Favorite Movie Line

17 years ago

IReport is asking for Your favorite movie lines, such as "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." "Here's looking at you, kid." "You can't handle the truth!".

What is your favorite line? One of my favorites is "Keep the change, you filthy animal" from Home Alone, which I guess came from some older movie.

Sort by:Oldest

Julie my friend was telling me on the Final Destination 3 DVD you can pick who dies or something like that. I haven't seen the third one yet, but I liked the first two. I watched Evil Dead again saturday night. That's a classic. The next movie I am awaiting to come to the theater is Spider-Man 3. I have seen one preview and it looked good. I'm glad that Sam Raimi was picked as the director. He has stuck close to the original story line. Which is something a lot of directors don't usually do. Also Bruce Campbell might have a more promonent role in this one as a villian. Since I'm on film adaptations I always thought it would be cool if the Dragonlance Chronicals (War of the Lance) were made into movies. Of course if it was me I would do 9 movies with the Meeting of the Sextet leading up to the War of the Lance. That would be asking a lot though, so I would settle for The Chronicals. oH someone could do The Legand of Huma, or just about any of the great DL books. Any other Dragonlance fans out there? Tim

The best line from a movie

Does anyone every find themselves quoting something that isn't a movie? I found myself saying, "Isn't. That. Amazing." in the most bored tone of voice I could muster. I knew it was a quote from somewhere, but couldn't recall from where. Finally it dawned on me that it was from the narration from Disneyland's Jungle Cruise. In addition to "Squirrel!" from Up, other Pixar quotes that have become household phrases for us are "Mine! Mine! Mine!" (the seagulls in Finding Nemo) and the "cone of shame" (also from Up). "No capes!" from the Incredibles also gets pulled out with fair regularity. And, oddly enough, "Curse you, Mr. Skipperdoooooooo!" a paraphrase from the "Adventures of Mr. Incredible" short that was included on the Incredibles DVD (here it is with commentary).

Favorite Summertime Movies You Love?
Q

I'm going to throw out one because I love Scotland. It's an oldie called, "I Know Where I'm Going" which is a precursor to another great one, "Local Hero." Another Scottish one, "Dear Frankie." Some others--Outsourced, Hector's Search for Happiness, The Whole Wide World, French Kiss, and of course, Dirty Dancing. I also liked the Addams Family Values movie, which has a fantastic summer camp parody. Since summer means road trips to me, some others are "The Electric Horseman" and "Smoke Signals" and "Harry and Tonto." And the all time "fun day" movie is "Roman Holiday." Maybe "Starman" for another road trip kind of movie. or how about "If It's Tuesday it Must Be Belgium" which is an oldie but a classic. I love old movies so YMMV. I suppose maybe "A River Runs Through It" but that one is sad. "The River Why" is a good scenery movie if you like fishing, but my SO thought it was boring. Apparently James Duncan, the author of the novel, didn't like it either and sued to have his name disassociated with it. The book is great if you like water and fish. Speaking of so so movies with good scenery, my dad loves "The Proposal." I think he has a mild crush on Sandra Bullock. Don't we all!

This is difficult to narrow down. Here goes: Book: "To Kill a Mockingbird". I read it at least once a year. Song: "Till There Was You" , Beatles. DH and I used to sing it to our babies. He would play it on the guitar and we would both sing. Maybe that's why they went to sleep so quickly-to escape our singing! Movie: Dr. Zhivago. On a snowy night DH and I went to see the movie and were only a handful of those who braved the storm to see it. It was in an old theater with the red velvet drapes around the screen. It was a very romantic, memorable date night! History behind Dr. Zhivago

Mine is "Fasten your seatbelts; it's going to be a bumpy night" from Bette Davis in "All About Eve". Also, "Mama! Mama! I didn't mean it, Mama!" from Susan Kohner in the 1959 version of "Imitation of Life". That same Susan Kohner married fashion designer John Weitz (I always think of shoes).

"BADGES???? We don't need no stinking badges!!!" and
"Mongo only pawn in game of life" from Blazing Saddles

"IT..... COULD..... WORK!!!" and

"I tell ya what's on my mind. It's butt cold out here and I'm fresh outta beer!" and
"The only things in this life you really regret are the risks you don't take." (Now how true is that!) from Grumpy Old Men

OH, one more... "Work, work, work. Work, work, work. Work, work, work. Hello boys, have a good night's rest, I missed you!" So sad he didn't get a "harumph outta that guy!

There's more from different movies but many of these I use quite often.

The line used twice in "Contact" starring Jodi Foster, once in the beginning and again at the end. When asked if there is life in space, "If not, it's an awfully big waste of space." In the beginning, the father says it to the daughter. In the end, the grown up daughter says it to school kids on a tour.
