Main Plot: Ford v Ferrari is a movie directed by James Mangold and is all about car companies and how they fight for success.  An American car designer, Carrol Shelby, is forced to retire after winning the demanding 1959 ’24 Hours of Le Man’s endurance race. But an incredible offer by Lee Iacocca, the Vice President of Henry Ford motor company, offers an opportunity to beat the Italians at their own game. But Shelby’s co-duo, Ken Miles, a British sports car driver and engineer, is hesitant to lend a hand, as Ford’s race team has less than 90 days to change history. And with that, the unbeatable duo comes up with the mighty Ford GT40 Mk I high-performance racing car. Can Shelby and Miles break Ferrari’s trace?

Famous quotes:

Carroll Shelby: [narration] There’s a point at 7,000 RPM… where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that’s left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That’s where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?

Carroll Shelby: We’re lighter, we’re faster, and if that don’t work, we’re nastier.

Phil Remington: [after Carroll steals two stopwatches from the Ferrari pit] Nice stopwatch.

Carroll Shelby: Want one? They’re Italian.

Ken Miles: You’re gonna build a car to beat Ferrari with… a Ford.

Carroll Shelby: Correct.

Ken Miles: And how long did they tell you that they need it? Two, three hundred years?

Carroll Shelby: Ninety days.

[Ken laughs hysterically]

[Shelby enters Henry II’s office while a secretary hands Henry II a red folder]

Carroll Shelby: Mr. Ford. Gentlemen.

Henry Ford II: Shelby.

[Henry II signals Shelby to move to the couch near him]

Henry Ford II: Give me one reason why I don’t fire everyone associated with this abomination starting with you.

[pause, as Beebe picks up the red folder]

Carroll Shelby: Well, sir… I was thinking about that very question as I sat out there in your lovely waiting room.

[Shelby sits down]

Carroll Shelby: As I was sitting there… I watched that little red folder right there go through four pairs of hands… before it got to you. ‘Course that doesn’t include the 22 or so other Ford employees who probably poked at it before it made its way up to the 19th floor. All due respect, sir, you can’t win a race by committee. You need one man in charge. Now, the good news, as I see it, is that even with all the extra weight, we still manage to put old Mr. Ferrari exactly where we want him.

Henry Ford II: Did we?

Carroll Shelby: Oh, yes.

Henry Ford II: Expand.

Carroll Shelby: Well… sure, we hadn’t… We haven’t worked out how to corner yet. Or stay cool. Or stay on the ground. And a lot of stuff broke. In fact, the only thing that didn’t break was the brakes. Hell, right now, we don’t even know if our paint job will last the whole 24 hours.

[pause]

Carroll Shelby: But our last lap… we clocked 218 miles an hour down the Mulsanne Straight. Now, in all his years of racing… old Enzo ain’t never seen anything move that fast. And now he knows, without a doubt, we’re faster than he is. Even with the wrong driver… and all the committees. And that’s what he’s thinking about while he’s sitting in Modena, Italy, right now. That man is scared to death… that this year, you actually might be smart enough to start trusting me. So, yeah. I say you got Ferrari exactly where you want him. You’re welcome.

[Henry II looks at Shelby and gets up, grabbing the red folder from Beebe and walking towards his windows]

Henry Ford II: Come here.

[Shelby approaches Henry II]

Henry Ford II: See that little building down there? In World War II, three out of five U.S. bombers rolled off that line. You think Roosevelt beat Hitler? Think again. This isn’t the first time Ford Motor’s gone to war in Europe. We know how to do more than push paper. And there is one man running this company. You report to him. You understand me?

Carroll Shelby: Yes, sir.

Henry Ford II: Go ahead, Carroll. Go to war.

Carroll Shelby: Thank you, sir.

Fun Fact about Ford v Ferrari:

Brenner: My dad was a drunk, a gambler, and a womanizer. I worshipped him.

Brenner: Seven years ago in that hospital room, when you told her to just forget about it, you killed her.

Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Kent killed her.

Brenner: No. Kent just put her out of her misery.

[last lines]

Brenner: [Brenner has the last line with General Campbell] When this all started, I told you that we would find the son of a bitch, sir. I never expected that the son of a bitch would be you.

[General Campbell holds his head in silence and walks forward, carrying the American flag behind Captain Elisabeth Campbell’s coffin]

[Sunhill asks Brenner why does he think Elisabeth Campbell was murdered]

Sunhill: Why was she murdered?

Brenner: Well, possible motives for murder are profit, revenge, jealousy, to conceal a crime, to avoid humiliation & disgrace, or plain old homicidal mania. Right there in the manual.

[Brenner and Sunhill sit at a bar with other military uniformed men]

Sunhill: I thought you hated places like this.

Brenner: I do. However the murderer may be in this room, sitting all smug and shiny… until we walked in. And now maybe he’s a little less smug and a little less shiny. And that’s pretty cool, don’t you think?

[last lines]

Danielle: [voiceover] We never spoke about what happened, at least not to each other. Fear, I suppose, that to remember his name and what he did would mean letting him into our dreams. And me, I hardly dream about him anymore. Still, things won’t ever be the way they were before he came. But that’s alright because if you hang onto the past you die a little every day. And for myself, I know I’d rather live.

[whispers]

Max Cady: “I am like God, and God like me. I am as large as God, He is as small as I. He cannot above me, nor I beneath Him be.” Silesius, 17th Century.

Danielle: If you hold on to the past, you die a little each day…

Max Cady: Counselor! Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Fun Fact about Cape Fear:

Big Dick Richie: I don’t know, man. It’s been a long time. But I do know this, you better be ready to follow my ass down the rabbit hole, brother. I’m talking out of body, baby. Astro-projection! Tobias, we’re going to Mad Mary’s.

Tobias: Hell yeah!

Big Dick Richie: Nobody, nobody messes with the mojo on the last ride!

Fun Fact about Magic Mike XXL: 

  • Matthew McConaughey was in talks to reprise his character role of Dallas for the sequel, but talks fell through because of financial reasons. According to the studio, since winning his Academy Award for Best Actor in Dallas Buyers’ Club (2013), McConaughey’s pay rate has increased, which is a tactical procedure for an actor to capitalize on his acclaimed success after he just won an Academy Award. This led to the studio optioning to pass on bringing back McConaughey for the sequel.

Famous quotes:

Ben Holmes: Quoting Bishop Jeremy Taylor, “Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful.”

Ben Holmes: Sometimes the people we meet change us forever.

Ben Holmes: Sarah, everybody loves you, you just… you just think they’re all wrong.

Sarah Lewis: I don’t deserve heaven.

Ben Holmes: Oh Sarah, you deserve so much more than you think you do.

Famous quotes:

Henry: I’m not gonna shoot you!
Junior: Mind if I shoot you?

Henry: [to Junior] Twenty-five years ago, Clay took my blood, he made you from me! The government chose me because there’s never been anybody like me. He’s been lying to you the whole time. He told you, you were an orphan, and of all the people in the world to come after me, why would he send you?
Junior: Because I’m the best.
Henry: [aiming his gun at Junior] You are obviously not the best!
Junior: You’re just trying to rattle me.
Henry: I’m trying to save you!
Junior: I’m not you old man… I’M NOT YOU

Clay Verris: [to Junior] The whole point of this was to give you all of Henry’s gifts without his pain. The thing that you’re struggling with, it’s fear. Embrace it, and then overcome it. Everything that we’ve worked for is at stake. He has to die. He’s your darkness you had to walk through on your own.
[Clay hugs a tearful Junior]
Clay Verris: I love you, Junior.

Henry: [to Junior] How did he start you? Hunting birds, rabbit? I’m guessing nineteen, twenty years-old, the first time he ordered you to shoot a person.

Yuri Kovacs: In Russia we call that ‘Tuesday’.
