Favorite Movie Quotes

[okarol]

Lots of movies have memorable dialog. Not sure which is my favorite, but I will start here with one of the ones I love!

Even if I wanted to go my schedule wouldn’t allow it. 4:00, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize. 6:30, dinner with me... I can’t cancel that again! 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing; I’m booked! Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9 I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?! –Jim Carrey, in How the Grinch Stole Christmas

"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 hand gun 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!"

If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

With help from www.imdb.com so they were accurate:

The Godfather
Clemenza (to his associate, who has killed Paulie in the car)
Clemenza: Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.

Don Corleone: Never let anyone outside the family know what you're thinking.

The Godfather 2
Michael Corleone: I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Corleone: There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vito Corleone: I make him an offer he don't refuse.

Michael Corleone: If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone.

Michael Corleone: Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

(I just love the Godfather movies!)

Sunset Boulevard

Joe Gillis: You're Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big.
Norma Desmond: I *am* big. It's the *pictures* that got small. 

All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

American Beauty:

Lester Burnham: [narrating] I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.

Lester Burnham: When I was your age, I flipped burgers all summer just to be able to buy an eight-track.
Ricky Fitts: That sucks.
Lester Burnham: No, actually it was great. All I did was party and get laid. I had my whole life ahead of me.


Easy Rider:
George Hanson: You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it.
Billy: Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into like, a second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat or somethin'. They're scared, man.
George Hanson: They're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em.
Billy: Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut.
George Hanson: Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom.
Billy: What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about.
George Hanson: Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what's it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em.
Billy: Well, it don't make 'em runnin' scared.
George Hanson: No, it makes 'em dangerous.

Month Python and the Holy Grail
King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left.
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: *Look*!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

I probably have so many other quotes from movies I like but I can't think of them all right now.

 How about Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke,

"What we've got here is a failure to communicate." — spoken by "Luke", at the end  of the movie

The phrase "What we've got here is (a) failure to communicate" is a famous line from the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke.

There are actually two close variants of the line that are spoken at different points in the film. Nuances of accent, delivery, and intonation aside, they are as follows:

"What we've got here is...failure to communicate." — spoken by "The Captain", the imperious prison warden played by Strother Martin, near the epitasis of the storyline.
"What we've got here is a failure to communicate." — spoken by "Luke", the reprobate inmate played by Paul Newman near the catastrophe of the action
