Favorite movie quotes

Mildred Rogers: You cad, you dirty swine! I never cared for you, not once! I was always makin' a fool of ya! Ya bored me stiff; I hated ya! It made me sick when I had to let ya kiss me. I only did it because ya begged me, ya hounded me and drove me crazy! And after ya kissed me, I always used to wipe my mouth! Wipe my mouth!

Of Human Bondage 1934
 
“Do you mind very much Mr. Shane, taking off your hat in the presence of a lady with a gun?” – Satan Met a Lady (1936)

“I’ll admit I may have seen better days, but I’m still not to be had for the price of a cocktail, like a salted peanut.” – All About Eve (1950)

“With all my heart, I still love the man I killed.” – The Letter (1940)

“Fasten your seat-belts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!” – All About Eve (1950)

“My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.” – Bette Davis, herself.

All of these, and the one in my previous post, are by Betty Davis; the last one isn't from a movie.
 
Blue Thunder

Jack Braddock: "You're supposed to be stupid, son. Don't abuse the privilege."
Lymangood: [voice on the cockpit voice recorder] I found out what JAFO is. "Just Another Fucking Observer", huh?

Icelan: [33:08] Well, look at that, all the red dummies are blown to hell.
Frank Murphy: And a few white ones!
Fletcher: One civilian dead for every ten terrorists. That's an acceptable ratio.
Frank Murphy: [Leaning closer to Braddock] Unless you're one of the civilians!
 
"You will wear a jacket, shirt and tie, if you don't have one, buy one, If you can't afford it, borrow one from your old man, if you don't have an old man,then find a drunk, trade em for his, Cause I guaratee there isn't a bum on the street that looks as raggedy and ridiculous as what I 'm lookin at right now."
Remember the Titans
You just made me remember Ferris Bueller's Day Off:

- You're Abe Froman?
- That's right, I'm Abe Froman
- The Sausage King of Chicago!
- Yeah, that's me…
- Listen young man, entre nous, I'm very busy. Why don't you take the kids and go back to the clubhouse?

Blue Thunder is one of those movies that never got the respect it deserved. A beast of a helicopter, Roy Scheider doing Roy Scheider things, it was gritty, intense, and actually had some teeth. So naturally, because we can't have nice things, I heard Columbia Pictures wants to remake it... with drones. Drones. Like some soulless flying tax form is going to capture the same raw, menacing energy. It’s not just wrong, it’s an insult. You might as well remake Jaws with a particularly aggressive roomba at that point.
 
"If you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners corrupted from infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded, sire, but that you first make thieves and then punish them?"

An aggressive roomba would make about as bad a movie as a refigerator that eats people. It was made (mentioned in the documentary, unfortunately only a clip is included):

 
You'd better get rid of that gun, unless you haven't got the guts. And if you don't, you'd better hang on to it!
 
I'd rather be a cockroach on a baseboard up here than the Emperor of Mississippi.
 
(Sergeant Hulka) "You know something soldier? I've noticed you're always last."
(Private Winger) "I'm pacing myself, Sergeant."

(Psycho) "The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill ya.
(Leon) Ooooooh.]
(Psycho)"You just made the list, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill ya. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos... touch me, I'll kill ya."
(Sergeant Hulka) "Lighten up, Francis. One of these men may save your life one day, ya understand that?"
(Private Winger) "Then again, maybe one of us won't."

(Melvin) "You Make me want to be a better man."

(Rhomann dey) "He said that he may be an... a-hole. But he's not, and I quote, '100% a dick'."
(Nova Prime) "Do you believe him?"
(Rhomann dey) Well, I don't know if I believe anyone is 100% a dick..."

(Denarian Saal) "Peter Quill, this is Denarian Saal. For the record, I advised them against trusting you."
(Peter Quill[to Gamora) "They got my dick message!"

(Peter Quill) What should we do next: Something good, something bad? Bit of both?
(Gamora) We'll follow your lead, Star-Lord. - Zoe delivers those last two words in the sexiest way possible, and even I was like "Yeah, I definitely would." 😚

Good Will Hunting

Sean Maguire:
"So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my fucking life apart. You're an orphan right?
[Will nods]
You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some fuckin' book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief."

Men in Black:
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

Under Siege:
I got tired of coming up with last-minute desperate solutions to impossible problems created by other fucking people.
 
From Real Genius (1985):

Military Liaison: Where's the laser, Jerry?

Prof. Jerry Hathaway: "It's coming."

ML: "Coming? Ha! It's not even breathing hard."
 
When it comes to marriage, one man is as good as the next. And even the least accommodating is less trouble than a mother.
 
(Reloading in the middle of a gunfight)
Marlboro: You know, that gun costs about two dollars every time you fire it. That's two bucks a bullet.
Harley Davidson: Well how many'd I hit?
Marlboro: You spent twelve dollars and didn't hit a goddamn thing. I nailed one and it cost about four and a quarter.

For a mostly terrible movie, it really did have some fun bits.
