He married, out of love, a woman out of legend. Not in Alexandria or Rome or Camelot has there been such a queen.

He came down from the north with a mind like Aristotle's and a form like mortal sin. We broke the Commandments on the spot.

Eleanor: We're jungle creatures, Henry, and the dark is all around us. See them? In the corners, you can see the eyes.

and just last Christmas Day it came to me with a blinding flash when my 13 y/o nephew was quoting that scene outside the French castle...

"...English Knnnnnnnigggghhhhttttts"!

I slapped my forehead and shouted "THAT'S IT!!!" Everyone looked at me, baffled- "'Kenniggetts' is Python French for Knights!" No one else around had realized it before, either...

Monty Python- the writing that keeps on giving!

:rofl:

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

63. Yup - nothing beats that

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Monty_Python_and_the_Holy_Grail


BTW, some Python news I recently came across. The offical release of "Hastily Put Together for a Fast Buck"* (plus 20-odd new minutes) which was due out last December, has been put off until the end of the year. However, according to a guy who's in touch with Andre Jacquemin "apparently all the albums are going to be re-released and re-mastered and they will all contain extra never seen before material."

"Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter."

"Well, I have all your equipment in my locker. You should probably come get it cause I can't fit my numchucks in there anymore."

"You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff."

" I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to."

"Just tell them that their wildest dreams will come true if they vote for you."

"Tina, come get some ham."

MKJ

[2bfree]

65. My favorite line from ND is....

When the couple are listening to the presentation for the plastic dishes the wife spies the free gift (a model of a ship) and says "I want that". Cracks me up every time!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

68. ROFLMAO..oh, yeah that glint of desire for the most useless item possible

I really :loveya: that movie. MKJ

edited to add...it's more a dialog than a quote, but this was a terrific scene, early in the movie, that was key in setting the tone and developing Napoleon's character.

And, BTW, it's funny as hell...:rofl:

Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?

I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!

Did you shoot any?

Yes, like 50 of 'em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?

79. Repo Man

Otto: Lobotomy? Isn't that for loonies?
Parnell: Not at all. Friend of mine had one. Designer of the neutron bomb. You ever hear of the neutron bomb? Destroys people - leaves buildings standing. Fits in a suitcase. It's so small, no one knows it's there until - BLAMMO. Eyes melt, skin explodes, everybody dead. So immoral, working on the thing can drive you mad. That's what happened to this friend of mine. So he had a lobotomy. Now he's well again.

[Hardrada]

80. The Producers

(Original one is my favorite)


If you've got it, flaunt it!

Lieben lieben what is this lieben, I lieb you, baby.


I'm the conci-urge.

[swag]

83. Can't pick one.

The ones quoted most around here most are

Andy Warhol's Bad
Female Trouble
Goodfellas
Blue Velvet
Mildred Pierce
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Alice Doesn't Live Here Any More

Oh, those are the ones off the top of my head.

[MrSlayer]

84. Pulp Fiction is extremely quoteable.

As are Jaws, Star Wars, Slap Shot, Goodfellas and Blazing Saddles.

[Cathyclysmic]

85. I don't mean to bring down the testosterone level of this thread...

but The Birdcage is the movie I quote from the most.

[American liberal]

86. The Terminator is an easy one for me

"I'll be back."

"Come with me if you want to live."

And, my personal favorite... "You're terminated, fucker!"

[JVS]

88. On this very night, ten years ago, along this very stretch of road...

in a dense fog just like this. I saw the worst accident I ever seen. There was this sound, like a garbage truck dropped off the Empire State Building... And when they pulled the driver's body from the twisted, burning wreck. It looked like this...

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

90. Pee Wee's Big Adventure?

[JVS]

91. Yup

[Crazy Guggenheim]

92. "You and the land are one."

:popcorn:

[sarge43]

[Crazy Guggenheim]

94. Wall Street.

" What about it? You work hard. I'll
bet you stayed up all night
analyzing that dog you bought. And
where'd it get you?... my father
worked hard too like an elephant
pushing electrical supplies. And he
dropped dead at 49 with a heart
attack and a tax bill and the bank
pissed on his grave and took the
house; my mom ended up working in a
dish factory... Wake up pal, if
you're not inside you're outside.
And I'm not talking a $200,000 a
year working Wall Street stiff
flying first class and being
"comfortable", I'm talking rich
pal, rich enough to fly in your own
jet, rich enough not to waste time,
50-100 million, a player Bud -- or
nothing. You had what it takes to
let through my door. Next question:
You got what it takes to stay...??"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

96. "How many boats can you water ski behind?" Great flick.

The Knicks, and chicks!

[Mythsaje]

95. Serenity.

"We may experience a little turbulence...and then explode."

"But I don't want to explode."

And the ultimate line for any of us.

"I aim to misbehave."

[sarge43]

97. That one and

"I'm a leaf on the wind."

From the series, "I'll be in my bunk."

Those three will get you through just about all life experiences.

[Mythsaje]

99. Absolutely...

My wife just won a portable DVD player and the whole season set of DVDs and Serenity. It took me all of about ten minutes to become a major fan, a dedicated browncoat.

Another that comes to mind...

"Why did they fight us?"

"Because we meddle."

Is it any wonder that Fox did everything they could to sabotage the show? Too many parallels with the real world.

[sarge43]

104. Yup.

I'm truly surprised Fox let it see the light of day.

[Mythsaje]

105. And sabotaged the crap out of it...

They insisted on a pilot, didn't play it until nearly the end of the season, and played the whole thing out of order.

I think their contracts pretty much made it a requirement they play it, but they didn't have to play fair with it.

The bastards.

[sarge43]

107. And scheduled late Friday night

The death watch slot.

[Initech]

100. Shut the fuck up, Donny!

108. "I am the walrus."

nt

[Ethan M Gaits]

103. All the President's Men

[UCLA02]

110. "As Good as it Gets" anyone?

When Nicholson's character is asked how he writes women so well in his novels: "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."

Check here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119822/quotes

I'd fogotten some of the one-liners ol' Jack zongs. Great stuff.

Found another great one: "How can you diagnose with an obsessive compulsive disorder, then act like I have some choice about barging in here?"

Anyone on board on this one?

[Catch22Dem]

112. Pulp Fucking Fiction

Almost every line is quoteworthy!
