i was researching a film quote for a book i'm working on and found it in this list of movie quotes:

# "Yippie-kye-aye, motherfucker!" - Die Hard
# "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." - The Silence of the Lambs (I cannot hear the words liver, fava beans, and/or chianti without immediately hearing this line in my head.)
# "Does your dog bite?" "No." ... "I thought you said your dog doesn't bite." "It's not my dog." - The Pink Panther Strikes Again

# "Frankenstein. Frankenstein." - Young Frankenstein
# "What we've got here is failure to communicate." - Cool Hand Luke
# "And don't call me Shirley." - Airplane. Okay, I never thought this one would make it on the AFI list, since I figured they would be way too snobby. They weren't. So they got that going for them. Speaking of which...

# "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes." - The Godfather. Oddly, I personally prefer that quote to "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
# "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum." - They Live. I totally have to figure out how to work that quote into my every day speech.

# "Feed me, Seymour." - Little Shop of Horrors
# "Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?" - 2001: A Space Odyssey. I know this isn't the quote most people would pick from the film, but for some reason, it's the one that always stuck with me.

# "I know I'm gonna miss her. A tomato ate my sister." - Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Okay, so it's from the theme song. Still, it counts. Right?

"Does your dog bite?"

(clouseau reaches down to pet the dog, dog rips the sh*t out of his hand, clouseau stands up, ramrod straight and says...)

I could quote a dozen lines from Top Gun that I love, but if I had to pick one that I live by, it would be "Don't Leave Your Wingman." :)

And to prove that even bad movies have something redeeming, two quotes from Under Siege 2 that have always stuck in my mind are "Chance favors the prepared mind", and "A Gig of RAM will fix that." See, there IS something to be learned from a Steven Segal movie. :D

-Randy
 
I started to type some in, but realize I could do this endlessly. Heck, a couple of my coworkers and friends and I daily recite some of our favorite quotes especially from films like Top Gun, Aliens, and from numerous films in the Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and James Bond films.

"I'm getting too old for this shit."
 
There are so many lines from so many movies that I love, and so many lines I cherish...
Actually- I could probably spend all day on Coen Brothers movies, and Kevin Smith movies. Here is only a sampling- edited for the forum- There are a lot of lines I wouldn't want the wrong eyes (young person) to see.

"Notorious B.I.G. once said- you either sling crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot- I did the white boy version of slinging crack rock- I became a stock broker"- Boiler Room

"On a long enough timeline the survivability rate for everyone falls to zero. I was a recall coordinator. My job was to apply "the formula". A car built my company leaves someplace traveling at 65 mph- the rear differential locks up. the car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now: Do we initiate a recall? I take the number of units in the field- A, and multiply it by the probable failure rate- B, I then multiply the result by the average out of court settlement- C. A times B times C equals X- if X is less than the cost of the recall: we don't do one." - Fight Club

"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster"- Goodfellas

"You and I have unfinished business"- Kill Bill

"If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up- it is SO choice"- Ferris Bueller

"The Dude Abides"- The Big Labowski

"F#@k it dude, let's go bowling"- The Big Labowski

Delmer "Care for some gofer Everitt?"
Everit "Why no Delmer- I fear a third of a gofer would only arouse my appetite without having substance to bed her back dowm"- O'Brother Where Art Thou?

36!?!?! Does this INCLUDE ME? 37!?!?!- Clerks

"Hey do you have hubcaps for a 72 pinto? Oh- minitrucker magazine!"- Clerks
 
Oh man...best thread ever! :tongue:

Ghostbusters... yes.

- "I swear Matt, if you don't F**k her, I'll kill myself. I'll kill myself...F**k her for me, Matt, F**k her for me! - The Girl Next Door (KID - your welcome :wink: )

- "Where all da white women at?" - Kentucky Fried Movie

- "Believe me Mikey, I've been there, I know what it's like... I mean not for 6 months for anything, but I've been there." - Swingers

- "Show it to 'er" - Dazed and Confused

:biggrin:

Should be Spiderman.

One of my favourite quote would be, "Bond, James Bond". Can't wait for the next Bond movie and give Craig Daniel a chance to show his version of the agent 007.

"Yeah baby yeah" Austin Power. "Honestly it's not mine".

Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

Every time Catherine would turn on the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.

Grace? She passed away thirty years ago.

Clark: Oh, I was just smelling - smiling. I was just blouse - browsing. I, uh, heh heh. Well, I guess it just wouldn't... Oh hee hee, it wouldn't be the Christmas shopping season if the stores were any less hooter than they - HOTTER than they are. Whew. It is warm in here, isn't it?
Mary: You have your coat on.
Clark: Yes, oh do I? Yeah, it is a bit nipply out. I mean nippy. What am I saying, nipple?
Clark: 'Tis the season to be merry.
Mary: That's my name.
Clark: No shit.

I dont like Chevy Chase, but I love this movie. Its a must see in about 3 months.

One of my favorite lines includes a touch of Rutger Hauer improvisation:

From my favorite sci-fi comedy BACK TO THE FUTURE:

"Are you telling me you built a time machine...out of a Delorean?" -Marty McFly

"The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine into a car, you might as well do it with style." -Doc Brown

I had entered many more quotes from various films, but my login timed out...
