Here's a few of my favorites:

"You can't fight in here! This is the war room!"
from "Doctor Strangelove"

"It's no trick to make a lot of money -if all you want is to make a lot of money."
from "Citizen Kane"

"Put your drawers on and take your gun off."
from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

"Charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500."
from "Apocalypse Now"

"I would kiss you, but I just washed my hair."
can't remember which Bette Davis movie originated that one, but it is a whopper of a line.

And then there's the infamous Dirty Harry speech:
"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? To tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this confusion and excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself just one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?"

As Bruce said, there's lot more great quotes.

My all-time favorite line comes from TV - "The Simpsons":

"The Goodbye Girl" Richard Dreyfuss (Elliot Garfield): I play the guitar whenever I cannot sleep, and I meditate every morning, complete with chanting and burning incense, so if you have to walk around I'd appreciate a little tiptoeing. Also: I sleep in the nude. "Au buffo." Winter and summer, rain or snow, with the windows open. And because I may have to go to the potty or to the fridge in the middle of the night, and because I do not want to put on jammies which I do not own in the first place, unless you're looking for a quick thrill or your daughter an advanced education I'd keep my door closed.

Maybe it is not the best form to post an entire scene from a movie, but I thought this particular one had lots of good lines. The scene is from Jaws.

Matt Hooper and Chief Brody flank Mayor Vaughn as they walk up from the beach....

Brody
"This is a great white, Larry. A big one. And any shark expert in the world will tell you it's a killer. It's a man eater!"

Hooper
"Look, the situation is that apparantly a great white shark has staked a claim in the waters off Amity Island. And he is going to continue to feed here as long as there is food in the water."

Brody
"And there's no limit to what he's going to do. I mean we've already had three incidents. Two people killed inside of a week and it's going to happen again. It happened before. The Jersey beach, 1916. Five people chewed up in the surf!"

Hooper
"In one week."

Brody(to Hooper)
"Tell him about the swimmers."

Hooper
"A shark is attracted to the exact kind of splashing and activity that occurs whenever human beings go in swimming; you cannot avoid it."

Brody
"If you open the beaches on the forth of July, it's like ringing the dinner bell, for Christ's sake."

(Mayor Vaughn is not convinced.)

Hooper
"Look, Mr Vaughn. Mr. Vaughn. I pulled a tooth the size of a shot glass out of the wrecked hull of a boat out there, and it was the tooth of a great white."

Brody
"It was Ben Gardner's boat. It was all chewed up. I helped tow it in. You should have seem him!"

Mayor Vaughn
"Where. Where is that tooth? Did you see it, Brody?"

Brody
"No, I didn't see it. He dropped it..."

Hooper
"I had an accident."

Mayor Vaughn
"And what did you say the name of this shark is?"

Hooper (pauses)
"It is a Carcharodon carcharias. It's a great white."

Mayor Vaughn
"But, you don't have the tooth..."
"...Look, we depend on the summer people here for our very lives-"

Hooper (raising his voice over the Mayor)
"You're not going to have a summer unless you deal with this problem!"

Mayor Vaughn
"...and if you close those beaches, we're finished!"

Brody (over Hooper and the Mayor)
"We're not only going to have to close the beach, we're going to have to hire somebody to kill the shark! I mean, we're going to have to tell the Coast Guard! We're going to..."

Hooper (talking over Brody)
"Mr. Vaughn, you have to contact the shark research panel. You have to release this entire harbor.."

Brody
"...we're going to have to place some deputies on because every nut in the world is gonna come here. We've gotta spend money to keep what we've got!"

Mayor Vaughn (interrupts the two)
"I don't think either one of you are familiar with our problems!"

Hooper
"Uh, I think I am familiar with the fact you're going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you on the ass! Now wait a second. Wait a second."

Mayor Vaughn
"Chief."

Hooper
"There are two ways to deal with this problem. You're either going to kill this animal or you're going to cut off its food supply."

Brody
"Larry, we have to close the beaches."

Mayor Vaughn
(points to a vandalized beach billboard with shark attack graffiti)
"Brody. Sick vandalism. That is a deliberate mutilation of a public service message! Now I want those little paint happy bastards caught and hung up by their Buster Browns!"

Hooper
"That's it. Goodbye. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a man whose lining up to be a hot lunch. I'm going to see you later, Brody."

Brody
"Aw, c'mon, please don't do this..." (reasoning with Hooper)

Hooper (approaches the Mayor):
"Mr. Vaughn. What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, uh, an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim, and eat, and make little sharks. And that's all."
(Hooper points to the shark fin on the billboard)
"Now why don't you take a long, close look at this sign. Those proportions are correct."

Mayor Vaughn
"Love to prove that, wouldn't you? Get your name into the National Geographic."

(Hooper, dumbstruck, starts laughing and continues laughing as he walks toward the billboard.)

Brody
"Larry. Larry, if we make an effort today we might be able to save August."

Mayor Vaughn
"August? For Christ's Sake, tomorrow's the fourth of July! And we will be open for business! This is going to be one of the best summers we've ever had. Now if you fellas are concerned about the beaches you do whatever you have to do to make them safe. But those beaches will be open for this weekend!"

(Vaughn gets into his car and leaves.)

The "choose life" speech from Trainspotting is pretty funny:

quote:
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 cholestrol and dental insurance.

Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments.

Choose a starter home.

Choose your friends.

Choose leisurewear and matching luggage.

Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics.

Choose D.I.Y. and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning.

Choose sitting, watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth.

Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats that you've spawned to replace yourself.

Choose your future.

Choose life.

But why would I want to do a thing like that?

I chose not to choose life.

I chose something else.

And the reasons?

There are no reasons.

Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Come to think of it, pretty much ANY line spoken by Slim Pickens in Blazing Saddles and 1941 ("You ain't gittin' shit") make me laugh out loud even when watching the films alone. Same with anything that comes out of Jackie Gleason's mouth in Smokey And The Bandit. [Smile]

I've seen this quote getting lots of press lately. The problem with it, in my opinion, is that like most of the quotes listed here, they must be in the context of the movie to work. Taken out of context, this quote, like most of these others, make no sense at all. I thought a far better quote from There Will Be Blood was:

"There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking."

In the movie, its a great summary of the character's selfishness. Out of the movie, it still is very powerful. That's just what I think makes a great quote.

But if you are naughty and idle, you shall sleep in the back kitchen amongst the black beetles, and be walloped by Mrs. Pearce with a broomstick. At the end of six months you will be taken to an embassy ball in a carriage, beautifully dressed. If the king finds out you are not a lady, you will be taken to the Tower of London, where your head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower girls! If you are not found out, you shall be given a present of... uh... seven and six to start life with in a lady's shop. If you refuse this offer, you will be the most ungrateful, wicked girl, and the angels will weep for you."

"I can see her now, "Mrs. Freddy Einsford-Hill," in a wretched little flat above a store. I can see her now! Not a penny in the till, and a bill-collector beating at the door! She'll try to teach the things I taught her... and end up selling flowers instead! Begging for her bread and water! While her husband has his breakfast in bed! In a year or so, when she's prematurely gray, and the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk, she'll come home, and lo! He'll have upped and run away with a social climbing heiress from New York! Poor Eliza! How simply frightful! How humiliating! How delightful! How poignant it will be on that inevitable night, when she hammers on my door in tears and rags! Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite! Shall I take her in, or hurl her to the wolves? Give her kindness, or the treatment she deserves? Will I take her back, or THROW THE BAGGAGE OUT? Well, I'm a most forgiving man. The sort who never could, ever would, take a position and staunchly never budge. A *most* forgiving man... But, I shall NEVER take her back! If she were crawling on her KNEES! Let her promise to atone, let her shiver, let her moan, I'll slam the door and let the hellcat FREEZE! Marry Freddy! HA!"

...I could go on. The man never really opens his mouth without saying something worth listening to.

Wow, a couple of mis-quotes here... Let's see if I can fix any of them...

quote: Robert W. Jones
"I see stars"

If this is a 2001 reference, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's "My God. It's full of stars."

quote: Robert W. Jones
"The best part of you ran down your Mama's leg"

"The best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress. I think you've been cheated!"

quote:
"To the Universe! And beyond!"

Buzz Lightyear? If so, it's "To INFINITY and beyond!"

quote: Robert W. Jones
"Yippie Aye A"

I believe it's spelled: "Yippie Kay-yay."

quote: Robert W. Jones
"You chose poorly"

Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade? "HE chose... poorly."

quote: Robert W. Jones
"We called the dog 'Indy'"

"We named the dog Indiana."

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of those.

"Kay-yay?" That would not pronounce correctly. I don't know the official spelling (if there is one) but it would be "ki-yay" or "ky-yay" or something like that. Aside from that, the quote isn't complete without the "mothafucka!" at the end.

Mark,

Some of that was paraphrasing. Just had a"film quote moment" and the fingers did the walking.

quote: Mark J. Marshall
"My God. It's full of stars."

2010

"Viddy well O' my brother, viddy well..."

Yippie kai aye mofo! [Smile]

(phonetically)

"I was cured alright!"

This is a really fun thread. Need more Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein stuff.

"What Knockers"!

Late now, but be "Mr. Beekeeper's Fixer Upper" keeping me awake.

I have a copy of the "Die Hard" shooting script (second revised draft; Oct. 2, 1987). Let's see how writers Jeb Stuart & Steven E. DeSouza spell it. (I'm not sure if the line appears in Roderick Thorp's novel on which the film was based.)

Scene 170, page 54-B:

HANS (harsh): Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?

McCLANE: (long pause): Yipee-yi-yea...mother-fucker.
