Default Best Line from a Movie

I used to have this boss who, as part of his mid-life crisis, thought he was a mobster and liked to pretend he was with the mafia. I always knew when he had watched Dirty Harry again for the hundredth time...

He would come running up the stairs and growl in his most dramatic voice, "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?!"

What is the best line out of a movie?

My dad and I quote Lawrence of Arabia ALL the time. Random things like: "Moses did!" whenever somebody says "you're going to do [what]?!" and "It's a fat country, with fat people" whenever anybody says anything about America/Americans.

He also quotes Godfather ALL the time. Whenever my mom asks him about work, he says, "Just this once, Kay." (As in, never ask me about my business.)

And my friends and I don't seem to have an original sentence in our heads because it all comes out Anchorman. "By the beard of Zeus!" Or Zoolander. "Mer-MAN!"

Ahhh, without movies I would be a mute. I think if I had to try to go for an extended period of time using my own words and not Adam McKay's I'd go insane.

Anything from Monty Python is AMAZING! I don't know if I could pick out even a dozen lines from all of my favourites.

But when I saw Mallrats, I found the best OPENING line from a movie:

"This one time my cousin Walter got a cat stuck in his ass."

At my last job, conversations with friends were usually 50% Office Space. Old School is another classic source of lines. I was the best man in a friend's wedding last weekend, so I actually got to use one of my favorites while standing at the altar next to him:
"You get one vagina for the rest of your life. Real smart Frank. Way to work it through."

I agree- we quote Office Space all the time at work and Old School is one of my faves.

How about,

Biillllyyyy, you so stupid! Your supposed to say infinity times infinity! - White Men Can't Jump

True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend...

You've got a fuckin dart in your neck man.
You crazy. I like you, but you crazy

-Old School

"i'm gonna punch you in the ovaries. Right in the baby-maker"
"why don't you go back to your home on whore island"

Anchorman seems to be my favorite quoting movie. Closely followed by Snatch, Monty Python and of course Caddyshack

"so i got that going for me, which is nice..."

"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"

I love you. You quote Python and TBL. :D

A few that are in regular rotation:

"Nobody fucks with The Jesus."

"Donny, you're outta your fucking element!!"

"I am the walrus."

But then we devolve into the Spinal Tap stuff.

"There's a fine line between clever and stupid."

"This is an actual representation of my internal structure."

In the heat of battle in the kitchen I tend to bark out quotes from war movies. Patton is always there... Kind of fitting...

"Where you goin, General?

"Berlin! I'm gonna personally shoot that paper-hanging sonofabitch!!"

"We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose"

"Thirty years from now, when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you, "What did you do in the great World War II," you won't have to say, "Well... I shoveled shit in Louisiana."

"Rommel! You magnificent bastard!! I READ YOUR BOOK!!"

Of course, I can't ignore my other favorite war movie, Kelly's Heroes...

"What's with all the negative wave, Moriarity??"

Being a huge HST fan, Fear and Loathing abounds.

"AIIEEEE! BATS! We cant stop here, this is BAT country!"

Then, the others, perhaps more obscure... See if you can guess where this is from...

"What am I gonna say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?"

Kelly's Heroes....fuck yeah man. I was just having a conversation about that flick tonight. I need to buy it. Sutherland's best performance ever in my opinion.

yeah, that last one sounds like Grosse Point.

How about another Spinal Tap:

"I mean how much more black could this be? And the answer is none, none more black."

Or more amazing TBL:

"Is that a marmot?"
"Obviously you're not a golfer."

Or Full Metal Jacket:

"This is my rifle, this is my gun. This is for fighting, this is for fun."

"God has a hard-on for marines because we kill everything we see!"

ANYTHING out of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

" A drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to deal with this trip."

"I was right in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo, and somebody was giving booze to these goddamn things. Won't be long now before they tear us to shreds. "
