"Louis this looks like the beging of a beautiful friendship." - Casablanca
"You played it for her, you can play it for me." - Casablanca
"Rosebud" - Citizen Cane
"I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" - Network
"I'll worry about that tomorrow. . .For tomorrow is another day." - Gone With the Wind.
And a few lines from Star Wars that sound dirty.
"Luke at that speed will you be able to pull out in time?"
"You came in that? Your braver than I thought."
"I don't care what you smell. You big hairy, oaf. Get in there!"
Two from Tombstone:
Wyatt Earp: You die first, get it? Your friends might get me in a rush, but not before I make your head into a canoe, you understand me?
Wyatt Earp: You tell 'em I'm coming... and hell's coming with me, you hear?
And from Blue's Brothers:
Jake: [fakes accent] How much for the little girl? How much for the women?
Father: What?
Jake: Your women. I want to buy your women. The little girl, your daughters... sell them to me. Sell me your children.
This is an awesome monologue from a short-lived television show, Firefly.
[Said by a teenage girl with a cockney accent to a low-level-crime-boss]
River Tam: Sure, I got a secret. More than one. Don't seem likely I'd tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Dyton Colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talking loud enough for the both of us though, ain'tcha? I've known a dozen like you. Skipped off home early, running graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lockdown, but less than you claim. And you're what? Petty thief with delusions of standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.
"Goodbye, Jean-Luc. I'm gonna miss you... you had such potential. But then again, all good things must come to an end..." -- Q
My favorite quotes are almost all entirely from the same movie....
Oskar Schindler: Stern, if this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I'll be very unhappy.
Itzhak Stern: It's Hebrew, it's from the Talmud. It says, "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."
Oskar Schindler: I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more.
Itzhak Stern: Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them.
Oskar Schindler: If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just...
Itzhak Stern: There will be generations because of what you did.
Oskar Schindler: I didn't do enough!
Itzhak Stern: You did so much.
[Schindler looks at his car]
Oskar Schindler: This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people.
[removing Nazi pin from lapel]
Oskar Schindler: This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this.
[sobbing]
Oskar Schindler: I could have gotten one more person... and I didn't! And I... I didn't!
A few from an assortment of other films
DuPont: And you, Preston, the supposed savior of the resistance, are now its destroyer, and, along with them, you've given me yourself... calmly... coolly... entirely without incident.
John Preston: [Polygraph machine scribbling rapidly] No.
[Polygraph suddenly registers Preston completely in control]
Polygraph Technician: Oh... S***.
John Preston: Not without incident.
Maj. Alan Crown: [after the Canadians finished singing a mocking version of 'Yankee Doodle'] Corporal Peacock, your stripes are not a licence to behave like an ***. There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks, is that clear?
Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock: Yes, sir.
Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock: [addressing the Canadians] There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks.
Pvt. Hugh MacDonald: Oh, would ordinary insults be acceptable, sir?
That is all.
"Don't you know dead is spelled m-e-n-t-a-l in CoH? - SapphireShot
It doesn't have the emotional content of some of the others here. It's not touching or awe inspiring. I pick this quote becase, when it all comes down to it, it is the most accurate thing ever said in a movie:
Zombieland: Thank God for rednecks!
The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
My favorite from Real Genius:
"Can you hammer a 6" spike through a board with your p****?"
"No"
"Girl's got to have her standards."
Like Princess Bride for quote sources, "game over, man!" from Aliens gets quoted a lot in my circle of friends, I'll toss in another vote that Second Hand Lions is very good and those quotes were excellent.
For a fresh addition here:
You're going to need a bigger boat.
-Chief Brody, Jaws

We like to add "mostly" to anything someone says is always or mostly true, of course we say it the same way Newt said it in the movie. |

Major T already won with the true best line ever from Princess bride, but those are some other ones I like.
What about the
'Offer me Money'
'Yes.'
'Power too, Promise me that!'
'All that I have and more, Please!'
'Offer me everything I ask for!'
'Anything you want'
'I want my father back you son of a *****!'
*STAB*
That's also cool.

I think my fave from Princess Bride are these:
There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.
and:
No. To the pain.
(and that entire scene!)
"I could eat a peach for hours." Face Off - Nicholas Cage
Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day, SET a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

ok heres one of my all time faves:
"Conan what three things are best in life?"
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women." - Conan the Barbarian
Mine's from Fight Club. It's from the scene in which Tyler kidnaps the store clerk:
Tyler: If you are not on your way to being a vertrenarian in six weeks, you will be dead.
Now run home.
Jack: Jesus Christ, man! What the f*** was that!?
Tyler: Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymon K. Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you or i will ever know.
*edit: thought of another one, "Let's get outta here before one of those things kills Guy!"-Tawney Madison, GalaxyQuest
Favourite rant in a movie?
Edgar Friendly: "You see, according to Cocteau's plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".

Edit: If there's no limit on the number of quotes or the length of them, here's one from Cast Away.
Spoilers, though.

So... I made a rope and I went up to the summit, to hang myself. I had to test it, you know? Of course. You know me. And the weight of the log, snapped the limb of the tree, so I-I - , I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power over nothing. And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive. Somehow. I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope. And all my logic said that I would never see this place again. So that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass... And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island. And I know what I have to do now. I gotta keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or five? Well, to tell the truth, in all the excitement, I kind of lost track myself. Now, seeing as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you gotta ask yourself one question. 'Do I feel lucky?'
Well do ya? PUNK?"
~Harry Callahan
Runner up:
"Go ahead, make my day..."
Not a movie, but here's another favourite (and my sig at STO):
"That's why you came to me, isn't it, Captain? Because you knew I could do those things that you weren't capable of doing? Well, it worked. And you'll get what you want: a war between the Romulans and the Dominion. And if your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you may have just saved the entire Alpha Quadrant. And all it cost was the life of one Romulan senator, one criminal, and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer. I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain."
~Garak (who has MANY really cool lines - and who was the killer in Dirty Harry, ironically)

That character was the only reason I made myself suffer through a few more episodes of DS9.
