From Princess Bride:

"Anybody want a peanut?"
"No. Now stop it...I mean it!"


Anything from Monty Python cracks me up! But Holy Grail comes to mind right now, especially the swordfight: "Come back here and fight you coward!"
"But you have no arms"
"What..that? That´s just a scratch! A flesh wound!"

And..."We are the knights who say ´Ni´!"

I also love Young Frankenstein and History of the World..too funny!

Ooops, almost forgot two of my favorite sappy lines.

From City of Angels:

Cassio: "Was it worth it...the warmth?"
Seth: "I would rather have one touch of her hair...one kiss from her lips...than an eternity without it".

And...

"When they ask me what my favorite part was, I´ll tell them it was you".


sigh...sniff

One of my favorites is from Jackie Brown:
"My ass might be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass.'
also all the Marx-brothers' movies have some great quotes.

I remembered two more - both from Arthur - that we quote around the house all the time.
"What's it like having all that money?"
"It doesn't suck."

and the grandmother in her sitting room:
"PEANUTS!"

My favorite exchange from "Apocalypse Now" was when Willard and Kurtz finally meet:

Kurtz: Are you an assassin?
Willard: I'm a soldier.
Kurtz: You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill.

Something that makes me laugh just to think about it... From the Green Mile, "I smell me some corn bread." HA!
And I can't believe I forgot the unforgettable Madaline Kahn's "no no no yes, no no yes, no, yes" scene in History of the World. Lordy, that brings tears to my eyes. What a great gal she was!

Hey, I just remembered this line from Michael Powell's shocker, "Peeping Tom": when asked what mags sell the most(the killer also takes porno pics for spare cash), the psycho says, "Those with girls on the front covers, and no front covers on the girls." Bennett Cerf, the great publisher, described late 40's paperbacks as having "beautiful girls on the jackets...but..no jackets on the girls". Coincidence, you think,or...? tjoeb};>

Possibly the most profound line Clint Eastwood ever said has to be the one from his Oscar-winning "Unforgiven": in reply to the shaking young gunfighter after he has killed his 1st man and is consoling himself with "Oh well, I guess he had it comming", Clint sighs, "We've all got it coming,kid". It's echoed at the finale when he's fatally shot villianous sheriff Gene Hackman, who rasps out, "I don't deserve this.." Eastwood: "Deserves don't matter."

Movie "The Ref"- Gus says to Mother Rose.."Your husbands not dead, he's hiding."
That movie had a couple of great one liners.

Annie's voice-over at the start of "Bull Durham", my all-time favorite movie:

"I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu...and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary, and 108 stitches in a baseball.. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But, it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me.
"I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and, it's never boring. Which makes it like sex. There's never been a ballplayer slept with me who didn't have the best year of his career. Making love is like hittin' a baseball; you just have to relax and concentrate. Besides, I'd never sleep with a guy hittin' under .250, unless he had a lot of RBI's or was a great glove man up the middle. You see, there's a certain amount of life wisdom I give these boys. I can expand their minds. Sometimes when I've got a ballplayer alone, I'll just read Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman to him. And the guys are so sweet, they'll always stay and listen. Course a guy will listen to anything if he thinks it's foreplay."

Picking up on taprellim's use of "seize the day" to help get through a bad day, I use Al Pacino's line from "The Godfather": "Today I settle all family business."

I have this posted on the wall in my office and it helps me fight my tendency to procrastinate.

My favorite line- from My Best Friend's Wedding. Not a great movie, but I loved, and try to live by, Rupert Everett's line at the end: "There won't be any sex, but there WILL be dancing".

Bye now,

GET OFF OF MY PLANE!!!

Air Force One

Admiral! There be whales here!

Star Trek: The Voyage Home

One of the dumbest lines I've ever heard was at the beginning of Jumanji, when the 2 boys were burying the box and the wolves howl in the background. The younger boy says that he's scared and the older boy say's,"Don't be scared, it's only wolves!"

From "Strange Brew" as Bob McKenzie is about to drown in beer:

"My brother and me, we used to say that drowning in beer is like going to heaven. Well now he's not here, and I got two soakers -- this isn't heaven, this sucks!"

Just stumbled in...
In On Golden Pond when Henry Fonda drops the stuff on the porch and Katherine Hepburn sits down and hugs him.. he says I'm OLD and she looks into his eyes and says in her cracked,shaky, voice...You are my knight in shining armor...

That gives me chills and wet eyes.

In Say Anything a couple of things: when all the guys are trying to console Lloyd after Diane dumps him he says"If you guys know so much about women what are you doing drinking beers in the 7/11 parking lot on a Friday night without a girl in sight?"

And also from Lloyd "She gave me a pen??? A pen??

The whole speech Ben Affleck gives to Joey Lauren Adams in the van in Chasing Amy. If a guy ever said that to me when I was single....OH MY!

This just cracked me up: (From Jerry Maguire)
Did you shoplift the pooty?
(shocked pause)
I did NOT shoplift the pooty.
(pregnant pause)
Alright!...I shoplifted the pooty.

Or

(from High Fidelity)
Friend/Regular: Why would you sell this album to me and not that guy?
Barry: 'Cause you're not a GEEK.
Friend/Regular: You guys are elitist snobs.
All Three clerks: No we're not!
Friend/Regular: Yes you are. You think that you have the right to determine who's entitled and who's not just because you know pretty much more than anyone else about music.
(All three, agreeing) Yeah./ Thant's pretty much it./ Uhhuh!
(P.S. - Not the exact dialog - just the sence of the scene)

(from Oklahoma Crude) George C. Scott holds a man at gunpoint who would do anything to force Faye Dunaway to sell her claim, and urinates on his trouser leg.

George C.:

"What's the matter? Businessmen do this to eachother all the time.?"

My two favorite movies of all time boast a number of memorable quotes

from Ferris Beuller's Day Off:
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while; you could miss it."

from Empire Records:
"I do not regret the things I've done but those I did not do" & "This music is the glue of the world, without it life would be meaningless"

And from other movies....

from That Thing You Do:
"Come on! A man in a really nice camper wants to put our song on the radio!" & "Well, looks like Lenny's going fishin'"

from The Devil's Advocate:
"Oh...I have so many names."

from Can't Hardly Wait:
"You know what they say about women and trolley cars? There's plently of them in the sea." And "Do they serve an orthopedic function?" (Talking about shoes)

One of the all-time funniest and most romantic(in its way) lines is from Easter Parade, when Judy Garland serenades Fred Astaire, and he replies, "Why didn't you tell me I was in love with you?" Now THAT could've been a great song if Irving Berlin, the film's songwriter, had done so! ---------------------- "In order to compose,all you need to do is remember a tune that nobody else has thought of"-Robert Schumann tjoeb};>
