Favorite quotable cult classic movie

Poll question: Favorite quotable cult classic movie

There are tons of people in teh Lounge that love to quote from certain movies that sometimes weren't exactly theatre hits but gained a cult following in the years after. So much so that many people can recognize and quote lines accurately from memory. I would be interested to see the Lounge's opinion here. If I miss something I apologize in advance. These are just the ones I am MOST aware of.

For the record mine CURRENTLY is Princess Bride. Although perhaps someday Spinal Tap will compete ..(Inconceivable!!):)

[Dr. Strange]

1. You keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

[underpants]

2. An almost perfect movie

the only thing I have ever found wrong with it is that you can see the padding that Dread Pirate Roberts lands on after going around on the bar during the sword fight.

Other than that-PERFECT like Robin Wrights breasts

[Dr. Strange]

6. Somewhere in Minnesota...

temeah is awakened.

Other than that-PERFECT like Robin Wrights breasts

I think you know the drill: LINK??!?!?!11??!

[TZ]

7. If you lock my thread...

I keel you!!! (with respect ot lost-in-nj):mad:

[intheflow]

22. I agree, almost perfect, but the prolem I found was

when Wesley's being tortured, Innego knows it's "the man in black" who has lost his true love. OK, so he knows who the man in black is ("he bested me at steel"), but how does he know that the wailing is a) the man in black, and b) that the man in black was thwarted in love? I know, nitpicky, but that has always stood out as a glaring script mistake to me.

But other than that, I'll stop it. I mean it. Anybody want a peanut? :silly:

[TZ]

25. Well I know you don't mean any HARM....

Thats just part of your CHARM....:)

[Orrex]

47. In that same scene

The two swordsmen each throw multiple shadows. Perhaps this magical realm has more than one Sun?

[TZ]

66. lol

Perhaps the world is flat and the sunlight moves in odd ways.....;-)
I started Mort the other day...:hi:

[Orrex]

74. Cool for you!!

Mort was my first favorite Discworld book, and it's still in my top three.

Glad to hear that you're sticking with the series!

[TZ]

3. Bravo!!!

:applause:
Hello my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father...prepare to die...":)

[unpossibles]

50. Hello....

[TZ]

64. ROFL!

Best lolcat evah!!!:rofl:

[unpossibles]

67. I was in tears laughing when I saw it this morning

then the perfect thread surfaced in which I could share it!

[WinkyDink]

4. "I didn't make him...for YOU!"

[intheflow]

26. "Great Scott!"

[billyskank]

5. OMG I think I love you.

:wow:

[hellbound-liberal]

8. How about: "It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters!"

from Motel Hell with Rory Calhoun and Elaine Joyce. Love those you listed by the way. The Princess Bride should be in EVERYONE'S collection!

[Debi]

17. I just got a question about that movie while playing Trival Pursuit Totally 80's

My mother was floored! "Meat's meat, and a man's gotta eat."

[leftofthedial]

9. The Big Lebowski

Ohh man! Not the rug!

[GCP]

10. Life of Brian - too many to count

Pontius Pilate: What about you? Do you find it... wisible... when I say the name... 'Biggus'...

Pontius Pilate: ... Dickus?

Pontius Pilate: He has a wife, you know. You know what she's called? She's called... 'Incontinentia'... Incontinentia Buttocks

[Dawggie]

11. You forgot Airplane

:)

[TZ]

12. Surely you jest.....

Don't call me Shirley!!
:thumbsup:

[Dr. Strange]

13. You know what?

Dawggie, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash.

[Dawggie]

14. that was a literal Laugh out loud!

:toast:

[Inchworm]

16. Sure picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue

:D

[intheflow]

24. "I speak jive."

[mac56]

46. "The fog is getting thicker..."

"And Leon's getting larger!"

[Va Lefty]

15. "Excuse me while I whip this out."

:spray:

[intheflow]

27. Just watched this again last night.

"Please. You are making a German spectacle of yourself."

[FloridaJudy]

38. Tell me cowboy, are you in show business?

Then why don't you get your fwiggin' feet off o' the stage?!

I loved Madeline Kahn!

What do the gods have against gifted comedic actors with ovaries? :cry:

[FloridaJudy]

70. Werewolf?

There, wolf. There castle!

[Forkboy]

19. Tapeheads with John Cusack and Tim Robbins

A total hidden gem of a movie that's funny as hell. Don Cornelius (of Soultrain fame) is hilarious as the record producer Mo Fuzz.

[Fire Walk With Me]

43. Yep, I've got that DVD...

[gmoney]

51. I think my favorite moment in Tapeheads...

is when John is at dinner with the reporter trying to be all suave and he takes a big drink from the candle in a jar...

or perhaps: "Am I crying? Because it wouldn't surprise me if I am... I can't use this."

[Forkboy]

61. Real hard to pick any one thing. The whole movie is hilarious.

Though I really love when the do the alphabet backwards in sign language with their eyes closed and omitting all the vowels.

It amazes me that the movie is so unknown with both Cusack and Robbins being as popular as they are. A true hidden gem.

[Orsino]

20. "Run away!"

The Princess Bride is awesome, but hasn't been around as long as Holy Grail, and so comes in a close second as far as having penetrated the collective consciousness.

[intheflow]

28. "Bring out yer dead!"

"And what else floats?"
"Very small rocks."

"Some call me... Tim."

"And there was much rejoicing." (My personal fav to use in the mod forum when a troll has been banned. :D )

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. He's right on top of us. I wonder if he is using the same wind we are using.

Surrender!
You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.


Bye-bye boys, have fun stormin' da castle!

[Dawggie]

29. I know a little German...

"It's an old German name that means 'She whose breasts defy gravity'."

:rofl: :hi:

[quip]

32. Sorry I missed this wonderful thread. #1 Obviously Tap. Done. EOD. But, what about

Ferris Bueller??? Many great lines from that classic. So THAT'S the way it is in that family...

:hi:

[TZ]

41. So you did a "Bueller? Bueller? on my thread I should say.

:hi:

[quip]

58. Anyone? Blank du economics.... Anyone?

I usually take a break from DU on Sundays. :hi:

[TZ]

59. heh. Be sure to be around this evening

Boy do I need to blow off steam..and I do that by being a naughty lounge girl...

[Dr. Strange]

60. Oooh, I can't wait.

I have high low expectations!

[quip]

75. Did I miss all of the steam?

Sorry, I play hockey Monday nights and don't get back until, well, around now. :P

If I missed any good naughtiness, I will be very put out (a veiled ref to Humperdinck) :hi:

[dancing kali]

33. The Cradle Will Rock

Dies Committee testimony scene:

Congressman Starnes: You are quoting from this Marlowe. Is he a Communist?
Hallie Flanagan: I am very sorry. I was quoting from Christopher Marlowe.
Congressman Starnes: Tell us who this Marlowe is, so we can get the proper reference, because that is all we want to do.
Hallie Flanagan: Put in the record that he was the greatest dramatist in the period immediately preceding Shakespeare.

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

34. Amazon Women on the Moon

[mainegreen]

39. Hell yeah. Hail to the King baby!

I did a full Army of Darkness theme on one of my past PC's- I had a soundclip for every dialog box pop-up.

[BlueIris]

36. "It's a moral imperative!"

[mitchum]

37. Taxi Driver and The Godfather

[skater314159]

40. It was a toss-up between...

... the Monty Pythons - but I'll let my hubby have those - and Napoleon Dynamite. I know it's all "new" and all that, but it's my fave.

But I know whatcha mean about PB - I *loved* that movie when it came out in when I was in elem... my friends and I would sneak in and see it.

[begin_within]

44. "Women! They let 'em vote, smoke and drive – even put 'em in pants! And what happens? A Democrat for

president! A bunch of smoke up your chimney! Russian Russian roulette on the highways! Can't even tell brother from sister, unless you meet 'em up close."

[mac56]

45. "Young Frankenstein" has inspired more family in-jokes

among my parents and siblings than you could possibly imagine.

"Could be worse...Could be raining..."
"Put..the candle....back...."
"Open the door...open the goddamn door...!"
"It's like my old dad used to say...Get out of the bathroom and give someone else a chance...!"
"Damn your eyes!" "Too late!"
"He was my.....BOYFRIEND!"
"Werewolf!' "There wolf...there castle..."
etc.,etc.

[Westegg]

48. Buckaroo Banzai!

"I've been ionized, but I'm okay now."

"If it was a snake it would've bit me!"

[Initech]

49. There are so many quote movies I love.

It's hard to pick just one. From that list Airplane, Spinal Tap, and Blazing Saddles all rule. But then add in The Big Lebowski, Fight Club, Ferris Bueller, and a bunch of others.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

52. Hey Mannnnn, We Ain't Found SHIT!!

She's going from suck to blow!!!

I'll give spaceballs its first :)

[racaulk]

53. I cannot believe no one has said Mommie Dearest!

Geez, what is wrong with you people? How can you forget classic lines like these?

"What are wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you no wire hangers, EVER!!!"

"I should have known you'd know where to find the boys AND the booze!"

"If you can't do something right, don't do it at all."

"I'm not mad at you Helga, I'm mad at the dirt!"

"I can handle the socks."

"I work and I work until I'm half dead, and I hear people say 'She's getting old.' And what do I get? A daughter...who cares as much about the beautiful dresses I give her...as she cares about ME!!!"

"Tina! Bring me the axe!"

"I'm bigger and I'm faster. I will always beat you."

"DON'T FUCK WITH ME FELLAS!!!"

"Did you scrub the bathroom floor today? Did you?"

Joan: "Why do you deliberately defy me?"
Christina: "Why did you tell her I got expelled?"
Joan: "Because you did get expelled!"
Christina: "That...is a lie."
Joan slaps Christina twice, and Christina glares at Joan.
Joan: "You love it don't you? You love to make me hit you!"
Barbara enters.
Joan: "Barbara please! Please, Barbara! Leave us alone, if you need anything as Carol Ann."
Barbara leaves.
Joan: "Oh this is wonderful, this is WONDERFUL! You deliberately embarrass me in front of a reporter. A reporter. I told you how important this is to me, I told you!"
Christina: "Why did you adopt me?"
Joan: "Wha?"
Christina: "Why did you adopt me?"
Joan: "Because I wanted a child, someone to love."
Christina: "Don't you act for me. I wanna know! Why did you adopt me?!?!?!"
Joan: "Maybe I did it for a little extra publicity. That's not true. Tina, you know that's not true."
Christina: "Maybe just a little true." Turns to walk away.
Joan: "I don't know what to do with you."
Christina turns around and shouts "WHY NOT?"
Joan: "I don't ask much from you, girl! Why can't you give me the RESPECT that I'm ENTITLED TO??? Why can't you treat me, like I would be treated by and STRANGER ON THE STREET???"
Christina: "Because I am not...one of your FAAAAANNSSS!!!"















OK, maybe this is only a quotable movie to me.

:rofl:

62. Dazed and Confused

Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, all right. We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some fuckin' muscle.

That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.

I only came here to do two things, kick some ass and drink some beer. Looks like we're almost outta beer.

All right, all right, all right.

Say, man, you got a joint?
No, not on me, man.
It'd be a lot cooler if you diid.

George Washington was in a cult, and the cult was into aliens, man.

What are you looking at? Wipe that face off your head, bitch.

Marijuana on one. Reefer on two.

Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes.

[jus_the_facts]

63. "I don't give a fuck about your war... or your president. "

I get the urge to say "these go to eleven" in a British accent.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

72. Don't forget Dr. Strangelove.

Gentlemen, you can't fight here! This is the War Room!

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

73. "Baby please, you're making a German Spectacle out of yourself"

I quote all of the movies you listed, but Blazing Saddles gets the nod because I've been quoting it the longest.

That's Hedley! :D

[Jamastiene]

76. I want to eat your brains!!!

from Return of the Living Dead, is my most favorite of them all.
