best AND worst movie line:

“I ain’t got time to bleed”
at least get it right  
Victor in CT : 6/30/2020 10:43 am : link
for the Cage quote, I think you are referring to Moonstruck? If so, it's:
I lost my hand! I lost my bride! Johnny has his hand! Johnny has his bride!
Vic, Mea culpa that's the whole line

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.

Pretty much every one liner from Commando

“Don’t disturb my friend, he’s dead tired”
“What happened to Sully?,
Matrix:”I let him go”
“Let off some steam Bennett”.

That movie is the jackpot of good and bad lines.

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.

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."
"Leave the gun. Take the cannolis."

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.

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.
