Favorite line from a movie...

[jewelerman]

In the spirit of the popular movie questions...What is your favorite line from a movie...

mine:

"Id Rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special..."
Julia Roberts in Steel Magnloias(late 1980s)

"I should have taken a rock and killed myself years ago"
Cher in MoonStruck(1987)

Every line from The Princess Bride and Young Frankenstein is quotable...

 

[aprilcait]

Forrest Gump: " He said I had a million dollar wound... I haven't seen a nickel of the million dollars." or something along those lines. Haha! I love that movie. Oh, I know I have more, I just have to think about it.

Regarding TV shows (I know, I know... off topic), I have a favorite line from Spongebob, but it definitely has to do with the context of the show. Spongebob is pretending to be a plant, so he lays down on the ground, pops his arms and legs straight up in the air, then flaps them back and forth saying: "Photosynthesis! Photosynthesis!" Hahahaha! That cracks me up just thinking about it. Oh, and Seifeld has a ridiculous number of quotable lines... DH prefers to quote the Simpsons though.

I can't mention anything remotely related to Sling Blade without DH saying the gruff "mmhmmm" and "French fried pataters" with his chin all stuck out to mimic the underbite.

 

[jcarlylew]

"wuv, tru wuv"
and
"as you wish"
annnd
"you keep on using that word, but i do not think you know what it means"

hmm. princess bride much?

oh and my favorite (and only) line from south park
"i got it, i got it!....No, the magical tune to funky town"

hee hee.


ohh and jewelerman, in FRAANK-EN-stein

-Juno

Great thread! I''m loving reading all these posts! These are some funny quotes that come to mind since I''ve watched these movies recently.

Peter: "No... I''m just going to stop going."

Zoolander...
Derek: "[high-pitched cough]... I think I''m getting the Black Lung, Pop. It''s not very well ventilated down there."
Father: "For Christ''s sake, Derek, you''ve been down there one day. Talk to me in thirty years."

Derek: "mer-man, dad, mer-man"

Derek: "What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can''t even fit inside the building?"

Mugatu: "Are you not aware that I get farty and bloated with a foamy latte?"

I could go on and on. What a silly movie that was!

And sometimes you didn''t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it''s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn''t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Man, I might have to make a compilation of quotes from my fav movies

 

[UCLABelle]

Well, it is my favorite movie and I love a million of the quotes---here are my favorite of all-time:

"Frankly, my dear. I don''t give a damn"-Rhett Butler (GWTW)
"I can''t think about this now. I''ll go crazy if I do. I''ll think about it tomorrow"-Scarlett O''Hara (GWTW)
"With enough courage you can do without a reputation"-Rhett Butler (GWTW)
"This is sparta" and "I''m here, just taking a stroll, stretching my legs. These, uh, 300 men are my personal bodyguard." -King Leonidas (300)

 

[MonkeyPie]

dragonfly, omg, you have some of the BEST ones!

"I have a jar of diiiirt, I have a jar of diiirt." Pirates of the Caribbean part dos.

And speaking of Memoirs of a Geisha, I love these:

Mameha: [explaining sex to Sayuri] Every once in a while, a man's "eel" likes to visit a woman's... cave."
Sayuri Nitta: Yes, I know.
Mameha: You do?
Sayuri Nitta: I live with Hatsumomo.

Sayuri Nitta: [to Nobu] What is sumo but a dance between giants? What is business but a dance between companies? I would like to know about every kind of dance.

And from 300, freaking hilarious:

[Dilios is putting a patch over his eye]
King Leonidas: Dilios, I trust that "scratch" hasn't made you useless.
Dilios: Hardly, my lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare.

 

[fieryred33143]

Marty: Do you think these glasses make me look smarter?
Rizzo: No, you can still see your face.

~~Grease

 

[geckodani]

"Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That''s my only real motivation is not to be hassled; that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired." Peter, Office Space

"And I said, I don''t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I''m, I''m quitting, I''m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they''ve moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn''t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it''s not okay because if they take my stapler then I''ll set the building on fire..." Milton, Office Space

"And then they made me their chief." Jack Sparrow, PofC

"Why is the RUM GONE!?!?" Jack Sparrow

"If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it." Jack Sparrow

"Inconceivable!" Vizzini, Princess Bride

Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Count Rugen: Stop saying that!

"Anybody want a peanut?" Fezzik, Princess Bride

"Smell BAD!" Ludo, Labrynth

The Worm: ''Allo.
Sarah: Did you say... hello?
The Worm: No, I said "''allo," but that''s close enough.

 

[OUpearlgirl]

Sadie: Where do babies come from?
Debbie: Where do you think they come from?
Sadie: Well. I think a stork, he umm, he drops it down and then, and then, a hole goes in your body and there''s blood everywhere, coming out of your head and then you push your belly button and then your butt falls off and then you hold your butt and you have to dig and you find the little baby.
Debbie: That''s exactly right.

From Knocked Up

"There''s one thing I do know... and that is that I love you, Scarlett. In spite of you and me and the whole silly world going to pieces around us, I love you. Because we''re alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd. But able to look things in the eyes as we call them by their right names. "
Rhett Butler from GWTW

"Bears. Beets. Battlestar Gallactica."
Jim on The Offce

"Don''t you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn''t marry a girl just because she''s pretty, but my goodness, doesn''t it help?"
Lorelei Lee from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

That was the funniest line of the whole movie!! I completely forgot about knocked up.

 

[Miranda]

"No more rhyming. I mean it!"

"Anybody have a peanut?"

LOL - I love Princess Bride!

 

[Miranda]

From Tombstone: "I''ve got two guns. One for each of ya."

 

[somethingshiny]

The many Princess Bride lines already quoted, specifically, "you keep using that word but I do not think you know what it means" (really funny for me, because DH tries to use words that he doesn't know the definition of)
"I'm your huckleberry" Doc Holliday in Tombstone
"No one puts Baby in a corner" Johnny in Dirty Dancing
"Where is the Continuum Transfunctioner?" from Dude, Where's My Car (mostly cause it just makes me laugh)
"God didn't make Rambo, I did." Colonel Troutman from First Blood
"We all end up dead. It's just a question of how and why." William Wallace in Braveheart
"I like candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup." Buddy the Elf

And, from TV, one of my favorite shows is Psych. In one of the episodes the main character keeps saying "Bingo", as in "that's right", until his friend tell him to stop so then he says "Yahtzee!" which I've picked up and put into my own vocabulary.

I also love the Men in Tights "we're men in tights" song.

 

[AmberWaves]

I just watched this again last night:

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Lois: "How would you like me to make your life a living hell?"
Ace Ventura: "Well, I'm not really ready for a relationship, Lois, but thank you for asking. Hey, maybe I'll give you a call sometime. Your number's still 911? All righty then."

Arthur:

"I'm so rich, I wish I had a dime for every dime I have"

Elf:
Buddy: [panting after chasing Michael] Wow, you're fast. I'm glad I caught up to you. I waited 5 hours for you. Why is your coat so big? So, good news - I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?

Elf Again: [on seeing a sign saying "World's Best Cup of Coffee"]
Buddy: You did it! Congratulations! World's best cup of coffee! Great job, everybody! It's great to be here.

2.
Brick Tamland: [opposing women in the newsroom] I read somewhere their periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation.
Brian Fantana: Well, that's just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you're putting the whole station in jeopardy.

Brick Tamland: I love... carpet.
[pause]
Brick Tamland: I love... desk.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?

Brick Tamland: I love lamp. I love lamp. (we say this around the house constantly)

4.
Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent.
Brian Fantana: Oh yeah.
Ron Burgundy: It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
Brian Fantana: Yep.
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make sense.

Juno MacGuff: Nah... I mean, I'm already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into?

3.
Juno MacGuff: I think I'm, like, in love with you.
Paulie Bleeker: You mean as friends?
Juno MacGuff: No, I mean, like, for real. 'Cause you're, like, the coolest person I've ever met, and you don't even have to try, you know...
Paulie Bleeker: I try really hard, actually.
