I can't do it, Shelly.

 

[Gronez_Bambatta]

In my all time top ten movies.

"FUCK YOU! THAT'S MY NAME"

 

[Lamont & Tonelli]

Every time I make a paux fas, Ricky Roma is right there in my head.

"You're fucking shit. Where did you learn your trade, you stupid fuckin' cunt, you idiot? Whoever told you that you could work with men?... You wanna learn the first rule? You'd know if you ever spent a day in your life. You never open you mouth 'til you know what the shot is. You fucking child."

"the machine? THE MACHINE?...FUCK THE MACHINE!!"

Ed Harris is an awesome weasley prick in this too

Precisely. First rule my pops taught me.

For me, Harris gives maybe the best performance in the whole thing along with Lemmon. Both capture desperation perfectly, though in very different ways.

Alan Arkin was great, too. ‘All I need is a lead…’

Jack Lemmon is a giant in this, possibly the best acting i've ever seen...actually gonna watch it right now

 

[Maxwell]

WWAWD Jim Norton talking about acting and this movie?

 

[DanMullenButNormal]

Just watched it last week, was a job really that important? Just walk out if some dick head talked to you like that

 

[Cuphead]

Great film.

 

[not that Jack Horner]

shooting directors is for closers

 

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

Jack Lemon is so good in this movie - you forget how great of an actor he was.

It's definitely a product of it's time. Back then even a schlub salesman working for a place like that could maintain a wife and kids and the house in the burbs. So these guys who are probably there because they are down on their luck are just trying to make enough to maintain that lifestyle l, whereas today a guy would be making shit, living in an apt so they'd just tell Williamson to cram it and key Blake's car on the way out because they have shit to lose


Even better is the scene later where he's dressing down Williamson and he accidentally lets slip he knows about the stolen leads, just the way the energy immediately shifts

 

[Turk February]

For some reason, no woman I have ever met has understood this movie. I think it might be the most... male movie ever made. And its great.

edit: and I don't think its that theres no female characters.

Totally, Shelly's flop-sweat when he knows the jig is up...

It always makes me laugh how he saunters out of the break room eating a cookie, after Roma has just given it to Williamson with both barrels, leans against the wall and matter-of-factly says "You are a shithead, Williamson."
