Collection of Favorite Movie Phrases

[new6ton]

What are the favorite or touching phrases you have ever heard in movies? Mine is that scene in Phantom of the Opera:

Christine:

"Pitiful creature of darkness
What kind of life have you known?
God give me courage to show you,
You are not alone."

Who wrote that line anyway?

What's yours?

 

[hutchphd]

Oh there are so many floating in my head. Just yesterday I found youtube for one of my favorite: ad hoc ad loc and quid pro quo...so little time ...so much to know...

 

[Vanadium 50]

My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

 

[BillTre]

I sorry Dave, I can't do that.

 

[Bystander]

Joe: My mistake. Four coffins...

 

[fresh_42]

The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe.

Lol. . . I'm sorry Bill, but I think the correct quote went. . . like this . .

OK:

I sorry Dave ??

There are many good quotes from movies, but I want to take the opportunity to honor one of the kings of funny one-liners, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Some famous Arnie quotes:

"If it bleeds, we can kill it."
- from Predator. That sounds pretty logical.

"I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle."
- From Terminator 2, said by the terminator to a biker guy in a biker bar full of other biker guys.

"Consider that a divorce."
- from Total Recall, after he kills his fake wife.

"See you at the party, Richter!"
- from Total Recall, after his enemy Richter falls to his death from an elevator.

"Let off some steam."
- from Commando, after he kills a man by impaling him on a steam pipe.

"Stay thy hand, fair prince!" (said by someone else to Hamlet)
"Who said I'm fair?"
- from Last Action Hero, where Schwarzenegger plays Hamlet in a hilarious dream sequence. I actually quite like some scenes in the Last Action Hero, particularly the Hamlet scene, but the movie was not a very well received movie.

"To be or not to be? Not to be."
- from Last Action Hero, after Hamlet blows up the castle.

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Hamlet in "Last Action Hero":

I only remembered two phrases in two movies (by heart), mostly romantic. The second one is from Runaway Bride:

"I guarantee that we'll have tough times. I guarantee that at some point one or both of us will want to get out. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Because I know in my heart, you're the only one for me"

It's even better when you help.

Some famous Arnie quotes:

..., and, "I'll be back."

 

[BillTre]

I sorry Dave ??

Ha! Fixed it again.
(should be a movie line)

 

[fresh_42]

 

[OCR]

Ha! Fixed it again.

Ah, very good. . . and .

[Mark44]

"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

This is the actual quote from the movie in question, which is a paraphrase from the book that the movie was based on.

 

[Mark44]

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

 

[jtbell]

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”

 

[BillTre]

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”

We're going to need a bigger boat.

This is a third phrase I'll not forget. I'm looking for moving or touching phrases, something no future android or AI can't utter because they don't have a soul (source of abstract ideas).

This is from Independence Day:

“Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind.”

“‘Mankind.’ That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom … Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution … but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist.”
“And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: ‘We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive!’ Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”

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.

 

[sandy stone]

"Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?"
"Are they made with real Girl Scouts?"

Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine. . . .

[jtbell]

OK:
I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

"Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it."

We're going to need a bigger boat.

One of THE best quotes from a totally awesome film.

One of my favourite film quotes is when Ben Sharkey confronts the Bikers below
From 1.47-1.52 but the clip gives a bit of context

 

[pinball1970]

Saddest? 'Its happening.' great film.

 

[gleem]

"I'm going to have to science the s#i! outta this."

 

[pinball1970]

"I'm going to have to science the s#i! outta this."

Did anyone else look for holes in the science?

Anyway.

'Get away from her you b1tch!'

 

[pinball1970]

'You were my brother Charlie you shuda looked out for me a little bit, you shuda taken care of me a little bit. so I wouldn't have had to take those cheap dives for the short end money. I could have had class, I could have been a contender, I could have been somebody. instead of a bum which is what I am.'

 

[pinball1970]

Spread the word.
Get on the wire to every squadron
around the world.
Tell them how to bring
those sons of b1tches down.

This is probably. . .

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."

 

[WWGD]

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"

 

[sysprog]

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)

 

[Wrichik Basu]

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).

 

[jbriggs444]

"The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon. The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!"

'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.
