Favorite Movie Lines

[Ymir's blood]

Yep, it's another one of those...

So what are some of your favorite lines from movies?

To start,

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those with loaded pistols and those who dig. You dig.

You won't catch me dying. They'll have to kill me before I die.

What would you do with a brain if you had one?

Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the Rebel's hidden fort...

[beyelzu]

first off, have mercy guys, these will all be from memory.


[on the meaning of life] to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you to hear the lamentations of their women


keaton always said "I dont believe in god, but Im afraid of him", well I believe in god and the only thing that scares me is Kaiser Soze

what about that time I caught you naked with a bowl of jello


everyone's favorite
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.

From the movie, Jackie Brown;

AK-47. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room. Accept no substitutes.

when Samuel L got cast for star wars I wanted to hear him say


Your father's lightsaber when you absolutley, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room.

but sadly I guess the line got left on the cutting room floor.

[Dingfod]

The one that notifies me I've got mail right now is from The Outlaw Josie Wales:
You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?

Another that I like from that movie:
Ain't a hard man to track, leaves dead men where ever he goes.

Actually, I recall seeing Jackson hosting a television special on the making of The Phantom Menace. At one point, he holds up Darth Maul's "light saber" and says, "A double-bladed light saber -- when you've absolutely, positively got to kill every stormtrooper in the room."

I'll bet it's available online somewhere.

I'm your huckleberry.I've got that one on file too, but I thought Val as Doc Holliday said "I'm here Huckleberry." My hearing isn't so great so I probably have it wrong.

Oh yeah, I was thinkin of Val Kilmer's Doc. The preceding quotes just made me think of quotes from westerns, and that's one of my favorites.

My favorite changes pretty frequently, but today I think it's this one...

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose a future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?

[lisarea]

On the Waterfront

That wasn’t him, Charlie, it was you. Remember that night at the Garden you came down to my dressing room and said, ‘Kid, this isn’t your night’? MY NIGHT! I could have taken Wilson apart. So what happened? He gets the shot at the title outdoors at a ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palookaville. You was my brother, Charlie, you should have looked out for me a little bit. You should have taken care of me better so I didn’t have to take the dives for the short-end money. I could have had class. I could have been a contender. I could have been somebody instead of a bum, which is what I am, let’s face it. It was you, Charlie.

Citizen Kane
You know, Mr. Bernstein, if I hadn't been very rich I might have been a really great man.

Pink Flamingos
There are two kinds of people in the world - my kind and assholes.

From Unforgiven (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105695/):

Bartender: "You just shot an unarmed man!"

Munny: "He should have armed himself."

I chose not to choose life and the reason? There are no reasons, Who needs reasons when youve got heroin.


great fucking movie

[lisarea]

Oh! I remembered Sexy Beast.

I only like the Ben Kingsley guy in this movie because I am EXACTLY LIKE HIM when I get mad.

Not this time Gal, not this time. Not this fucking time. No no no no no no no no no. No. No no no no no no no no no no no. Not this fucking time. No fucking way. No fucking way. No fucking way. No fucking way. Maybe you look alright cunt.

After he got busted for smoking on the airplane:

Yeah, that's what I said. There's me putting my bag up in the cupboard next thing ya know, I feel hands on me. Someone's touched me, touched my front...my front bottom. I can't believe it, I've gone all cold. I look around, he standing there isn't he? That steward with the guilty look on his face. I was shocked, I didn't know what to say. I had to sit down, I was that perturbed. Then his mate, the other one who was giving us all lessons on what we do if we land in the sea. How to wear your life jacket etc; He starts off, he starts looking at me all funny...suggestive. Now I don't know if they're wanting me for a twosome or something, I don't know how they work it. But I'll tell you what, it scared me. I was shaking like a leaf, so without thinking I lit up a cigarette to calm me nerves. I was trembling, I was very emotional and that's when all the rest of it happened. It's very regrettable. Now, I don't want to kick up a fuss, right, press charges...contact the British embassy. I'd rather not pursue those channels, that's not my style. I'm not that sort of a bloke. I don't want the man to lose his job and I'm sure he's not representive of all you Spanish people. But I would appreciate it if you had a word with him, let him know he's been rumbled.

[livius drusus]

Anything the Mole says in the South Park movie, but particularly "Careful? Was my mother careful when she stabbed me in the heart with a clothes hanger while I was still in the womb?"

Before Ronin beats me to it, just about every line in The Maltese Falcon is a favorite, although "When you're slapped you'll take it and like it" is definitely primus inter pares.

[Dingfod]

From Unforgiven (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105695/):

Bartender: "You just shot an unarmed man!"

Munny: "He should have armed himself."

Unforgiven was great.

While not a great line in itself, the following from Star Wars gets repeated every time one of my friends asks another one of my friends to repay money or return something which has been borrowed:


"I don't have it with me." - Han Solo

[Godless Wonder]

From the South Park movie:

Chef, in the army, on being informed "the Negro Unit" would be the first to invade Canada: "General, have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"

General: "I don't listen to hip hop."

From the movie UHF:

"Supplies!!!!"

From Something About Mary:

Ben Stiller:" It must be great with a wife like that."

From Stripes:

"That's a fact, Jack!"

"Model T and a tankfull of gas, a handfull of pussy and a mouthfull of ass."

[LadyShea]

I have no idea the name of the movie, all I know is the actor speaking the line was Billy Bob Thornton: "I liked you better when you used to smoke all that pot and we'd screw in the back of your Pinto"

Okay, embarassing confession: Frankie and I actually converse in movie quotes a lot. How pathetic is that? LOL

[godfry n. glad]

From Master and Commander: "If you name a plant after me, make sure it's prickly and difficult to eradicate."

From Life of Brian: "Splitter!" - "What about the roads?" - "Always look on the bright side of life."

From Casablanca: "Of all the gin joints in all the world, she has to walk into mine." - "Round up the usual suspects!" - When asked by the German colonel what his nationality is, Rick answers: "I'm a drunkard."

From Princess Bride: "I don't think that word means what you think it means."

The entire eulogy from the funeral in Three Weddings and a Funeral, by W.H. Auden, I believe.

From Same Time Next Year:

Okay...okay....so I didn't think it through.

[Dlanod]

From The Princess Bride:

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But, only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!"

also

Buttercup: We'll never survive.
Westley: Nonsense, you're only saying that because no one ever has.

also

When I was your age, television was called, "books."

also

Vizzini: Inconceivable.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means.

One of the truly great quotable movies.

I just read the book a couple of months ago and when I bought it I was sure that it couldnt be better than the movie because I loved the movie. But everything is just a little better in the book and the cumulative effect is awesome. also, I think the book is worth reading if only for the fight scene between inigo and wesley, which has more depth than the scene in the movie.

Actually, Harrison hurt her when he slammed her against the wall, she was in a lot of pain (laser disc's are a wonderful thing). They certainly played the scene as if the character was hurt -- I think that's part of what makes it so powerful. He wants her to recognize she is feeling; her biology/creation is irrelevant in the moment (imo, of course). It's unfortunate if the actor was hurt while playing it too, but I think both Sean Young and Ford have enough acting chops to play it as well, regardless.

Blade Runner just had so many good lines. My favourite is "All these moments will be lost, like tears... in the rain"

OK it wasn't a brilliant line, but in the context of the scene, it was just so damn sweet. Apparently Rutger Hauer ad-libbed that scene and Scott decided to leave it in, so it was unscripted.

"What in the wide world of sports is a-goin' on?" - I forget the character's name, but it's from Blazing Saddles, and a guy I worked with in the AF used to say that all the time

That was the great Slim Pickens who had a lot of good lines from both Blazing Saddles and also Dr. Strangelove.

Blazing Saddles:

"What in the wide, wide world of sports is a going on here? I hired you people to try to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!"

Pickens: I know how we can run everyone out of Rock Ridge.
Harvey Corman: How?
Pickens: We'll kill the first born male child in every household.
Corman: Too Jewish.


Gal-darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a 20-dollar whore.

Dr. Strangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb):

"In them you'll find one .45-caliber automatic, two boxes ammunition, four days' concentrated emergency rations, one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizing pills, one miniature Russian phrase book and Bible, one hundred dollars in rubles, one hundred dollars in gold, five packs of chewing gum, one issue prophylactics, three tubes lipstick, three pair of nylon stockings ...

John Keating: "No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world."
-- Dead Poets Society

John Keating: "They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."

John Keating: "There is a time for daring and a time for caution, and a wise man knows which is called for."

Aragorn: "I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight!
