He should’ve won an Oscar for this

There’s a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.” Now… I been sayin’ that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You’d be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin’ made me think twice. See, now I’m thinking: maybe it means you’re the evil man. And I’m the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here… he’s the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you’re the righteous man and I’m the shepherd and it’s the world that’s evil and selfish. And I’d like that. But that shit ain’t the truth. The truth is you’re the weak. And I’m the tyranny of evil men. But I’m tryin’, Ringo. I’m tryin’ real hard to be the shepherd.

As much as I love Hopper's lines in that scene, it's Walken's responses (both verbal and non-verbal) that make that scene unique.  The piece de resistance of it all though is Tarantino basically saying Italian mobsters are the dumbest fucking people on the planet.  It's 4 connected guys in a 10x20 trailer and they don't find the address until after they've killed an ex-cop and called attention to themselves.  

I still vote for JEJ in "Field of Dreams."  I've watched it 100 times and I cry every time.

The one I fucking hate, and every non-athlete "leader' in business thinks they are connecting with former athletes by using it...

 

The one I do love, and it is also overplayed, but if you lived those times and understand what the US college boys and Coach Herb brooks ended up doing...  holy furk, it gets me going, regardless of how many times I've heard it.

You know, I've owned this DVD for over a decade, and still to this day have never watched it.  I'm gonna watch it.  USA, muthafuckas.
