Collection of Favorite Movie Phrases

Clint's character is being followed by a thug. He notices, goes after him and pins him to the ground.
"Who sent you after me?"
"My superiors sent me."
"That doesn't narrow it down much."

Back to School.
Rodney's listening in class to a teacher ( Sam Kinison) a Vietnam vet who seems to start shouting and getting excited at things for no apparent reason.
"Good teacher, really seems to care. About what, I have no idea!

"Frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn."

Umm -- Mr. Rhett Butler doesn't use Miss Scarlett O'Hara's name in his last words to her in that film -- it's "Frankly, my Dear, I don't give a damn."

I like this line from Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (near the end of this clip he presents a nice solution to a 3-body problem ): "You see, in this world, there's two kinds of people, my friend; those with loaded guns, and those who dig; you dig."

I guess Clint could have added: You dig? Other guy. "Yes, I dig"

Ennio Morricone wrote the music for that movie (The Good, the Bad & the Ugly) and for about 400 other films -- Hugo Montenegro and his Orchestra performed it -- Hugo wrote the theme song for the the TV show I Dream of Jeannie (title taken from a Stephen Foster song):



When I was a little boy I would hold the oral thermometer near an incandescent light bulb until the mercury registered 101 degrees Fahrenheit so I could plausibly let on to my Mom that I was sick and probably contagious so I could stay home from school and watch Barbara Eden -- I didn't know why when I was 7 years old (she's 88 now and still pretty in my eyes), but I knew I liked her.

I know the OP asked for movie quotes, but I stumbled upon a funny dialogue in a tv series I wanted to share.
I am watching Sherlock again, and in "A Scandal in Belgravia" (Season 2, episode 1),
when Sherlock and Watson are fighting, Watson gets a grip around Sherlock from the back and the following
short dialogue occurs:

Watson: You want to remember, Sherlock, I was a soldier. I killed people.
Sherlock: You were a doctor!
Watson: I had bad days!

And I found a clip of it on youtube here:
(the dialogue is at 0:29, but for a better context, watch the whole clip)

I don't watch movies much, but here is one that I like, but found that nobody has mentioned here yet:

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've kinda lost track myself. But being 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 you, punk?

And another one:

"Where did they go? Space?"
"Not into space. Into the space between spaces."

Seems we got a lot of Clint Eastwood fans in here.

 

[WWGD]

Only genre in which I think he , Clint, has not dabbled, is comedy. Wonder how that would turn out with his usual over-intense facial expression. Edit: He has filmed many different types. To be fair, I can't imagine Dangerfield filming a Western or a cop movie.

 

[XZ923]

Hope you'll forgive "cheating" a bit by offering a TV quote instead of a movie quote, but I think my favorite of all time is "The freedom to make my own mistakes was all I ever wanted" (Mance Rayder from Game of Thrones).

'Every which way but loose' and 'Every which way you can,'

 

[WWGD]

'Every which way but loose' and 'Every which way you can,'

Good points. IIRC, he held his intense gaze through most of them? EDIT: Not a criticism of his , I am a fan, just curious.

Yes he did and his intonation ranged from quietly brooding to brooding but he just happened to have that charisma that could keep you fixated and interested.
His one liners have been explored on here so hats off to the writers who wrote the ultimate one liners for the ultimate lead guy.

Yes, I give him credit for integrity, having his own style.

We old guys remember rollin' rollin' rolling -- keep them dogies rollin' -- roll 'em in -- rawhide! Rawhide! -- Rowdy Yates -- Mr. Eastwood's first big role.

hats off to the writers who wrote

That's so true. I saw a thing not too long ago where someone asked Jerry Seinfeld if the cast could get back together and do a new "Seinfeld" episode. His reply was along the lines of, we don't need to get the cast back together, we'd need to get the writers back together and that will just never happen...

Didn't David and Larry contribute in the writing?

Another good one:

"Makes it look like we're sizing up the situation. Gives her time to get the wrong impression."
...
"Are you here to make fun of me too?"
"No ma'am. We at the FBI don't have a sense of humor that we're aware of."

Morricone's music to the Good the bad and the ugly was fantastic.

The good the bad and the ugly didn't make my top 20 and although there are some great lines it is the music that stands out.
Please allow this very slight digression.
