So what is your favorite movie quote? Or one of them?
For me:
I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started, all I had was swamp! Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em! It sank into the swamp, so I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. I built a third one. It burned down, fell over, and then it sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up! And that’s what you’re going to get, lad–the strongest castle on these islands! -Monty Python and the Holy Grail
This is the most unpopular opinion in the Universe, but I hate that over-rated movie. It absolutely sucks and is light years from anything resembling funny.
Don’t be ashamed. I think Avatar, Signs and Gladiator are bad movies
Forgot to post my favorite movie line.
This scene is my favorite. Kurt Russel did an amazing job. You can feel the despair and hopelessness. It was also the scene (IIRC) that Carpenter was toying with the idea of making MacReady the Thing
I’m going to hide this tape when I’m finished. If none of us make it, at least there will be some kind of record. The storm’s been hitting us hard now for 48 hours. We still have nothing to go on. One other thing: I think it rips through your clothes when it takes you over. Windows found some shredded and bloody long-johns in the trash but the name tag was missing. They could be anybody’s. Nobody,nobody trusts anybody now, and we’re all very tired. There’s nothing more I can do, just wait. This is R.J. MacReady, helicopter pilot, US outpost #31.
“STAND BACK! Be silent! Be still!.. That’s it… and look upon this moment. Savor it! Rejoice with great gladness! Great gladness! Remember it always, for you are joined by it. You are One, under the stars. Remember it well, then… this night, this great victory. So that in the years ahead, you can say, ‘I was there that night, with Arthur, the King!’ For it is the doom of men that they forget.”
I’m your basic 80’s-90’s bee so my favorites are one liners from anything featuring Bruce Willis, Arnie Swarzennegger or Sly Stallone.
Personal favorites:
“Yippee ki-yay mother ------” - Die Hard
“Stay frosty” - Aliens
“Game over man! Game over!” - Aliens
“In the pipe, five by five” - Aliens
“Stay on Target” - Star Wars
“You’re one ugly mother -------” - Predator
“Knock, knock” - Predator
“Dillon! You son of a -----” - Predator
“I ain’t got time to bleed” - Predator
“I’ll be back” - Terminator
Crom… I have never prayed to you before, I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember if we were Good men, or Bad. Why we fought, or why we died. No… What’s important is that two stood against many. That’s what is important. Valor appeases you. So grant me one request. Grant me Revenge! And if you do not listen… then to hell with you!
Athos: Only a fool would try and arrest us twice in one day.
Guard: You’re under arrest.
Aramis & Porthos: A fool.
Guard: Are you coming peacefully, or do you intend to resist?
Porthos: Oh, don’t be so stupid, of course we intend to resist! Just give us a moment, alright?
Porthos: Five of them, three of us, hardly seems fair.
Aramis: Maybe we should give them a chance to surrender.
D’Artagnan: Excuse me, but there’s four of us.
Athos: It’s not your fight, you’re not a Musketeer.
D’Artagnan: I may not wear the tunic, but I believe I have the heart of a Musketeer.
Porthos: Warrior.
Aramis: Poet.
Athos: You got a name boy?
D’Artagnan: D’Artagnan
Athos: Athos, Porthos and Aramis.
Porthos: Hello
D’Artagnan: Nice to meet you.
Aramis: Pleasure.
Porthos: Everyone acquainted? [All draw their swords and turn to face the cardinal’s guards] NOW we are prepared to resist you.
Madmartigan : Did I really… Did I really say those things, last night, in your tent?
Sorsha : You said you loved me.
Madmartigan : I don’t remember that.
Sorsha : You lied to me.
Madmartigan : No, I… I just wasn’t myself last night.
Sorsha : I suppose my power enchanted you and you were helpless against it.
Madmartigan : Sort of.
Sorsha : Then what?
Madmartigan : It… went away.
Sorsha : Went away? “I dwell in darkness without you” and it went away?
