Was the first thing that came to mind but, people have reminded me of some great movie lines above.

What makes a good line ....? Is it the writing or is it the delivery?

I am thinking of scene after scene in the Godfather and then I look at the lines written out and I think ... meh.

When Tom Hayden was getting yelled at by the movie produce (smaltz?) ... lol =

"His olive oil hair and his guinea charm ... AND HE MADE ME LOOK RIDICULOUS AND A MAN IN MY POSITION CANNOT BE MADE TO LOOK RIDICULOUS - NOW YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE"

I don't know why but, just thinking about the scene cracks me up every time.

Oof what a scene - was it great writing though?
Some of my favorite comedic ones:  
Mike from SI : 6/2/2021 2:15 am : link
"What's done is done dad, are you gonna invest or not?" (And several others from this movie.)

"Yes sir, it's true. This man has no dick."

"Is granny spry?" / "They can't all be winners kid" / "I brought you juice." "What's in it?" "Juice."

Most of the dialogue in Tropic Thunder.

"I believe you. But my tommy gun don't!"

My favorites are mostly lines you can use in everyday situations.

"I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work, there, Lou."
(Fargo)

"I'm shocked - shocked - to find that gambling is going on in here!"
"Round up the usual suspects."
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
(Casablanca)

"Toto... I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!"
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
(The Wizard of Oz)

"Get used to disappointment."
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word..."
"Life IS pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
"As you wish."
(The Princess Bride)

"Get busy livin'... or get busy dyin'."
(Shawshank Redemption)

"This one goes to eleven."
"I wouldn't worry about it though. It's not a big college town."
(This is Spinal Tap)

"I'll have what she's having."
(When Harry Met Sally...)

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making people believe he didn't exist."
(The Usual Suspects)

"These aren't the droids you're looking for."
(Star Wars)

And thousands more...
Captain Blood.

Levasseur: You'll not take her while I live!

Captain Blood: Then I'll take her when you're dead!

There are two lines  
pjcas18 : 6/2/2021 10:59 am : link
from Shawshank I like and I like them more when considered together because they represent diametrically opposite perspectives.

From Red:
Quote:
..hope is a dangerous thing my friend,it can kill a man...


From Andy Dufresne:
Quote:
...Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies...

the Gladiator director (Ridley Scott) debunked that. Spoken by Crowe, yes, written by, I'm not sure about that.

interestingly, Scott also directed Blade Runner.

And also, that quote is identical (or very close) to one actually written and attributed to Marcus Aurelius 2000 years before Gladiator.

Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five'? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well do ya, punk?
