No worries gtt. I think it should be in the good line category, especially when seen in the movie. He was so good in that and Peggy Sue Got Married. Became too weird after that.
the other thread, I always like the line Keanu Reeves says in Parenthood.
Quote:
Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, or drive a car. Hell, you need a license to catch a fish! But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.
from Shawshank I love these contradictory line about Hope:
Andy in his letter to Red
Quote:
Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Red to Andy earlier:
Quote:
hope is a dangerous thing my friend,it can kill a man
The dichotomy of hope with the two perspectives was great.

Keanu's is one of my all time favorites. I think about it whenever I hear about a parent being an absolute turd.
Almost nothing beats "you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do you, punk?".
Unless it's "We're not in Kansas anymore", or "As You Wish" or "They call me Mr. Tibbs".
My personal favorite though and this brings me back to the actor thread is ins response to "Am I hallucinating here, just what in the hell do you think you're doing?" which is " Learning about Cuba, having some food."
Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
The worst line from a major motion picture that is
Bud Abbott says, "You don't even know what a husband is.", to which Lou replied, "Sure I do...a husband is what’s left of a sweetheart after the nerve has been killed."
They're eating her...and then they're going to eat me!...OH MY GOD!
*I'm having a vision of you bending over the stove. Now I can't see the stove.
*I sent the club a wire stating, PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I *DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER.
*Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
*Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
*Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
*I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
*I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.
*Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.
*Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?
*The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
not from a movie, but: Peter O'Toole has a double-phallic name.
I started a thread on on this a couple weeks ago. The most hilariously cold movie line I've ever heard comes after Lecter admits to eating a patient: "Best thing for him really. His therapy was going nowhere."
Sargent: (points to his arm) What does 3 up and 3 down mean to you?
Costello: End of an inning?
See, that's interesting - I didn't know that Good Morning Vietnam swiped that line from Abbott and Costello.
Taking absolutely nothing from Madplaid, I think he was mistaken. That line doesn't appear in Buck Privates as far as I can remember. I own every A&C movie ever made and I've seen that particular one at least 50 times over the past 50 years. I could be wrong, but I don't remember it.
"Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein". Costello is complaining that he got the ugly girl when him and Abbott went out on a double date. "She had so much bridgework, every time I kissed her I had to pay a toll".
You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Charlie: "Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast.
Terry: "It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money."
Charlie: "Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money."
Terry: "You don't understand, I could have had class. I could have been a contender. I could have been somebody...instead of a bum...which is what I am. Let's face it... It was you, Charley."
"What, so I gotta sit here and eat desert alone like I'm fuckin Stephen Glansberg?" - superbad
Stephen Glansberg is not a character in the movie, despite him being showed. He's just a fuckin guy that's never mentioned again. But that one line made Seth and Evan so relatable in that movie, it just so perfectly contextualized how their high school worked, who they were in comparison, and it was all just by virtue of having "that kid known for doing something weird" thrown into it in such a natural way.
Makes sense since Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg started writing that script in like 8th grade. It's such a "went to a big public school system" kid line.
Fuck it, I also love the line from 40 year old virgin where Andy tells his coworker he 'drives' a bike, and gets "ok mr Schwinn Fuckin Armstrong, who asked you, to drive a bike?",. Schwinn fuckin armstrong got me on day 1, and will always get me till I do. Fuckin hilarious and such natural dialogue.
“Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all.”
“My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!”
“Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high.”
"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders — the most famous of which is, “Never get involved in a land war in Asia” — but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line”
“There you are tubby, you look like a bucket of lard on a bad day. (Bending down and talking to Artie Lange’s stomach) Oh hi ice cream, having a good time running around in there? Baskin Robbins just called, they’re down to 5 flavors”
That's even better. Tomorrow, you'll be on parade in front of General Barnicke. And when he sees what total fuck-ups you are, I will recommend that your whole platoon repeat the entire course of basic training.

Hi nargi, you may be right about Buck Privates. I have a distinct memory of Costello saying, in his perfect delivery, “End of an inning” to that stupid question. Funny. Maybe it was in another Abbott & Costello movie? I must have watched all their movies on wpix every Saturday when I was a kid.
Your name is Tobe...I want to hear you say your name...

I watched this scene over and over as a kid and it always terrified me. I held on to it as a reminder that our convictions will be put to an awful test in this life.
Bladerunner - Roy Batty: "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it? That’s what it is to be a slave."
Shawshank Redemption "....A young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him. Tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone. This old man is all that's left."

Lol, considering his dead pan delivery, I can hear him saying it, too! And they were on Sunday...used to get home from Church, watch F-Troop, then whatever A&C movie that was on, and then the Yanks or Giants depending on the season! My grandfather is who turned me on to their movies. Hope you and your family are well, nice to see you posting.
Jules : Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!
Jules:“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
Honey Bunny: "I love you, Pumpkin."
Pumpkin: "I love you, Honey Bunny." [Stands and brandishes a gun] "Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
Honey Bunny: "Any of you f**kin' pricks move and I'll execute every motherf**king last one of you!"
Jules: "Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this s**t while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much s**t this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass."
“I ain’t got time to bleed”
I lost my hand! I lost my bride! Johnny has his hand! Johnny has his bride!
“Napoleon, don’t be jealous ’cause I’ve been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I’m training to become a cage fighter.”

Keanu's is one of my all time favorites. I think about it whenever I hear about a parent being an absolute turd.
Most likely the best line of Sam Elliot's career
"How the hell would you know what kind of goddamned day it is?"
"Fine day, Sergeant Major"
"What are you now, the fuckin' weatherman?"
Unless it's "We're not in Kansas anymore", or "As You Wish" or "They call me Mr. Tibbs".
My personal favorite though and this brings me back to the actor thread is ins response to "Am I hallucinating here, just what in the hell do you think you're doing?" which is " Learning about Cuba, having some food."
