What's your favourite movie line?

[EclecticEnnui]

To try and make this more interesting, instead of just listing lines, try and explain a bit why you like it so much. For instance, "Why so serious" is a new famous movie line. My guess is it's famous because of how the Joker says it, in a deep and menacing voice. He also says it word by word, and he says it twice, instead of just once. There's probably a couple of other reasons.

THIS IS SPARTA! because it is badass how he says it and it is accompanied by him kicking a black man into a hole. What's not to love?

Good luck spending your night deleting posts then.

Even though everyone loves it; "I've had it with these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane!", it's just hilariously typical of the film, which is ridiculously cheesy, but awesome.

"Don't let anyone... tell you... that you can't do something. Not even me."

From the "Pursuit of Happyness".

Really, it's inspirational to me, a father telling his son that he can be what he wants to be.

[EyelessArchfiend]

Surprised no one's said it yet.

CAAAAAAAAAAAN YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGG IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT

I just love how he says it the third time.

[TheYoungblood]

The one Peter Parker said in the end of Spider-Man 1, but I can't totally remember what he said.

[Sensationalism]

"That water is teeming with microbes!" said by Dr. Mott aka Dan-o in Without A Paddle because I totally act like him and we live right by a river so I've said it or something like it plenty of times.

Just because after I watched that movie I said that to everyone I had to pass by.

I think that every time I pass by someone now.

"Groovy" - Evil Dead II.

Not even a line, just a single word. That's what makes it so memorable.

Bruce Campbell also sounded a bit like Clint Eastwood when he says it.

[TacticalShoe]

There Will Be Blood.

After the oil derrick explodes and deafens H.W. and one of Daniel's assistants asks him if his son is okay and he responds: "No, he's not." And after that, he just stares into the flames of the derrick.

I love the line because it really shows that Daniel is finally going crazy and his love for oil and money and his job has finally consumed him.

Fuck that, I'll just come back and delete them in chunks, like I just did now.

" And now we'll see who shits on the side walk" From Deathrace.
I like that line because it was the only thing that cought my attention in that really bad movie. It also makes zero sense!

[TheGyro]

Despite it being a shitty movie, I love the bit in I-Robot where Will Smith's character is driving his car, when a truck full of robots blocks his car. Realising he is about to be attacked, he says:

"There is no way my luck is that bad."

I've felt like that so many times.

[Gagsy]

"Don't you just take the past and put it in a room in a basement and lock the door and never go in there? That's what I do, And then you meet someone special and all you want to do is to toss them the key and say; open up, step inside, but you can't, because it's dark, There's demons and if anybody saw how ugly it is. I keep wanted to do that, fling the door open just let light in and clean everything out. "

Not quite a line but yeah. It's from The Talented Mr Ripley, and I imagine it should be quite obvious why I like it - It's quite a beautiful line really.

[066pop]

Its not really a film quote, but I wish it was...

You know 'Dads Army'? Well theres that one where they capture some Germans and their officer is like 'Tell me your name so I can find you when I get back!' and then Captain Mainwaring (pronounced "Mannering") says: 'Dont tell them your name Pike!'

I ROFL at that line...

[Lizzardis]

I'm surprised no-one has said "I'll be back" by Terminator.
I just love it when Arnie says that, it's just funny how he can say it in his already low voice!
Lol

[RubberTrucky]

The truth hurts doesn't it, Hapsburg? Oh sure, maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts.

So true...
I think for long this has been my favorite movie ever and it had a lot of those weird comparisons. This one just stuck, I guess...

[Lemonardo]

For me, my favorite line is, "Let's put a smile on that face!" from The Joker in The Dark Knight. For some reason I prefer that line over, "Why so serious?"

[DaWgSOLja729]

Warrior: This is good...But what is best in life?
Son: The open steppe... A swift horse... Falcons at your breast... And the wind in your hair
Warrior: WRONG!!! Conan...What is best in life?
Conan: Crush your enemies...See them driven before you...And to hear the lamentations of their women.
*Cheering and affirmations*

I love it because I've read all the Conan the Barbarian and the Savage Sword of Conan comic books, and all the Robert E Howard collections from the 30s. I've also seen the movie close to 50 times, and I love it. Of all the lines in the movie, I think this one is one of the most powerful and evocative, and largely summarizes the spirit of the character. Also, this is Conan's first line in the movie, although it is some 25 minutes in.

[Mechabloby]

I'd probably say The Dark Knight's "Why So Serious?". Man, Heath was pretty freaky in that. Loved every second of it. Christopher Nolan outdid himself once again.

I'd disagree with your analysis, although I love the movie.

I really don't think Daniel goes crazy in that movie. He is a mean, vicious, nihilistic alcoholic, and has been basically from the start of the movie. Recall that he only takes H.W. in because the image of a single father raising a son in a family business is appealing to the people from which he is buying. Daniel's job and his spirit of competition have always governed his life. A better example would be the later scene in which he mocks and insults H.W. upon learning of H.W.'s plan to start his own business. Remember that Daniel never truly sees H.W. as a son, but more of a business tool, and later a competitor.

I totally think that he becomes crazier and crazier as the movie goes on.

I mean, a great example is toward the end when he's just in his house shooting furniture and shit in the hallway.

[TheTrooper5]

"GO! GET TO DA CHOPPA!"

I know it's generic, but the way Arnie screams it as if he's adressing God is immense.

[TheMaster]

There's too many to choose from. Aliens is loaded with awesome quotes, and Serenity has a ton of witty one liners stuck right in the middle of dramatic scenes to catch you off guard.

I'll have to give it to Bond, though. Goldfinger's pre-titles sequence ends with Bond spotting a man sneaking up on him reflected in the eyes of a woman he's kissing, using her as a human shield, throwing the man into a bath, and then electrocuting him by knocking an electric fan in with him. Bond picks up his gun, starts to put his suit back on, and looks over at the dead body.

"Shocking. Positively shocking."

[TheSilverGuitar]

"Tell Syd he's a fascist pig." From Children of Men.
Because I can use it all the time. I can reference it constantly, and hardly anyone I know will understand.

[BetaOrionis]

Another one from Fight Club:

"A foot of concrete is important, especially when you're neighbor decides to let her hearing aide go and has to watch game shows at full volume, or when a blast of volcanic ash that used to be your furniture blows out your floor to ceiling windows and sails flaming into the night."

I'll never need to quote it, but something about the dry, articulate way that the narrator describes the catastrophe just seems so . . . me.

[Bryony]

"Whatcha got ain't nothin new. This country's hard on people, you can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity." - No Country For Old Men.

It really jumped out at me, and sums up the self-righteousness of humanity and how the world will always be set against you, how you'll always be fighting against time - striving to become a 'somebody' when in reality you'll end up the same as everyone else. Much like the 'you are not a beautiful or unique snowflake' from Fight Club.

[sumidiotdude]

I've got a couple.

My favorite is probably I must break you. I love all the Rocky movies, and the tone Ivan Drago used was just perfect for the movie. It really made me feel intimidated despite him being a fictional character.

I also like the "I love lamp." sequence from Anchorman. The stupidity of the conversation is really what made me like this since Will Ferrell kept trying to correct Steve Carrell, it was brilliant.

"Yi-Ki-Yay, Motherf**ker" is so awesome in for a badass actor like Bruce Willis. Die Hard was filled ith awesome phrases, but this one really stood out for me.

"Can I trouble you for a warm glass of shut the hell up?" I recently watched Happy Gilmore, and Ben Stiller sounded absolutely hilarious when he said that phrase. And the fact he said it to an elderly woman made it even funnier.

Planet Terror - "I want your balls."

Greatest one-liner ever said, seriously. And they way he gives the guy a bag and a little tool for the job adds to it.

"No you miscalculated! You should've feared me more!"

From the Avatar movie (Yes I know it's not really a movie, but it was put on TV as one since it was 2 hours). I love it because it's something I would say were I in the situation. Plus she sounds so wickedly evil when she says it.

If you will....
