All Time Best Movie One Liners
October 7th 2008 00:57
Lights, Cameras, Action!
Now timely as it was - in the current economic - Wall Street with its "Greed, for want of another word, is good . . . was the catalyst for this particular post followed soon after by the classic one-liner from The Blues Brothers - "We're on a mission from God."
And so the juices began to flow.
"Who you gonna call?"
"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
"Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?"
"Wax on, Wax off."
"Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
"Do you feel lucky punk? Well, do you?"
Yo Adrianne - do you have a favourite? One which immediately springs to mind?
Because frankly my dears I'm sure there are people who give a damn.

followed by another classic from 'some like it hot' - jack lemmon dressed as a woman and recounting his date with JE brown's character and announcing 'I'm engaged". Tony Curtis' character says "Congratulations. Who's the lucky girl?"
Jack Lemmon: "I am".

No.1 daughter watched (not once but probably three times) My Fair Lady (isn't it great to see even teens still being caught up in the classics) - and all I kept hearing for the next day or so was:
"Come on, Dover, move yer bloomin' arse"
Hardly ladylike - but obviously hit a chord.

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
-----There are so many great ones from the Princess Bride too lol.
After Vizzini cuts the rope that the Dread Pirate Roberts is climbing he says - "HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE."
Then Inigo Montoya replies, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
------
Vizzini again, after thinking he has won a battle of wits with Westley and avoids drinking the drink with the iocane powder in it...
"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
---one final one
Miracle Max - "You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles."
OK, that's all for now. Go watch the movie if you haven't seen it. . .
Anybody want a peanut?
(Sorry had to throw one more in that only those that have seen the film will understand.)

Ah, Dear Mr Nice Guy, for me the most memorable has to be Spiderman 3, when Tobey throws Eddie against the poster on the wall, and delivers...
"You want forgiveness? Get Religion."
I also like, from Californication (not a movie but oh well) "Im disgusted with myself, and my life. But Im not unhappy about that"
The coy look on Ange's face in Mr and Mrs Smith where she says,
"They will probably ask me to leave once you're dead"
The look she gives him in that scene....You know theyre doin it.
Oh, another tv one..Sort of. From Battlestar Galactica Razor
"The impression your daddy just gave you a Battlestar"
By the time I get back, Im likely to have remembered a LOT more!

I second that! One of the all time classics!
By the way, where's the last line from?
I thought Gone with the wind ended with 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" or does my memory fail me?

Love the 'That's some bad hat Harry" line - it's a bit like the old Family Ties line at the role out of the credits "Sit Ubu Sit" with the shot of the golden retriever.
Told you all this was a little like a Chinese buffet didn't I?
Cheers - and pass the dim sims will you

Almost every line from The Princess Bride. I'm forever running around saying "inconthievable".
And who hasn't said "I'll be back" in their best Arnie voice?
"May the Force be with you".
And my all time favourite - "Soylent Green is people".

Comment by Joey Oconnor
To defend my favorite superhero, who Cheryl J. hilariously disgraced right here; I thought Comish Gordon's last monologue in Dark Knight was great, as well as everything Heath Ledger says in the movie.
There are so many to add to this list but the one that immediately comes to mind is Matthew McConeghey's classic from Dazed and Confused: "That's why I like high school girls. I get older, they stay the same age." (Is it just me or its that really creepy that that is the first quote to come to my mind...)

ALL TIME:
May the Force be with you.

Napoleon Dynamite is one of those movies which really needs to be watched a half dozen times to appreciate.
While my older kids loved it - I couldn't fathom it first up - but having persevered - I been converted.

Ms Ballbreaker - Johnny - are you harbouring some secret desire we should know about here my friend?
Comment by Mr Nice Guy
Pop Culturist
I loved that line as well. Add it alongside "Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration" and you've got a couple of nice bookends from the film huh?
. . . and of course, anything that makes the general vunacular around the world such as "I'll Be Back" and "May The Force . . . " has got to be in the list.
NIce . . .
Stay well

You know - that's one that has escaped me . . . but probably for good reason - it should probably be whispered in mixed company.

You are looking for hidden meaning where there isn't any.
I also like:
"Look Ma top of the World"
"All these memories will be lost like ... tears in rain"
"Is it safe?"
"The more you drive the less intelligent you become"
"If you see three men running down the stairs, let the first one go because it will be me"
"Rule 303!"
"I would even hurt a fly"
"He's been murdered and some one is responsible"

I'm surprised no one has delivered a line or two from Monty Python - such as "He's not the messiah - he's just a very naughty boy" - perhaps that's another post altogether.

Nothing wrong with being a populist I guess. Great minds do think alike . . . it's what we do after we think about it that makes all the difference.
