I love it too.

I actually saw it on Broadway in 2005. It starred Alan Alda; Jeffrey Tambor; Liev Schreiber (who won a Tony award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his portrayal of Ricky Roma); Gordon Clapp; Tom Wopat; and Frederick Weller. The part Alec Baldwin played in the film was written specifically for him and was not in the play.

I bought a poster and waited outside the theater and got four of the actors to sign it (didn't get Alan Alda or Jeffrey Tambor; they must have left earlier or later than the autograph seekers waiting outside). As soon as I got home, I had the poster framed. Paid $15.00 for the poster and $115 for framing - ha! I didn't mind. It's one of my most prized possessions.

Several years later, there was another revival of it on Broadway with Al Pacino playing Shelley Levine. Boy, would I have loved to see that one.

There are parts of that movie where the dialog is almost lyrical. I'm not a big fan of David Mamet, but he sure got this one right.

... Newman and Redford met on the set, and became close friends. And friendship between those two meant ever more elaborate pranks.
When Redford made the Milagro Beanfield War, there was a scene in which the daughter of the protagonist was in a small store, and went to pick up a Newman's Own product off the shelf, but was quickly dissuaded by the clerk, who said, "Oh, you don't want that crap!" or words to that effect. Legend has it that they razzed each other unmercifully.
I had the pleasure of meeting Newman a few times, and he was a delightful guy. The first time was at Lime Rock race track in Connecticut. I was crewing for a friend who drove Formula Ford, and Lanny introduced me to him, He was sitting in a lawn chair next to his camper with his Nomex suit stripped off down to his waist, and he was wearing a T-shirt that read, "PAUL NEWMAN HAS SKINNY LAIGS!" It was a gift from his daughters, apparently. Pranks ran in the family, I guess.

Given the extent to which they are thought of as a matched set, it's remarkable that they only acted together in two movies.

But, basically, yes.

I was thinking the 2005 version with Martin Freeman. I don't think there was another one after that but I could have missed it.

It felt like a fever dream to my adolescent brain.

But that line about queuing has lived rent free since I saw the "new" movie.

I know this could be from a lot of movies, but it was from dialogue between a mismatched couple.

quite a few were Jewish. Major Strasser (Conrad Veidt) left Germany for the States in the 30's, his wife was Jewish. He was a fervent anti-nazi.

Bogart, Dooley Wilson (Sam) and Joy Page (a Bulgarian). She was of Mexican and Russian/Jewish background. John Qualen, the ring salesman and resistance person was Canadian/American.

Madeline LaBeau, a French actress, was Bogarts discarded girlfriend. She was the last.survivor of the film. Her impassioned singing of La Marseilles was punctuated with real genuine tears.

I don't know if I've ever seen her in another movie, but that scene has to be her finest. You can tell that the emotion was real. I usually sing it with her.

One of my longtime favorite movies. I still listen to the soundtrack cassette I keep in my old truck now and then.

I was going to go with "Does a bear jerk off?" but I thought it would be too obscure!

In fact, it's all the words of all the dialog.

A Walk in the Woods, book by Bill Bryson, into the film starring Paul and Robert. RR joined the project in 2005. It was not meant to be. Paul was pushing 80 and a long time smoker (quit in 86). He died of lung cancer in 2008.
