Favorite line from a movie


Recommended Posts

My classic favorite- "Poor, poor Charlotte." (Anyone want to guess the movie?)

 

My new favorite-

 

Marion Ravenwood: I'm sure I wasn't the only one to go on with my life. There must have been plenty of women for you over the years.

Indiana Jones: There were a few. But they all had the same problem.

Marion Ravenwood: Yeah, what's that?

Indiana Jones: They weren't you, honey

 

That scene was worth the price of admission for me. Twice. ;)

 

My fav quote (and one I use often) is.....

 

It ain't the years, it's the mileage....Indiana Jones, Raiders.

"DO....not...SEEK...the...TREASURE."

 

and

 

"Walnut, Macadamia Nut, Peanut. Well that's really a legume." (This may not be an exact quote but if you've seen the movie you'll know what I'm talking about.)

 

and

 

Anyone? Anyone?

 

 

Know the movies?

 

We thought you was a toad. :D Love that movie!

Mine is a line that DH and quote to each other. I hate to admit the movie because it's notone that most of the people on this board would every watch.

 

"You're not much use to me alive are you, Turkish?" says Brick Top to Turkish in Snatch.

 

We pretty much use this line every single day.

Here are some pages with a few favorites, oh and I cheated, one page is on Firefly which is pure Joss genuis!

Many of our best are from Stripes and Arthur which we must have watched when they came out on betamax or vhs about 200 times.

And then, naturally, there is The Holy Grail. Nuff said.

From O Brother-

Now there's a good boy.

CAN'T I COUNT ON YOU PEOPLE??

Well I wasn't using it (his eternal soul)

I've said my piece and counted to ten.

Almost makes me wish I wasn't saved.

How's my hair?

We thought..........you was.......a toad.

He's a suiter!

Too many from OBro! My dh and kids will quote entire scenes.

And then anything from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

 

What about Sahara?? We quote Al to death. ANYTHING Al said.

 

I'll make him an offer he can't refuse.

Where's the rum?

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

 

Who knows this one worder?? UN....BE....LIEVABLE!

Oh, there are just TOO many. Like Kate (and others?) said, Napoleon offers a slew of great lines that I quote on a regular basis. Same is true of any Christopher Guest movie, but a lot of those lines just don't "work" in isolation. A handful of others I say most often are:

 

"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night." (All About Eve)

 

"There IS one, there IS one!!!" (must be expressed in an annoying, high-pitched tone a la Natalie Wood, upon discovering there IS a swing in the backyard! (Miracle on 34th Street)

 

"You're right, you're right, I know you're right." (When Harry Met Sally)

 

"Waiter, there is too much pepper on my paprikash." (same)

 

"Except for socially, you're my role model." (Broadcast News)

 

"I'm beginning to repel people I'm trying to seduce." (same)

 

"Janet, you rock my world." (Singles)

 

"I am all astonishment!" (P&P)

Excuse Me, I believe you have my stapler. (Office Space)

 

Oh $hit we're all gonna die!!!! :willy_nilly: Six Days Seven Nights....

 

This is the one MOST used in our house....when my 3 or 6 yr old come in screaming over nothing (as only a little girl can do!) Dh and I mouth this to each other over their heads.

The Network: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!!!"

 

You, Me, and Dupree:

"You're catching me on a day when I'm throwing...seven different kinds of smoke."

 

Star Trek VI

"You have a singular wit, doctor"

From "Avalon", dh and I still say, "You carved the turkey?!" and "The WING is on your FOOT!" and "What's the name of the movie about the stagecoach? - Stagecoach". None of these make any sense out of context, but that doesn't stop us.

 

From "Splash", I like to say, "I'll be back! I'll be back with NUCLEAR WEAPONS!"

 

And we still say, "Have fun storming the castle!"

 

Also lots of Monty Python lines. The fact that I could quote Monty Python lines was what first attracted my dh to me. (Aside from my incredible physical beauty, of course ;) ).

I just thought of some more:

 

"This is the single worst day of my entire life."- Sixteen Candles

 

"What will you do without freedom?!"- Braveheart

 

"You know how I know you're gay?(said back and forth between guys about ten times)- 40 year old Virgin

 

I also like the red pill/blue pill speech from The Matrix but can't remember it exactly.

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' 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.

 

- Monty Python and the Holy Grail

 

So many other quotes from that movie are also great!

 

Val

 

Love that one!

 

Other faves:

 

"Blessed are the Cheesemakers" (MP - Life of Brian)

"Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun" (Army of Darkness)

"She has the....wierding way" (Dune - David Lynch version)

"I like all that black sh@#" and "You never know when you may have to jam" (Breakfast Club)

Y'all reminded me of many more LOL .

 

One that hasn't come up yet, but is used often around here,

"Houston, we have a problem ..." followed by some crisis, but usually tongue in cheek. From Apollo 11 I think (and also from "history" apparently LOL)

 

Also, the kids quote something from that stupid cartoon movie about an alien creature landing in Hawaii? I can't remember the title of the movie - but the quote is somethign about bricks and knives ... "in a pillowcase" - well, it's funny and ya had to be there. I guess.

YES! And...

 

Pete: The Preacher said it absolved us.

Ulysses Everett McGill: For him, not for the law. I'm surprised at you, Pete, I gave you credit for more brains than Delmar.

Delmar O'Donnell: But they was witnesses that seen us redeemed.

Ulysses Everett McGill: That's not the issue Delmar. Even if that did put you square with the Lord, the State of Mississippi's a little more hard-nosed.

 

Or...

 

Tommy Johnson: I had to be up at that there crossroads last midnight, to sell my soul to the devil.

Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, ain't it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I'm the only one that remains unaffiliated.

Many of the ones already listed. We like the following from Scooby-Doo:

 

Or hydroclonic, but that's for a whole different reason, man.

 

 

Voodoo Maestro: Whatever you do dont go into that spooky island castle

Daphne: AH-HA you want me to go into that castle

Voodoo Maestro: didnt you hear what I just said

Daphne: But your scary and you knew I'd do the opposite of what you said so you told me not to go up to that castle so I would go up to that castle where you've set a trap to capture me

Daphne: unless... unless you knew Id figure it out so you told me not to go up to that castle so iIwould think that you wanted me to go so I wouldnt go just like you didnt want me to... I'll find out what your hiding in that castle you'll see

Voodoo Maestro: What in the world?

 

 

I also frequently say, "**** It Janet!" - I have no idea why. I mean I know where it's from, I just have no idea why I always say it.

 

I am sure that I will think of more later.
