I don't know if this has been asked before or not.
But, let's say it hasn't. What's your favorite line from a movie?

Hmmm, favorite line? How about one I like? I hate naming favorites.

"The only place different social types can genuinely get along with each other is in heaven." - J.D., Heathers

So, true... unfortunately. That's one sad, true quote that always stuck with me.

from BARTON FINK

Geisler chews on his cottage cheese and stares at Barton.


GEISLER
. . . Look, you're confused? You need guidance? Talk
to another writer.

BARTON
Who?

Geisler rises and throws his napkin onto his plate.

GEISLER
Jesus, throw a rock in here, you'll hit one. And do
me a favor, Fink: Throw it hard.

I love the Duke, too. I'm a bit fuzzy on this movie...I know that in "Big Jake," John Wayne said almost the same thing, about four times:

Head Kidnapper: Who are you anyway mister?
JW: Jacob McCandles
HK: *coughing* I thought chu' were dead!
JW: Not hardly *HK collapses and dies*

Did they use the same routine in both? Anyone? (not that it would be all that surprising if they did, I just can't remember)

No, it was my mistake and the fact that I haven't gotten to watch any movies I picked in so long, I forgot*. You're right, it was Big Jake I meant. (But I liked both movies. Still, my favorite JW movie is Donovan's Reef", although I can't tell you any of the dialogue.)

*except for making DH watch "Raising Helen" with me on Sat. I loved it!

"If I'm not back in 5 minutes - wait longer." Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura.

"He raped Thrace thrice?" Zero Mostel in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

"Poor moth - she flew too near my flame." The solder Miles Gloriosus (forget who played him) in AFTHOTWTTF. I steal that line a LOT.

Not a movie line but: "E's not dead. E's pinin' for the fjords." From Monty Python's Dead Parrot skit.

Who knows what you have spoken to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all your life seems to shrink, the walls of your bower closing in about you, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in? So fair, yet so cold like a morning of pale Spring still clinging to Winter's chill. ~LotR, Two Towers

Steve Bushemi seems to get all the really good lines that stick with me.

From Con Air ~

[size=-1] ["Sweet Home Alabama" plays in background.]
Garland Greene: Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash.

From Armegeddon ~

Rockhound: You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?

A woman after my own heart. A lot of my favorite lines are from the LotR movies as well.

Gimli: "That an elf will go underground when a dwarf dare not? I'll never hear the end of it." ROTK

Legolas (during the drinking game): "I feel something. My fingers are beginning to tingle. I think it's beginning to affect me." (As Gimli passes out onto the floor...) "Game over."

Aragorn: "For Frodo." At the battle in front of the Black Gate in Mordor.

Gollum to Smeagol: "You don't have any friends. No one likes you."
