She/Her. I Love LA. I used to produce an internationally syndicated radio show about food/wine/spirits. Now I'm a crime novelist. New Haven Pizza Evangelist. Work + Links: linktr.ee/msemilyedwards
Network (1978) is my vote. Every line is quotable.
So many great ones in the comments, but my no. 1 of all time is criminally-underrated 80s comedy “Real Genius” Sorkin-esque patter way before his era and so full of wit. You have to watch it multiple times to catch everything.
Emily J. Edwards@msemilyedwards.bsky.social · 4h agowhat's the movie out there with the smoothest dialogue? like... hot damn, that was a great line (after line after line after line)?
Seven Year Itch also has some great lines albeit a very problematic plot
It feels trite to say but Casablanca.
HAIL, CAESAR was so amazing, I don't know why it didn't get way more love for the Cohen canon
David Avallone@davallone.bsky.social · 3h agoTrying to not repeat anything from the replies. SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS THE MALTESE FALCON (the dialogue is all Hammett) HAIL, CAESAR
no one is happier that LA has been straight 90* days quite like my basil plants
The Nice Guys A Fish Called Wanda Kiss Kiss Bang Bang The Thin Man Bringing Up Baby Postcards From The Edge
Kiss Me Kate is really good for this (of course it helps that it comes from a stage musical with an excellent script) Witness for the Prosecution (somewhat ditto, though a looser adaptation)
The Birdcage Clue The Thin Man How to Marry a Millionaire (Honestly here) White Christmas Oddly enough, Hook does this for me, except it occasionally grinds to a complete halt before picking back up again
what's the movie out there with the smoothest dialogue? like... hot damn, that was a great line (after line after line after line)?
Hey, friends-- if you have a few bucks to share, please do

How does a *de-commissioned* power line start the Eaton Fire? Like, we all know it did, but if it's de-commissioned, how does it spark? Or was it just, like, metallic friction?

balancing my extreme love for Dev Patel with not wanting that gorgeous man to experience the virulent hatred that would come his way if he was cast as Bond

i wonder how much of an overlap there is between kids who sneer at cringe but also listen to taylor swift because, kids...
Nine years ago I was on my honeymoon and man, if you'd asked me in 2017 what I thought the first ten years of my marriage would contain, I would not have guessed global pandemic, house fire, and Trump II.
