Favorite lines from movies

[12voltman59]

Here's another thread that I hope will be fun: What are your favorite movie lines? (they don't have to be word for word--close enough for government work will do)

For some of the lines I may have forgotten the movies themselves, but here are a few lines to start us out:

"What we have here--is a failure to communicate!!!!!" Strother Martin as the warden in "Cool Hand Luke" talking about Luke's (a young Paul Newman) refusual to be a good little boy.

"My father made the man a proposition--either your signature or your brains will be on that contract," Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) explaining the family "bidness" to his future bride Kay (Diane Keaton)

"Badges--we don't need no stinkin' badges..." hell I forget which one that is from but I have always loved the line.

Here is a new one: ''Lord Vader....rise...."

The biggie one of all time: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!"--need I say anything more about this line, for everyone should know the actor, the character, the movie and that scene....!!!!!!

I do love the movie from whence this incorrectly stated line comes (Casablanca)--but I have to admit that I don't know the correct way by heart, but Humphrey Bogart never did say "Play it again, Sam." I do love the line about "of all the crummy gin joints in all the world..."

It is more of a yelp than anything, but I loved the scene that ends "Dr. Strangelove" in which the Slim Pickens chararcter bronco rides the "A-bomb" to oblivion to end the movie.

Here is an obscure line from a rather recent movie that is one of my faves. The movie is Lawerence Kasdan's mid-90s flick "Grand Canyon." It starred Kevin Kline, Steve Martin, Danny Glover, and I have a hard time remembering this actresses name-she played with Costner in "Dances with Wolves" and is the President on the new Battlestar Galactica on the Sci-Fi channel.

Steve Martin's character in the film was the producer of violent films--and for a time in the flick--he decides to make "good films" after he had been shot in a robbery attempt--his line that I loved as he said it: "All of life's mysteries can be solved at the movies."

I don't know if that is really so-but like good music--good movies do help to make a bit better sense of things.

OK folks--get the brains working and let's see some of your favorite cinematic lines....

[mn freak]

I'm a BIG John Carpenter fan. The best line in any of his movies is from "They Live",by 80's wrestling star "Rowdy" Roddy Piper."I have come here to chew bubbegum & kick ass.And I'm all out of bubbegum."Very cheesy line,but it put's a smile on my face when I hear it.

My all time favorite line would have to be from "Day Of The Dead" (both versions)."When there's nomore room in hell,the dead will walk the earth" that line still chills me everytimeI hear it.The actor,Ken Foree,Had the chance to repete the same line in the 2004 remake aswell.

One of the best has to be from Monty Python's Life of Brian. He opens the window for some fress air after sleeping with the girl and the crowd exhorts him to give us a sign. He responds that he is not who thay think he is and that they must think for themselves. Their mass response is Tell us what to think for ourselves, much like all too many today.

[espy20]

I gotta admit, I feel like a baby next to everyone. All these old movies, can't say I've seen them all, however I enjoy the lines from "Gone with the Wind". But I rather enjoy lines from comedies, mostly Kevin Smith movies (Mallrats, Clerks, Chasing Amy, etc." Here are a few I love...
Mallrats
"You dumb bastard, that's not a scooner it's a sailboat"
"A scooner is a sailboat stupid head!"
"Ya know what?!?! There is no Easter Bunny, over there that's just a guy in a suit!"
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
"One night me and Lunchbox are out macking some chick and she's like 'Oooh I wanna suck those guys dicks off' and she's like, 'what's your names?' and I'm like Jay and Silent Bob, recognize and she's like 'oh I read on the Internet that you two are a couple of bunch of fuckin jerkoffs' then she goes sucks two other guys dicks off instead, well fuck that. We gotta put a stop to these hateful sons of bitches before they ruin our good names!"

And from one of the best movies of all time...
Scarface
"You all a bunch of fuckin assholes! You know why? Cause you don't have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin fingers and say that's the bad guy. So, what does that make you? Good? You're not good, you just know how to hide and how to lie. Me? I don't have that problem. Me? I always tell the truth, even when I lie. So say goodnight to the bad guy, come on, the last time you gonna see a bad guy likes this again, let me tell you. Come on, make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy coming through, better get outta his way!"

These are just a couple things that I think are great. Would love to hear more! oxoxo

Best line in any John Carpenter flick (and for that matter, any movie period) is Kurt Russell:

"Son of a Bitch must pay."

[ghmutt1986]

I know this is racist but one of my favorite lines from Full Mental Jacket is "Half these gook whores are VC the other half have TB. Make sure you only fuck the ones that cough."
Another line I like is from Animal House when Dean Wormer says to Flounder "Fat, Drunk, and Stupid is no way to go through life, son" I always thought that would look great on a t-shirt.
