    Famous Movie Lines

    What do you think would be the most famous movie line of all time? If I asked you right now what are the first 3 to come into your mind what would they be and in what order did you think of them?

    Ill put mine in white so they don't pop into your head first.








    For me its:

    1) "Ill be back" from The Terminator

    2) "No, I am your father" from Star Wars

    3) Shaken. Not stirred from many a James Bond movie



    I know there are many others out there but off the top of my head those are first. While typing those "Willsssooonnn" came to mind from Castaway and "This is Sparta" from 300.

    Yours are good, but just to be different, and since you said most famous not favorite, I'll go:

    1. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn

    2. Here's lookin' at you, kid

    3. I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too

    Maybe top five famous ones (although no one will ever agree on something like this... And not sure how you can't have a line from The Godfather...)

    "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

    "Rosebud."

    "I coulda been a contender!"

    "You lookin at me?"

    "Toto, don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

    Favorite?

    "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this... And I'm all out of bubble gum."

    (Seriously with the filter, DBR?)


    Btw, anyone know how to highlight to reveal white words on an ipad? Doesn't seem to work for me.

    I copied and pasted it into the notebook. You could also reply with quote and scroll up to look at it.

    I had the same GWTW one as you. I picked one from Wizard of Oz, too, but a slightly different one. I think yours is better. There are so many quotes from Oz and GWTW and Casablanca, I'm not sure how to pick.

    My favorite is probably, "Yippee ki yay, m.... f...r"

    Don't forget The Godfather. You could do an entire list on any one of those four movies standing alone.



    As for me, here's a favorite line that I drop into conversation any time it dawns on me that a problem I'm facing or a task that I have to complete is much larger than originally anticipated:

    "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

    (Did you know that this line -- in the movie, it's actually You're gonna need a bigger boat" -- was an ad-lib?)

    Famous? I'm not sure. But here's a favorite:
    "All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."

    And looking forward to Christmas:
    "You'll shoot your eye out, kid."

    And, of course, "May the Schwartz be with you"

    I hear "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" and the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally a lot ("I'll have what she's having") referenced quite often.

    I always thought it was "What we have here is failure to communicate".

    My personal favorite famous line would have to be from Dirty Harry.

    "I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

    Along with "Go ahead make my day." from Sudden Impact.

    I went and listened to it and it is actually, "What we've got here is failure to communicate." So you're right - the "a" is not there, also it's got, not have.

    Caddyshack and Airplane are gold mines.

    I'll go with "it's in the hole!", and "Surely you can't be serious" respectively.

    Famous? Well, not like "Franklly my dear, I don't give a Damn", but a lot more fun.

    Watching carolina Go To HELL!
    This Oz's favorite movie line is one that was totally glossed over in the movie, but was prominent in the book. I have used it here in posts many times.

    What could have been, was.
    From the book, and movie Semi-Tough. It eliminates all the coulda's and shoulda's.
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

    Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!
