What are some of your favorite all-time movie lines?
 
"Put...the coffee...DOWN. Coffee is for Closers."

Alec Baldwin to Jack Lemmon in the tremendous film, Glengarry Glen Ross. BTW... Writer David Mamet won a Pulitzer Prize for the story. Not an Oscar, but a Pulitzer!

Goodfellas: "No, no, no, no, no. You insulted him a little bit. You got a little bit out of order yourself."

Scarface: "You wanna f$$k with me? Okay. You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend!"

"Another great night here at the Babylon, right? Okay. All right! Do another gram, you'll all be babblin' on."

Old School: "You're my boy, Blue! You're my boy."

Great call! This is probably my all-time favorite line. And after Sonny and the boys beat the holy crap out of the bikers, Sonny kicks the lead biker in the head while shouting... "Ruin my fu**ing LUNCH!" and then gets in one more kick to the head. I love it!

My personal favorite is that last one!:D

novakjr 01-17-2011 11:09 AM

There's plenty of great lines. Just for now I'm gonna stick with some Baseketball quotes.

Squeak Scolari: "Goddammit! I swear if you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times... I'm outta here! "

Baxter Cain: "When I see one of baseketball's hottest stars with less than 20 dollars in his pocket, driving an American car and sharing a small house with two other guys, you know what that says to me?"
Douglas "Swish" Reemer: "Homos?"

Baxter Cain: "Do you think Shaq got rich playing in Orlando? Hardly, he made his fortune moving to L.A. You know how much he makes now?"
Douglas "Swish" Reemer: "As much as he made playing in college?"

Dan Patrick: "With the first nine months of the Baseketball postseason out of the way, the playoff picture is starting to emerge."
Kenny Mayne: "So, with last night's victory over Boston, next week the Milwaukee Beers must beat Indianapolis in order to advance to Charlotte. That's in an effort to reduce their magic number to three."
Dan Patrick: "Right, and then the Beers can advance to the National Eastern Division North to play Tampa."
Kenny Mayne: :So, if the Beers beat Detroit and Denver beats Atlanta in the American Southwestern Division East Northern, then Milwaukee goes to the Denslow Cup, unless Baltimore can upset Buffalo and Charlotte ties Toronto, then Oakland would play LA and Pittsburgh in a blind choice round robin. And if no clear winner emerges from all of this, a two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned. "

Maybe a little Tropic Thunder

Les Grossman: "Now I want you to take a step back... and literally f*** your own face!

Kirk Lazarus: "Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed"

Les Grossman: "I couldn't have done it without you."
Studio Executive Rob Slolom: "Really?"
Les Grossman: "No, d*ckhead. Of course I could. A nutless monkey could do your job. Now, go get drunk and take credit at all the parties."

D. Bergin 01-17-2011 02:18 PM

From "Blood Simple" one of my favorite movies:

Marty: [to Ray, out in back of the bar] You think I'm funny, I'm an a**hole? No no no... what's funny is HER... what's funny is, I had you two followed, because if it's not you she's sleeping with, it's someone else... what's funny is, when she gives you that LOOK, and says, 'I don't know what you're talkin' about, Ray, I ain't done nothin' funny'... but the funniest thing to ME is... you think SHE came back HERE for YOU... THAT'S what's F**KIN' FUNNY!

Later in the film:

Abby to Ray: I ain't done nothing funny.


The genius part about this pair of scenes is they intersect perfectly 40 minutes apart from each other, and like the rest of the movie, they have a completely different meaning to the characters in the movie, then they do to the audience watching the movie.

Nobody outsmarts anybody but themselves.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Vision Quest

I was in the room here one day… watchin’ the Mexican channel on TV. I don’t know nothin’ about Pele. I’m watchin’ what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps in the air and flips into a somersault and kicks the ball in – upside down and backwards… the goddamn goalie never knew what the f*** hit him. Pele gets excited and he rips off his jersey and starts running around the stadium waving it around his head. Everybody’s screaming in Spanish. I’m here, sitting alone in my room, and I start crying. [pause] That’s right, I start crying. Because another human being, a species that I happen to belong to, could kick a ball, and lift himself, and the rest of us sad-assed human beings, up to a better place to be, if only for a minute… let me tell ya, kid – it was pretty goddamned glorious. It ain’t the six minutes… it’s what happens in that six minutes.

I agree that Blood Simple is a great movie.

But, also from Casablanca, Bogart to Bergman:

"Go ahead and shoot. You'll be doing me a favor."

And, from Animal House, Bluto:

Pretty long quote but ALWAYS worth the read...
 
"Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come."

Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin. His head smashed in and heart cut out, and his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, and his nostrils ripped and his bottom burned off and his penis...

Minstrel: [singing] Brave Sir Robin ran away...
Sir Robin: *No!*
Minstrel: [singing] bravely ran away away...

Bad News Bears

Tanner Boyle: All we got on this team are a buncha Jews, spics, n****rs, pansies, and a booger-eatin’ moron!

You didn't come into this life just to sit around on a dugout bench, did ya? Now get your ass out there and do the best you can-- Coach Morris Buttermaker

Tanner Boyle: Hey Yankees... you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!

Tanner Boyle: Those Yankees are real turds.

Fight Club Quotes

Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy s**t we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Tyler Durden: All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I f**k like you wanna f**k, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.

Tyler Durden: You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your f**king khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

Tyler Durden: Shut up! Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?
Narrator: No, no, I... don't...
Tyler Durden: Listen to me! You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.
Narrator: It isn't?
Tyler Durden: We don't need him!

Tyler Durden: Do you know what a duvee is?
Narrator: It's a comforter...
Tyler Durden: It's a blanket. Just a blanket. Now why do guys like you and me know what a duvee is? Is this essential to our survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word? No. What are we then?
Narrator: ...Consumers?
Tyler Durden: Right. We’re consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra.
Narrator: Martha Stewart.
Tyler Durden: F**k Martha Stewart. Martha's polishing the brass on the Titanic. It's all going down, man. So f**k off with your sofa units and Strinne green stripe patterns.

Tyler Durden: The liberator who destroyed my property has realigned my perceptions.

Tyler Durden: Self improvement is masturbation. Now self destruction...

Narrator: I flipped through catalogs and wondered: What kind of dining set defines me as a person?

Narrator: Tyler, I'm grateful to you; for everything that you've done for me. But this is too much. I don't want this.
Tyler Durden: What do you want? Wanna go back to the s**t job, f**kin' condo world, watching sitcoms? F**k you, I won't do it.

Marla Singer: I've been going to Debtors Anonymous. You want to see some really f**ked-up people...

Tyler Durden: Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly cannot think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned- Tyler.

Tyler Durden: My dad never went to college, so it was real important that I go. So I graduate, I call him up long distance, I say "Dad, now what?" He says, "Get a job." Now I'm 25, make my yearly call again. I say Dad, "Now what?" He says, "I don't know, get married." We're a generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need.


"To speak of just or unjust in itself is quite senseless; in itself, of course, no injury, assault, exploitation, destruction can be 'unjust,' since life operates essentially, that is in its basic functions, through injury, assault, exploitation, destruction and simply cannot be thought of at all without this character." -- Friedrich Nietzsche

Most moral philosophers consciously or unconsciously assume the essential correctness of our cultural sexual code ... they debate how the human animal can be induced or forced to obey this code, blandly ignoring the high probability that the heartaches and tragedies they see all around them originate in the code itself rather than the failure to abide by the code.
--Jubal Harshaw, Stranger In A Strange Land

Grok!--Stranger In a Strange Land

The more you drive, the less intelligent you are--Repo Man


Mr. Braddock: Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Benjamin: You got me.

In memory of Leslie Nielsen:

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing smoking"

"Surely you must be joking"
"I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley"

"You’d better tell the Captain we’ve got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital."
"A hospital? What is it?"
"It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing drinking"

"Nice beaver"
"Thank you. I just had it stuffed"

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing amphetamines"

"The truth hurts, doesn’t it, Hapsburg? Oh sure, maybe not as much as landing on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts!"

"All right, Striker, you listen, and listen close. Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle; it's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes"

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue"

A favorite of mine from The Producers:

Max: The play was wrong, the actors were wrong, the director was wrong...where did I go right!?
