What's your favorite movie line?

Categories: Film

”Great paté, but I’m going to have to motor if I want to be ready for the funeral tomorrow.” What, that’s not on AFI’s list of the top 100 movie lines? But ”Show me the money” is? Oh well. Watch tonight on CBS to see if they honor your favorites. Pierce Brosnan, who’ll surely get to say, ”Bond, James Bond,” is the host. (The truly masochistic can download a 103-page PDF of the 400 lines that were considered.) Meanwhile, feel free to tell us what you think should be on their list. I will remain appalled that nothing from Heathers made it. Did the judges have a brain tumor for breakfast?

    “if peeing you pants is cool, consider me miles davis” -billy madison

    It really is a crime that Heathers didn’t make the list at all. What’s their damage? They’re all Swatch dogs and Diet Coke heads.

    oh my god billy madison quotes could go on forever.
    “It’s too damn hot for a penguin to just be walking around”

    it seems like from that list they just picked the most obvious rather than the truly great quotes in a movie

    like, decency standards prevented Bo Derek’s response to Dudley Moore in “10″? Derek: “Do you know what I like to do to (Ravel’s) Bolero?” Moore: “What?”
    Derek (cu on face, full frontal): “F**k.”

    This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back…..You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill you stay in wonderland and I show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

    OH MY GOD! What about “But ya AAAAAARE Blanche…ya AAAAAAARE in that chair”…from “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane”. You can’t walk into a gay bar and NOT hear that line. That and “No More Wire Hangers”, and that did make the list.

    “What’s a tough guy?…a guy with an edge…a gun or a knife, a nightstick, or a razor, somethin’ the other guy ain’t got. Yeah, a little extra reach on a punch, a set of brass knuckles, a stripe on the sleeve, a badge that says ‘Cop’ on it, a rock in your hand, or a bankroll in your pocket. That’s an edge, brother. Without an edge, there ain’t no tough guy.” ['Jake', Louis Merrill, to 'Mike O'Hara', Orson Welles in, "The Lady From Shanghai ~1947]
