What is your Nomination for the most Memorable Movie Lines (Dialouge) ever?

There are some real classics and there are some Classic Misnomers ("Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn." comes to mind as one of the misnomers!)

List your favorites and lets see what tickles the fancy of Freepers who enjoy a Good (or Bad) Movie!

[Skywalk]

Oh, I know the truth about Vietnam. However, I prefer to look at it as a tribute to those that were from small towns, the country, or "inner cities."

[WVNan]

The most memorable "of all time" still has to be, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." Rhett to Scarlet in Gone With the Wind. It created a montrous stir amongst genteel Americans and broke the language barrier in movies for all time. (not for the good I might add)

From True Grit, on the subject of Alcohol, Kim Darby:

"It is a thief in your mouth to steal your brain!"

Conclusion I took from that, all DemoRats are obviously drunks! :)

[Skywalk]

I think I disagree. While there is certainly some unnecessary use of foul language, I also know that if I just got shot, I'm not going to be saying "DARN!" unless my character is not supposed to curse as part of his personality.

Grunts in Vietnam weren't saying "Golly!," either. Yes it could be better, but I prefer more realistic depicition of humans. Art doesn't have to exactly mirror life, but for some types of film, it should. And in all honesty, some lines are lent more power with a profanity here or there.

It's like the portrayal of violence. TV is worse, because it doesn't really show(Except maybe NYPD Blue) the consequences of a gunshot wound. In the old days they'd have a gun go off, and the guy would just grab his ribcage. Now you see what really happens, and I've NEVER been desensitized. I still startle or feel ill or sad when I see violence realistically and respectfully portrayed in film.

Hmmm... does that mean Robin Williams in next?

King Henry V :
My cousin Westmoreland? No my fair cousin:
If we are marked to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honor.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honor,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No. faith, my coz, wish not a man from England:
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honor
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which has no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian:
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors,
And say 'Tomorrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve andf show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words,
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered;
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Henry V Act 4 Scene 3

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Let my armies be the rocks and
    the trees and the birds in the sky.
                                           —Charlemagne

[LibKill]

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:

The bard understood brothers in arms.

[Aurelius]

I think it is "I was a teenage werewolf" that has the following line: "Let's not spread any false rumors until we know all of the facts."

Then there is one of the 30's mummy movies, in which a young woman, in Cairo, faints and when she revives she starts to speak in an unfamiliar tongue. Everyone asks: "What's that language she's speaking?" The wise old professor says: "That's ancient Egyptian, a language that hasn't been heard on the face of the earth in 2000 years."

"I'll be your huckleberry."

Tombstone, by Doc Holiday (Val Kilmer)

[nicmarlo]

"Keep the change, you filthy animal."

Home Alone (but it's actually a clip from a black and white movie within Home Alone--I don't know the name of that black and white movie.)

[Aurelius]

Tombstone was a really great flick and Kilmer's role was wonderful. The Kevin Costner movie was not nearly as good, although the guy who played Doc Holiday in that movie certainly looked a lot more tubercular than Kilmer.

[nicmarlo]

Tombstone was a really great flick and Kilmer's role was wonderful.

I agree. I don't much like buying movies (unless they're the scary ones--I can watch those over and over); but Tombstone is so great, I had to have it. I've rewatched it several times, never tiring of it. Val Kilmer was awesome and had some of the greatest lines in that movie.

[Joshua]

That was a great part of the movie. That scene with them sitting around the table talking was one of my favorites.

[fnord]

Breaker Morant - love that movie!
