OT Greatest Single Lines From Movies

[McFly]

" Smile when you say that, (partner)". This was in the book, was it in a movie
of the same name?? I 'm thinking of the plot ending that was used in High Noon.

Don't know about a movie, but if I remember correctly, in the book The Virginian by Owen Wister, there was a similar sentence: "When you call me that, smile."

 

[JordyG]

"How do you know they'll be a tomorrow, there wasn't one today!".

 

[JordyG]

"I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of bubble gum".

 

[JordyG]

"Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder".

 

[JordyG]

How about -- "Watch the skies" (final words of the movie).

The final line is actually "Keep watching the skies".

 

[JordyG]

"I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ***. And I'm all out of bubble gum."

You beat me to it. I'll delete mine.

 

[Forego]

Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?
(Imitating Groucho Marx): Certainly. You take the blonde, I’ll take the one in the turban.

 

[Sifaka]

“You were expecting maybe the Addams family?”

“Cowabunga.”

 

[Improviser]

"Here's Lookin at You Kid."

 

[64Zcode]

"You're good, kid, but as long as I'm around, you're only second best."

I didn't get it exactly right from memory, and Jim Carrey embellished the quote in 'The Mask', but here's the original.

 

[BBallF]

'Here's lookin' at you, kid.'

"Round up the usual suspects"

 

[BBallF]

"A martini. Shaken, not stirred."

Vodka

 

[BBallF]

Nobody puts Baby in a corner.

"This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don't go into yours, you don't go into mine"

 

[ClifSpliffy]

das right, we bad.

'In U.S. of A, democracy is very different from Kazakhstan. In America, woman can vote, but horse cannot!”
and,
'This my mother. She is oldest woman in all of Kuzcek! She is 43! This is my wife Oxanna. She is a moron.'

 

[JordyG]

"Man's got to know his limitations."

"People keep givin' me guns."

"My blue blanket! Where's my blue blanket?!"

“A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.”

 

[Urshurak]

I will be your huckleberry.

Quote is "I'm your Huckleberry." Val Kilmer in Tombstone is, in my opinion, his greatest work.

 

[NEforceUConn]

“Wait a minute, Doc, are you telling me you built a time machine….out of a Delorian?”

 

[CL82]

“Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.”

 

[JordyG]

Quote is "I'm your Huckleberry." Val Kilmer in Tombstone is, in my opinion, his greatest work.

..and it's not even close. My favorite modern western. Soon after this it went to his head. On the set of "The Isle Of Dr. Moreau" Marlon Brando told him, and I paraphrase, "Don't let the size of your paycheck equate with the size of your talent".

 

[JordyG]

"I'm a man! Well, nobody's perfect.".

"She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and because she sleeps above her covers. Four feet above her covers".

"I've done some bad things in my life, Nicolai... Things I'm not proud of. I promised someone I love very much that I would never go back to being that person... But for you, I'll make an exception".

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I can't believe nobody came up with this one yet:

"Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining".

According to legend, a young, soon to be director felt the delivery of that line was so perfect that he cast the actor in what became an iconic role solely because of that (without ever having met him).

'If he can only perform good or only perform evil, then he is a clockwork orange—meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with colour and juice but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil.”
this movie stinks. boring, unengaging, rude, rather pointless. like wasting an afternoon at a jackson pollock museum.
i'd rather be entertained. staring at dungheaps is not entertaining, unless you are a fly, i suppose.

You also left out the fact that the movie was also childish, prurient and over indulgent. Otherwise a fair assessment of perhaps Kubrick's most inaccessible and barren movie.
