I got no more use for this guy!

the best lines in the whole movie:

quote:

Mona Lisa Vito : You're goin' hunting?

Vinny Gambini : That's right.

Mona Lisa Vito : Why are you going hunting? Shouldn't you be out preparing for court?

Vinny Gambini : I was thinking last night. If only I knew what he knows, you know? If he'd let me look at his files; oh boy.

Mona Lisa Vito : I don't get it. What does getting to Trotter's files have anything to do with hunting?

Vinny Gambini : Well, you know, two guys, out in the woods, guns, on the hunt. It's a bonding thing, you know; show him I'm one of the boys. He's not gonna let me look at his files, but maybe he'll relax enough to drop his guard so I can finesse a little information out of him.

[searches through his clothes]

Vinny Gambini : What am I gonna wear?

Mona Lisa Vito : What are ya gonna hunt?

Vinny Gambini : I don't know. He's got a lot of stuffed heads in his office.

Mona Lisa Vito : Heads?

[Vinny looks up at Lisa]

Mona Lisa Vito : What kinda heads?

Vinny Gambini : I don't know, he's got a boar, a bear, a couple of deer.

Mona Lisa Vito : Whoa. You're gonna shoot a deer?

Vinny Gambini : I don't know. I suppose. I mean, I'm a man's man, I could go deer hunting.

Mona Lisa Vito : A sweet, innocent, harmless, leaf-eating, doe-eyed little deer.

Vinny Gambini : Hey Lisa, I'm not gonna go out there just to wimp out, you know. I mean, the guy will lose respect for me, would you rather have that?

[Lisa gets up, walks over to the bathroom and shuts the door]

Vinny Gambini : What about these pants I got on, you think they're O.K.?

[Looks down]

Vinny Gambini : Oh!

Mona Lisa Vito : [comes out of the bathroom] Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A frickin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a frick what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?

big screen.

"What's a ute?"

What I love about the Judge character is that he's actually reasonable. Both he and the DA are doing their jobs and not corrupt hicks like you see in most movies about the South.

Tomei must have fricked half of Hollywood to get that Oscar. It was a fun movie, and she did a great job, but no way was it Academy award worthy.

My Cousin Vinny For The First Time


The scene where he is in the prosecutors cabin and hears the owls and just comes out blasting makes me laugh out loud every single time.

"Volunteers" is the correct answer. Tom Tuttle from Tacoma is the GOAT. "Uncle Buck" is very funny, too, as is "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and "The Great Outdoors."

Is nekkid in "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead," which is an excellent movie.

I grabbed these grits in a hurry a few weeks ago and noticed the writing on the container when I got home.

Here were the other 4 nominees for BSA that year:

Judy Davis – Husbands and Wives
Joan Plowright – Enchanted April
Vanessa Redgrave – Howards End
Miranda Richardson – Damage

The Academy got it right.

. I like that also. Directors often invent a bad guy just to have an obvious antagonist in the story. While they did that with the B plot, the main story line is absolutely Vinnie’s story. It’s him against himself. He’s his own worst enemy.
