Since I am out of town and I have finished the studying I need to do for tonight, I thought I would publish another post and I would like your help in the comment thread.
What are some of the great movie quotes and scenes of all time? Originally, this post was going to be limited to just movies quotes, but sometimes the whole scene informs the individual lines. I was thinking about this topic the other day and rattled off a few of my favorites: (Some are more recent than others). Please comment with some of your best lines and scenes.
"Creasy's art is death. And he is about to paint his masterpiece." Christopher Walken,
Man on Fire. This movie is one of the best in the last decade and does not get the credit it deserves.
"You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France? A Royale with cheese." - Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta,
Pulp Fiction The whole scene with the guys in the apartment is hilarious in my opinion.
Both Theoden's and Aragorn's speeches in
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King These speeches make me want to jump off the couch and go to war.
Mel Gibson's speech in Braveheart. Same reaction as above.
"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life." Peter Gibbons
Office Space. Kind of sets the tone for one of the funniesy movies of the 90's.
The whole scene when Dave Cujon droppes the coffee mug in
The Usual Suspects. This movie is top 5 for me right now. When he reviews everything verbal has said up until this point and realizes that he is Keyser Soze, I want to jump out of my chair.
The service station scene in
No Country for Old Men. This scene alone could have secured the Oscar for Javier Bardem.
"You want answers?" "I think I'm entitled to them." "You want answers?" "I want the truth!" "You can't handle the truth!" - Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson,
A Few Good Men. Great movie, great lines. Enough said.
"I'll never let go, Jack." - Kate Winslett,
Titanic. Wait a minute, how did that get in here? I do think that this line ranks high on the unintentional comedy scale (I think I owe Bill Simmons a dollar). She says this emotional line and proceeds to break his frozen hand off her arm with a resounding CRACK and he sinks to the bottom of the ocean. I should have been crying, but I was laughing.
So, give me your favorite movie lines and scenes. Let's try and keep it clean as this is a family blog.
