Inspiration for this post came from Sherry Early, who recently shared this on her blog, Semicolon. I read it and thought to myself, Fifty-five is a cool number. Why not do a similar post? So I did. And here you are. The movie geek in me is now obvious.
I should warn you ahead of time that if you’re not a cinephile, you’ll probably find this post extremely slow and incredibly stupid. I know I have at least a few fellow movie buffs among my readership, so if you’re there, now’s the time to speak up (in the comment section).
Also, take note: in the – slightly altered – words of Mark Twain, “Readers attempting to find profundity in this post will be prosecuted; readers attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; readers attempting to find a coherent structure in it will be shot.”
Just so we’re clear. Now, in no particularly organized fashion, I give you some of my favorite lines from the world of film.

What are your favorite movie lines? Well? Leave a comment (or ten) and share your favorites with the rest of us!
THE INK SLINGER 
Scrooge: “Merry Christmas” you say? What right have you to be merry? You’re poor enough.
Fred: What right have you to be dismal? You’re rich enough.
Rizzo: He’s got him there! The old boys speechless!
Scrooge: If I could work my will, every idiot that goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips would be cooked with his own turkey and buried with a steak of holly through his heart.
Rizzo: Hm. Not quite speechless.
– Muppets Christmas Carol
Love that movie. The Muppets are so quotable, aren’t they? :)
They are indeed. :D
It took you a while to get around to Princess Bride, the most quotable movie of all time, and you have a lot of guy movies there. But 55 is a good number, and I liked your list. :)
I’ll give you a few:
Insanity runs in my family… It practically gallops. ~Arsenic and Old Lace
I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure. ~Chariots of Fire
Benjy Benjamin: Now look! We’ve figured it seventeen different ways, and each time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it, somebody don’t like the way we figured it! So now, there’s only one way to figure it. And that is, every man, including the old bag, for himself!
Ding Bell: So good luck and may the best man win!
Benjy Benjamin: Except you lady, may you just drop dead! ~It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
LOL! Arsenic and Old Lace and Chariots of Fire I have seen, but not It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World. Apparently, I ought to remedy that. :) Thanks for commenting!
There are many, but I shall only share a few.
“People should not fear their government, but a government should fear it’s people”
– V For Vendetta
Woman: “What are you going to do?”
Creasy: “What I do best. I’m gonna kill them. Anybody that was involved, anybody that profited from it, anybody who opens their eyes at me.”
– Man On Fire
“I know kung fu.”
-The Matrix
Awesome choices, bro. I still remember the look on Denzel Washington’s face when he said that line in Man on Fire… thinking to myself, “This guy means business.” :)
It’s become one of my favorite movies. He indeed meant business.
I think all of mine would be from Princess Bride and Doctor Who, which wouldn’t make for a very interesting list at all.
Princess Bride is always interesting.
I second that. :) Share your favs!
That’s quite an amazing post, my son. As for remembering the lines, you know that sometimes I can’t even remember if I watched the movie. :)
Yes… I know… ;)
:P
What’re you grinnin’ at? :)
Okay, my favorites off this post are from The Incredibles and Sherlock Holmes. But my favorite line from Pirates of the Caribbean is:
Gibs: “Mark my words.” Norrinton: “Consider them marked.” and a few others:
“Can you drive a stick?” Batman Begins
“Oh, safe on the ground, at last.” ” meowww” ” No.” Rizo the Rat
“What makes you so special?” “Nothing. I’m just a kid from Brooklyn.” Capt. America to The Red Skull.
“They drew first blood, sir, They drew first blood.” Rambo: First Blood
“Friends don’t owe! Friends do ’cause they wanna’ do!” Rocky
That’s just a few. And yet another mile ling comment. :D
Love it. Thanks for sharing, dude! :)
Okay, one more: “What you’re gonna jump?! Are you crazy?”
“Well we are on the janitorial staff, we’re what you call a couple of risk takers.”
What movie is that from?
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. I watched it all the time when I was a kid and the line just popped up in my head. The humor of it didn’t set in until I was older though.
Ok. Gotcha. :)
Ha! This was good… :D
I definitely want to see the Avengers now…
You should. Definitely. :)
Awesome quotes! Movie nerd here appreciated them. :D Especially the one from Men In Black. However, my favourites from that movie would have to be:
Jay: Now that’s the worst disguise ever. That guy’s gotta be an alien. :D
Bug: Is THAT better?
Other favourites:
Thor: You have no idea what you’re dealing with.
Tony Stark: Shakespeare in The Park? Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
So that’s what it does…
– The Avengers
Vector: OHHH Yeah!!
Gru: Appar…ent…ly?
Vector: Awww, look… a teeny, tiny, toilet. [toilet bursts water into his face] Curse you, tiny toilet!!
– Despicable Me
Wat: It’s called a LANCE. Hello?!
– A Knight’s Tale
Jack: THAT’s not very nice.
Jack: I’m terribly sorry, I didn’t know. IF I see one, I shall inform you immediately.
Jack: Just… stay here. And try not to do anything….s-stupid.
– Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Sheik: You can’t have an ostrich race, with JUST… ONE… OSTRICH!
– Prince of Persia
Being a movie nerd, I could make this comment go forever, so I’ll spare you and end here. ;)
No, no, no… don’t stop there! You had a superb list going! :) I love that “Shakespeare” line from The Avengers… I just about died laughing when I heard it in the film. Tony Stark is bloody awesome. :)
I wouldn’t call him _that_ awesome, but he’s very funny. ;) :D I was with my siblings and a friend when we heard that line. Goodness, we cracked up!
And… you asked for it. ;)
President: Eat lead, alien! [fires gun twice] [looks at gun] Evidently, they eat lead. I’m brave! I’m a brave president!
Advisor: That button launches all of our nuclear missiles!
President: Then which button gets me a latte?
Advisor: That would be the other one, sir.
President: What idiot designed this thing?
Wilson: You did, sir.
President: Fair enough. Wilson, fire somebody.
– Monsters vs. Aliens
Charlie: Shake and shake the ketchup bottle, none will come, and then a lottle.

Forrest: Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.
– Forrest Gump
Riley: Funny story: my accountant set up a “corporation” on an island that didn’t exist! And assured me that’s how “rich” people do it. So I got audited, and slapped with a huge fine- plus interest! Do you know what the interest on five million dollars is? Six million dollars.
Riley: Yeah, it says smuuuudge.
– National Treasure 2
Riley: Why can’t they just say go there, here’s the treasure, spend it wisely?
Riley: Albuquerque. See I can do it too. Snorkel!
– National Treasure 1
Payne: Fee, fo, fi, fum, what beanstalk did you fall from?
– Major Payne
Sheik: It’s a secret government killing agency. That’s why I don’t pay taxes!
– Prince of Persia
And one of my all time favourites that gives me chills:
Edmond Dantes: King’s to you, Fernand.
– The Count of Monte Cristo
Excellent, excellent. :) I didn’t care for MvA overall, but some of the lines were hilarious. I’ve never seen The Count of Monte Cristo… do you recommend it?
The one-liners out of MvA were worth it in my book. :D And The Count of Monte Cristo comes with my highest reccommendation. It is one of my top five favorites, and that’s saying something. I do believe it is one I think you would thoroughly enjoy. :D However apparently there are two versions… Make sure you see the one that stars Jim Caviezel and Guy Pierce.
The Patriot is a recent big hit for me. Here is a few of the favorite quotes from that AWESOME movie.
Gabriel: I thought you were a man of principle father?
Benjamin: Maybe one day when you have a family you will understand.
Gabriel: When I have a family of my own I won’t hide behind them.
Or another whopper.
Charlotte: You have done nothing to be ashamed of.
Benjamin: I have done nothing. And for that I am ashamed.
Seen that movie?
I have, indeed. And you’re assessment of it – that it is “awesome” – is one I fully agree with. :) Great script, great acting, great story, great movie.
Love your list, Corey! I actually blogged about this a while back, and even re-posted it, here:
13 Great Movie Quotes
I was reading yours out loud to my daughter on the phone just now, and we were laughing out loud! By the way, she loves “Megamind,” and said she just watched it for the umpteenth time the other day.
Have you seen “Tombstone”? If not, you must, immediately! That movie is so full of awesome lines. it’s like 75 per cent of the script is quotable.
Blessings, my friend!
Cindy at Notes in the Key of Life
Yay! Another fan of Megamind. It’s one of my favorite animated films… gotta love Pitt and Ferrell as arch-enemies. :) And yes, I have seen Tombstone; an excellent western, with one of my all-time favorite performances (Val Kilmer as Holiday). And like you said, it’s got a terrifically quotable script, too. :)
And thanks for the link… I’m off to check it out now.
I particularly appreciate your Ghostbusters quotes! Here’s a couple more great ones from that:
Winston – “Tell him about the Twinkie.”
Venkman – “…what about the Twinkie?”
Venkman – “Yes, it’s true…this man has no d**k.”
I could fill a page with great Ghostbusters quotes. Also, you quoted Back to the Future a couple of times – my absolute favorite by a longshot! Here’s another quote or two from that:
Biff – “…so make like a tree and get outta here.”
Doc – “If my calculations are correct, then this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious sh*t.”
I could actually fill FIVE pages of great BTTF quotes (or I can just recite the script for you), but I’ll spare you. Anyway, here’s a few more of my favorites from other films:
“Do you…Fondue?” – Captain America
“I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you…stranger.” – The Dark Knight
“I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is.” – Forrest Gump
(the funniest line I’ve ever heard in a film, ever:)
Max – “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?”
Chief – “I don’t know…were you thinking ‘holy sh*t, holy sh*t, a swordfish almost went through my head’? If so, then yes.” – Get Smart
Dumbledore – “Lily? After all these years?”
Snape – “Always.” – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Pt. 2
“Thanks for nothing you useless reptile.” – How to Train Your Dragon
Lionel – “Do you know the ‘F’ word?”
Bertie – “F-f-f-fornication?” – The King’s Speech
“It’s hard not to be romantic about baseball.” – Moneyball
“I feel big as a d*mn mountain.” – One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
“If you were the inventors of Facebook, you’d have invented Facebook.” – The Social Network
“I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try – but there’s no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention – you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing…Did I accurately answer your condescending question?” – The Social Network
“This drink – I like it! Another!” Thor
Okay, that’s enough…that was me glancing over at my Blu-Ray collection (not even my DVDs, which are more abundant) and naming quotes off the top of my head. Many more where those came from!
-Chad
Haha! Terrific. :) Ghostbusters and Back to the Future are two of the most quotable comedies around. And of course, that line from The King’s Speech… gotta love it. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a lengthy comment! Much appreciated. :)
Forgive me for the errors in my comment that I just noticed, namely the mis-attributed BTTF quote (the second one was Doc, not Marty) and the accidental double-paste of the Social Network quote.
Oops. Ha.
No worries. I fixed it. :)
This is very cool, I might need to try this after my week of Batman posts. :) You have a lot of great quotes. Love Captain America’s “There’s only one God, ma’am, and I’m pretty sure He doesn’t dress like that.” quote from The Avengers, I am surprised that he said that considering all of the PC juke in movies today. :) Also is the The Princess Bride a good movie? The name sounds like it is a chick flick but it seems that a lot people like it.
Some of my favorites lines that were not included in your post are
Darth Vader: There is no escape. Don’t make me destroy you.
Darth Vader: Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
Luke: I’ll never join you!
Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough! He told me *you* killed him!
Darth Vader: No. *I* am your father.
Luke: No. No. That’s not true. That’s impossible!
Darth Vader: Search your feelings, you *know* it to be true!
Luke:No! No!
“May the force be with you.”
-Star Wars
Indiana: There’s a big snake in the plane, Jock!

-James
Thanks for contributing, James! Great quotes. Love the one from Indiana Jones. :)
This one occurred to me later. Disclaimer: I am NOT recommending “Billy Madison,” but at some point in years past I did watch it, and this exchange is a classic:
Principal: Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Billy Madison: Okay, a simple “wrong” would’ve done just fine.
Hahahahaha! That’s brilliant. :D
Ah, you got pretty much all my favorite lines. Now if this had just included tv shows, too. :)
And I really didn’t need a whole new list of movies to go watch.. sigh..
Always happy to help, Amy. ;)
Some really good ones, here, and in the comments, too. One of my favorite recent lines comes from “The Dark Knight,” and is by Alfred. “Because some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. “
I like that one, too. The Dark Knight has some pretty weighty lines… which makes sense, considering it’s a rather weighty movie.
I’ve got a few favorites, a lot of which come from “I Robot”.
Del Spooner: You are the dumbest smart person I have ever met!
-I Robot
NS5: You are experiencing a car accident.
Del Spooner: The h*** I am!
-I Robot
Del Spooner: A trail of breadcrumbs, you know? Like in Hansel and Gretel?
Dr. Calvin: I don’t understand…
Spooner: Come on, how did you grow up not reading Hansel and Gretel?
Cavin: Is that really relevant?
Spooner: Well, everything I’m tellin’ you goes back to Hansel and Gretel. If you don’t know the story, I’m just talkin’ to the wall.
-You guessed it, I Robot
Inigo Montoya: Give us the gate key.
Guard: I have no gate key.
Inigo: Phesic, rip his arms off.
Guard: Oh, you mean this gate key.
-The Princess Bride (don’t hate on my spelling of Phesic, y’all)
I could go on, but I’ll spare you from a wall of text.
I love I, Robot – Will Smith has some of the best one-liners. Ever. :) Thanks for the comment!
Yes! How did I forget the awesome quotes from I,robot? I love that movie! :D
We quote movie lines around our house all the time – but as soon as I try to come up with a list of them, my mind goes blank. :p Actually, we often quote entire scenes, sometimes partly reenacting portions. Not sure anyone else does that. lol Your quotes from The Incredibles and Sherlock Holmes are among my favorites though. :)
To the KING be all the glory!
Rebekah
Thanks, Rebekah! Glad you enjoyed the post. :)
This is my list, put together in 2002. I probably have some new favourites since then => http://users.telenet.be/nathan/posts/films/quotes.html
