What are some of your favourite lines (or scenes, or speeches, or whatever) from movies?

A few classic ones I can think of just now:
  • “Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” – Wizard of Oz
  • “Bond. James Bond” – Any Bond film
  • “There is no spoon” – The First Matrix
  • “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get” – Forrest Gump (I’m guessing he’s going to get chocolate?)
  • “I’ll be back” – The Terminator
  • “My… Precious…” – Any of the Lord of the Ring Films

So, add some of your own! Share movie lines!

Here’s a few of my favourites:

  • “The biggest fish in the river gets that way by never being caught.” – The Witch to Edward Bloom in Big Fish
  • “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return” – Moulin Rouge
  • “In L.A., nobody touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something. ” – Crash
  • “Without you, today’s emotions would be the scurf of yesterday’s. ” – Amelie
  • “Here’s looking at you, Kid” – Casablanca

And my least favourite quote:

  • “No one puts Baby in the corner!” – Dirty Dancing (I just think it’s corny.)

Krista I agree, Casablanca has the best lines of all the time.

One of my favourite scenes is in Roman Holiday when Gregory Peck puts his hand in the Mouth of Truth and pretends his hand has been chopped off. Audrey Hepburn didn’t actually know he was going to do this and so the film shows her genuine terrified reaction!

“Listen…you know those days when you get the mean reds?” – Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Ah, you’re talking with one of the biggest Bogie fans around. I have a slew of favorite quotes from him and his movies:

“I was born when you kissed me. I died when you left me. I lived a few weeks while you loved me.” – In a Lonely Place

(on manners) “And I’m not crazy about yours. I didn’t ask to see you. I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners, I don’t like them myself. They are pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. I don’t mind your ritzing me drinking your lunch out of a bottle. But don’t waste your time trying to cross-examine me.” – The Big Sleep

“I stick my neck out for nobody.” – Casablanca

“Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.” – Casablanca (that’s an all time fav)

“Where I’m going, you can’t follow. What I’ve got to do, you can’t be any part of. Ilsa, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.” – Casablanca

“Well I ain’t sorry for you no more, ya crazy, psalm-singing, skinny old maid!” – The African Queen

Ok, ok, I’m good ;)

Speaking of BAD quotes…

“I’m the king of the world!” – Titanic

Holy, that made me laugh out loud at the theatre when Decrapio said that.

“My name is Freeze; learn it well, for it’s the chilling sound of your doom.” – Batman & Robin

Hilarious!

Nice! To Have and Have Not was an excellent one too…Bacall gets some good lines out there too! I can’t imagine anyone saying those lines to Bogart quite the way she does.

Doubt anyone could share a screen with Bogart like Bacall did! ;)

For those who aren’t aware- that Freeze line is spoken by the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think half the funny comes from his accent.

The matrix has so many good one liners. My favourite:

I know Kung Fu

My favourite ‘spoon’ line comes much earlier in the movie and is delivered by the little boy:

Do not try to bend the spoon; that’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth. [What truth?] There is no spoon. Then you’ll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

You forgot a couple of great ones~

“Mr. Anderson, welcome back. We missed you.”

One of the most memorable quotes that sticks out in my mind is from the movie The Pianist.

Wladyslaw Szpilman: No. Please. I’m Polish. I’m not a German.
Polish Soldier: Then why the f—-ng coat?
Wladyslaw Szpilman: I’m cold.
