Favorite movie quotes

[lovecraft68]

In my writing I rely a lot more on dialogue than narrative, my characters carry the story in words and deed

Because of my fondness for dialogue, great lines in movies really stand out to me. Usually ones that are snarky or funny because I use a lot of sarcasm in my stories, but a good line is a good line.

So what are some of your favorites and from what movie?

 

[lovecraft68]

Kicking it off with one from the movie Se7en

Brad Pitt to Morgan Freeman "Just because he has a library card doesn't make him Yoda."

 

[lovecraft68]

Another one from Pitt this from Fight Club

"How's that working out for you, being clever?"

Godfather: Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

Buckaroo Banzai: Wherever you go, there you are.

Goodfellas: What's so funny about me?

Bride of Frankenstein: Friend!

King Kong: It was beauty killed the beast.

Planet of the Apes: Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!

Unforgiven: Kid: Well, I guess he had it coming. Will: We all have it coming, kid.

Unforgiven is one hell of a movie, Clint at his finest.

"Yeah, I've killed women and children, killed most everything that's walked or crawled at one time or another, and I'm here to kill you."

One of the most quotable characters to me is Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday from Tombstone.

"He reminds me of me...now I know I hate him."

 

[Lori_the_Hoosier]

John Cusack as hitman Martin Blank in 'Grosse Pointe Blank':

"If I show up at your door, it's because you did something to bring me there'

 

[lovecraft68]

Roadhouse...a great example of shut the brain down and go for a fun ride, and full of good lines

"Nothing I'm not used to, but its amazing what you can get used to"


And the infamous "I used to fuck guys like you in prison."

 

[SamScribble]

Ray (In Bruges): 'I used to hate history. It's all a lot of stuff that's already fuckin' happened.'

 

[SamScribble]

Ken (In Bruges): 'Harry, let’s face it. And I’m not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you’re a cunt. You’re a cunt now, and you’ve always been a cunt. And the only thing that’s going to change is that you’re going to be an even bigger cunt.'

So many quotes...

One of my favourites is from Clint Eastwood's Josey Wales...
Although so many quotes from the film...
Faced with the Indian chief Ten Bears..near the end.

I can't remember the full dialogue but he slaps his pistols
".....I came here like this so you'll know my word of death is true and my word of life is then true...."

Second hand lions...
In the bar fight...
Robert Duvall, "There's only four of them..."
Michael Caine, "You fight this one first... then I'll let you fight the other three after...okay?"

 

[Lori_the_Hoosier]

Minnie Driver in 'Grosse Pointe Blank'

Some of you come here to take stock of your lives; know what I say? Leave the livestock alone

 

[lovecraft68]

No quote discussion is complete without the iconic Roddy Piper line from They Live.

"I've come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, I'm all out of bubblegum

 

[jaF0]

No quote discussion is complete without the iconic ...

' ... Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself ...'

 

[SimonDoom]

Unforgiven is one hell of a movie, Clint at his finest.

"Yeah, I've killed women and children, killed most everything that's walked or crawled at one time or another, and I'm here to kill you."

Gene Hackman's character, Little Bill, has great lines in that movie too.

Lying on the floor, bleeding and dying: "I don't deserve this. I was building a house."

Clint/William Munny: Deserves got nothing to do with it.

Little Bill: I'll see you in hell, William Munny.

Blam.


That was one of Clint's best acting performances, but I think he's a little underrated as an actor. And he's an excellent director. Mystic River was a gut puncher of a movie.

 

[SimonDoom]

Ken (In Bruges): 'Harry, let’s face it. And I’m not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you’re a cunt. You’re a cunt now, and you’ve always been a cunt. And the only thing that’s going to change is that you’re going to be an even bigger cunt.'

That is an EXCELLENT movie. Weird. One of a kind.

"My name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."
Princess Bride

This is such a great movie!

 

[lovecraft68]

"My name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."
Princess Bride

This is such a great movie!

Gave us the all time classic "You keep using that word. I do not thing it means what you think it means"

 

[SimonDoom]

"My name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."
Princess Bride

This is such a great movie!

Yes! and full of many great quotes. A few more:

"You've fallen for one of the two classic blunders! The first being never get involved in a land war in Asia but only slightly lesser known: never go against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line!"

Buttercup: "Westley, what about the ROUSes?"
Westley: "Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist."

A few more favorite movie lines:


"Rollo Tomasi."

"No, Mr. Bond, I want you to die."

"You looking at me?"

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave."

"Yo, Adrian!"

"I admire its purity. A survivor. Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."

"Nobody's perfect."

"Soylent green is people."

"I'm Spartacus."

"So it shall be written. So it shall be done."

"Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away, away, brave brave Sir Robin. When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes brave Sir Robin turned about, and gallantly he chickened out."

"I'm glad what I done to you, you hear that?"

"We're gonna need a bigger boat."

Yes! and full of many great quotes. A few more:

"You've fallen for one of the two classic blunders! The first being never get involved in a land war in Asia but only slightly lesser known: never go against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line!"

My wife is 100% Sicilian and a big fan of the movie, once in awhile she uses that line.

I then ask her how it worked out for him in the movie

 

[lovecraft68]

Jaws is one of the movies I can quote from the most

"Hooper, quit playin with yourself"

"Why don't you come down here and chum some of this shit?"

"That's one bad hat Harry!"

Not exactly a quote, but that chilling story Robert Shaw tells about delivering the bomb and the ship sinking and the sharks picking off the survivors was delivered while he was totally shitfaced.

Legendary.

Joe Patroni : That's one nice thing about the 707. It can do everything BUT read.

-------------

Capt. Benson : You might tell your mechanic that I've got three million miles in the air.

Joe Patroni : And two and a half feet into the ground


-------------------


Joe Patroni : You might fly these things but I take them apart and put them back together again. If you had any guts we'd be on the runway by now.

I often use this in meetings:

"If you were right I'd agree with you."
