more Spacey

Ok, so these are all the Spacey movies I've managed to see so far.
I suck at writing rewievs, so I'll reduce it to a word, or maybe a whole sentence..Wrote down some of my favourite quotes instead
Love:
American Beauty -absolutely beautiful
"It's OK, I wouldn't remember me either."
"1970 Pontiac Firebird. The car I've always wanted and now I have it. I rule! "
"Smile! You're at Mr. Smiley's. "
L.A. Confidential -brilliant, a wonderful cast and it has the best death scene ever
"Oh, great. You get the girl, I get the coroner. "
"Don't start trying to do the right thing boy'o, you haven't got the practice."
The Usual Suspects -excellent, notice something new everytime I watch it
"Hand me the keys, you fucking cocksucker."
"So who the goddamned piss-hell stole the fuckin' truck? "
"And like that... he's gone. "
K-Pax -I know it's not the greatest movie, but I just love it to pieces
"You know, for an educated person Mark, you repeat things quite a bit. Are you aware of that? "
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a beam of light to catch. "


Really like:
The Shipping News -Lovley, wonderful cast
"I’m not a water person."
"Up here, forget everything you thought you knew about the weather!"

Se7en - sick, twisted and wonderful
Mi
lls: What do you got?
Somerset : Dead dog.
John Doe : I didn't do that.
"Somebody, call somebody."
"Oh. He didn't know."
A Bug's Life -Funny. I'd pay a lot of money to watch the tape of Spacey recording the last scene.
"I'm a beautiful butterfly!"
"OVER HERE. I'M THE ONLY STICK WITH EYEBALLS."
"This is the fifteenth take. I can not work like this. I will be in my trailer."

Enjoy:
The Life of David Gale -
the scenes with Linney and Spacey together are great
"Socrates was ugly, Plato was fat, and, um, and Aristotle was a prissy dresser!"
"73% of all serial killers vote Republican"
"You fondle your friend’s garbage bags?"
Looking for Richard -very enjoyable cliff notes on Richard III
"We're getting forty dollars a day and all the donuts we can eat on this project."
"I'm confused just saying it to you, so I can imagine how you must feel hearing me talk. It's very confusing. I don't know why we even bother doing this at all."
The Ref -silly, hilarious christmas movie, but why all the drunk santa scenes?
"To be what? Somebody who takes photographs of lutefisk to prove the nothingness of being"
"Humans have feelings. Didn't your alien leaders TELL you that before they SENT you here?"

Swimming with Sharks -has lot's of flaws, but it's very entertaining. Spacey is terrific
"You're happy. I hate that!"
"You are nothing! If you were in my toilet I wouldn't bother flushing it. My bathmat means more to me than you!"
Glengarry Glen Ross -brilliant actors get to show how good they are
"Will you go to lunch? Go to lunch. WILL you GO to LUNCH? "
"You stupid fucking cunt. Hey, Williamson, I'm talking to you, shithead. You just cost me $6,000. Six thousand dollars, and one Cadillac. That's right. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it, asshole? You're fucking shit. Where did you learn your trade, you stupid fucking cunt, you idiot? Who ever told you that you could work with men? "
The United States of Leland -Interesting, great acting, Jena Malone is terrific, but I can't stand Lena Olins accent..
Lady: Excuse me. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you. But aren't you an actor
A.Fitzgerald: Aren't we all dear
Lady: No no no I mean a famous actor. You know, a movie star actor. I know you face
A.Fitzgerald: I was in Stanley Cubricks musical, the one about the alcoholic pirates. I played Captain Morgan

OK:
Hurlyburly -blablabla, but enjoyable blablabla
"No, I know what I'm saying. I don't know what I mean, but I know what I'm saying. Is that what you mean?"
"I am my own biggest distraction."
The Negotiator -too long, but the scenes between Spacey and Jackson are great. And of course- J.T. Walsh - brilliant
"I once talked a guy out of blowing up the Sears Tower but I can't talk my wife out of the bedroom or my kid off the phone. "
"Why d'you always pick on me? I mean, who am I, Charlie Brown? "
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil -facinated by that part of USA, is it really voodo country down there? Spaceys eyes seems pitch black in this one. I need a bigger tv..
"This place is fantastic; it's like "Gone With The Wind" on mescaline. I, I know your my agent. Listen to me. They walk imaginary pets here, Garland---on a fucking leash. Alright? And they're all heavily armed and drunk. New York is boring"
"Livin' here pisses off all the right people. "
The Big Kahuna -blablabla....blablabla.. Jesus... Lubricant...blablabla. Great acting though.
"Did you mention perhaps, what line of industrial lubricants Jesus would have endorsed?"
"Sorry, the carrot stick’s gone to my head."

A Time to Kill -your typical 'Grisham novel made into a movie'.
Rocket Gibraltar - let's set gradpa on fire... I woudn't trust 10 year olds to decide whether or not a person is dead... But it was a sweet little movie.
"Nothing's as good as a midnight pee in the ocean"
"They're going to put tomatoes on yo-yos so they can hit me twice."

Austin Powers in Goldmember -just not a big fan of these movies, although they are funny at times.
"Hey you assholes. I'm Mini-Me."

Don’t like:
Pay it Forward - cry goddammit! Cry I say!
Arlene : Jesus, you are really somethin'.
Eugene : Thanks. I appreciate the euphemism. I always wanted to be somethin'.

Outbreak -notice how, in the simulation, the virus didn't cross the mexican or canadian borders?
"It’s an adverb. It’s a lazy tool of a weak mind."
Doomsday Gun
-interesting story told in an unbelivable boring way
Duvall: You want some gatorade?
Price: No thanks, I've sworn off
Duvall: Is that a joke? I don't like jokes. I don't understand them
Ordinary Decent Criminal -enjoyable at times, but very forgettable - can't remember much of it..
Iron Will -maybe when I was 10..
"Holy Chicago!"
Consenting Adults -could have been interesting, but it's not

Henry & June - Incredible boring. What am I missing, why are so many people loving this movie?

See No Evil, Hear No Evil - well if you like Wilder and Pryor movies. I don't. It's so 80s, so silly, and what is that thing on spacey's face?
