- Bernie Mac in "Life"

I think I like this movie more than most people, I know it's not an amazing movie but Martin/Eddie is just a great combo. The scene where Bernie Mac's character says the line above is the most memorable scene in the movie to me, it's a very heavy scene given the circumstances but Bernie's delivery somehow made it a funny scene on top of an emotional one.

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!"

"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)
