We need a movie quote thread. I need a movie quote thread. My sanity is slipping. Help me. "Help me, help you."

I think we came close with the 'Random One Liners' Thread, but it was quickly killed...

So, post here. Post often. Do not allow this thread to become monopolized by cujo, u2popmofo and co. :sexywink: :verysexywink:

Your favourite quotes. Your not-so-favourite quotes. Random movie quotes. Good films, bad films. Not porn films. Famous lines, unfamous lines. Tutti...

I shall begin:

Houston, we have a problem. -- Apollo 13

They fear us because we have the power to kill arbitrarily. A man commits a crime. He should know better. We have him killed and we feel pretty good about it. Or we kill him ourselves and we feel even better. That?s not power though. That?s justice. It?s different than power.
Power is when we have every justification to kill and we don?t.

-Schindler's List

i want to be the first to put in "no talent ass clown" as the world's best insult, even though office space wasn't my favourite movie...

*goes to think of some bill the butcher quotes*...i'm really bad at remembering quotes
 
why not? It was in the movie. It was the most famous quote of the movie. It was on the cover of the movie box for the movie. Used in the promos. Used in trailers. It is the movie....:wink:

Iwasbored, you are defininetly co. :sexywink: Although, my "Songs that should never be sung outloud" was hijacked pretty quickly....
 
it was not originally a movie quote, but it was quoted in a movie..thus it works...can we move on now?

"i do not think this word means what you think it means...."

This is bullshit - I want bush!

We've got no food, we've got no jobs, our pets heads are falling off!

'cause it was a quote from a true event that just happened to be made into a movie later

Ah, but the true quote was "Houston, we've had a problem."


And in that case we'd have to exclude many movies that are based on real events because those things may have already been said....it works.... peace?

Olive, why are you rejecting yourself?

Just a few from The Right Stuff

[opening line]
Ridley: [narrating] There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier.

Werner Von Braun: Our Germans are better than their Germans.

Alan Shepard: Dear Lord, please don't let me fuck up.
Gordon Cooper: I didn't quite copy that. Say again, please.
Alan Shepard: I said everything's A-OK.

Alan Shepard: Request permission to relieve bladder.

Chuck Yeager: I'm a fearless man, but I'm scared to death of you.
Glennis Yeager: Oh no you're not. But you oughta be.
 
Wag The Dog (always a little too close to the truth for my liking, but funny as hell)

Stanley Motss: The President will be a hero. He brought peace.
Conrad 'Connie' Brean: But there was never a war.
Stanley Motss: All the greater accomplishment.

Conrad 'Connie' Brean: A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

Stanley Motss: It's okay, he's not dead!
[gunshot]
Stanley Motss: Uh, strike that.

Stanley Motss: Why Albania?
Conrad 'Connie' Brean: Why not?
Stanley Motss: What have they done to us?
Conrad 'Connie' Brean: What have they done FOR us? What do you know about them?
Stanley Motss: Nothing.
Conrad 'Connie' Brean: See? They keep to themselves. Shifty. Untrustable.
 
cause I just saw it for the second time and it's in my head:

Aaaahh love - it is a motherfucker.

LOL! I was going to post the same quote! :laugh: I guess great minds think alike.


Ferris Bueller:

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once and awhile you could miss it."

"Ferris Bueller, you're my hero."

"Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads--they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."

"I heard that you were feeling ill, headache fever and a chill, I came to help restore your pluck, 'cause I'm the nurse who likes to..."

"In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the... Anyone? Anyone? ...the Great Depression, passed the... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered? ...raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics."

"Stealing, boning, blowing shit up."
 
Can anyone quote "Office Space"? I don't know the lines well enough(I've only seen the movie twice)but I love the bits about "um,yeah...today isn't a half day". Michael Bolton cracks me up.

It was kind of a lame quote. :| :shrug:

A better one:

"Sell crazy somewhere else, we're all stocked up here!"
~As Good As It Gets


"I'll be right here..."
~E.T. :heart:

"It's a musical journey"
Heh :p
 
From my all-time favorite comedy SPINAL TAP:

Lt. Hookstratten: May I start by saying how thrilled we are to have you here. We are such fans of your music and all of your records. I'm not speaking of yours personally, but the whole genre of the rock and roll.


David St. Hubbins: We say, "Love your brother." We don't say it really, but -
Nigel Tufnel: We don't literally say it.
David St. Hubbins: No, we don't say it.
Nigel Tufnel: We don't really, actually mean it.
David St. Hubbins: No, we don't believe it either, but -
Nigel Tufnel: But we're not racists.
David St. Hubbins: But that message should be clear.


Nigel Tufnel: You can't really dust for vomit.


David St. Hubbins: Well, I'm sure I'd feel much worse if I weren't under such heavy sedation.


David St. Hubbins: Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported.


Nigel Tufnel: It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.


Nigel Tufnel: The sustain, listen to it.
Marty DiBergi: I don't hear anything.
Nigel Tufnel: Well you would though, if it were playing.


Derek Smalls: It's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.


Marty DiBergi: "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry."
Nigel Tufnel: That's just nitpicking, isn't it?


Marty DiBergi: Do you feel that playing rock 'n' roll music keeps you a child? That is, keeps you in a state of arrested development?
Derek Smalls: No. No. No. I feel it's like, it's more like going, going to a, a national park or something. And there's, you know, they preserve the moose. And that's, that's my childhood up there on stage. That moose, you know.
Marty DiBergi: So when you're playing you feel like a preserved moose on stage?
Derek Smalls: Yeah.


Ian Faith: Nigel gave me a drawing that said 18 inches. Now, whether or not he knows the difference between feet and inches is not my problem. I do what I'm told.
David St. Hubbins: But you're not as confused as him are you. I mean, it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel.


Ian Faith: The Boston gig has been cancelled...
David St. Hubbins: What!?
Ian Faith: Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's not a big college town
 
"you just fired a gun at your imaginary friend near 400 gallons of nitroglicyride"

"...The Greatest Trick the Devil Ever Pulled Was Convincing The World He Didn't Exist..."

Elwood: "it's a hundred miles to Chicago...we've have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses"
Jake: "hit it!"
 
Fredo, you're my older brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever.

It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business


-My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.
-Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed!
-Oh? Who's being naive, Kay?

Now you listen to me, you smooth talking son-of-a-bitch! Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is. Johnny Fontane willl never get that movie! I don't care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!

Do you know who I am? I'm Moe Greene! I was making my bones while you were going out with cheerleaders!

It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

You could act like a man! [slaps johnny] What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, some Hollywood finnochio that cries like a woman? [slaps johnny again] Oh, Godfather, what am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? [and again]

Tattaglia's a pimp

Leave the gun... take the cannolis


Senator we are part of the same hypocrisy, but never think it applies with my family

-uno, por favor... mikey how do you say bannana daquerie?
-bannana daquerie

Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

-I'm your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over!
-That's the way Pop wanted it...
-It's not the way I wanted it!

If anything in life is certain, if history has taught us anything, its that you can kill anyone.

It was you Fredo. I know it was you. You broke my heart. You broke my heart.
