What are your favorite movie lines that you try to use in conversation?

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

"What we have here is a failure to communicate." Cool Hand Luke


Two of my favorites....

actually not IN the movie but from cut scenes from "Jaws"

The guy who ties up Sherriff Brody's boat in another scene

My husband and I have a couple:

Would you like a little help with the bags? Young Frankenstein...

And from a book whose title I do not recall: Roodle......and Purty good! It was a book about life in a hospital from the perspective of a medical student, and it was weird!

We use these all the time!

:hi:

:)

and I'll burn your house down".

And "Yes, it is" when people ask me if I want something, but just say something like "Cigarette?" or "Candy?"

and variations thereof - I always liked that one.

Jack Nicholson Witches of Easwick :woohoo: :hi:

or riffing on one.

Very niiice
What a strange person
As you wish
goes to 11
The entire scripts of Caddyshack, Grail, Tap, Fletch, Princess Bride

The list is endless. I know, it's inconceivable!

It is hysterical.

"It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut."

Actually not a movie - from the "Dead Parrot Sketch".

"Lovely plumage!"

Norwegian blue....beautiful plumage

:hi:

I always liked that line. LOL

I'm feeling better really....

AWESOME!

Mine is the same way! :hi:

So many great lines...

Help Help, I'm being repressed.

'ow do you know he's a king?
he hasn't got shit all over 'im.

I was walking somewhere in downtown Hartford, CT with a friend of mine. We were quoting Monty Python back & forth and were fairly enthusiastic.

From the old TV show, there was a skit about The Bishop where (I think) Michael Palin's character says, "All Right Devious, Don't Move!"

So, I yell out the line and jumped to add emphasis - and, right at that time, a young woman rounds the corner and I jumped almost right in front of her while shouting that line... the poor woman, who was all by herself, looked like she had a heart attack. I felt so bad for her.

And several lines later.....

"you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you."

God, I wouldn't know where to begin! I'll have to come up with a good one and get back witch ya!

"What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior!"

"'COURSE it's a good idea!"

"I call it 'crap' and it gets me very irritated because it is not logical."




(The latter isn't actually from the movie, but from the Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film.)

"Nobody fucks with the Jesus" (Big Lebowski)
"We don't need no stinking badges" (Treasure of the Sierra Madre, though slightly altered)
While pointing at different people "Fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you" (Half Baked)
And of course when saying goodbye to someone "I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow".

from Matrix Revolutions, of course. This mostly is uttered to my husband, or to my kids.

And to my sister, I often say "thaaaack you" in my verybest Ruprecht the Monkey Boy impression from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It's not a very good impression but it makes us giggle.

Another Ruprecht classic.

"You crazy son of a bitch! I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll fuckin' kill you!" (from "Taxi Driver")

"It's 'Daddy,' you shithead! Now where's my bourbon?" (from "Blue Velvet")

"Ya like pornos? Give ya a boner?" (from "Lost Highway")

"We believe in NOTHING! NOTHING, Lebowski!" (from you-know-where)

any of the drill sergeant lines from "Full Metal Jacket"

Always a favorite quote with my friends and I.

nt

One of my favorites;

"When you're cock's inside me, it talks to me." (Wild at Heart)

Other favorites of mine;

"Are you a bad boy?" (Blue Velvet)

"Is this some kind of bust?"
"Uh, yes, it's very impressive." (Naked Gun 2 1/2)

From "Crimes of Passion", which has GREAT lines;

"Oh, a man of words. He makes up in DICtion what he lacks in DICK."

"These are the devil's playthings, and those that touch them will burn."

"The Women" has terrific lines;

"And as you say, you have so MANY men..."

"Let's all have another little drinkie.."

"I've had two years to grow claws, mother; jungle red!"

"There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in polite society; outside of a kennel."


My most overused movie quote;

"I'm so TIRED of being good..." (Crybaby)

from Dr Strangelove.

I love that movie!
I think it gets funnier every time I watch it... and I've watched it a lot!

One of the great dark comedies and it's all in the subtleties.

Colonel "Bat" Guano: Okay. I'm gonna get your money for ya. But if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what's gonna happen to you?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: What?

Colonel "Bat" Guano: You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.



The beautiful thing about this exchange is it is so dated. They needed change to use in a pay telephone.

This after the President of the U.S. asks how a psychotic could have the power to launch a nuclear war all by himself.

And one more good exchange. I really have to rent this movie and have some friends over.

General Jack D. Ripper: I shouldn't tell you this, Mandrake, but you're a good officer and you've a right to know. It looks like we're in a shooting war.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Oh, hell. Are the Russians involved, sir?

It keeps getting funnier the more you watch it.

"Why would you keep a weapon like this a secret?"
"You know how the Premier loves a surprise."

"We're still working on that last line, sir."


Ok. That does it. I'm watching Dr Strangelove tonight. :)

General "Buck" Turgidson: We-he-ell, uh, I'd like to hold off judgement on a thing like that, sir, until all the facts are in.

That one.

I was gonna use that one!! I'm an English teacher so I get to use that one all the time. :P I love that whole exchange.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?" I use that one a lot too. Classic.

...from "Buckaroo Banzai." From the same movie: "The deuce, you say!"

Oh, and from "The Outlaw Josey Wales": "You gonna pull those pistols, or whistle 'Dixie?'" and also, "I reckon so."

And finally, from "The Godfather Part I," courtesy of Jimmy Caan's character, whenever I see someone reading a book at an inappropriate time: "Save if for the lie-berry."

The Hunt for Red October

lotr - Aragorn to the army of the dead used as a joke on my husband frequently.

I understand he turns and faces a different direction each time he switches to a new character speaking, there by adding a manic energy and sense of excitement to his delivery.

Gosh, he's so funny.

~Office Space

that they were putting new cover sheets on their TPS reports last year. He framed it.

where he says something about every day being a vacation, every meal a banquet, etc, etc.

I just change it to wherever I'm working one of those many late nights at year-end where I say, "every day in XYZ department is like a vacation..."

Bill Paxton's character from the same flick.

Joe vs. The Volcano...the movie wasn't anything special I just love Meg Ryan playing that particular character. I imitate her speech pattern and breathy voice whenever possible (it was the twin (?) sister part to her leading lady role).

"Feel like I'm trapped! Like I'm caught in a web!"

Both from High Anxiety

from Heat.

In fact, Mr. kt quotes Heat all the time. Let me repeat that for proper emphasis. All. The. Time.

We also quote The Simpsons on a regular schedule. And I make the "Marge Moan" when I'm harassing Mr. kt.

And, whenever we hear some extremely crazed right-wing fundy-fruitcake, we quote from Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby "I like the Christmas Jesus best, better than grown up Jesus, or teenage Jesus, or bearded Jesus..." (not an exact quote, but it suites it's purposes!)

Love that little guy.

I'm not just here to twist your nibblets...Me myself and Irene

I'm here to kick ass and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum. Can't remember, think it was Stallone

Casablaca has so many-I'll just mention the film.

If you love someone sayit right then before the moment passes My Best Friends Wedding

Sometimes there just isn't enough rock /Stupid is as stupid does Forest Gump

I've worn dresses with higher IQ's Fish called Wanda

Well raise my rent/Mongo just pawn in game of life/Rest your sphincters/you use your tongue prettier than a $20 Whore....Blazing Saddles

Your dumb...I like that in a man...Body Heat

We're on a mission for God...Blues Brothers

The Wizard of Oz.....

I love to work quotes into every day speech. It's a game with me...the more outrageous, the better

and was uttered by wrestler/thespian Rowdy Roddy Piper. Great movie! I think it came true, too.

whenever possible when watching baseball :evilgrin:

That one was a fave YEARS before I ever saw an actual Circle-K.
I had no idea it was a real chain store until 1998.

"You talking to me?" Taxi Driver

"God bless us everyone." A Christmas Carol

"Who you gonna call?" Ghost Busters

The number of times I've used this is in the upper teens (that's the exponent) ;-)

But for the life of me, I can never manage to be on the scene of a mob killing. However, I have actually said "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley".

And this has to be one of the funniest exchanges of all time......

Jane: I've heard police work is dangerous.
Frank: It is. That's why I carry a big gun.
Jane: Aren't you afraid it might go off accidentally?
Frank: I used to have that problem.
Jane: What did you do about it?
Frank: I just think about baseball.

Yippie KaYaaaay Mother Fucker! (it just comes out when I'm riding the edge somewhere.) Some Bruce Willis flick

I'm the damn paterfamilias! (instead of shut up and listen to me) Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

:hi:

Edit: missed one

From the classic, "Bull Durham."

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"

"You're a looney..."

From Monty Python and the Holy Grail. My friends and I are always quoting that movie.

Heh, heh. I like the Cool Hand Luke line a lot but I twist mine to mean "shut up":

"What we need here is a failure to communicate".

"Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, ..."

OK, so I don't get a lot of house guests.

I've used many of the lines from One Eyed Jacks over the years. Especially, "you ain't nothin but a one eyed jack". Used on bureaucrats many times. What does it mean?

with my friends we quote The Big Lebowski almost constantly.

Safe to say if you want something we can get it for you by 3 o'clock this afternoon. You don't want to know about it, but there are ways.

Also anytime there is a stain from American Psycho, "It's cranberry juice, cranapple."

I wish that movie was more popular because I really want to use the "Not if you want to keep your spleen," line when a waiter asks if I want to hear the specials.

And lately it isn't a movie, but The Flight of the Conchords. Someone will bust out, "it's business it's business time."

Holly Hunter in Raising Arizona. Only I substitute whatever I need in place of "baby." The accent and facial expression is key.
