I found out recently that The Warriors is based on a Greek play by Xenophon called Anabasis about Greek mercenaries who had to fight their way out of the Persian Empire when Cyrus the Younger is killed while trying to take the throne.

Not a play, but Xenophon's account of the actual march of the Ten Thousand that he was on.

I got kids to say

"If its all the same to you ill drive that tanker"

from Road Warrior every time we pass one on the freeway. Because I did it so many times they pronounce "tanker" the Australian way in normal conversation.

"Tanka" is the correct way.

I also get them to shout

"Wolverines"

Red Dawn style.

Speaking of Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey

"The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So the way he sees it, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."
-Jacob's Ladder

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."
-The Sheltering Sky
