FAVORITE MOVIE QUOTES

every passing minute is a chance to turn things all around - Sophia , David
- Vanilla Sky

all these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain - replicant
- bladerunner

both quotes contrasts greatly, yet both have remarkable elegance in their own contexts.

The Princess Bride has to be my favourite movie to quote from ... here are a few quotes.

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father! Prepare to die. Now, offer me money.

Death cannot stop true love ... All it can do is delay it for a while.

You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.

As I told you, it would be absolutely, totally and in all other ways, inconceivable!

I must tell you, I'm not left handed. (happens during sword play)

You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?

No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Buttercup is marry' Humperdinck in a little less than half an hour. So all we have to do is get in, break up the wedding, steal the princess, make our escape... after I kill Count Rugen.

That doesn't leave much time for dilly-dallying.

There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.
And you... friendless, helpless, hopeless, brainless. Do you want me to send you back where I found you? Unemployed? In Greenland?

And wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva...

They're kissing again. Do we have to read the kissing parts?

My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men, and you think a little head jiggle is supposed to make me happy?

Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

As You Wish

People break down into two groups when the experience something lucky. Group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them. Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance. I'm sure the people in Group number two are looking at those fourteen lights in a very suspicious way. For them, the situation isn't fifty-fifty. Could be bad, could be good. But deep down, they feel that whatever happens, they're on their own. And that fills them with fear. Yeah, there are those people. But there's a whole lot of people in the Group number one. When they see those fourteen lights, they're looking at a miracle. And deep down, they feel that whatever's going to happen, there will be someone there to help them. And that fills them with hope. See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

That's why he had asthma. It can't be luck. His lungs were closed. His lungs were closed. No poison got in. No poison got in. His lungs were closed. His lungs were closed.

One time, I was at this party... and I was sitting on the couch with Amanda McKinney. She was just sitting there, looking beautiful. So, I lean in to kiss her, and I realize I have gum in my mouth. So, I turn to spit it out and put it in a paper cup. I turn back, and Amanda McKinney throws up all over herself. I knew the moment it happened, it was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. It would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered.

Sniff-sniff! I LOVED that movie, and for the very quotes you posted from it. I also love the little girl - "I can't drink that water because it has his amoebas in it". Also....."there's ONE more!!! I knew it - it's a conspiracy!" (the store owner complaining upon seeing another soft drink ad that the tv coverage of the spaceships is a conspiracy to sell more product).

Just because I talk slow doesn't mean I'm stupid. --Sweet Home Alabama

DARN IT! DARN IT! DARN IT, FIN! That was going to be MY quote!!!


...I'm also wondering if I'm the only one who knows what HeatherJay is talking about with her Shag quote? (Psssst! I bought that tape in a video club several years ago - LOVE it! "That's not Pudge dancing...she's fat").

Hey SuzQ! I am with you in that I was going to quote "The Princess Bride." I can actually quote that movie from beginning to end! (Not sure that's a good thing.... )

Anyway, I am from SC and we are ALL "Shag" fans here! If you got through high school without seeing that movie you were not a true Southerner! ha ha!


Serious quote: "Remember who you are."
--Mufasa, "The Lion King"

Funny quote: "The man is the head of the house--but the woman is the neck! And she can turn the head whichever way she wants!"
--the Greek mom, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"

everyone who quoted the princess bride, you guys are some major awesome people.


Ferris Bueller's Day Off:
Ferris Bueller: I do have a test today, that wasn't ********. It's on European Socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So, who gives a **** if they're Socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car.

The Breakfast Club:
Andrew Clark: This is the worst fake I.D. I've ever seen. You realize you made yourself sixty-eight.
Brian Johnson: Oh, I know, I know. I goofed it.
Andrew Clark: What do you need a fake I.D. for?
Brian Johnson: So I can vote!

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory:
Willy Wonka: Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.

"There are two types of people in this world. Those with guns, and those who did. You dig."

"Such ingratitude for all the times I've saved your life..."

Both by Clint Eastwood in the Good the Bad and the Ugly.

CLASSIC, CLASSIC, CLASSIC! Again, great ones I forgot all about it! My hubby loves that Ferris one - he's from Sweden which is mainly Socialist. That's one of his fav's!

From a movie not yet released:
KING ARTHUR
"My power shall be with you wherever you go, able to fly without wings, and on this day, if this be our destiny, so be it." - Arthur

"Knights, let history remember - as free men, we chose to make it so" - Arthur

"Arthur. Everywhere I go on this island, I hear your name. Finally, a man worth killing" - Cerdic the Saxon

"Mark my face. It will be the last thing you will see on this earth" - Arthur

"My father told me great tales of you. Fairy tales. People so brave, so selfless, that they cannot be real - Arthur and his knights." - Guinevere

"Lancelot: There's a large number of lonely me out there.
Guinevere: Don't worry, I won't let them touch you."

GLADIATOR
"If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled, for you are in Elysium, and you're already dead!" - Maximus

"Brothers - what we do in life, echoes in eternity." - Maximus

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions; loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius; father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife - and I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next" - Maximus

TOP GUN
"Charlie: You were in a 4G inverted dive with a MiG-28?
Maverick: Yes, ma'am.
Charlie: At what range?
Maverick: About two meters.
Goose: Well, it was actually about one and a half, I think. It was one and a half. I've got a great Polaroid of it, and he's, he's right there. Must be one and a half.
Maverick: It was a nice picture....
Goose: Thanks....
Charlie: Uh, Lieutenant. What were you doing there?
Goose: Communicating.
Maverick: Communicating. Keeping up foreign relations. I was, uh, you know, giving him "the bird."
Goose: You know -- "the finger."
Charlie: Yes, I know the finger, Goose."

"And I was like, 'Where'd he goooo?' And Hollywood's like, 'Where'd WHOOOO go?'"
That one always cracked me up, we'd also go off on it in the kitchen at my work last summer... it was great.

PUNISHER

"This isn't vengeance. No, not vengeance. This is PUNISHMENT." - Frank Castle

"Make Castle dead!" - Travolta's character

LORD OF THE RINGS
"Orc Commander: And what of the wizard?
Witch King: I will breaaak himmmmm"

From upcoming DODGEBALL
"Coach: You can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
Player: What?!
CLANG!!!"

"Coach: You gotta get angry!
Player: I guess I'm not really an angry person.
Coach hits Player in nuts
Coach: You angry now?"

TROY
"I've fought many wars in my time. Some were fought for land, some were fought for power, some for glory. I suppose love makes more sense than all the rest." - King Priam

"Hector: No son of Troy shall ever submit to a foreign ruler.
Menelaus: Then every son of Troy shall die."

"Is there no one else? IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?" - Achilles

I love the ending speech from "Boondock Saints"

These are all Jim Carrey and all from LIAR LIAR

"A goose!"

"Wee wee wee we woo, wra wa wrah hayayahaha..."

"Here goes...I sped, I followed too closely, I ran a stop sign, I almost hit a Chevy, I sped some more, I failed to yeild at a crosswalk, I CHANGED LANES IN AN INTERSECTION, I CHANGED LANES WITHOUT SIGNALING WHILE RUNNING A RED LIGHT AND SPEEEDINGGG!!"

"AND THE TRUTH!...SHALL SET YOU FREEEEEEE!!"

I thought it was rather humorous, myself. A spy network being run by a bloodless freak who can't stand light or cold.

Don't forget your trenchcoat. How's anybody gonna recognize you without your disguise?
--The Eiger Sanction

I like big fat men like you. When they fall they make more noise.
--GBU

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
--A Fistful of Dollars

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.’"... Dead Poets Society

“We're all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral choices. Some are on a grand scale, most of these choices are on lesser points. But we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are, in fact, the sum total of our choices. events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly, Human happiness does not seem to be included in the design of creation. it is only we, with our capacity to love that gives meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet, most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying”… Crimes and Misdemeanors

Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus and I'd still have to bum rides off of people.(Ferris Buellers Day Off)

Oh man, everyone has such awesome quotes! For some reason I am bad about remembering quotes verbatim.

But my favorite movie of all time is Dumb and Dumber so here are few:

Lloyd: What are the chances of a boy like you and a girl like me ending up together?
Mary: Not very good
Lloyd: You mean like 1 out of a 100?
Mary: More like 1 out of a million.
Lloyd: So you're telling me there is a chance! Yeah! I read ya!

Lloyd: Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH....

SLAVE-DRIVER: (subtitled) Row! You incomprehensible, horizontal-eyed, Western trouser-wearers! Eurgh! You all look the same to me! How I despise your lack of subtlety and your joined-up writing! You, who have never committed ritual suicide in your lives!

SLAVE: (whispering to his neighbour) You know, I don't think it would be so bad, if we knew what he was saying...

SLAVE-DRIVER: SILENCE! Unceremonious rice-pudding eaters! How I abominate your milk-drinking and your lack of ancestor-worship and your failure to eat your lunch out of little boxes!
