Let's have some of your favorite lines from the movies; New or Old, Classic or flash in the pan...Blood & Guts, Love and Lavendar??
*****************************************

GWTW had so many that I was taken with:
Butterfly McQueen: But Miz Scarlet, Miz Scarlet, I don't know nothin 'bout birthin' no babies.

Rhett Butler: Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a Damn (that was the beginning of the end, swearing in films)

Scarlet: Tomorrow is another day! (Gag me, but I'll never forget it.)

That's easy! Hands down it was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. When she's in the forest and first comes upon the Tin Man.


(Said with great astonishment)...
"Why, it's a MAN!"

I've used that line many times in my life!

Bette Davis in "Jezebel" (I believe it was)

"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride"

I agree with you about the "birthin' no babies" line. A true classic!

My favorite line from my favorite film:

"It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

Anyone wanna take a guess?

From O' Brother, Where Art Thou: "Well, she done R-U-N-O-F-T" says a backwoods relative in explanation of his missing wife to the movie's three prison escapees, and "We're in a tight spot now," which George Clooney repeats comically after the same down-on-his-luck relative turned them in to prison officials.

From New Jack City: "Sit your $5 dollar a** down, before I make change," a classic line from Wesley Snipes as drug kingpin Nino Brown to a subordinate in his cartel.

I get a chuckle from Kathleen Turner's line directed to William Hurt's character in "Body Heat" - "You're not too bright. I like that in a man." ( And he wasn't.)

"As Good As It Gets"

I don't remember the words verbatim, but it's when Jack Nicholson walks out of his psychiatrist's office and looks at all the patients in the waiting room and says,

"What if this is as good as it gets?"
The looks on their faces are priceless.

Casablanca, the entire script is filled with classic lines.

Captain Louis Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?

Rick Blaine: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.

Captain Louis Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.

Rick Blaine: I was misinformed.

Speaking of "As Good As It Gets", I thought it was funny when Nicholson tried his best to console his gay neighbor, who had just gotten beat up, by saying with a sincere look, "Don't worry, you'll be back on your knees in no time."

Great thread and lots of great lines.

Almost any lines from My Cousin Vinny.

From Sleepless in Seattle (I think) when the lady in the next booth tells the waitress,"I'll have whatever she's having" after Meg Ryan fakes an orgasm at the next table.

From The Quiet Man-"When I drinks water I drinks water, when I drinks whiskey, I drinks whiskey"...Barry Fitzgerald

Sugar,

Your Bette Davis line is from "All About Eve", one of the great movies.

(I think it was a bumpy night rather than ride.)

Lauren Bacall to Bogart:

"You do know how to whistle don't you Steve...
Just put your lips together and BLOW"

Forgot the name of the flick. I think it was her first & she was 19...FANTASTIC!

From "King of Hearts"

The ballerina (?Jacqueline Bisset) leans over the balcony after both armies have just killed each other in the town square...

"My, what funny people!"

This flick ran for about 2 centuries at Syracuse U!
