Favorite movie quotes

[DreamingOfMyEx]

Movie quotes that were first said in real life by real people take on a special significance. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, son of the former President, was an Assistant Division Commander who insisted on landing with the first wave of his troops on D-Day at Normandy. Stricken with arthritis and destined to die a month later from heart disease, he conducted a personal reconnaissance of the area they landed while under fire, armed with his cane and a pistol. Determining they had been landed a mile or more off course, and faced with the decision of whether to go forward or make their way back to where they were supposed to be, he famously said

"We'll start the war from right here."

- From The Longest Day

"We go to the mattresses!" The Godfather

As I quoted it in the post just above, you might think I agree with you. Yes, I do.

Best Bette Davis line: "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."

I saw the photo, but I didn't see the post with the quote that preceded it!

 

[theWollstonecraftWoman]

From Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992.

Mina Harker: How did Lucy die? Was she in great pain?
Professor Abraham Van Helsing: Yeah, she was in great pain! Then we cut off her head, and drove a stake through her heart, and burned it, and then she found peace.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat." Jaws

 

[SimonDoom]

Y’know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don’t know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don’t know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin’ chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. He’d been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He’s a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water." Jaws

 

[MillieDynamite]

That's not a line in the movie, it was a tag line. Another tagline for the film was, "As if God created the devil and gave him JAWS"

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water." Jaws

 

[SimonDoom]

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world that he didn't exist."

The Usual Suspects

 

[MillieDynamite]

Is that in the movie or just a tag? It's been at least two years since I saw that movie and I don't remember the line in the movie, but my memory ain't all that great unless I love a movie and I didn't love it.

[AchtungNight]

From my favorite actress-

“I hate feeling fake more than anything in the world. People come at you with high expectations, but what if it has nothing to do with you? You lose track of yourself and that’s fake. Well, I’d rather fail doing my own thing than succeed at someone else’s. I’d rather be fighting with my family than pretending everything’s ok! Whatever you do, do it true!”

From Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, 1958

Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: You know what I feel like? I feel all the time like a cat on a hot tin roof.

It's in the movie. Verbal says it when he's talking to Agent Kujan.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Ah, I don't know why I didn't like the movie, well, I didn't hate it. But again, I didn't love it. Did you know that Irish whiskey is sweet and has a nice vanilla flavor? Wow, it's good without the coffee, neat in a glass. (is that the right spelling for no ice?)

"Oh, you look good enough to eat." Gone with the Wind

 

[MillieDynamite]

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." also Gone with the Wind.

"Tomorrow's another day." Again, Gone with the Wind.

 

[MillieDynamite]

The best line in Gone with the Wind is, "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies, Miss Scarlett."

 

[MillieDynamite]

First, let me say, not a big fan of either the book or movie Gone with the Wind. A slavery apologist wrote it. That's not someone saying they are sorry about slavery. That's a woman who defended slavery as a good notion. The book is an ode to the Antebellum South; she laments the lost cause. The slaves and freed negros were portrayed as stupid, lazy people, and the good ones loved being slaves. So, no, I'm not a fan.

Second, it was a brilliant movie but highly flawed and very racist.

"Caramel Machiato for fucking Pilgrim."

 

[HordHolm]

You can even make a game out of one of the best movie quotes:

Tuco: There are two kinds of spurs my friend, those who come up the stairs, and those who come in the window. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Which leads to the game of fill in the blanks: There are two kinds of [], those who [], and those who []

It's an incredibly entertaining yarn and epic romance, but for a contemporary reader it's hard to get past the treatment of slaves and the romanticization of the Southern cause.
