What is your favorite movie quote of all time.

Mine is

"I'd like to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair!'

Bette Davis as Madge in Cabin in the Cotton, 1932

 

[hydralique]

So many to choose from!

My all time favorite movie quote is from Polyester. Francine Fishpaw (Divine) is busy in her own bathroom while here evil mother, LaRue (Joni Ruth White), is waiting outside for them to go shopping. Distressed at losing "valuable shopping time", LaRue rudely opens the bathroom door on poor Francine and catches her sitting on the toilet. With a look of disgust, LaRue says "I don't know why you'd bother, you've always retained your fluids!"

LaRue then slams the door shut and goes into the bedroom to steal a twenty from Francine's wallet.

There will be no regrets when the worms come...

Line from an old war movie, one mans answer to wheather they should fight back.

Personally I want it on my headstone

 

[jeffg]

"So shines a good deed in a weary world."
-- Willy Wonka (quoting Shakespeare)

The line (and movie) is pure magic when you're 8 or 9 years old.

 

[panthera]

from Rocky Horror

"You will find, I can be quite generous when the mood takes me"
"Master, we ask for nothing"
"And nothing is what you shall receive, in abundance!"

Ok, quoting that from memory, but just love the way his eyes flash when he says that...

Over the top, camp to the max...that film did more for my self-esteem as a young gay man than anything else.

Steel Magnolias

"He's a real gentlman." "I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it."

and
"If you don't have anything nice to say." "Come sit here by me."

 

[westie2]

The Goonies

When Andy is playing the organ reading the music trying to save them all

"I don't know if this note is A# or Bb(Flat)" I was the only one in the theather that laughed as it is the same black key. Had idrty looks from folks around me. Had to explain it to my wife and kids now they get a kick out of it too.

Movie Quote

The best quote I have ever heard is "Love means never having to say you're sorry". (Love Story, 1970)

 

[turquoisedude]

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

"I AM big! It's the pictures that got small" - Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard (1950)

I used to love the take-off Carol Burnett used to do of the Norma Desmond character, too, but I digress...

 

[danemodsandy]

Mine....

...."This is just like my wedding night- so exciting!"

- Butterfly McQueen, Mildred Pierce, 1945

 

[frigilux]

"I don't mind hard work as long as there is no definite object of any kind."

Oscar Wilde

 

[danemodsandy]

And Another From "Mildred Pierce"....

(In response to Jack Carson's ogling of her while she's up on a ladder)

"Leave something on me- I might catch cold!"

- Eve Arden, Mildred Pierce, 1945

 

[fa_f3_20]

"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way!" -- Jessica Rabbit

 

[iheartmaytag]

From "The Wizard of OZ"

This is for my co-workers

"What would you do if you had a brain?"

 

[panthera]

"What would you do if you had a brain?"

"For years I thought my pillow was losing feathers every night, 'till I had an ear ache and stuffed my ears. Next morning, no feathers."
I can't for the life of me remember the movie, but boy does it fit...an Abbott and Costello?

 

[danemodsandy]

And This One:

"What a curious way to do your hair- or rather, not to do it."

Marlene Dietrich to Jean Arthur, A Foreign Affair, 1948

 

[danemodsandy]

And Another...

..."What do you think it was like to be a woman in this town when the Russians first swept in?"

Marlene Dietrich in A Foreign Affair, 1948

 

[oldhouseman]

How about..

...hhmm, it ain't right and you know what I'm talking about. Savannah would be better for ya. You'll just get in trouble in Atlanta.

Why Mammy darling what ever are you talking about?

You know what kind of trouble I'm talking about too. Miss Melly there and Mr. Ashley coming home on leave. You waitin' there just like a black widow spider -

Hush! And go pack my bags.....Atlanta..

Latter Days

"What if it's not something I've done? What if it's who I am?"

KA-SLAP!

 

[alanlendaro]

Latter Days..

What a great film that is.

Keep them coming guys!

Here is another one....

"Roger, you didn't take Lara's Mercedes?!"

Cary Grant as Rodger Thornhill in North By Northwest.

 

[alanlendaro]

woops

screwed that one up...

That line was said to Cary Grant after the spies tried to kill him and they were covering it up.

 

[oldhouseman]

On occasian

in staff meetings (we have one every Thursday) I glance around the table and give the staff a certain look.

There is a line from Cabaret that comes to mind.

Anytime our staff supervisor comes in after an election of state officials and announces "changes in department policy" I listen and ...

...remember when the main character's walked through the sitting room of the boarding house...the boarding house owner looked around and said.."I miss the Kaiser".

Whenever we have a change in state govenment I wait for the announcements and make the same statement.

Some look at me and agree (we understand the reference). The younger staff looks confused (and asks after the meeting "What was that about?")

We have a wonderful archivist on our staff who is from Germany. The Rhineland. She burst out laughing the first time she heard me quote the line. We bonded and have been good friends ever since.

 

[fa_f3_20]

Since we just recently lost Harvey Kormann, I'll quote one of my favorite lines from Blazing Saddles:

"Driver! Take me off this picture!"

 

[pturo]

Postcards from the Edge

"I think I love you"
"Really, when will you know for sure?"

 

[pturo]

Postcards from the Edge

"I don't want life to imitate art, I want life to BE art"

 

[pturo]

Ma and Pa Kettle

"I used to have an hourglass figure, but the sands have sure shifted"

 

[jimmyb]

Dolores Claiborne

I have two from this movie both from Vera Donovan

1. Sometimes you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive, sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto

2. Six pins Dolores! six pins, not five! (when Dolores is hanging the sheets.

 

[museairboy]

Pink Flamingos...

"I guess there's just two kinds of people Miss Sandstone...My kind of people and assholes. It's rather obvious which category you fit into. Have a nice day!"
