I'll start it off in no certain order:
"Here's looking at you kid." Casablanca
"Make my day". Dirty Harry
"You had me at hello." Jerry Mcquire
"You make me complete." Jerry Mcguire
"We were on a break!" Friends
"Norm!" Cheers
"To the moon, Alice." The Honeymooners
Swayze’s best moment was the “Chippendale” sketch for SNL with Chris Farley.
Two talents gone way ahead of their time.
Good one.
“Just a bit outside.” - Major League
I think I vaguely remember that, and remember it as hilarious. I’ll have to see if I can find it on you tube or something.
I watched a bio thingy about Chris Farley the other day. I was never a big fan, but it made me sad he died so soon. He had a great family and all, but well, his eyes were bigger than his stomach in a not good way, let’s just say that. It was funny how he took the name of a priest he knew for one of his characters and then everyone is saying to father “hey, are you that guy?”
Belushi too, what a waste and John Candy, whom I just loved, it’s very sad they all died so young.
Great line, but is not really part of the American vocabulary. There are many wonderful lines in countless movies, but this thread is about memorable and repeatable one line phrases that have become part of the American culture that most generations recognize. Still, you get an A for that memorable line in that movie.
“OMG most underrated movie ever.”
What movie is it?
And "Would you believe...?"
“Get out of my yard.” Clint Eastwood-Gran Torino
“Daddy would have gotten us Uzis!” -Night of the Comet
“Oh Lordy, Is this the end of Rico?”
“For a moment I though we were in real trouble!”-Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
“The pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pestle.
The Chalice from the palace is the brew that is true!”
(later)
Griselda: “Right. But there’s been a change. They broke the chalice from the palace, And replaced it with a flagon, With the figure of a dragon.
The pellet with the poison’s in the flagon with the dragon! The
vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!”
OH MY BRAIN IS STRAINED!-ME
Yes, that has been used and abused since back when. I'll accept that one, not that I'm the end all of historic media phrases. Still, ""In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"
Red Dawn (1984)
“Don’t Mention the War.” - Fawlty Towers
That one was actually just a response to someone else’s quote. Besides, I’ve heard man comedians incorporate that line into their routines. I’ll agree that it is probably not as well known as the other famous lines from “Gone With the Wind”.
Is there a single person in America that doesn't know that line?
Another from Swayze...”I want you to be nice until it’s time to not be nice” (Roadhouse)
Forgot to add, The pellet with the poison skit is from THE COURT JESTER with Danny Kaye.
It ain’t over ‘til the fat lady sings.(Taken from, “The opera ain’t over until the fat lady sings.” by sportscaster Dan Cook from San Antonio.
"Say hello to my little friend!"
"Don't get high on your own supply"
It’s still a good one! Use it all the time with the “birthin’ no babies” changed to fit the circumstance. “I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout no computer speak” Great movie. First time it was seen Clark Gable was in hospital, a soon to be new Dad. He never walked out of the building. I cried. He might have been a rogue, a reprobate but to a young teen, he was only a big star in a movie classic.
