Best Line from a Movie
I love this one from "My Fellow Americans"

Genny: Wel... , uh, I'm sorry about that, sir. We're Republican.
Matt Douglas: Well, at least you can admit it. That's the first step towards recovery.

9. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
Yes, I know it's a bit outdated and doesn't have much shock value anymore, but I still love that line and the entire movie. It doesn't compare to the book, though.

11. You're so right.
I think Margaret Mitchell only wrote that one book, which is just as well because she couldn't have topped herself. Scarlett O'Hara is one of the greatest characters ever. And the book is better, but the film isn't slouchy either. It has tremendous staying power. Great casting, great settings....

The film is coming on TCM Thanksgiving night at 8 and the next day at...noon I think, for all of you who've STILL not seen this masterpiece.

13. Also love Fear and Loathing, some of the best lines are from that movie
Raoul Duke: I was right in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo, and somebody was giving booze to these goddamn things. Won't be long now before they tear us to shreds.

Raoul Duke: Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.

14. Harvey: I just felt that he needed conveying.
Edited on Thu Nov-25-04 01:14 AM by welshTerrier2
Elwood: Harvey and I sit in the bars, have a drink or two, play the jukebox. And soon the faces of all the other people turn toward mine and they smile. And they’re saying, “We don’t know your name, mister, but you’re a very nice fellow.” Harvey and I warm ourselves in all these golden moments. We’ve entred as strangers and soon we have friends and they come over and sit with us and they drink with us and they talk to us and they tell about the big terrible things they’ve done. And the big wonderful things they’ll do. Their hopes, their regrets, their loves and their hates. All very large, because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar. And then, I introduce them to Harvey. And he’s bigger and grander than anything they offer me. And when they leave, they leave impressed. The same people seldom come back, but that’s envy, my dear. There’s a little bit of envy in the best of us. That’s too bad, isn’t it?

Doctor Sanderson: How did you end up calling him Harvey?

Elwood: Well, Harvey's his name!

Sanderson: How do you know that?

Elwood: Well, actually, there was a rather interesting coincidence on that, Doctor. One night, several years ago, I was walking early in the evening down on Fairfax Street between 18th and 19th. I had just put Ed Hickey into a taxi--Ed had been mixing his rye with his gin, and ... I just felt that he needed conveying. Well, anyway, I was walking down along the street, and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mister Dowd." Well, I turned around, and here was this big 6-foot-tall rabbit leaning up against a lamppost. Well, I thought nothing of that, since when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everyone knows your name. So naturally, I went over to chat with him. And he said to me, he said, 'Ed Hickey was a bit spiffed this evening, or could I be mistaken?' Well, of course, he was *not* mistaken. I think the world and all of Ed, but he was *spiffed*. Well, we talked like that for awhile, and then I said to him, I said, "You have the advantage on me. You know my name, and I don't know yours." And right back at me, he said, "What name do you like?" Well, I didn't have to think twice about that. Harvey's always been my favorite name. So I said to him, I said, "Harvey." And --this is the interesting thing about the whole thing--he said, "What a coincidence. My name happens to be Harvey.

20. "The Third Man" Staring Orson Welles
In the giant ferris wheel in Vienna, 1948:

MARTINS (Jos. Cotten): Have you ever seen any of your victims?

HARRY (Welles): You know, I don't ever feel comfortable on these sort of things. Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Look down there. Would you feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you 20,000 pounds for every dot that stopped moving, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money? Or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man. Free of income tax. It's the only way to save money nowadays.

40. Lot of great one liners from Aliens
Most from Bill Paxton, the obnoxious wise-cracking space marine.

My old PC at work used to sign on in the morning with "We're on an express elevator to Hell, going down!"

And, one that I've used at work in a sarcastic way is paraphrasing Sergeant Apone's talking about being in the Marines - "every day is like a vacation..."

This line is stuck in my head, from "Half-Baked", from when Harland Williams is in prison for killing the diabetic police horse and is trying not to get "abused" by the inmates:

"I'm gonna get skewered in here! Have you ever taken off all your clothes and run backwards through a cornfield??"

Edited on Thu Nov-25-04 09:04 AM by Bozita
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/quotes

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel... that Coca-Cola machine. I want you to shoot the lock off it. There may be some change in there.

Colonel "Bat" Guano: That's private property.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel! Can you possibly imagine what is going to happen to you, your frame, outlook, way of life, and everything, when they learn that you have obstructed a telephone call to the President of the United States? Can you imagine? Shoot it off! Shoot! With a gun! That's what the bullets are for, you twit!

Colonel "Bat" Guano: Okay. I'm gonna get your money for ya. But if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what's gonna happen to you?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: What?

Colonel "Bat" Guano: You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.
