>>That's one of only two movies to actually make me feel nauseous <<
I watched it in a lecture hall at Cleveland State University in a film class.
Nothing like being in an Urban College to see it. I was totally ashamed to be white
"This man hates CANS! Stay away from the CANS!"
Hey!!!!
I knew this thread was meant for you!
"Get away from her you bitch!" ...Ripley.
That was the grossest movie. Especially the end. And then there is always Edie the egg lady.

"That is the thing dreams are made of."
I’m assuming that this is the Bogart line from Maltese Falcon, but I remember it differently:
Cop to Bogart (referring to Maltese Falcon): “What’s that?”
Bogart to copy: “The stuff that dreams are made of.”
One of the greatest lines in one of the greatest movies ever made.

"Of all the gin joints . . . "
Which is Bogart to either Sam, talking about Ilsa, or directly to Ilsa, in Casablanca, also one of the greatest (you have good tastes, Ben).
TalonDJ sited:
"You shot him in the back!"
"His back was to me."
This is from “El Diablo” – really good HBO movie, and this exchange is between Anthony Edwards and Louis Gossett Jr. I think they said it once to each other at different points in the movie.

Clint: "Go ahead, make my day".
Which is from Sudden Impact, the last and least satisfying of the Dirty Harry movies (mostly because of Sondra Locke and the sicko plot, I think dreamed up by her). I’ve always argued that this was meant to be ironic, not encouraging. Harry Callahan had been having a REALLY BAD DAY and having to shoot someone and go through all the hassles involved in that would be a fitting, but bad, capper to the day. He didn’t want to shoot the creep. If he did he would have just shot him.

"That's not a knife. THIS is a knife".
Which is from the original Crocodile Dundee.

"We got ourselves a motherloving navy war"
Which is from In Harms Way and was said by Kirk Douglas to John Wayne. Great war movie. I suggested to George Takei once that he try to sell this as a plot for one of the Star Trek movies.

"Never apologize, mister. It's a sign of weakness"
I know lots of movies and movie lines, but I had to look this one up. It’s from She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and was said by John Wayne to a young cavalry trooper.

The biggest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world he didnt exist
Which is Kevin Spacy, The Usual Suspects. I know this is a great movie, it just never appealed to me.
Sartorius posted:
"He ain't heavy, Father, he's my brother!"
==Boys Town, Spencer Tracy.
My only quibble is that it was said to Spencer Tracy’s Father Flannagen, while this implies he said it. As I understand it this is a real quote from a real boys town resident in the early days and is the motto on a statue at the school.
I’m going to stop now, except for one more comment:
"Rosebud" Citizen Kane
The main thing for me about this is finding out what the real “Rosebud” was in the real life of William Randolph Hearst, the real life and only thinly disguised model for Citizen Kane. I won’t tell you (it would get my post pulled) but it referred to a part of Marion Davies anatomy. Found that out in the great HBO movie RKO 281. Welles was determined to include the reference, however disguised, in the movie, so that all who knew that little vulgarity would know that he knew, including Hearst.
Clap clap clap! You get extra points for getting the Mr.Roberts line. :O)
Deckard: "It's artificial?"
"Of course it is."
"Must be expensive."
Very, I'm Rachael."
"Deckard"
"It seems you feel our work is a not benefit to the public."
"Replicants are like any other machine, they're either a benefit or a hazard, if they're a benefit its not my problem."
"May I ask you a personal question?
"...sure"
"Have you ever retired a human by mistake?
"...no"
"but, in your position, that is a risk."
Tyrrell (interjecting): "Is this to be an empathy test? Capillary dialation of the so-called 'blush response'...fluctuation of the pupil...involuntary dialation of the iris."
Deckard: "We call it Voight-Kampf for short."
Rachael: "Mr. Deckard, Dr. Eldon Tyrrell"
Tyrrell: "Demonstrate it, I want to see it work."
Where's the subject?"
"I want to see it work on a person, I want to see a negative before I provide you with a positive."
"What's that going to prove?"
"Indulge me"
"On you?"
"No, try her".
"Do you realize that I work at home?....uh,uh. Well I work all of the time. So never, never, interrupt me. Do you enjoy being interrupted when you're nancing around in your little apartment? Well I work all the time, so never,never interrupt me. Not if there is a fire. Not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my apartment, and one week later there is a smell coming from my home that is so thick that you have to hold a hankie to your face, because the stench is so thick that you think you're gonna faint. Even then.... Don't come knocking. ..Or if it's election night and you're excited and you want to celebrate because some fudgepacker that you date got elected the first queer president of the United States, and he'a going to have you down to Camp David,.....and you want someone to share the moment....Even then don't knock....not on this door.....not for any reason......Do you get me sweetheart............................Melvin Udall.......
"Where did they teach you to speak like this? In some Panama City sailor wanna hump-hump bar,... or is getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else,...we're all stocked up here.

can't stop laughing ...
"Next...we'll give it shot of hair tonic for aging. It has a coal-tar base. That'll age the daylights out of it."

"You just shot an unarmed man!"
"Shoulda armed himself"
>>(the other being Pink Flamingoes).<<
I had to go to IMDB to see what that was.
Oh barf.
"Chief, you're gonna need a bigger boat."
"No, Luke, I am your father."
"I'll be your huckleberry."
You beat me to it...I was hoping someone would post the Repo Man classic "let's go eat sushi and not pay"
Isn't that the point?
If you saw the movie, you'll know.
If you didn't, explaining the context still falls short.
True. But people like me for my epididymis.
