What's your favorite?

For me it's gotta be Willy Wonka. "Wait. Stop. Don't" =)

 

[Keith Cobby]

Either the last line of The Professionals or Stand by Me.

 

[Tino]

Here’s looking at you kid.

I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

 

[Angelo Colombus]

Dr. Strangelove....Gentlemen! you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

@Sam Posten your quote is mostly in the delivery, rather than the line itself.

And why can't I quote you? The option isn't there, on your post only.

 

[Neil Middlemiss]

“Game over, man! Game over!”

 

[JohnRice]

so many to choose from, but off the top of my head, I'll go with...

"Lithium is no longer available on credit."

...name the movie.

 

[nara]

Don Siegel's "The Killers"...A dying Lee Marvin to Angie Dickinson before shooting her.

"Lady, I don't have the time".

"Woah... This is heavy." This thread I mean.

 

[JohnRice]

“Game over, man! Game over!”

I like his next line....

"Maybe we should put her in charge!"

Ah, another Buckaroo Banzai fan.

It's a limitation of the Movies forum because it wants us to now link to actual movies in the titles. It drives me batshit mad.

And agreed on Wonka. I think it's actually "Stop, don't. Come back" =)

I've always been partial to "We gotta nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" but I'll allow it.

 

[Neil Middlemiss]

“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”

Edited to correct the quote, which I cannot believe I messed up. I know this movie backwards and forwards and inside out! Need to rewatch the movie to make sure I don’t get another quote wrong again...ever

 

[Radioman970]

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" is another. I still remember welling up when he said that. empowered even. damn right THAT THING SHALL NOT FRIGGIN PASS!! lol

 

[Walter Kittel]

Hudson was eminently quotable in Aliens. A friend and I used to trade quotes from Aliens all the time at work.

Many to choose from. One that comes to mind is:

You're going to need a bigger boat.
