FIGHT CLUB

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

AFTER THE THIN MAN

Come on, let's get something to eat. I'm thirsty.

TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT
"We never had any trouble." How many times did I tell you I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times did you tell me you were tired of me; that we were all washed up? How many times did we have to fall in love all over again?

THE BIG SLEEP
Let me do the talking, angel. I don't know yet what I'm going to tell them. It'll be pretty close to the truth.

She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up.

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA
Would you just stop rubbing your body up against mine, because I can't concentrate when you do that.

CATCH-22
Let me see if I've got this straight: in order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy any more and I have to keep flying

CASABLANCA
You know, Rick, I have many a friend in Casablanca, but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust.

How extravagant you are, throwing away women like that. Some day they may be scarce.

I am making out the report now. We haven't quite decided yet whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape.

MOONSTRUCK
Everything seems like nothing to me now, 'cause I want you in my bed. I don't care if I burn in hell. I don't care if you burn in hell. The past and the future is a joke to me now. I see that they're nothing. I see they ain't here. The only thing that's here is you - and me.

THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH
When it gets hot like this, you know what I do? I keep my undies in the icebox!

THE SHOOTIST

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

STARMAN

I watched you very carefully. Red light stop, green light go, yellow light go very fast.

Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you? You are at your very best when things are worst.

Define shit.

STEEL MAGNOLIAS
Louie brought his new girlfriend over, and the nicest thing I can say about her is all her tattoos are spelled correctly.

I'm not as sweet as I used to be.

Well, we went skinny dipping and we did things that frightened the fish.

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!

Your choice is simple. Join us and live in peace or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.

DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY

Now suddenly I know for the first time that men bear a dream within them, a dream that lifts them above their dust... and their little days

DEEP THROAT

Mind if I smoke, while you're eating?

THIS IS SPINAL TAP

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

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

TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT


I'm hard to get, Steve. All you have to do is ask me.


You know Steve, you're not very hard to figure, only at times. Sometimes I know exactly what you're going to say. Most of the time. The other times... the other times, you're just a stinker.

A WALK IN THE CLOUDS


Talking between men and women never solves anything. Where we think, they feel. They are creatures of the heart.

Just because I talk with an accent doesn't mean I think with an accent.

WOODSTOCK

Good morning! What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for four hundred thousand.

This is the largest group of people ever assembled in one place, and I think you people have proven something to the world: that a half a million kids can get together and have three days of fun and music and have nothing *but* fun and music, and I God bless you for it!

THE PARALLAX VIEW

They say a martini is like a woman's breast: one ain't enough and three is too many.

THE PHILADELPHIA STORY


You're too good for me, George. You're a hundred times too good. And I'd make you most unhappy, most. That is, I'd do my best to.

FATSO

Did you ever suck the jelly out of a jelly doughnut and then fill it with chocolate swirl ice cream?

FIELD OF DREAMS

You know we just don't recognize the most significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought, well, there'll be other days. I didn't realize that that was the only day.

THE FISHER KING

Did you lose your mind all at once, or was it a slow, gradual process?

I have a hard-on for you the size of Florida!

FOOLS RUSH IN

You are everything I never knew I always wanted

FRANKIE AND JOHNNY

It didn't SEEM like you came! I mean, usually a guy'll moan or somethin', you didn't even clear your throat!

FULL METAL JACKET

If I'm gonna get my balls blown off for a word, my word is poontang.

ON THE WATERFRONT

Charlie: Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast.
Terry: It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.
Charlie: Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money.
Terry: You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.

THE OUTLAW JOSY WALES

Now remember, things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.

I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet.

Not a hard man to track. Leaves dead men wherever he goes.

From Clerks.  Dante.  "My girlfriend has sucked 37 dicks!"  Customer.  "In a row?"

From Boogie Nights.  "I'm a simple man with simple pleasures, a stick of butter up my ass, a lollypop in my mouth and watching people fuck."

...One that's in my head right now is from the movie "Fallen Down".  Michael Douglas' character watches as a car full of uzi-toting gangbangers drives by and attempts to kill him.  They shoot EVERYTHING in site but manage to miss him as they're driving by, then they crash head-on with another car.  Douglas' character walks up to the car takes their guns and checks the aim on one and fires a round into the leg of one the badly injured gangbangers.  Then he says to the guy as he's screaming in pain, "take some fucking shooting lessons!" and walks off with all of their guns.

Wilford Brimley in the movie with Paul Newman :  "Come sundown, I'm going to have sonebody's ass in my briefcase".  I think the movie was "Absent Malice" but I don't think that's the exact title.  Sally Field also starred.

all time favorite.

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: Easy. I think like a man, and I take away all reason and accountability.

Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.

and

It's a chopper baby.

It's poetry.

But it's a great line.  Lots of others from that film:

"Check out the big brain on Brett"

"Now look, maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but, you know, touchin' his wife's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her Holiest of Holies, ain't the same fuckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport. Look, foot massages don't mean shit."

"Now what?  I'll tell you 'now what?'  I'm gonna call me a couple of HARD pipe-hitting niggas to go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch!  You hear me talking to you, hillbilly boy!!??!!  I ain't done with you by damn site!  I'm gonna get medieval on your ass!!!

Samuel Jackson's character, Jules, had many great lines.  Perhaps my favorite (often overlooked) is when he & Travolta are cleaning out the car after Travolta accidentally shot Marvin's head off, "Oh, you gonna blow!!??  Every time my fingers touch brain, I'm a mushroom-laying cloud, motherfucker! I'm superfly t-n-t; I'm the guns of the Navaronne!  In fact, why am I in the back?  You're the motherfucker that should be on brain detail?  We're switching; you pick up this dead nigga's skull!"

That movie is so rich.  EVERY line that Jackson delivers when he & Travolta are dining at the coffee shop is GOLD!

Nick Carraway: "They say you killed a man..."
Me: "Only one?"

I still like:

1) "Go ahead. Make my day." Clint Eastwood

2) "That's not a knife." Then he pulls out his huge knife and says, "Now that's a knife." From Crocodile Dundee.

3) "Play it for me one more time, Sam" but often gets misquoted as "Play it again, Sam."

4) "But it's a killer rabbit." Monty Python's "Holy Grail."

of course "The Treasure of the Ciaras Madre" lol!
or
"You remember how to whistle don't you? Just put your lips together...and blow ..." from "To have and to have not" - Bogart met Bacall... on the set!
or
"but I don't think of you!" - from "Fountainhead"
or one of my faves!

"I'd just helped Ed Hickey into a taxie. Ed had been mmixing his drinks , and I felt he needed conveying. I started to walk down the street when I heard a voice saying: 'Good evening, Mr Dowd'. I turned and there was this big white RABBIT leaning against a lamp post. Well, I thought nothing of that ! Because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one , you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name"

Lester Burnham: Look at me, jerking off in the shower... This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.


And my all time favorite

Atticus Finch: I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted - if I could hit 'em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird. Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncrib, they don't do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us.

It wasn't even so much the words, it's the way he spoke them.

Even in a stinker like "Marooned" he was great.

Mattie Walker played by Kathleen Turner in "Body Heat"

I have alot, but here are 2.

I wanted to use this one for HS yearbook quote, but didn't. I regret it. From Star Wars:
Darth Vader to Obi-Wan: "When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the Master."

I loved this quote from New Jack City to show Ice-T emotions: "I want to kill you so bad, my dick is hard!"

also from that movie...

"You look like the piss-boy!"(Harvey Korman)
"And you look like a bucket of shit!"(Brooks)

(Officer Frank Drebbin)
"It hurts Mr! Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing; but - it - hurts!"

(Goldfinger)

Goldfinger's moll 'Pussy Galore' intoduces herself to 007 & he replys.
"I must be still dreaming"

(After Bond beds Pussy in the barn)...

"I appealed to her maternal instincts."
