A little off-topic, but would like to know yours.

Mine: Ty Cobb wanted to play, but we couldn't stand the son-of-a-bit(! when we were alive, so we told him to stick it - Field of Dreams.

    It's not really a quote, but I like the part in "Hoosiers" when they get to the state championship, and the coach has them measure the rim. Of course, it measures 10 feet, just like the rim back home.

    Frank:
    One of the neat details of that scene is how the kids all take off their street shoes before walking onto the court. That's how I was taught, too. Having been to well over 100 high school basketball games to watch my kid between 1998 and 2001, I cringed when I saw people walk on the court after the game with their street shoes on. There are many other period-correct details in Hoosiers, like the 6 foot free throw lane and (if you look closely) you can see that on many of the courts there are 2 ten-second lines. When they instituted the 10 second rule, a lot of the floors in small school gyms weren't long enough to accomodate, so they put in 2 lines--one that you had to cross within 10 seconds, and the second one, behind, that marked front court from back court. My favorite movie line is below. A close second is also from Bull Durham:
    "In the show, the women all have long legs and brains."
    "Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well."image
