Favorite movie quotes

from one of my all time favorite movies, Before Sunrise:

You know what's the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you? It's when you remember how little you thought about the people you broke up with and you realize that is how little they're thinking of you.
 
Harry Monroe: Grandma was right. Cow shit for brains!
Skip Donahue: Me?
Harry Monroe: No, me!

Stir Crazy (1980)
 
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Ooh, but I still smell her.
[inhales deeply through nose]
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-ah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: pussy. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son? I'm givin' ya pearls here.

Great movie, and for the colonel's sentiments, well, I firmly believe there is a reason god saved Eve for last. It takes a lot or trail and error to create something as perfect as a woman.

Young Frankenstein is one massive favorite movie quote. Possibly the best comedy movie ever made.
 
I know you can fight. But it's our wits that make us men.


...and from the same film...


Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it.


Both from Braveheart. Horrible movie when it comes to following the actual history, but great as a MOVIE.

Braveheart is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable historical epic movies ever, and as history it's complete piffle. Gladiator is similar, although not quite as egregious in the details.

yes, I try to decide what's worse. The fact that the battle of Sterling Bridge is fought nowhere near a bridge, That Robert the Bruce was nowhere near Falkirk or that the french princess in the movie would have actually been between nine and twelve years old at the time. William Wallace was also not a commoner, but a member of the minor nobility. The portrayal of Edward's son as gay is an assumption based on stories that may or may not be true. A lot of people focus on the idea that there are no documents showing Wallace married his childhood sweetheart in secret... but there are enough stories that tell that part of the tale that most modern historians seem to regard that marriage as a case of "where there is smoke, there's fire. But there was no doctrine of Prima Nocte, so the reason given for the secrecy in the movie is false. There is some evidence that Wallace's first major act of rebellion did involve killing the local sheriff and that Muren may have been executed or abused by him.
 
Hamish: I should have remembered about the rocks...
William: Aye, you should have.
 
From the Movie Splendor in the Grass, screenplay by William Inge, the last lines of the movie, quoting from Wordsworth's "Intimations of Immortality."

Deanie: Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower, We will grieve not; rather find Strength in what remains behind.
 
Off subject of our movie quotes, but in Gunsmoke, why did no one ever mention Chester Goods's wooden, damaged, ruined leg? I'm talk about a gimp with a limp and not one time did an old lady say, "Will ya look at that poor man!!!!"
 
Pulp Fiction. Don't take it personally, but Tarantino, while talented I suppose, usually manages to rub me the wrong way.

I completely understand that. I loved THAT movie, because it was so inventive and fresh for its time, but I find most of his movies to be clever but somewhat juvenile. He's definitely talented, but he's full of himself and it interferes with the success of his movies. I thought the first three quarters of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was an excellent movie, but the final half hour ruined it for me. It was stupid, and it made a mockery of a tragic, awful event. I also don't like him as an actor and don't like that he casts himself in his movies.
