O/T Favorite Lines........

Does anyone have any favorite lines from a movie that keep coming back to them?

I think my all time favorite line was from the movie "Hallelujah Trail", a western set in Denver when Denver was in its infancy. Burt Lancaster played a cavalry Colonel. When a gal promoting temperance came into town and made a nuisance of herself trying to dry up the town, Lancaster got off the line, "Give a woman an acorn and the next thing you know you're up to your rump in oak trees".
 
I have a few lines. One is from a Clint Eastwood movie "Go Ahead Make My Day". Then there is one on the 3 Stooges when Moe asks Larry, "What do you think?" and Larry replies "I don't think-I know" and Moe said "I don't think you know either". That isn't what Larry meant but it's funny if you like the Stooges. In one of their other short films a man asked the 3 Stooges if they took him for some sort of fool and Curly replied "Is there more than one kind?"

I'll stop there I could go on and on...
 
In the movie Josey Wales, Fletcher says "Don't pi$$ down my back and tell me its raining" And Granny Hawkins saying "You know what I think? All that big talk don't mean didley squat."
 
[i:a5eee78613]The Parson [/i:a5eee78613](describing his ancient English country church):
I always say my West window has all the exuberance of Chaucer without, happily, any of the concomitant crudities of his period.
 
In that same movie, the gal was giving a speech against alcohol. At one point she said, "Do you realize both of my husbands literally drank themselves into an early grave?"

Lancaster commented, "I can't imagine why."
 
Sheriff Billy: You cowardly son of a b!tch you just shot an unarmed man !!
William Muney: Well,he should have armed himself !
 
Sam Elliot in The quick and the dead. He tells the husband about 10 times that the husband has a fine looking woman
 
"Ain't nothing like a nice piece of hickory" from pale rider. I say it out loud sometimes when I pick up the axe or sledgehammer!
 
In the movie "In Harm's Way" when they hear that Pearl Harbor was attacked, Burt Douglas says to John Wayne "We got us gut bustin, mother lovin Navy war".

Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry - "Well do ya punk?".
 
Since I do auto repair, from Joe Dirt when Kevin Nealon as the mechanic says, "Well maybe when Unicef gets into the auto repair business." I use that one a lot.

From Animal House, "My advice to you is start drinking heavily."
 
Lady you are kissing my elbow.





Open Range: Now we'll have our drinks.


Tombstone: He's down by the creek walking on water.

I'm your Huckleberry.
 
In Eastwood's Pale Rider, he rapes a woman then later she comes in and shots at him, then he goes I wonder what took her so long to get mad, then Mortimer the little guy says maybe cause you didn't come back for more!
 
"No such thing as a normal life...Its just life" - Tombstone

You just shot an unarmed man...."Well he should have armed himself then" - Unforgiven

"Dont think you are....Know you are" - The Matrix
 
"Worlds Fastest Indian"

Track official to Burt Munro "Your motorcycle doesn't even have any brakes!"

Burt "Well, I didn't come here to stop, now did I?"
 
another great line from that movie was near the end
Jackson the Indian says to Kid you fell off the wagon Kid your eyes are blood shoot

and Lee Marvin's response while he was sittin on the also drunk looking horse both leaning up against a building was

You should see them from my side
 
From "Sling Blade" my brother and will sometimes say to each other, "I reckon I feel alright". Or I want me some of them there French fried pertaters" :)
 
Tony Hancock in The Rebel. Fed up with trendy swinging 60's London says to the waitress in a coffee bar:
Hancock: Cup of tea please dear.
Waitress: We only do coffee. Expresso or cappuccino
Hancock: All right then I'll have a white one, no froth
Waitress: No froth?
Hancock: I don't like froth!
Waitress: That's half the attraction, you must have froth!
Hancock: I don't want any froth. I want a cup of coffee, I don't want to wash my clothes in it
Waitress: I've never heard of anyone who doesn't like froth
Hancock: Well you have now! One white coffee, no froth.
 
Not from a movie - but from me. And this is true for a lot of things today. Here goes - " They don't make them like that any more".
 
"The Usual Suspects": "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world that he didn't exist."
 
(quoted from post at 23:59:16 10/13/16) Ted Knight in Caddyshack

Forget the movie but -

"I'm going to hit you so hard your head's gonna hum like a ten penny finishing nail hit with a greasy ball peen hammer."
 
Lonesome Dove: Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Its a good life although rich with hardships at times

Second Hand Lions: We don't know nothing about raising young boys so if you need it get it yourself or better yet learn to live with out it
 
I heard this as a True story. Local circuit judge sentenced a low-life drunk driver to 21 months or so, in Barry County MO., and just happened to visit the local county jail later in the week, Man pleaded, Oh Judge, I just can't stand this, you gotta let me out, I just cannot take this, I just cannot do 21 months!!! Judge looked at him very sorrowfully and concerned, and patted him on the arm, and said "Well just do all the time you can" and walked out.
 
Jeez, hard to pick ONE. I've got lots of them, just about any line from Blazing Saddles (" If You Shoot Him, You'll Just Make Him Mad."), ("The Sheriff is a (GONG!)
Hunt for Red October: "Give me a ping, Vasily. One ping only, please",
 
Marlon Brando in "The Appaloosa"

To a Mexican bandit: "I don't know who you are, mister, but the next time you point a gun at me you better use it."

To a priest in confession: I killed a lot of men and took a lot of women. But the men I killed needed killin' and the women I took needed takin'.
 
The movie Titanic..

Captain Smith: "Where the f**k is all this water coming from?"
 
There are a lot of them in the remake of True Grit. One that makes me chuckle is. "Keep your seat trash" and "Too slim Rooster ,too thin". " I have taken his teeth but I will entertain offers on the rest of him".
 
Life's tough and even tougher if your stupid (John Wayne i think)

I'll be your Huckleberry (Tombstone)

Common sense has become so rare it should be considered a Super Power ( unknown)
 
Was just watching that movie last night. One of those all time greats that you watch again, no matter how many times you've seen it.
 
Last of the Mohicans: Miss Monroe. They are not strangers, and they stay as they lay!

Well, we face north and real sudden like turn left.

Grabs Duncan's arm: In case your aim is any better than your judgement.
 
How about Wiley Nelson in I think Electric Horseman saying something like "I'm going downtown and get me one of those women who can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch".
 
Whenever a situation has turned into more than we bargained for-

Bruce Willis in Die Hard line "we'll get together, have a few laughs..."
 
My all time favorite.

From the TV show WKRP in Cincinnati
While the on scene reporter is describing the chaos and pandemonium of what is happening at the mall parking lot.
The station manager who thought it would be a great promotion to drop live turkeys from the traffic helicopter to the shoppers several hundred feet below;

From How the West was Won, Zebulon Prescott:

O Lord, without consulting with Thee, we have sent thy way some souls whose evil ways passeth all understanding. We ask Thee humbly to receive them... whether you want them or not! Amen.
 
Bingo.

Blazing Saddles was a parody upon western movies. "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges" was borrowed from The Treasure of Sierra Madre. I believe it was John Derrick who said it.

How about "We almost lost a perfectly good hand car" from Blazing Saddles....
