i don't know if this thread has already been made, but i was wondering what was your favourite quote in a movie.
i have loads, but i love when mandy slade says this in velvet goldmine: "it's funny how beautiful people are when they're walking out the door".

Hedwig and The Angry Inch:

I got kicked out of university after delivering a brilliant lecture on the aggressive influence of German philosophy on rock and roll entitled "You, Kant, Always Get What You Want".

I am going to cheat and say 3 of them.

" A Woman can't change the world by destroying herself . . . . " Stephen King actually wrote that. I've always liked it.

"I'm not even supposed to be here today" Mr. Hicks

and uh, rabbits plinkety plinkety plink by Miss Tori Amos herself

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, heeello Mister Ze-ber-a

i could pull maybe 50 quotes alone from Ginger Snaps [best werewolf movie .ever.]

Jonny!! That was an excellent excellent impression!

"I met this 6yr old child with this blank pale emotionless face and the blackest eyes... the devils eyes" Sam Loomis in Halloween "You dont need to preach You dont have to love me all the time" Saturnine by The Gathering

"I'd never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member."
woody allen, apparently quoting groucho marx

From Ferris Bueller:
Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus but it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car!

From I Heart Huckabees:
Everything you could ever want or be you already have and are.
and
There is no remainder in the mathematics of infinity

pretty much all of i heart huckabees

I have plenty too, some that stick out:
Sookie: What kind of name is 'Igby'?
Igby: The kind of name that someone named 'Sookie' is in no position to question.

Igby: It's ironic that the first time in my life that I feel remotely affectionate for her, is when she's dead.
Oliver: You beat up her corpse.
Igby: I know, but after that.

Sookie: You know what I think when I'm this close to another body? I think one day at one moment... this body that I'm holding in my arms will stop breathing... stop living. Just... stop. One day you'll happen upon my name in the obits and you'll remember this moment when we were so close.
Igby: You're a real fuckin' upper

Sorry, they're all from Igby Goes Down, great movie.

"Fashion is a form of nature so ugly that it has to altered every six months"
-Oscar Wilde

- Liquor goes fast in the hot weather. You want a shot?
- No, I- rarely touch it.
- Well, there's some people rarely touch it, but it touches them often.


lol. love it so much

I love the quotes from the movie the Commitments(theres some great ones in the book too)
Jimmy Rabbitte: What do you play?
Failed Drug Buyer: I used to play football in school.
Jimmy Rabbitte: I mean, what instrument?
Failed Drug Buyer: I don't.
Jimmy Rabbitte: What are you doing here, then?
Failed Drug Buyer: Well, I saw everyone else lining up, so, uh -- I thought you were selling drugs.

Jimmy Rabbitte: Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud.

Dean Fay: [watching video of James Brown performing] Do y'not think, uh -- we're a little white for that sort of thing?

i don't eat fish

from donnie darko:

Jim Cunningham: Son... DO YOU SEE THIS? This is an Anger Prisoner. A textbook example. DO YOU SEE THE FEAR, PEOPLE? This boy is scared to death of the truth. Son, it breaks my heart to say this, but I believe you are a very troubled and confused young man. I believe you are searching for the answers in all the wrong places...

Donnie: You're right, actually. I am pretty- I'm, I'm pretty troubled and I'm, I'm pretty confused. But I... and I'm afraid. Really, really afraid. Really afraid. But I... I... I think you're the fucking Antichrist.

Oh, lawl! I love Donnie Darko for that kind of thing. "He told me to forcibly insert this book into my ANUS!" *dad stops self from laughing*

Karen Pommeroy: This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that Cellar Door is the most beautiful.

Donnie: Do you want your sister to lose weight? Tell her to get off the couch, stop eating twinkies and maybe go out for field hockey. You know what? No one ever knows what they want to be when they grow up. You know it takes a little, little while to find that out, right, Jim? And you... yeah, you. Sick of some jerk shoving your head down the toilet? Well, you know what? Maybe... you should lift some weights, or uh, take a karate lesson and the next time he's tries to do it, you kick him in the balls.
