What are some of your favorite all-time movie lines?

"That's a negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full."

"Yes, the way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"

[rhettyeakley]

"You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

"The funny thing is, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook"
or from the same movie...
"Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of s**t and came out clean on the other side"

My personal favorite is that last one!

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."

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.
