willow: Yes, Sergeant-Major. "Goody" Nelson: How do worms copulate? Jackie Willow: They don't, Sergeant-Major; they use asexual reproduction. "Goody" Nelson: Mmmm-hmmmm! Interesting concept! Tell me, Willow - any idea who first came up with that notion: reproducing without sex? Jackie Willow: Your wife, Sergeant-Major?
Ernest Hemmingway:All men fear death. It's a natural fear that consumes us all. We fear death because we feel that we haven't loved well enough or loved at all, which ultimately are one and the same. However, when you make love with a truly great woman, one that deserves the utmost respect in this world and one that makes you feel truly powerful, that fear of death completely disappears. Because when you are sharing your body and heart with a great woman the world fades away. You two are the only ones in the entire universe. You conquer what most lesser men have never conquered before, you have conquered a great woman's heart, the most vulnerable thing she can offer to another. Death no longer lingers in the mind. Fear no longer clouds your heart. Only passion for living, and for loving, become your sole reality. This is no easy task for it takes insurmountable courage. But remember this, for that moment when you are making love with a woman of true greatness you will feel immortal.
I had wondered if this came from one of his actual quotes/books—-but from all the googling I've done, there are no reliable sources to prove it.
It doesn't sound like his style. His sentiments, maybe.

KATE: And what did you do with the people that you took - the kids?
KARL: We give them a better life.
KATE: Better than what?
KARL: Better than yours. There's not going to be any moon tonight. It'll be dark. Me and Alex used to lie in my backyard at night and think up names for the constellations. You can't see it yet, but right there will be Ursa Theodorus - the Teddy Bear.
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.
House on Haunted Hill is one of my favorites-classic Vincent Price!
