What Are Your Favorite Movie Lines?

WebGuy · Doesn't Do Windows

"Let's fold scarves!" . . . "OK!" ~ Romy and Michelle

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Oh man, I quote so many movie lines in everyday life that now I'm having a hard time remembering them.

One is:
"Gentlemen! There's no fighting in the War Room!" - Dr. Strangelove

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

I'm always doing that too, Mz.

I have a couple from the movie "Carrie"

Mrs. White tells Carrie, "They're all gonna laugh at you!"

and, "I can see your dirty pillows. Everyone will."

She was scary wacko...

"Everything here is edible. Even I'm edible, although that's called cannibalism and is frowned upon in most societies."

"Good morning starshine! The earth says hello!"
"Who are you?"
"He's Willy Wonka."
"Then shouldn't you be up there?" girl points to chair on stage that is currently surrounded by puppets on fire
"If I were there, I wouldn't be able to see the show then, would I?"

both from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Okay, technically from a radio show, and then a book, but it was made into a movie, and the line was used:

"It must be Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays." - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

And while we're on that movie:
"So long and thanks for all the fish."

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

I don't watch a lot of movies, but I have a few.

Peter Gibbons: I uh, I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore. - Office Space

Bob Slydell: What would ya say you do here? - Office Space

Saddam Hussein: Now I am going to kill you until you die from it! - Hot Shots Part Duex

Dr. Rumack: Can you fly this plane and land it?
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Dr. Rumack: I am serious, and don't call me Shirley. - Airplane

Dr. Rumack: You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital--what is it?
Dr. Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now. - Airplane

Reporter: What kind of plane is it?
Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol. - Airplane

Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Victor Basta: Request vector, over.
Captain Oveur: What?
Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.
Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!
Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
Tower voice: Over.
Captain Oveur: Roger.
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower voice: Roger, over!
Roger Murdock: What?
Captain Oveur: Huh?
Victor Basta: Who?

Really anything from Airplane and Office Space are good.

I like that one too. And it is so true. That is part of why I picked Thursday as my WFH day.

One of my other faves from that series: "Dent? Arthur Phillip Dent? You're a jerk Dent. A complete kneebiter." ~ Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

Airplane ROCKS!

Steve McCroskey: Johnny, what can you make out of this?
[Hands him the weather briefing]
Johnny: This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Ooh, good ones Fuzzy. I use the "Um, yeah, I'm gonna have to ask you to..." a lot.

My favorite scene from Office Space is still when they take baseball bats to the printer. "Yeah, it's good to be a gangsta..."

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Ooh, another one from Hitchhikers:

Arthur "I think I'm a sofa."
Ford "I know how you feel."

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard Hayden: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right.
Tommy: You know a lot of people go to college for seven years.
Richard Hayden: I know, they're called doctors.

Tommy: Oh, that's gonna leave a mark!

Both from Tommy Boy.

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

My mother forbade us from watching Airplane, but of course, we did anyway. Then we started saying "What a pisser" about everything ...

"What a pisser."

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

My favorite person from Office Space was Milton...

Milton Waddams: [talking on the phone] And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

"Um, yeah. Milton, I'm gonna need you to move your desk. Yeah, down to storage room B. Yeah..."

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

I don't know exactly what movie it was - Brad Pitt in a whiney voice, "What's in the box?"

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

Oh, yeah... That was "Seven" -- Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, (Kevin Spacey ? I think).

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

I only saw a part of it. But boy sometimes utters that quote.

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

Mr. DS doesn't get it, but I never tire of "Wayne's World"

Besides, "Wayne's World, partytime, excellent!"

"Do I frighten you?"
"no"
"Do you want me to?"

"Pardon me. Do you have any grey poupon?"

"I've had plenty of jo-jobs. Nothing I'd call a career. Let me put it this way. I have an extensive collection of name tags and hair nets."

"A gun rack? A gun rack. I don't even own a gun , let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack."

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Game on!

WebGuy · Doesn't Do Windows

"Exsqueeze me?"

"Baking Powder?"

Oh yeah, I use that a lot:

"Car!"

... ...

"Game on!"

Another couple of my all time faves... both from Vera Donovan in Dolores Claiborne:

" Sometimes you have to be a high-riding ***** to survive. Sometimes being a ***** is all a woman has to hold onto. "

"Sometimes, Dolores, an accident can be an unhappy woman's best friend."

Tennessee Gal · Chairwoman Of The Board

This is very dated, but... when I'm having a bad moment I catch myself quoting the mermaid scientist in "Splash" and saying, "What a WEEK I'm having!".

I catch myself saying "We've got a bleeder" and "Franks and Beans" alot from "Something about Mary".

Movie my kids and I most often quote those is "Forrest Gump" by FAR!!

Examples: "I'm not a smart man" when I do something dumb.

"Seat's taken" when I teasingly won't let my kids sit down.

"We're peas and carrots" when talking about being bosom buddies.

Anytime shrimp is mentioned, we start naming ways to prepare it.

and last but not least...

"She tastes like cigarettes" when we see someone smoking.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

Around the office, we are partial to "Stupid is as stupid does, ma'am."

And "Run, Forrest! RUN!"

Tennessee Gal · Chairwoman Of The Board

Us too. Forgot those. Then there's the obvious one about the box of chocolates. Oh yeah... One more.

"That's all I've got to say about that".

Tennessee Gal · Chairwoman Of The Board

Oh... my favorite quote though came from my daughter when she was about 12. I was fussing at her about something when she said, "Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far far away". I cracked up. How can you stay mad after humor like that!!

"It's good to be the King." - History of the World, Part 1

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Maitre D: And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint.
Mr Creosote: No.
Maitre D: Oh sir! It's only a tiny little thin one.
Mr Creosote: No. F*** off - I'm full...
Maitre D: Oh sir... it's only wafer thin.
Mr Creosote: Look - I couldn't eat another thing. I'm absolutely stuffed. Bugger off.
Maitre D: Oh sir, just... just one...
Mr Creosote: Oh all right. Just one.
Maitre D: Just the one, sir... voila... bon appetit...
(As the Maitre D' takes cover, Mr. Creosote swallows the mint, expands and then blows up dramatically, spewing vomit on everyone and showing his open rib cage and still beating heart.)
Maitre D: Thank you, sir, and now the check.
Monty Pythons The Meaning Of Life

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Ah, The Meaning of Life

"Always look on the bright side of life!" *whistles*

"I'm afraid I have no choice but to sell you all for scientific experiments."

"Ah, I see you have the machine that goes PING!"

"Oh fishy fishy fishy fish."

"Every sperm is sacred..."

"It's a Mr. Death. He's here about the reaping."
