List your favorite movie quotes from your favorite actors and the movie they said it in.
Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty apes.
Charlton Heston in "Planet of the Apes".
"It's snow! This whole hill is snow! It's got to be worth a fortune!!"
It's not that I can't help these people, it's just that I don't want to.
Tom Hanks, Volunteers
In a discussion of two military superiors "A**hole to a**hole they couldn't make a beer fart in a whirlwind." C. Eastwood
Sonja: (played by Diane Keaton) "Judgment of any system, or a prior relationship or phenomenon exists in an irrational, or metaphysical, or at least epistemological contradiction to an abstract empirical concept such as being, or to be, or to occur in the thing itself, or of the thing itself."
Boris: (Allen) "Yes, I've said that many times."

Boris: And so I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Actually, make that "I run through the valley of the shadow of death" -- in order to get OUT of the valley of the shadow of death more quickly, you see.

Boris: Isn't all mankind ultimately executed for a crime it never committed? The difference is that all men go eventually, but I go six o'clock tomorrow morning. I was supposed to go at five o'clock, but I have a smart lawyer. Got leniency!
"Because they stand on a wall and say 'Nothing's gonna hurt you tonight. Not on my watch.'"
-Steve Martin from The Jerk
City Heat, Burt Reynolds to Jane Alexander: "Take a lettersomewhere."

Here's a good one to use on the parasitical elite: Don't p*ss down my back and tell me its rainin'
Val Kilmer to bikini clad 'student': "Don't eat that, don't you know that eating that stuff can give you very large breasts.....(looks down)..... oh, God, I'm too late."
Another great line from the same movie (and one that I once used!)" Now if we can just keep it from exploding!!!"

Anyway - Bowie plays the bad guy, and has captured the girl who keeps telling him "Thats not fair". Bowie's response is my favorite line:
"You are always complaining that it isn't fair. I wonder what your basis for comparison is?"
Actually, Legend was the Tom Cruise/Tim Currey movie. The one you're thinking of was Laberynth (sp?), with David Bowie & Jennifer Conelley. It was done by Jim Henson, and really is a terrific movie!

I prefer his earlier, less "cerebral" movies. Although they didn't have anywhere near the memorable lines, who can forget the following scenes:
Woody playing the cello in a marching band, or arguing with bank employees over what his hold-up note says in "Take the Money and Run."
Woody trying to order lunch for the revolutionaries in "Bananas."
Pretty much the entire movie, "Sleeper!"

"Richard, you couldn't account for yourself even-so-far as tonight!"
"Thomas, your a plodder! All right, we'll plod."
"I am the kings good servant. But God's first."
The Man in The Grey Flannel Suit.
