What is your favorite line from a movie?

Asked by awomanscorned (11261points) October 20th, 2010

Sometimes when my mom and I are bored, we just say lines from movies and try to guess which movie it’s from. I know. We’re that cool.

@AstroChuck just shared this from the Fantastic Mr. Fox: Redemption? Sure. But in the end, he’s just another dead rat in a garbage pail behind a Chinese restaurant.

I have too many to quote, but one I am thinking of now comes from Clue.

“You think thats air you’re breathing.” – The Matrix

Other ones come up in context, but this one helps keep me skeptical.

Interesting side note: in various translations, sometimes our favorite lines get completely destroyed. As far as I know, in the Tamil version of the matrix, that line isn’t in there (which makes me weep).

A monologue from Brad Pitt in Fight Club:

“In the world I see – you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You’ll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You’ll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you’ll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway… Feel better, Champ.”

Where do you think you’re going? Nobody’s leaving. Nobody’s walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We’re all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We’re gonna press on, and we’re gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse. – Christmas Vacation

@noelleptc Since many of my answers and those of other current users are already stated on the earlier entries, I think they should not be discounted, and I have trouble with new people expecting me to simply type my same answers over and over again.

@noelleptc One of the advantages of these sites is that the answers we give at any given time are available to all future users as well. My efforts are to keep these previous answers tied in to the current questions as well. It’s not about me, specifically, but about the availability of all users to be in contact with all other users.

Okay, here’s the story. I come from the gutter. I know that. I got no education… But that’s okay. I know the street, and I’m making all the right connections. With the right woman, there’s no stopping me. I could go right to the top. Anyway… What I got to tell you is this: I like you. I liked you the first time I laid eyes on you. – Tony Montana (Scarface)
