I definitely have a couple of movie moments to share. My favorite is from The Quiet Man, with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. There was a bit of a storm brewing in the scene, and there was a moment when the wind kicked up and just blew her very red hair around a bit. I think that was the moment I fell in love with Maureen O’Hara, and Debi teases me about it all the time.
The second one is from the movie Raising Arizona, with Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter. They had recently kidnapped one baby from a set of quintuplets (they got more than they can handle), and needed some diapers. They stop at a convenience store to get diapers, and Cage decided to also rob the place (old habits die hard). He opens a package of panty hose and puts them on his head (both leg sections dangling like giant rabbit ears) and robs the place. In the chase scene that follows, he tries to stop a guy driving a truck, almost getting run over in the process and tries to get in the cab. The man looks at him with a straight face and dead pan delivers and says, “Son, you’ve got a panty on your head.” Then he drives off while Cage tries to get into the cab.
In case you haven’t seen this movie, here’s a short clip with the chase scene.
