Always look on the bright side of life.

Love the whole Romans Go Home scene. Very accurate about Latin lessons.

CENTURION: 'Go home'? This is motion towards. Isn't it, boy?

BRIAN: Ah. Ah, dative, sir! (Centurion wordlessly puts his sword to Brian’s throat.) Ahh! No, not dative! Not the dative, sir! No! Ah! Oh, the... accusative! Accusative! Ah! 'Domum', sir! 'Ad domum'! Ah! Oooh! Ah!

CENTURION: Except that 'domus' takes the...?

BRIAN: The locative, sir!

CENTURION: Which is...?!

BRIAN: 'Domum'.

CENTURION: 'Domum'.

BRIAN: Aaah! Ah.

CENTURION: 'Um'. Understand?

BRIAN: Yes, sir.

CENTURION: Now, write it out a hundred times.

I'm extremely late to this thread. I've done a search and got no results, so hopefully this one hasn't come up already.

Here's my favorite quote from my favorite movie, Good Morning Vietnam:

Excuse me, sir? Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? Cos if it leaks to the VC, he could end up an MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP.

- Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams)

I actually used that once as a monologue in my drama class in college.

Here's the full scene.

Other favorites of mine:

"Just keep swimming."
- Dory, Finding Nemo

"My mama always said life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
- Forrest Gump (said in a thick Southern drawl)

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"
- President Muffley, Dr Strangelove

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave."
- HAL, 2001: A Space Odyssey

I had to take Latin in high school, and during my freshman year, our teacher played us this scene. Classic!

Altered slightly from its original form: “Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, or something.”

I’ve said it a few times and people laugh every time.
