Neil and Eric,

-Caddyshack-
Carl Spackler: This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story outta nowhere. Former greenskeeper and now about to become the masters champion.
-
Carl Spackler: Wait up, girls; I got a salami I gotta hide still.
-
Lacey Underall: My uncle says you've got a screw loose.
Ty Webb: Your uncle molests collies.

[Chuck Mayer]

I have a Man on Fire quote or two as well. I love the delivery in that one.


I could list more, because the combination of the dialogue and Denzel's rich, purposeful voice make so many of them magic. But those'll do.

john listed a bunch I liked. But I expected that he would

 

[James@R]

My favorite Man On Fire line isn't even delivered by Denzel.

Rayburn: What were you shooting at, Crease?

 

[Lou Sytsma]

Go ahead. Make my day.

 

[ChristopherG]

From The Patriot:

Benjamin Martin: "I have long feared that my sins would return to visit me, and the cost would be more than I could bear."

From Oh Brother Where Art Thou: (Which is a treasure trove of quotes)

Ulysses Everett McGill: "Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart."

 

[rich_d]

All-Time Favorite?

That's easy.

Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown

Sorry, but I've forgotten the name of the film.

 

[Tim Glover]

Some great quotes for sure. I've got some more to list that haven't been mentioned:

Perhaps the greatest quote ever from a Bond film:
Goldfinger
Bond: "Do you expect me to talk?"
Goldfinger: "No, Mr. Bond...I expect you to DIE!"
GREATNESS...

From Timobi's #1 film of ALL TIME:
The Empire Strikes Back
Leah: "I Love You!"
Han: "I know"
True Greatness.

Last one for now...
Animal House
"Face it, You F___ED up...You trusted us"
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!?"

Much more to come later...

 

[Josh.C]

Nice TS quote earlier Chuck. One of the most genuine and sincere scenes of the entire movie, and one of my favorite parts as well.

I just don't feel right having an all time greatest quotes page without the most heavily quoted movie of my college life.

-Monty Python and the Holy Grail-
-
Villager: She turned me into a newt.
Sir Bedevere: A newt?
Villager: [After looking at himself for some time.] I got better.
-
French Soldier: Ah don' wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
Sir Galahad: Well, is there someone else up there we could talk to?
French Soldier: No! Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
-
Dennis: You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
King Arthur: Shut up!
Dennis: I mean, if I went around saying I was an Emperor because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

The entire movie is one giant quotable line or phrase.

JC

 

[Stephen_L]

Josh, excellent quotes, but for my money the whole movie is one excellent quote. My fiance and I have entire conversations using nothing but Grail quotes.

Run away
Bring out your dead
Its just a flesh wound
Ie Jesu domine, donna eas requiem. . . WHAP
What manner of man are you that can summon fire without flint or tinder?
Ni!
Message for you, sir

 

[John Doran]

ok, i apologize for the length of this, but i had to post it as one of the greatest, most well-written scenes with of all time:

Arthur: Old woman!

Dennis: Man!

Arthur: Man, sorry... What knight lives in that castle over there?

Dennis: I'm 37!

Arthur: What?

Dennis: I'm 37, I'm not old!

Arthur: Well I can't just call you "Man"...

Dennis: You could say "Dennis"...

Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.

Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out, did you?

Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked...

Dennis: (interrupting) What I object to is your automatically treatin' me like an inferior!

Arthur: Well I AM king...

Dennis: Oh, King, eh? Oh, very nice... And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic an' social differences in our society! If there's ever gonna be any progress in our society...

Woman: Denny, there's some lovely filth down here!
[Noticing Arthur] Oh! How d'you do?

Arthur: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that?

Woman: King of the who?

Arthur: The Britons.

Woman: Who are the Britons?

Arthur: Well we all are... We are all Britons... And I am your king.

Woman: I didn't know we had a king... I thought we were an autonomous collective.

Dennis: You're foolin' yourself. We're livin' in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuatin' autocracy in which the working classes...

Woman: (interrupting) Oh there you go, bringing class into it again...

Dennis: That's what it's all about! If only people would...

Arthur: Please, please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?

Woman: No one lives there.

Arthur: Then who is your lord?

Woman: We don't have a lord.

Arthur: What?

Dennis: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to sort of act as a sort of executive officer for the week.

Arthur: Yes.

Dennis: But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting...

Arthur: Yes I see.

Dennis: ...by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs...

Arthur: Be quiet!

Dennis: But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major...

Arthur: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

Woman: Order, eh? Who does he think he is?

Arthur: I am your king!

Woman: Well I didn't vote for you!

Arthur: You don't vote for kings.

Woman: Well how'd you become king then?

[Angelic music plays...]

Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king!

Dennis: (interrupting) Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcicial aquatic ceremony!

Arthur: Be quiet!

Dennis: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Arthur: SHUT UP!

Dennis: I mean, if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Arthur: SHUT UP! WILL YOU SHUT UP! [Grabs Dennis]

Dennis: Ah! Now we see the violence inherent in the system!

Arthur: SHUT UP!

Dennis: Oh, come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

Arthur: (muttering) Bloody peasant!

Dennis: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressin' me? You saw it, didn't you?

Lone Star
Chucho Montoya: You're the sheriff of Rio County, right? Un jefe mui respectado.
[drawing a line in the sand]
Chucho Montoya: Step across this line. You're not the sheriff of nothing anymore, just some tejano with a lot of questions I don't have to answer. A bird flying south, you think he sees this line? Rattlesnake? Javelina? Whatever you got. You think halfway across that line they start thinking different? Why should a man?
Sheriff Sam Deeds: Your government's always been pretty happy to have that line, the question's just been where to draw it.
Chucho Montoya: My government can go fuck itself, and so can yours! I'm talking about people here. Men.

Pilar: All that other stuff, all that history? To hell with it, right? Forget the Alamo.
