What Are Your Favourite Movie Quotes?

We’ve had a bunch of favourite movie type threads recently. So here’s another.

What are your top 5 (ish) movie quotes of all time? Quote the quote, and name the movie it’s from.

The Big Lebowski

That rug really tied the room together.

<It was either this or the Stranger’s iconic speech to camera at the end of the movie.>

Casablanca

Ilsa: You're saying this only to make me go.

Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

<So many lines in this one I was tempted to copy and paste the whole script. AND throw in the famous misquote.>

The Italian Job

You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

<also the punchline to one of my favourite jokes. And if you haven’t heard my Michael Caine impression… you’re lucky.>

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

How do you do? I see you’ve met my… faithful handyman.

<Is this the greatest entrance in movie history? It’s either this or the first time we see Vader.>

The Warriors

Warriors! Come out to play-ay!

<It’s a bad movie. But it’s a good bad movie, possibly a great bad movie. And this single line goes a long way to making it that.>


So what are some of yours? Yes, you! Here’s lookin’ at you, kid.

The Big Lebowski

That rug really tied the room together.

I also use that line from The Big Lebowski basically as punctuation. That, and the one about The Eagles.

I share your appreciation for Casablanca

I'm going to go with the five (or so) movie quotes I tend to work into conversation:

From Ghostbusters, "Dogs and cats living together - MASS HYSTERIA!" and "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!"

From Real Genius, "Was it the dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?...Why am I the only one who has that dream?" And "It's a moral imperative."

From Princess Bride, "Get some rest. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything" is basically my response to anyone I work woth saying they think they're getting sick.

From Blues Brothers, " I hate Illinois Nazis", "Use of unnecessary force has been approved", "We got both kinds. We got country AND western", and "New Oldsmobiles are in early this year/disco pants and haircuts/this place has everything." Actually, this one I could probably post the entire script.

From Christmas Story "Oh fffffffffffffudge!"
 

I think Jaws has 10 right there.

Starship Troopers might have been a meh movie, but I'd watch it again.
