Ok -- Fridays are our family popcorn/movie -- and tonight we pulled out an oldie but goodie, The Emperor's New Groove (yes, I have younger kids). But out of ALL the movie's I've ever seen, and that's a lot - this one has to have my very favorite 1-liner. It's Eartha Kitt (Yzma) talking when they are supposed to kill Kuzco. They screw up and turn him into a llama. She simply says "A llama?! He's supposed to be DEAD!" I die laughing every time. So on this Friday night - what's your favorite movie 1-liner?

There is an old Richard Pryor movie called Moving. The whole thing is hilarious.

Well, he's helping some lady lift a box and they start talking about working out. She says "no pain no gain"

RP says "I have a different motto: No pain. Sounds good to me!"

hahahaha!!
 
okay, it's from "the departed" which is not really a funny (but great) movie. anyway, mark wahlberg's character is sitting at a desk working and one of the "big shots" comes in. he asks mark who he is. mark says, "i'm the guy that's doing my job. you must be the other guy." bwahahahahahahahaha!
 
We love movies too, including the Emperor's New Groove (He's not as dead as we woulda hoped...) Two favorite movies off the top of my head:

Casablanca:

Rick(Bogie): I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Renault (Claude Rains): Waters? What waters? Casablanca's in the desert.
Rick: I was misinformed

Ugarte(Peter Lorre): You do despise me, don't you Rick?
Rick: I probably would if I gave you any thought.


Monty Python and the Holy Grail: (various speakers and scenes)

-Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

-Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

'tis but a flesh wound.

Chocolate IS the answer, regardless of the question.
 
Well, my favorite lines are on my signature below. Then there's....

"Whatsa happenin' Hot Stuff?" Long Duk Dong from Sixteen Candles

"Right turn Clyde" Philo Beddoe from Every Which Way but Loose

"It's true. My surprises, they are rarely unexpected." Inspector Clouseau from the Pink Panther

"Snap out of it!" Loretta Castorini in Moonstruck

And of course.... "This here's a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and it can blow your head clean off. Now, you must ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well do you, punk?"

Fun thread....and you all know how truly weird I am.
 
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"....Clark Gable in Gone With the Wind my all time favorite movie and all time favorite actor.
 
So hard not to list a ton.

From Better off Dead: "Gee, I'm really sorry your mom blew up, Ricky, guess she won't be able to eat any spicy foods for awhile." and "I want my two dollars!"

From The Princess Bride:

Inigo Montoya: That Vizzini, he can *fuss*.
Fezzik: Fuss, fuss... I think he like to scream at *us*.
Inigo Montoya: Probably he means no *harm*.
Fezzik: He's really very short on *charm*.
Inigo Montoya: You have a great gift for rhyme.
Fezzik: Yes, yes, some of the time.
Vizzini: Enough of that.
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, are there rocks ahead?
Fezzik: If there are, we all be dead.
Vizzini: No more rhyming now, I mean it.
Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut?
Vizzini: DYEEAAHHHHHH.

and:
Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

and "As you wish."

I could go on with more from The Princess Bride or various Monty Python flicks but I'll stop now (and think about the fact that all I keep thinking of are 70's and 80's movies).

"...you can't handle the truth!"

"Luke, I am your father"

And, of coarse.....the one that makes me laugh every single time
"I like to move it MOVE IT!"

Okay, can anyone tell me what movie this is from?

Said with a heavy Spanish accent, "And you smell of exotic perfume, not ship oil."
"Ship oil? You mean the oils from boats?" Said with a cool Boston accent
"Nooo, ship oil from the ships in the field."
"What ships in the field?"
"You have never heard of the ships in the field, the little baa baa baas?"
 
OMGosh, I could list a ton from "Christmas Vacation"...


"Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now."


"Can I refill your eggnog for ya? Get ya something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere..leave you for dead?"
 
This is a fun thread!!

Whenever I'm hungry, I quote Sixteen Candles' Long Duk Dong...

"Donger needs Food!"


Also, I think somebody else mentioned the "Two Dollars" quote from the crazy paperboy in "Better off Dead". I love that one too!

From The Red Green Show:

Park Ranger: "A porcupine can't throw its quills, but a bear can throw a porcupine."

--and--

From Robin Hood: Men in Tights: "Choked on the goldfish"

I'm with Nancy here -- I think "When Harry Met Sally" is really one of the funniest movies of all time, and I LOVE that line "I'll have what she's having." http://bestsmileys.com/lol/5.gif

Other favorites of mine:

"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow." Lauren Bacall says this to Humphrey Bogart in "To Have and Have Not", made in the mid 1940's when she was only about 19 and just impossibly beautiful. It was their first film together.

"If you build it, he will come." From "Field of Dreams" which for many reasons is my all-time, hands-down favorite movie.

"I'll be back" -- AHHHHHHHHNold! :) I used this line often with my kids when they were younger and it cracked them up.

"Houston, we have a problem." From "Apollo 13", and also a line that my family still uses a lot. ;-) We say this kinda generally instead of "Uh-oh!"

Ooh, I forgot to think about all the great classic films. I do love that quote. There are lots of great quotes in The Big Sleep as well. The sexual innuendo is kind of shocking for 1946. :) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038355/quotes

I love Bogey--had a life-size poster of him in my room when I was a pre-teen and teen when my friends had Top Gun posters or (later) New Kids on the Block pictures. Top Gun had some decent quotes, too, though.

Also, I'm another one who loves When Harry Met Sally--especially since the night my DH first kissed me (4/4/98) we had just finished watching that on video.

Not a movie but TV.....Leave It To Beaver.

Beaver has been assigned as fire marshall at school and he starts bugging everyone in and out of school about their lack of safety.

He sees that Wally has been washing his car and is in the process of vacuuming it out so he pulls the plug. Wally gets mad and tells Beaver that he can vacuum his car while it's wet if he wants to......it's a free country.

Beaver replies "You're not going to get hurt while I'm the fire marshall and make it look like I'm doing a crummy job."
