What Are Your Favourite Movie Quotes?

[Sacrosanct]

"You just shot an unarmed man!"
"Well, he should have armed himself before decorating his saloon with my friend."

 

[Raunalyn]

A little more morbid, but still fantastic quotes, both from the same movie.

"Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children."
"Childhood ends the moment you know you're gonna die."

-The Crow

 

[Eyes of Nine]

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

Speaking of Monty Python, one of my favorite movies is Brazil. (Directed by Terry Gilliam) And it has so many good quotes, a couple to share:

"My complication had a little complication"
"I'm a bit of a stickler for the paperwork"

And not speaking of the Monkees, another favorite movie is Repo Man. (Produced by Mike Nesmith).

"Find one in every car. You'll see."
"Otto, like auto parts?"
"That's bull$i.., You're a rich suburban punk, just like me."
"The more you drive, the less intelligent you are."
"Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead."
"Let's do some crimes. Let's order sushi and not pay."
And finally, the best line
"Life of a repo man is always intense."

One of many reasons this is my favorite movie is that it ends with a great quote with a positive message: “You’re the weak and I’m the tyranny of evil men.”

See and raise, @Richards:

Caesar: hnnnn. NO!
One of the sequels to the prequels.

Doc Holliday: "I'm your huckleberry."

---

Wanda Maximoff: "You took everything from me."
Thanos: "I don't even know who you are."
Wanda: "You will."

Seriously, in a franchise that has all three of the good Hannibals Lecter... how is the third Olsen sister the most terrifying performance? Elizabeth Olsen radiates menace in a way most onscreen heels only wish they could.

I'm going to cheat. Twice.

Darth Vader: "I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker... I did."

Suddenly, Obi-Wan wasn't  lying when he said Darth Vader murdered Luke's father. "From a certain point of view" isn't the equivocation of a manipulative old man. He isn't trying to trick Luke into killing his own father.

Anakin Skywalker died when Palpatine told him that Darth Vader had murdered his wife and unborn child. Obi-Wan told Luke the truth... as both he and Anakin understood it, and the way Anakin would have wanted his son to understand it.

Darth Vader could have never known that Anakin Skywalker would refuse to stay dead when his own murdered son went digging for him.

Same note: Darth Maul... a clone of the canonically very dead Sith Lord... has challenged the "false Sith" Vader to a duel for the right to be Sidious' apprentice.

Maul taunts and goads Vader about being a failed Jedi--not a successful Sith--and a machine that lacked true conviction. Maul defeated Vader and moved in for the kill... overconfidently... and Vader landed the killing blow by igniting his own lightsaber through his torso.

Maul: dying "... but... you're just a machine. What could you possibly hate enough to destroy me?"
Vader: "myself."
