Favorite Lines From A Movie

[bags27]

Speaking of Peter O' Toole (the world's most phallic name!), one of my very favorite lines is in The Ruling Class where psychiatrists ask him why he thinks he's God. His reply: "I find that when I pray, I'm talking to myself."

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

(Patton)

 

[itsasport]

"Badges, we don't need no stinking badges."

Origionally the book, and then movie of the 1920's, "Treasure of the Sierra Madre," and oft copied.

Great thread!

Jim Carrey character in Dumb and Dumber, Lloyd Christmas, told by Lauren Holly`s character, Mary Swanson, that he has a one in a million shot with her:

"So you're telling me there`s a chance!"

I still get a laugh from Mr De Niro in Ronin every time I hear Sean Bean ask him if he's ever killed anyone. De Niro's deadpan reply, "No, but I hurt a guy's feeling once". It's better coming from him.

 

[connie]

from "Nobody's Fool" (1994):

Sully (Paul Newman) (upon being informed by his lawyer that he doesn't celebrate Christmas because he's Jewish): "You're Jewish? Huh... I never knew that... How come you're not smart?"

Good one Huskee11. That movie is full of quotables. "Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen."

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:

"I can't swim".

"Well hell, the fall will probably kill you".

Taken:

"Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you".

"I will find you;
I will kill you".

"Good luck".

Love this thread: all these are fabulous, and could go on forever. Here's 2:

Stanley Kowalski: Hey, Stella! Hey, Stellaaa!

And a tip 'o the hat to Scoop, above: "You've got to ask yourself a question: 'do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

Old dude and you were the inspiration.

"I'm shocked, shocked to find there's gambling going on in here" (Casablanca)

&

"There's no crying in baseball."
(A League of Their Own)

Why has everyone forgotten "'Round up the usual suspects"?

 

[nwhoopfan]

The Princess Bride is full of them too.

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

"No more rhymes now, I mean it."
"Anybody want a peanut?"

 

[nwhoopfan]

Why has everyone forgotten "'Round up the usual suspects"?

That reminds me:

"Who is Keyser Soze?"

 

[oldude]

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."

(The Wizard of Oz)

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tom Cruise has been in a handful of quotable movies. From Jerry Maguire:

"Show me the money!"

"You had me at hello."

Top Gun:

"I feel the need, the need for speed."

If Game Of Thrones can be considered a movie then,

"Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder."

If not then, King Kong:

" 'Twas beauty killed the beast".

The Terminator:

"I'll be back".

Wall Street:

"Greed is good".

The Sixth Sense:

"I see dead people".

Die Hard:

"Yipee ki yay MF-er".

A Tale Of Two Cities:

"Tis a far, far better thing than I've ever done before.
"Tis a far, far better place I go than I've ever been before".

That scene from "BASIC INSTINCT" (No, not that one)

Here's a quote I kept in my wallet for years:
"I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them."

Anyone know the actor and the Movie?

The Duke from "the Shootist" I believe, a movie title that Wayne never liked.

I should have precluded you and Rocky from venturing guesses. You because you've probably seen very Duke movie and Rocky because with all his monitors humming, it is probably playing on one of them right now! Good job my fine friend, good job.

"That'll be the day."

 

[BigBird]

From "Gettysburg," during a rebel artillary attack on Little Round Top:

"Tom, don't stand so near to me; another round that close and it could be a rough day for Mother."

- Jeff Daniels as Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, speaking to his younger brother

My favorite Wayne quote:

"Somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't."

Can you name the movie?
