I thought it'd be fun to post some of our favorite movie's quotes or scenes that stay in our minds. Include blockbusters and classics like "Frankly My Dear I Don't Give A Damn" or just a favorite/least favorite scene in general from a movie.

A couple:

"E.T. Phone Home". Remember how different ET was? My daughter cried at the end when he had to leave. (Is that a spoiler? Surely you've all seen it?)

"Yo Adrian" That scene with the Rocky theme playing in the background was so neat.

Include less or no blockbuster movies too. Those two came to mind right away to me.

TIS

Backdraft..."You go..we go".
Jaws...."We're gonna need a bigger boat".
Snakes on a plane..."I'm tired of these mother fu*ckin snakes on this mother fu*kin plane".
GWTW..."Frankly my dear I don't give a damn."..."I don't know nothin about birthing no babies".
Dirty Dancing..."No one sticks Baby in a corner".
Wizard of Oz.."We're not in Kansas any more"..."There's no place like home".

Great idea TIS.

My Cousin Vinny..."What is a yute?"

Big Jake..."You can call me Dad, you can call me Father, you can call me Jacob and you can call me Jake. You can call me a dirty old son-of-a-bitch, but if you EVER call me Daddy again, I'll finish this fight."

Forrest Gump..."My Mama always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get."

The Terminatior..."I'll be back."

From "To Kill a Mockingbird" - when the old pastor tells Scout (at the end of the trial), "Stand up, your father is passing". It's a line meant to show great respect and it always gives me goosebumps to see/hear that scene.

The one line that is always guaranteed to choke me up, "Hey, Dad, wanna have a catch?" (from "Field of Dreams").

"Klatuu barada nikto". The three words that can save the planet (from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" - the original). I'll remember those words just in case.....

From Strother Martin in "Cool Hand Luke", the unforgettable, "What we have here is failure to communicate". Duhhhhh.

"Here's looking at you, kid", from "Casablanca". I forget the guy's name who says it, but it's pure class.

Now you have me wanting to watch "To Kill a Mockingbird" this weekend.

I for the life of me still can't figure out the meaning of the title.

I think the guy you're thinking of from "Casablanca" is named Booger. Or something to that affect.

"Yeah, blondes are pretty scarce on this island"--original King Kong.

"Deserve's got nothing to do with it"--Unforgiven.

"She thought me the kindest, wittiest, gentlest man in the world...I was in complete agreement with her on that"--Laura.

Watch it... the title is quoted and is "explained".

Sling Blade..."I like them French fried potaters."

I've always thought Robert Armstrong's, "It was beauty killed the beast", was one of the most profound and sad ending lines in any movie.

Sling Blade: "Coffee makes me a might nervous when I drink it...mmm hmm!"

Deep Throat: "Unnnnhhh....aaaaarggggghhhh.....errrrr.....uggghhh....phew...."

Hey, PB, nice way to kill a thread!

"They drew first blood sir, not me" First Rambo movie I just watched this again last night that's why I thought of it.

"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone on this board what movie that is from.

"I'm gonna nail you for picking yer feet in Poughkeepsie!"

"Now youse can't leave." ---- A BRONX TALE

That definitely is one of the best one's ever.

A great one, Olivant. The real Gino's cafe was on Allerton Avenue and Boston Road, adjacent to White Castle. Me, my brother, my Dad, my uncles . . . we ate and drank there all our lives. But they finally closed down about 5 years ago. It's an office building now. Oh well.

On the flip side of the coin...

Maybe it wasn't so much at the time, but isn't this one of the lamest quotes ever..."Love means never having to say you're sorry." I mean I'm as romantic as the next gal, but what the hell does that even mean?

I admit, at the time it seemed ok, but doesn't hold up as a "great" movie quote to me.

TIS

TIS, it didn't make much sense in the 70s either.

I forget the exact quote, so I'll paraphrase. In "Love With The Proper Stranger," Steve McQueen's girlfiend (not Natalie Wood, the other one) says: "We are in love, aren't we?"

And Steve McQueen says: "Yeah, me with myself and you with yourself."

Great line.

Good memory PB. I haven't seen that movie in years and would not have remembered that line.

Oh, let's not forget..."you talkin' to me" Love it!

Browsing around, after posting the Love Story tagline, I found this site with old movie taglines(30's 40's). However I see one is from 1915. SC and others might get a kick out of it.

Before you click, what movie do you think this tagline might be from?

"Don't miss the funniest picture ever made." Hint: 1935

TIS

"Is she da one on your right...or on my right?"--"Mean Streets."

"He should have armed himself if he was planning to decorate his place with my friend."--"Unforgiven"

The best scene for me is the final duel in "The Good The Bad And The Ugly",blew me away the first time i saw this.

"Who are you?" Frank, in "Once Upon a Time in the West."

"You're a fuckin' jerkoff . . . he, he, he . . . and I'll tell you somethin' else, Mikey, I fuck you right where you breathe, 'cause I don't give two shits about you, or nobody else."

"...plus, they were all married to girls named Marie..."--"Goodfellas."

This one's for TB.

Captain Ross: "No your excellency. It's true we Americans don't know very much about you Japanese. And we never did. And now I realize you know even less about us. You can kill us. All of us, or part of us. But if you think that's going to put the fear of god into the United States of America, and stop them from sending other flyers to bomb you, you're wrong. Dead wrong. They'll come by night, they'll come by day. Thousands of them. They'll blacken your skies and burn your cities to the ground and make you get down on your knees and beg for mercy. This is your war. You wanted it. You asked for it. You started it. And now you're going to get it. And it won't be finished until your dirty little empire is wiped off the face of the earth."
