I have to admit my trekkyness here and quote a startrek film. Startrek 6, from right at the very end:

Commander Pavel Chekov: Course heading, Captain?
Captain James T. Kirk: Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.


The thing I love about it is the freedom, the freedom to explore space and the means to do it. Actually, not sure how to put in words what I like about it

Do I win?

We should do a thread to identify the movie.

Not Sure if it made the show, but one of my all time favourite lines, and the epitome of ironic understatement is:

"We're gonna need a BIGGER boat..."
You only win if you get two from two.

The Proposition (2005)
Samuel Stote: What's a misanthrope, Arthur?
Two Bob: Some bugger who ****in' hates every other bugger.
Samuel Stote: Hey, I didn't ask you, you black *******
Arthur Burns: He's right Samuel. A misanthrope is one who hates humanity.
Samuel Stote: Is that what we are, misanthropes?
Arthur Burns: Good lord no. We're a family.

without a doubt, from Monty Python and the Holy Grail,
the scene at the end with the bridgeman guarding the bridge and he asks

"What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

ARTHUR : "What do you mean? An African or European swallow?"

My two faves :

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, i've seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, i watched seabeams glitter in the dark near the Tenhausser Gate, all those moments, will be lost in time, like tears in the rain .... time to die"

and

"Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives.... but they'll never take our FREEDOM!!

Alba Go bragh!"

My favourite 2 lines comes from my favourite movie: The Fifth Element.

1) Gary Oldman (Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg) : " I....am.......VERY.........DISAPPOI NTED!"
2) Bruce Willis - (Korben Dallas) : "Anybody else want to negotiate?"

So many classy lines in this movie, I could list them all....but these are two of the best. Oh, I will leave you with another one....

Milla Jovovich - Leeloo : "Leelooo Dallas - Multi Pass"

Cheers

Chris

'tis an excellent movie, but the best line from it must surely be :

"negative, i am a meat popsicle"

In Armageddon Bruce Willis lays out the Riggers' terms to the FBI for going up in space to blow up the Asteroid

“Noonan's got two women friends that he'd like to see made American citizens no questions asked. ... let's see what else. ... Um - hey, you guys wouldn't be able to tell us who actually killed Kennedy, would ya?”

Same Movie.....

Bridgekeeper: Stop. What... is your name?
Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Galahad: I seek the Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour?
Galahad: Blue. No, yel...
[he is also thrown over the edge]

I also love Bob Hope in the Ghost breakers worth watching on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkzV5AIK8iM:

Geoff Montgomery: It's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.
Larry Lawrence: You mean like Democrats?

Hi All,

Excellent thread.

Hmmm ... just concentrating on, as the thread asks, ones that usually don't make the list:

2001: a Space Odyssey, Dave Bowman: "Open the pod bay doors please Hal ..."

And the best delivered line ever in a comedy was by the little-known American actress Terri Garr playing Inga in Young Frankenstein here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9DO1...eature=related

at almost the 3:00 mark it is the one highlighted in Red below in the script:

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: “For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged.”
Inga: “His veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.”
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: ... “Exactly.”
Inga: “He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.”
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: (pause) ... “That goes without saying.”
Inga: “Woof.”
Igor: “He's going to be very popular.”

the script is funny, the delivery is amazing.

From earlier on in the same movie Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn) to Fredrick "No tongues ..." (again the delivery is everything ...)

I've watched that movie a hundred times and it's still funny every time. In fact, I'm going to watch it again right now.

And of course (as someone who spent 20-odd years in court-rooms) who could forget from The Castle:

"It's ... the vibe"

and

"Tell 'im he's dreamin' ..."


Best,

Les D

"I see dead people and the problem is they don't even know they are dead"
