When it comes to music, I'm a 'tunes & rhythm' guy, and when it comes to movies, it's the SCENES (action-wise or otherwise memorable) that stick in my mind most.
So even with my favourite films, which I've seen a 100 times, I would struggle to remember anything any actor had said in them!!
Marco.
P.S Save perhaps the very famous 'one-liners' from The Godfather movies, Jaws ('we need a bigger boat', etc) or The Shining ('Here's Johnny'). Anything more 'obscure' than that, forget it!!
And that's why so many of these "famous" quotes go right over your head!
When I read through some of the threads elsewhere in this forum, covering technical aspects of our hobby, I don't feel moved to question everything that's said or complain about it because that would at worst ruin the thread, or at least wind everyone up! Similarly, you may find topics in Abstract Chat which are unknown to you. You may have to accept that you will never fully "get" everything.
A bit less car chases and big explosions, and more films with memorable, quotable dialogue may eventually fix things
