: a very small room or enclosed structure with a public telephone in it. Kiefer Sutherland was excellent! What is the meaning of phone booth? Decent acting from the cast including a great performance from Colin Farrell! Forest Whitaker was very good. The Phone Booth is a very clever and unusual movie.

And as this scene proves, his phone etiquette leaves a lot to be desired.Who is the killer in the movie phone booth? For many others, he is Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T Robinson, the hapless hardass who’s almost in charge of securing Nakatomi Plaza in Die Hard.īut for me, Gleason will always be Clarence Beeks, the foul-mouthed henchman who will do anything to keep the Duke brothers rich in Trading Places. ‘Hold on…’ (Trading Places) *Warning: The clip below contains a naughty word*įor many, actor Paul Gleason is Principal Richard Vernon, the ball-busting detention-taker in The Breakfast Club. De Niro’s silent assurance to Grodin that, despite what he shouts down the blower, he will not shoot him and dump him in a swamp, is comedy genius.ġ. ‘Did it ever occur to you that I am a professional?’ (Midnight Run) *Warning: The clip below contains several naughty words*Īnother great duo at a pay phone now – this time it’s De Niro again, but with Charles Grodin in the fabulously funny Midnight Run. Hoffman calls this his favourite scene from anything he’s ever done. To their credit, the two actors held their noses and ran with it. Another bit of improv brilliance, Dustin Hoffman actually did fart in the phone booth while filming this scene from Rain Man with Tom Cuise.

If you don’t well up with tears, then you are a tougher man than me.

It is from this shiny red Scottish booth that Mac MacIntyre (Peter Riegert) makes calls from a little coastal village back to the US, as he tries to broker an oil deal that would transform the locals into millionaires.įor a lovely look back at Local Hero and its locations, click HERE to watch film critic Mark Kermode and Forsyth touring the village of Pennan, where the film was shot, to mark the movie’s 25th anniversary a few years ago. Local Hero is many things – something that makes grown men weep, for starters – but it is probably the only film in which the show is pretty much stolen by a phone box.

Within the space of two years, Scottish director Bill Forsyth made Gregory’s Girl and Local Hero, two of the most wonderful British films. Cast your mind back to the early 80s, a very different time when Manchester United were crap and bankers were greedy. ‘They got a real nice beach here, Cal’ (Local Hero)įrom the Dumb to the dumbfoundingly brilliant. In Dumb & Dumber, like everything else in Dumb & Dumber, it becomes hilarious.Ĥ. On paper, a guy punching someone through a phone box shouldn’t be that funny.

The great thing about Dumb & Dumber – apart from it being the Citizen Kane of Jim Carrey movies – is that even the bits without Harry and Lloyd are full of belly laughs. ‘This is where it all ends, at a phone booth’ (Dumb & Dumber) You know, if we ever actually used a pay phone any more.Īnother psycho in a phone box now, in this superb public call box meltdown from Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman.ĥ. Robert De Niro does what we’d all like to do when a payphone eats our change. He plays Goodfellas’ standout psycho, but how does he go out? Over the phone. – ‘Hey Sully, remember when I said I’d let you make a phone call without bothering you?’ Instead, here’s a bit of overacting from Michael Doughlas in Schumacher’s underrated Falling Down. But there’s no room for Colin Farrell and Keifer Sutherland’s overacting in this list. He even named one of his films Phone Booth. ‘I think it’s out of order’ (Falling Down)ĭirector Joel Schumacher loves a good phone booth. This fantastic bit of acting here from Mia Farrow – even at one point acting ‘acting’ that she’s on the phone – was largely improvised, and instils a perfect bit of extra dread into Roman Polanski’s classic.

‘There are plots against people, aren’t there?’ (Rosemary’s Baby)

Here, poor Ron uses a phone booth to react badly to the apparent demise of his beloved dog, Baxter.Īlfred Hitchcock had a bit of a thing for phones (Dial M For Murder, anyone), so it’s no surprise he uses a booth as an instrument of torturing poor Tippi Hedren here.ġ0. Remember when Ron Burgundy was funny? If you haven’t seen the decidedly miss-and-miss Anchorman 2, you can simply look back fondly on the only Burgundy movie adventure your eyes have come across.
