Favorite movie quotes

[mythtrav16]

Too many to list, but a couple that come to mind right off the top of my head:

"With all due respect sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour" (what really makes this line so great is that Ed Harris was essentially telling his boss to shut the hell up with his damned pessimism - and the boss backs down)

"I made a promise, Mr. Frodo! A promise! 'Don't you leave him, Samwise Gamgee!' And I don't mean to. I don't mean to."

"You yell barracuda, everybody says, "Huh? What?" You yell shark, we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July."

 

[AchtungNight]

“Let’s not lie to each other, Katniss. This will be easier on us both if we avoid that.”

- President Snow, Hunger Games 2.

“First I’m going to rip open the buttons on your blouse one by one, then slowly pull your jeans off inch by inch, lower my lips to your bare heaving breasts…”

“Who is this?”

“Sarah? Shit! Uh, can I talk to Ginger please?”

[giggles] “One sec. Ginger, it’s Matt!”

[Matt nervously starts his sex chat again once the right girl is on the phone]

- The Terminator.

I'm guessing it was this guy:

“Really? How bout fine piece of ass?”

Mickey: You're out of here, Jabbar!
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Are you nuts? It's my farewell game.
Mickey: Well then, let me be the first to say farewell.

Mickey Gordon: Grab your new best friends, Ben and Jerry, and let's turn your ass into a helipad.

Mickey: We were great in Paris.
Ellen: Forget Paris.
Mickey: Forget Paris? How do you forget the best week in your life?
Ellen: Maybe that's just all we were - just a great week.

Murray Hamilton and Roy Scheider, both underrated in general, were great in those roles.

"It's even better when you help"

Guess this was too subtle. One on the greatest kisses in movies

LAUNCELOT: We were in the nick of time, you were in great peril.
GALAHAD: I don't think I was.
LAUNCELOT: Yes you were, you were in terrible peril.
GALAHAD: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
LAUNCELOT: No, it's too perilous.
GALAHAD: Look, I'm a knight, I'm supposed to get as much peril as I can.

Dr. James C. Turner, Police Psychiatrist: I know, you saw this man disappear into thin air. Do you always see things?
Lou Francis: Only when my eyes are open.
Dr. James C. Turner, Police Psychiatrist: Did you ever see somebody disappear before?
Lou Francis: Yes, sir, I have.
Dr. James C. Turner, Police Psychiatrist: This may explain it, seeing things. When did this happen?
Lou Francis: One day me and my brother were walking down the street... my brother disappeared.
Dr. James C. Turner, Police Psychiatrist: Into thin air?
Lou Francis: No, into a manhole.

Lou Francis: [about graduating] This is the happiest day of my life. How did I ever graduate?
Bud Alexander: [whispering] I slipped the guy twenty bucks. Now keep quiet.

Dr. James C. Turner, Police Psychiatrist: [hypnotizing a man from the bar who saw Bud and Lou carry Tommy out] Now tell us again what you saw.

Dr. James C. Turner, Police Psychiatrist: Now tell us again what you saw.
Officer: I told you three times already.
Det. Roberts: Well, tell it to him again.
Officer: I saw a car with nobody driving somebody.

Chick Young: What's the matter?
Larry Talbot: I know you'll think I'm crazy, but... in a half-an-hour the moon will rise and I'll turn into a wolf.
Wilbur Grey: You and 20 million other guys!

Wilbur Grey: Well that's gonna cost you overtime because I'm a union man and I work only sixteen hours a day.
McDougal: A union man only works eight hours a day.
Wilbur Grey: I belong to two unions.

Chick Young: I know there's no such person as Dracula. You know there's no such person as Dracula.
Wilbur Grey: But does Dracula know it?

Chick Young: I saw what I saw when I saw it!

Wilbur Grey: You know that person you said there's no such person? I think he's in there... in person. I was reading this sign over here, Dracula's Legend. All of a sudden I heard...
[Wilbur imitates a creaking noise]
Chick Young: That's the wind.
Wilbur Grey: It should get oiled.

That photo didn't have the exact quote. It's here. Sorry, the scene is four minutes long, but the line is near the end if one wishes to skip most of it. I never noticed that Mayor Vaughn's sport coat is decorated with little anchors, and I've seen the movie twice.

I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Goudy: I believe you testified that you backed away from old man Wharton?
Rooster Cogburn: Yes, sir.
Goudy: Which direction were you going?
Rooster Cogburn: Backward. I always go backward when I'm backin' away.

Gino, Hitman: [as an accomplice is rubbing something on bullets to be used in the massacre, Gino explains what he's doing] Garlic - in case the bullets don't kill ya, you die of blood poisoning. (hitman, played by Jack Nicholson)

Narrator: , on the last morning of his life...

Reporter: Y'know, some are sayin' that it really was the cops who shot those men.
Bugs Moran: You must be new to this town, mister. Only Al Capone kills like that.

Capone: They don't call him Bug's for nutin'.

Will Halloway: If you're a good person, then demons can't harm you, can they? Am I? Am I a good person?
Charles Halloway: Well, I wouldn't count on your mother's answer right now, but I think you are.

Mr. Dark: Tasteless fare. Funerals, bad marriages, lost loves, lonely beds. That is our diet. We suck that misery and find it sweet. We search for more always. We can smell young boys ulcerating to be men a thousand miles off. And hear a middle-aged fool like yourself groaning with midnight despairs from halfway around the world.

Tom Fury: Some folks draw lightning to them as a cat sucks in a baby's breath.

Charles Halloway: I know who you are. You are the autumn people. Where do you come from? The dust. Where do you go to? The grave.
Mr. Dark: Yes. We are the hungry ones. Your torments call us like dogs in the night. And we do feed, and feed well.
Charles Halloway: To stuff yourselves on other people's nightmares.
Mr. Dark: And butter our plain bread with delicious pain. So, you do understand a little.

Charles Halloway: By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.

"Ahh, but the strawberries! That's - that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with - geometric logic - that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist!"

 

[MillieDynamite]

Cane Munity, a near-perfect movie and a great performance against his usual type by Bogart made the movie.

There were plenty of movie stars from the era, but Bogart was an actor. Even after Casablanca he played complex characters like in 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.'

Fun fact, Huston directed his father, Walter, to an Academy award in 'Treasure'. And later directed his daughter, Anjelica, to one.

Cane Munity, a near-perfect movie and a great performance against his usual type by Bogart made the movie.

Bogart is great in that movie playing a completely different sort of part. Jose Ferrer is wonderful too.

“A group of terrorists decided to send a little care package, box of goodies, which had to be defused before blowing up the office… [twangs guitar] so I took the rest of the day off. I tell you, this world is being fed-exed to hell in a handcart. I honestly believe anyone thinking about having a child right now is coldly considering an act of cruelty. Enough about my day. What’s your news?”

“I’m pregnant.”

- The Rock.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Not a movie, but the Deadwood TV series.

Wild Bill Hickok: Some goddamn time, a man's due to stop arguing with hisself, feeling twice the goddamn fool he knows he is because he can't be something he tries to be every goddamn day without once getting to dinnertime and not fuckin' it up. I don't want to fight it no more. Understand me, Charlie? And I don't want you pissing in my ear about it. Can you let me go to hell the way I want to?

One of the best military scenes I've ever watched was from "Saving Private Ryan", an exchange between Captain Miller and one of his Rangers. It's all about griping. Anyone who has served in the military knows that griping is a time-honored tradition. It never cures anything griped about, but it damn sure makes the gripees feel better about getting it out of their craw and it serves to draw a team closer together. The Captain's response to Reiben is a perfect example of a great leader, make a point but keep it light.

“I don’t gripe to you, Reiben,” Miller explains. “I’m a captain. There’s a chain of command. Gripes go up, not down. Always up. You gripe to me. I gripe to my superior officer, so on, so on, and so on. I don’t gripe to you. I don’t gripe in front of you. You should know that, as a Ranger.”

Reiben asks: “Say you aren’t a captain, or I’m a major. What would you say then?”

Captain Miller replies: "Well, in that case, I’d say this is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir. Moreover, I feel heartfelt sorrow for the mother of Pvt. James Ryan. And I’m willing to lay down my life and the lives of my men — especially you, Reiben — to ease her suffering.”
