1. Serpentine!!!
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 11:54 PM by morningglory
From the in-laws with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. Brilliant funny movie. Peter Falk says he finds himself walking down a busy sidewalk in New York and someone will throw up a window and yell "Serpentine!!".

4. A couple:
"It's alive" from Frankenstein (1931), mostly because of the way it is delivered and the gothic atmosphere.

"Nothing" from Persona (1966), because it represents the spiritual anguish and personal letting-go of the characters.

5. L.A. Confidential
This line was edited out of the video and DVD because it offeneded the LAPD, but I love this line.

It takes place outside the victory motel and Detective Bud White is about to shoot a guy in the back.

Dude: "You can't do this, this is America"
Bud White: "This is L.A."

10. Many! Here are four: Tootsie, Working Girl, Shirley Valentine
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 11:55 PM by Bertha Venation
"Tootsie," Bill Murray to Dustin Hoffman:

You slut.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Working Girl," Joan Cusack to Melanie Griffith:

Sometimes I sing & dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From "Shirley Valentine," a bit of dialogue:

Shirley (out the second story window, to pissed & ashamed daughter leaving the house): That's right Milandra, I'm goin' to Greece for the sex. Sex for breakfast, sex for dinner, sex for tea and sex for supper.

Eavesdropping delivery guy: Sounds like a marvelous diet, love!

Shirley: It is, have you never heard of it? It's called the "F" plan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also from "Shirley Valentine," spoken by a Grecian wanna-be gigolo:

Fuck is fuck. Boat is boat.

12. "Hell no, I ain't no deputee!"
From Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven". Spoken by an old Mexican when offered a chance to shoot pyschotic killer Will Munny after Munny's just massacred half the men in town.

It's actually not my favorite line, but for some reason it always comes to mind whenever another country (or the UN) announces it's not going to pour men or money into the Iraqi quagmire for the sake of the Crawford Dauphin.

15. Another from that movie:
As Eastwood was leaving the saloon at the end, "If I see any of you, I'll kill you. If any of you shoot at me, I'll kill you, I'll kill your family, I'll kill all your friends, and I'll burn your house down."

19. I LOVE that movie!
Unusual for a woman, I know. But a handful of very violent films really appeal to me, and this is one of them. It's very complex and has so many interesting components (my favorite being the subplot with English Bob and his personal biographer who is won away by the sheriff, and the discussions they have about reality vs media depictions). I don't know if the writer won the oscar for his work, but he should have.

The line you quoted, Rabrrrrrr, got a sickly laugh in the theater when I saw it. I think the people there viewed it as a little comic relief after the violence of the preceding scene. But then he stalks off into the storm and turns around and bellows "You'd better bury Ned right, or I'll come back and kill every last one of you sons of bitches." and everybody was chilled again.

I distinctly remember the change in the audience. Before the film most of the people waiting for it were laughing and joking, expecting I think another shoot-em-up. When the movie let out no one was laughing, and it seemed to me that a lot of them were disturbed. I've never been to a movie that worked such a noticeable change in the mood of the people watching it.

20. Wow! sadly, I didn't see it in a theater
Wish I had. It's definitely the anti-western.

And it is an incredible story.

Eastwood absolutely earned his oscar. And no, I don't know either if the writer got an oscar for it. I have an inkling that Eastwood's for directing is the only Oscar it came away with, but the memory is foggy - it might have won more.

That "Bury Ned right" is a real killer line.

Gods, what a movie it is.

"We all got it comin', kid."

63. More Eastwood
He's had the greatest lines...here's some more:

Unforgiven

After he shoots Gene Hackman:

"I don't deserve this. To die like this. I was building a house."
"Deserve's got nothing to do with it."

(BTW, did anyone notice that Eastwood's and Hackman's characters both have the same first name?)

Outlaw Josey Wales

"Too bad we don't have time to bury those fellas proper like."
"To hell with those fellas. Buzzards have to eat, same as worms."

"You a bounty hunter?"
"A man has to do something these days to earn a living."
"Dyin' ain't much of a living boy."

"Kansas was all golden and smelled like sunshine."
"Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas, sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches."

64. And the classic, "So what you have to ask yourself is, do I feel lucky?"
"Well? Do you? Feel lucky, punk?"

Unforgiven is such an incredible movie - violent, like all good westerns should be, but very anti-violence.

"Killin' a guy's a helluva thing." or something like that.

24. i would like to offer a couple....Young Frankenstein and...
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
1st) From Young Frankenstein... They are in the cemetary digging up the body and Gene Wilder says to Marty Feldman "What a horrible, disgusting job" "Eyegor" says "I dunno...could be worse"
HOW COULD IT BE WORSE? "Could be raining" (At that moment, a thunder clap, a lightning flash, and a downpour! Hilarious!)

And in The Holy Grail...the scene they called "Constitutional Peasant"..."Supreme executive power comes from a mandate from the masses, not from some farsical aquatic ceremony! I mean you cant expect to weild Supreme executive power just cause watery tart threw a sword at you! If I went 'round, saying i was an emporer, just cause some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'ed put me away!"

and lastly..."Folks dont seem to hang around much when i gets to likin' em" "They dont seem to hang around much when you get to dislikin' em either" Clint Eastwood to Chief Dan George and Chief's response in "The Outlaw Josey Wales"

One of the MANY fabulous lines from The Lion in Winter

More..
'Henry's bed is Henry's province, he may people it with sheep if he wishes. Which upon occasion he has done.'

'In a world where carpenters get resurrected, everything is possible.'

The best dialogue,in my opinion,of any film ever made. All you have to do to find a great line is fast forward and stop in any random place:)

36. And, of course, a few classic exchanges from "Office Space"
Peter Gibbons: You're gonna lay off Samir and Michael?

Bob Slydell: Oh yeah, we're bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that's the usual deal.

Bob Porter: Standard operating procedure.

Peter Gibbons: Do they know this yet?

Bob Slydell: No! No, of course not! We find it's always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week.


and

Peter Gibbons: Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday, and you're not feelin' real well, does anyone ever say to you, 'Sounds like a case of the Mondays'?

Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man! I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man!

It's a little spooky the way he's obviously having so much fun playing that part. Next time I watch it, I'm going to count how many times he says "fuck."

80. Remind me to change the combination on my luggage
I like the line from "Romy and Michelle". "We don't care if you like us, because we don't like you. You're a bad person with an ugly heart and we don't give a flying fuck what you think!"

Also, from "Better Off Dead" "Man, that's a shame. Folks throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that."

From the Princess Bride: "Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die."

From Taps: "Honor does not count for shit when you are looking at a dead little boy."

From Billy Jack: "When I think of the number of years she's going to have to carry in her memory the savagry of this idiotic little moment of yours. I go berserk."

From Good Will Hunting: "If you disrespect my wife again. I will end you."

From Dogma: "Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer."

I chose this because in one line the character of Scarlet O'Hara is revealed.

Not the funniest or spookiest line, but a great line for character development.

74. Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
Also about any line from a Raymond Chandler movie:
From The Big Sleep
You know what he'll do when he comes back? Beat my teeth out, then kick me in the stomach for mumbling.

General Sternwood: How do you like your brandy, sir?
Philip Marlowe: In a glass.

I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings.

From Murder, My Sweet
She was a charming middle-aged lady with a face like a bucket of mud. I gave her a drink. She was a gal who'd take a drink, if she had to knock you down to get the bottle.

It was a nice little front yard. Cozy, okay for the average family. Only you'd need a compass to go to the mailbox. The house was alright, too, but it wasn't as big as Buckingham Palace

And a couple bonus quotes from North by Northwest my favorite movie ever, glad to see someone else quoted it here.

In the world of advertising, there's no such thing as a lie. There's only expedient exaggeration.

Eve Kendall: I'm a big girl.
Roger Thornhill: Yeah, and in all the right places, too.

Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I have two ex-wives, a mother, and several bartenders depending on me. And, I don't want to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed.

-Susan Vance (Katherine Hepburn) to David Huxley (Cary Grant) in Bringing Up Baby.

And from the same film:

Yes without you and definately without you. (Grant to Hepburn)

(Grant, into the phone, calling the zoo): Hello? Is that zoo? (pause) Well no one's talking baby talk!

And finally, Grant to Hepburn when he sees what he thinks is a dangerous leopard in her apartment): Susan! You've got to get out of this apartment!

Hepburn: I can't, David, I have a lease.
