Hello all,

It's been quite a while since I posted, but I knew I could reach out to the community here to help me out with my little project.

I am starting a new project which will involve a book and some classes. Right now I am working on the book which will be a collection of idioms, expressions and phrases from and about films. Really most of them are quotes from films that we now use commonly in English, but I would love to hear any suggestions people might have.

Film Idioms

1. cut to the chase

2. lights camera action

3. it�s showtime

4. silver screen

5. name up in lights

6. leading man/lady

7. A lister

8. that�s the ticket

9. lock down

10. hit the mark

As I said, I am also trying to think of film quotes that are used in English such as:

Horror

They're heeeeeeeeeeeeere.

I see dead people.

Here�s Johnny.

It�s ALIVE!

We all go a little mad sometimes.

(I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti) Fuh, fuh, fugh, fuh, fuh.

We�re gonna need a bigger boat.

Smile you son of a bitch.

The power of Christ compels you!

Rhee, rhee, rhee! (Shower scene from Psycho)

It's definitely a work in progress, but anything you would like to add I would really appreciate.

I am doing it by genre:

Horror

Action

Drama

Sci-fi

War

Comedy

Crime

Musicals

Westerns

TV

Cheers guys [/list][/list]

that puzzzled me too. Then I figured it as "A-lister," someone from the A list. A really top star- like Leinardo DiCaprio or Tom Hanks.

as opposed to Kathy Griffiths or Kate Gosselin, who both would be on the D-list. Or the heifer list. either works.
