Best Movie Quotes of All Time - Page 14

Egbert Sousé (WC Fields): My uncle, a balloon ascensionist, Effingham Hoofnagle, took a chance. He was three miles and a half up in the air. He jumped out of the basket of the balloon and took a chance of alighting on a load of hay.
Og Oggilby: Golly! Did he make it?
Egbert Sousé: Uh... no. He didn't. Had he been a younger man, he probably would have made it. That's the point. Don't wait too long in life.


The Bank Dick

Upon landing on the Rooftop Garden in Wu-Hu, China....

Professor Quail: Hey! Where am I?

Professor Quail: Woo-Hoo to you sweetheart. Hey Charlie, where am I?
Hotel Manager: WU-HU!
[Professor Quail removes the flower from his lapel]
Professor Quail: Don't let the posey fool you!


-International House

Constance Mozart: You work like a slave for that idiot actor who won't give you a penny. And here, this is not a ghost! This is a real man who puts down real money. Why on earth won't you finish it? Can you give me one reason I can understand?
Mozart: It's killing me.

Amadeus.

One of my favorite movies of all time....

Five Easy Pieces:



[Bobby (Jack Nicholson) wants plain toast, which isn't on the menu]

Bobby: I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A #2, chicken salad sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.

"Look... there's two women !*@#ing a polar bear"

A FISH CALLED WANDA

Archie: Your brother didn't bring you here this time, did he?
Wanda: No.
Archie: He's no idea?
Wanda: He doesn't have a clue.
Archie: What?
Wanda: He's so dumb...
Archie: Really?
Wanda: ...he thought that the Gettysburg Address was where Lincoln lived.


Wanda: I'm sorry about my brother, Ken. I know he's insensitive. He's had a hard life. Dad used to beat him up.
Ken: Good.


Otto: You pompous, stuck-up, snot-nosed, English, giant, twerp, scumbag, f*ck-face, dickhead, a$$hole.
Archie: How very interesting. You're a true vulgarian, aren't you?


Airline Employee: Aisle or window, smoking or non?
Otto: What was the part in the middle?


Otto: You're a very attractive man, Ken. You're... smart, you've got wonderful bones, great eyes, and you dress really interestingly.
Ken: What you...?
Otto: We could have a lot of fun together, you and I. And I think we'd be really good for each other. What do you say?
Ken: You must be j-j-j...
Otto: May I kiss you, Ken?
[tries to kiss him]
Ken: No, you f*cking can't!

It's hard to pick from so many quotes, but for me, one of the best must be this quote from "Goodfellas":
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
To me...
being a gangster was better than being president of the United States.

man cant believe I didn't see this thread. My son and I can communicate in movie quotes. That's got to be so annoying........

What are your qualifications?

Ah. Well... I attended Julliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?

Dotson, Dotson, we've got Dotson here! .... See.... nobody cares. Nice hat. What are you trying to look like, a secret agent?



They should all be destroyed.



If I may... Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it.
You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it.
You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had,
you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you wanna sell it.

Well, for one thing, I think he was probably a closet homosexual who did a lot of cocaine. That whole Yale thing.


'Oh Africa Brave Africa'. It was... a laugh riot.


In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics.
But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic.
If you're unconvinced that a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you
and I promise you right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion.

The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is...
I collect your ****ing head. Just like this ****** here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the ****ing time!


..............................................................................

Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water,
fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a ****in' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity.

Tack, great post. Love the beaver lines from Naked Gun, similar to the line "Let me just whip this out" in Blazing Saddles.

Heh, ya or

1974. I bet that whole cast had a blast making that movie.

I thought the radio announcment at the start of Seeking a Friend for the End of the World was pretty good:

Once again, if you are just tuning in, the CESA space shuttle, Deliverance, has been destroyed. The final mission to save mankind has failed. The seventy mile wide asteroid known commonly as Matilda, is set to collide with earth in exactly three weeks’ time. And we'll be bringing you up to the minute coverage of our countdown to the end of days, [suddenly goes into smooth FM mode] along with ALL your classic rock favorites.

Buckeroo Banzai: "Wherever you go, there you are."

"Nothing is ever what it seems but everything is exactly what it is."

"Gentlemen, fill your hands!"

Some pretty obvious ones, but a few are what I think of as the "good" parts of more famous quotes.


I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's f**ked up. That ain't my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government f**ks in the a** on a regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullsh!t I got two words for that: learn to f**kin' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big f**kin' surprise.

Sealed with a curse as sharp as a knife ... Doomed is your soul and damned is your life.

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!'

What the hell do you know about surfing, Major? You're from goddamned New Jersey!

What's that one from?

hint

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!"

Good one! If I squint my eyes, I can see Howard Beale.

Thats what I figured but got thrown off by you leaving out the most famous part.

That speech is in two parts as delivered by Finch as I see it. The first, which I posted, then it reboots and leads up to the "not take it anymore" bit.

The first is delivered in a nonstop, almost devoid of punctuation manic rant, and culminates in the "I'm a human being ... my life has value" line, which is the key line to the whole thing to me, especially as it's set up by the preceding rant.

It always pisses me off that the "famous" line is what gets all the attention

" "

Patty Duke from The Miracle Worker

If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter!

I pity the fool!

What's your prediction for the fight?
My prediction? Pain...

Like, I never wanna kill anyone else again.
Ever.
Yea, that's something pretty much you can just kinda dip your toes into, you know? We kinda dipped our toes into murder.
I killed like six guys, I think. How many guys did you?
We each shot like several people.
A lot of people. Some people get a taste for it, but I don't ...
I shot someone who was already dead, so that doesn't really count as a murder...
But apparently you hit him with your car I'm told, so...you, you killed him.
Okay, so I did murder somebody. Not a big deal.
That's cool. Whatever. Kill or be killed, right?


I'm like the nerd at the sleepover who fell asleep at 9.
