Favorite Lines From A Movie

From "Horsefeathers". Groucho is lounging in a canoe, while the "college widow" paddles.
College Widow; "Oh, you brought a canoe!"
Groucho; "Yes. I was going to get a flat bottom, but the girl at the boathouse didn't have one."

What the heck ever happened to screwball comedies? From my thinking, thank god for "Groundhog Day".

Most of what passes for comedy these days just isn't funny.
 
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story has some good ones.

"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."

"Remember the 5 D's of dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge."

"Well I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't have anything to regret for the rest of their life."

"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood."
 
From City Slickers.
The guy are a pound of bacon every morning. You can't do that.

From Napoleon Dynamite.
Like anybody coudl even know that Napoleon.
 
And my favorite from King Ragnar about his son Inar in The Vikings.
Odin himself could have sired him, but I did.
 
"I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be our style. Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever."

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, ​

You left off the best part: "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

Which also inspired perhaps the best WCBB sign ever (by a ND fan during the Ruth Riley era):
"You want the Ruth? You can't handle the Ruth!"
 
"Miss Jean Louise? Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing."

 
"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?"

So true. Most of today's so called comedies are either laughing out of a toilet bowl, from between someones legs, or making fun of the infirm.
 
"I am your father, Luke. You must come over to the dark side, you hoser!" Doug McKenzie, Strange Brew
"I can see you in the kitchen, bending over a hot stove. But I can't see the stove." Rufus T. Firefly to Mrs. Teasdale, Duck Soup
"Never give a sucker an even break or smarten up a chump". W.C. Fields, You Can't Cheat an Honest Man
 
"Rosebud".
"This one goes to eleven."
"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."
"Oh no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast."
"Me Tarzan, you Jane."
"A fine mess you've gotten me into this time!"

A couple of quotes from my favorite movie, The Third Man.
Expand ...
Also my favorite movie of all time. Here's another quote:
Paul Hoerbiger (as the porter) in broken English with a heavy German accent: "Now he's in hell (pointing up) . . . or in heaven (pointing down)."

Has the greatest movie entrance of all time (if you don't count the fact that Harry Lime is seen earlier from a great distance on the bridge with the other conspirators). . . at night a light is turned on illuminating Orson Welles' face standing in a doorway. (Second place goes to the Duke in Stagecoach.) Interestingly, that entrance of the title character doesn't take place until 2/3 of the way thru the movie. (At least that's quicker than the entrance of the title character in "Rebecca".)

Also has the greatest ending of all time . . . that delicious minute or two fadeout with Alida Valli walking down the tree lined street with the leaves falling.

Also has one of the greatest scores of all time. Love the zither . . .and the images of a bombed-out post-WWII Vienna.

I had the great pleasure of riding the Riesenrad (the famous Ferris wheel) in Prater Park in 1998. Just me and my girlfriend in the huge railroad-sized car looking down at all those "dots."

"You tired now old man." This from a drug courier who a mourning father has just beat severely in an unsuccessful attempt to get the name of the next one up the line. They both laugh and dad blows a large whole in his head.

In Order of Disappearance. A Nordlich subtitled film just filled with black humor. The vegan drug lord is an absolute stitch.

Roy Scheider as Bob Fosse, "Showtime".

"Rosebud".

"Top of the world Ma!"

"I steal!".
 
First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the women.

I mostly blame "The Office," but somewhere along the line painfully awkward was also deemed to be a subject of much mirth. I don't agree.

There's probably always been lowbrow humor, but it's probably sunk lower.

Actually it started with stand up comedians. But in the movies, and I know some here don't want to here this, I think it started with Animal House. It was then followed up by the Porky's movies.
