Movie catchphrases

[Virtual_Burlesque]

They're showing "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" on AMC right now...no really memorable lines ...

What about:

“This is the west. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” — The reporter to Jimmy Stewart in “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.”

 

[SnoopDog]

ok, talking about catchphrases, let me be the one to mention the one from my most favourite movie.....

'My precccccccious !'

Come on guys, that one was obvious.

Quiet-Cool: Apologies. I always seem to misquote that line; should know better by now.

One of my all time favourite films:

"Now, what was I doing?"
"I have this... condition."
"The present is trivial, which I write down as fucking notes.

Memento

Pear: If you haven't seen that one either, then I'm going to write you a list (starting with the Italian Job and Memento).

The Earl

Seems we got something in common. 'Memento' is my most favourite non-LOTR movie.

It's second to no other movie alike. Great example of masterpiece-filmmaking.

I love women with big guns.

 

[CharleyH]

Some UK cinema group came up with this list. I didn't know no. 7, and haven't seen no. 9 but do know the phrase. I'm surprized Casablanca's "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship" didn't make it. How about you, any special phrases that have stayed with you? - Perdita

TOP TEN FILM CATCHPHRASES

1. "You talkin' to me?" - Taxi Driver (1976)
2. "The name's Bond, James Bond" - Dr No (1962)
3. "What's it all about?" - Alfie (1966)
4. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" - Gone with the Wind (1939)
5. "We're gonna need a bigger boat" - Jaws (1975)
6. "No one puts baby in the corner" - Dirty Dancing (1987)
7. "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" - The Italian Job (1969)
8. "May the force be with you" - Star Wars (1977)
9. "Show me the money!" - Jerry Maguire (1996)
10. "Yeah baby, yeah!" - Austin Powers (1997)

Hm - I don't know P. Dirty Dancing? The Italian Job? I am not sure those will stand the test of time. I am with you on Cassablanca. What about "It's showtime folks," from All that Jazz.

What about something by Bette Davis. I don't recall which film, but I hear it all the time, something about "I have to wash my hair."

Surely Mae West said some good ones, and what about something from the Graduate?

Dirty Dancing? The Italian Job? Hmf.

Earl, I even have the Memento DVD, now quit fretting about me.

Charlus, Bette said, "I'd like ta kiss ya, but I just washed my hair." A much used line of hers from "All about Eve": "It's going to be a bumpy night."

rg, love your line about girls with big guns. You rock, mate.

Re: Re: Movie catchphrases

You don't know 'The Italian Job'? That's appalling! It's one of the great films of the 60s! Would have been just as big a case for "Hang on lads. I've got an idea." Iconic lines both.
