Favorite Lines From A Movie

"Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms" and "Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy"

Both from same movie.

I've remember these lines, I'm just not sure where.

I'm guessing they're from "The outlaw Josey Wales", one of my favorites.
 
Here's an idea for another thread.

What are your 5 favorite movies that are deemed "CLASSIC " movies.

Example: Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, the first Star Wars movie, The Godfather, Rebel without a cause, Citizen Kane, Gone with the wind, etc.

Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... 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?
 
1.
When Conan Doyle's The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist was produced by Granada TV (and shown on PBS), I waited for the following:
"... Follow me Gentlemen! Too late! too Late! by the living Jingo!"
That living Jingo made a tremendous impression on me when I first read the story. I do not think it will impress anyone else.

2.
Inspector: "Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
Sherlock Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog at night-time."
Inspector: "The dog did nothing at night-time."
Sherock Holmes: "That was the curious incident."
Silver Blaze produced by Granada TV and shown on PBS.

3.

Doctor: "Big breaths"
Patient (flashing a big smile): "Yeth and I'm only thixteen."

From Doctor at Large by Richard Gordon.
Part of the Doctor in the House series produced by London Weekend Television.
I bought the DVD set.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
 
Downton Abbey:

Daisy (speaking of O'Brien) : I wouldn't get on the wrong side of that one for a gold clock.

Her maid is surprised when the Dowager countess goes on foot looking for her Russian Prince in a small street:
"I hope your standards are not so high as to prevent you from remaining in my employment ? "

More Violet Crawley quotes:

"What is a weekend?"

"An aristocrat without money is as useful as a glass hammer."

[on Sybil being entitled to her own opinions] "No! She isn’t until she is married. Then her husband will tell her what her opinions are."

"I do think a woman's place is eventually in the home, but I see no harm in her having some fun before she gets there."

"In my day, a lady was incapable of feeling physical attraction until she had been instructed to do so by her mama."

"First electricity, now telephones. Sometimes I feel as if I were living in an H.G. Wells novel."

Isobel: “Servants are human beings too.”
Violet: “Yes. But preferably only on their days off.”

Isobel: "How you hate to be wrong."
Violet: "I wouldn't know. I'm not familiar with the sensation."

"Principles are like prayers; noble, of course, but awkward at a party."

"Vulgarity is no substitute for wit"

"You are a woman with a brain and reasonable ability. Stop whining and find something to do."

"There's nothing simpler than avoiding people you don't like. Avoiding one's friends, that's the real test."

"Don't be defeatist, dear. It's very middle class."

"Oh, it is you! I thought it was a man in your clothes." - To Lady Mary after she got her hair cut into a 1920s bob.

There are a lot more on Wikiquote

Good one but I believe that there is no "a" in that quote. I'd go with Colonel Jessup:
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, *saves lives*. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to!​

Oh, so now it's favorite soliloquys we are working on! I prefer..."Truth, you can't handle the truth." But that is a quibble.

Another good line that is impossible to quote accurately comes out of Quentin Tarantino's mouth inquiry about whether a certain sign is on his lawn.

And: "What's with the stud in your tongue?"
 
Paul Dooley: "RE-FUND . . . . RE-FUND"

Steve Martin: "I don't believe in tipping . . . I believe in overtipping!"

Steve Martin to Carol Kane (from the same movie): "You could melt all this stuff."
