The best movie quotes of all time

"This'll be fun. We'll stay up late, swapping manly stories, and in the morning... I'm making waffles!! "

I'm into the westerns as well, and I always loved hong kong cinema especially with party favours

aargh i know it but can't remember where it's from.

think green and EM

How about:

Shit... You shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.

Let's go to work

You will get this one then...(one of my favourite movies of all time!!)

"Give a guy a gun, he thinks he's Superman. Give him two and he thinks he's God"

this thread's killing me - i saw that film lately, yeti, and have no clue.

sounds like a keitel line

I like the line from the same character,
"I'm his beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest friend"

Nope

Heh heh Wee Mun,

I've been watching this lately, it's a great chill out film ! Won't catch me going anywhere to buy songbirds for a while though.

Stausee Hunden

Which one? The quote with the waffles in I assume?

Aha, okay, the other one... Great Chill Out film??

i didn't know that was the german for reservoir

Si, Gringo ! Actually no, I haven't seen the green ones film, but it's supposed to be hilarious.

Well anything with smartarse dialog, automatic weapons, loud bangs and the odd car chase or two chills me out totally.

Ideal evening in with a beer or two and a quiet running DVD Player.

Aliens 1 to 4 but I'll settle for 1 and 2 (you don't want to overdo it)

Heat

Ronin

Bullit

The Matrix, if only for the office building lobby scene.

Unforgiven

CHow Yun-Fat

Hard-Boiled

A Better Tomorrow is also great!!!
I love John Wu before he came to Hollywood

is it shrek ?

A better tomorrow is a hollywood film, and is not a patch on Hard Boiled (IMO obviously)

That was what LEO told me

Yup, it was Shrek

i meant, you learn something new every day, as i didn't know the german for reservoir.

That was Keitel as Mr. White in Resevoir Dogs.

Unless it was pinched by QT from an older movie.

I am not sure if it is the right word though, so don't commit it to memory

Sorry I meant A bullet in the head, when they went to Vietnam not A Better Tomorrow.

I was just reminded of one of the best ones in my book, ok its not THAT great but it gave me a chuckle.

"you know, your looks aren't all that bad when your face doesnt get in the way."

JML, you talkin' to me?

if that was you in the Goonies and Im Cory Feldman then yes maam I guess I am.

Phew, that was close!

"This may even turn out to be a surprise party"
"What kind of girl do you think I am, Mr. Fielding?"
"Nobody's perfect"

Some Like it Hot

The Dude: Walter, this isn't a guy who built the fucking railroads here. This is a guy...
Walter Sobchak: What the fuck are you talking about?
The Dude: Walter, he peed on my rug!
Donny: He peed on the Dude's rug.
Walter Sobchak: Donny, you're out of your element!

The Big Lebowski (1998)

One of my personal favourites (though you have to know the context):

Walking Boss: "Fuck you, boy!"
Paul Crewe: "Not today, boss!"

From the original "The Longest Yard."

Dr. Jones sen.: "I am as human as the next man."
Dr. Jones jun. : "I was the next man."
(not sure if that's the correct quote, but it's the way I remember it)

"Tina, ya fat lard, eat your food!" -Napolean in Napolean Dynamite

"Geez, Napolean, get yourself a goshdang quesadilla!" -Grandma in Napolean Dynamite

"I like your sleeves, they're real big." -Napolean to Pedro, Napolean Dynamite

"Girls only like guys with skills...computer skills, nunchuck skills, etc." -Napolean in Napolean Dynamite

It's basically the most quotable movie ever made

Shooter McGavin: I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast.
Happy Gilmore: [laughing] you eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
Shooter McGavin: No... I...

Happy Gilmore.

"I gambled on you... and you gambled on a crackhead."

Mario Van Peebles' character to Ice T's character, New Jack City

Did a quick search but couldn't find this classic:

Harry: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Silent Bob (to Jay): "THE SIGN ON THE BACK OF THE CAR SAID 'CRITTERS OF HOLLYWOOD,' YOU DUMB FUCK!!!"

- Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Peoples Hernandez: 'Dis is Egyptian Cotton, mudday-fuk... two-twenty thread. 'Dis is half your shitty-ass paycheck.
John Shaft: You wouldn't know Egyptian cotton if Pharaoh himself gave it to you, you knock-off wearing motherfucker.

and a class Connery line...

John Mason: Well, it's certainly more enjoyable than my average day... reading philosophy, avoiding gang rape in the washrooms... though, it's less of a problem these days. Maybe I'm losing my sex appeal.

Mayor Tilman: Fact is, we got two cultures down here: a white culture, and a colored culture. Now, that's the way it always has been, and that's the way it always will be.

Anderson: Rest of America don't see it that way, Mr. Mayor.

Sheriff Ray Stuckey: Rest of America don't mean jack shit. You in Mississippi now

Mississippi Burning 1988

"Now, dicks have drive, and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell pussy and they want a piece of the action. And, you thought you smelled some good ol' pussy. And, have brought your two little mincey faggot balls along for a good ol' time. But, you've got your parties muddled up. There's no pussy here, just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You're shrinking . . . and your two little balls are shrinking with ya. And, the fact that you've got "replica" written down the side of your guns. And, the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point 5 0" written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now . . . fuck off."

Top stuff, not bad for a football player.

"You're darn' tootin'!"
Fargo

John Mason: Are you sure you're ready for this?
Stanley Goodspeed: I'll do my best.
John Mason: Your "best"?! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.
Stanley Goodspeed: Carla was the prom queen.
John Mason: Really?
Stanley Goodspeed [cocks his gun]: Yeah.

'The Rock' (1996)

Will Hunting: Why shouldn't I work for the NSA? That's a tough one. But I'll take a shot. Say I'm workin' at the NSA and somebody puts a code on my desk, somethin' no one else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it and I'm real happy with myself 'cause I did my job well, but maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East and once they have that location they bomb the village where the rebels are hiding, fifteen hundred people I never met, never had a problem with get killed.
Now the politicians are sayin' "Oh, send in the marines to secure the area", 'cause they don't give a shit, won't be their kid over there gettin' shot just like it wasn't them when their number got called 'cause they were all pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southy over there takin' shrapnel in the ass. He comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from, and the guy that put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job 'cause he'll work for 15 cents a day and no bathroom breaks.
Meanwhile, he realises the only reason he was over there in the first place was so that we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price, and of course the oil companies use a little skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices, a cute little ancilliary benefit for them, but it ain't helpin' my buddy at 2.50 a gallon. They're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course maybe they even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martini's and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs. It ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil, and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic... So now my buddy's out of work, he can't afford to drive, so he's walkin' to the fuckin' job interviews which sucks cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids, and meanwhile he's starvin' cause everytime he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're serving is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State...
So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe, and join the National Guard. I could be elected President.

'Good Will Hunting' (1997)

Oooh, so many to choose from. I'm surprised this one hasn't made it here yet though:

William Somerset: This guy's methodical, exacting, and worst of all, patient.
David Mills: He's a nut-bag! Just because the fucker's got a library card doesn't make him Yoda!

David Mills: He's fuckin' with us!
[Mills bends over a desk]
David Mills: See this? This is us.

Se7en (1995)

It's so hard to choose just one from Army of Darkness ...

[In a passionate moment of romance]
Ash: Gimme some sugar, baby.

One of cinema's bad guy roles played superbly by Henry Fonda...

Frank (Fonda): Keep your lovin' brother happy.

Once Upon A Time In The West (1968)

Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes "click."

- Jesus Quintana in The Big Lebowski

Larkin : Trust me
Cameron Poe: Sorry Larkin, but there's only two men I trust. One of them's me. The other's not you.

My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

she: Boy, fetch me that pot...
he: As you wish.

I think it went (trying to search my memory here!): "To my children, the brightest stars in the darkest nights"...film was Babel.
