#10. In 1940 I was just turning 5 years old and being taken to the movies. For those of us who were not old enough to understand the horror of war it was a very romantic era because these guys were kissing their wives and girlfriends goodbye and going off to fight and become heroes.

Jhonen Vasquez

Movies Were Movies Quotes #90613

Stephen Gaghan

Movies Were Movies Quotes #210355

#54. Lately, they were always reassuring each other that nothing was wrong; and probably it was true - life wasn't supposed to be incredible, after all. Life wasn't some incredible movie. Life was all the movies, ever, happening at once. There were good ones, bad ones, some went straight to video.

Tao Lin

Movies Were Movies Quotes #281678
#55. The two Hindi movies that I did were not marketed well, and so not many people came to watch the film, hence the audience doesn't know much about me. I am a newcomer, and I cannot sell a film on my own. There has to be a backing in terms of producers.

Movies Were Movies Quotes #314518
#64. When she returned, she smiled and said, "We were at the movies once, and this dork took two phone calls during the film. Later we followed him, and Andre broke both his legs with a baseball bat."

Movies Were Movies Quotes #315250

John Waters

Movies Were Movies Quotes #378328

Nicolas Cage

Movies Were Movies Quotes #382632

Movies Were Movies Quotes #423878
#87. Typical horror movies of the 1930s were often given a period setting in what looked like a kind of stylized 19th century ... the sense of 'elsewhen', of distance, lent to many of these movies by their settings. They exist, as it were, in a 19th century of the mind.

Andrew Tudor

Movies Were Movies Quotes #426756

Emmanuelle Beart

Movies Were Movies Quotes #428814

#90. Oh gosh, well, you know, growing up in the '70s being a young boy there, you know, there were still exploitation movies, where, you know, were, you know, still opened up every week and, you know, played - sometimes they would play it at the local, you know, mall theater.

Harmony Korine

Movies Were Movies Quotes #450216

#99. When I was a kid, my favorite movies were the George Pal version of 'War Of The Worlds,' 'Them,' and 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers.' Those movies were scary! They haunted my nightmares for years, so when I started writing, I wanted to write a story that was just as big and just as scary.

David Gerrold

Movies Were Movies Quotes #469872
#100. Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.
