Whats your favourite (I mean very favourite line from a Movie)?

Challenge accepted! (Oh, ok that's also a kind of a quote... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nepysk5rOf4 and... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro0yZyVR0Qk&feature=related Who posts all these things on youtube???)

As someone who loves quotes, I'm going to open with a little known movie with some very good monologues...

BTW talking of Mr Hauer... Have you seen his latest? Hobo with a Shotgun is (sadly) to be avoided. But the trailer's very, very amusing...

Sadly he seems to want to do straight to video no more quality entertainment from the man!

Hi Omendata. I have tried to get the link but with no luck.

Cape Fear (1991)

"We never spoke about what happened, at least not to each other. Fear, I suppose, that to remember his name and what he did would mean letting him into our dreams. And me, I hardly dream about him anymore. Still, things won't ever be the way they were before he came. But that's alright because if you hang onto the past you die a little every day. And for myself, I know I'd rather live."

I was going through a really bad phase in my life when I went to see this film and was staying in a relationship that was becoming very destructive for us both. The last part of this from the line 'But that's alright because if you hang onto the past you die a little every day. And for myself, I know I'd rather live.' Seemed to speak directly to me.

On the way home, I chose to leave the house there and then, packed a bag and went 'home' and never returned. In fact, in time, I just signed everything away including the house so as I could be truly free.

My two favourite lines in a movie are from Gone with the wind. With Clark Gable starring as Rhett Butler and Vivien Leigh starring as Scarlet O'Hara.

Rhett Butler : Frankly my dear I don't give a dam
Vivien Leigh: Tomorrow is another day

I have two that immediately spring to mind...

Ice Cold in Alex (1958)

Captain Anson after draining his beer: "Worth waiting for!"

Finding Neverland (2004)

Actor playing Peter Pan to the audience: "Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands!"

This one's very personal. When I was about 6 or 7, my father took me to the theatre for the very first time. He took me to the Lyceum in Edinburgh, a beautiful Victorian theatre built in the 1880s. The play was J.M.Barrie's 'Peter Pan', with Dawn Addams as Peter Pan, and the wonderful Alastair Sim playing Captain Hook!

The play was magical, in every sense of the word, and I was entranced! Nana the dog, the flying, the pirates, the scary crocodile, the absolutely terrifying Captain Hook, and best of all...saving Tinkerbell's life by clapping my hands to show I believed in her!

From that moment on, I've had a love of the theatre, of the magical, of make-believe, of stories, of adventures, and the knowledge that a part of you must never, ever grow up!

So, every time I watch Finding Neverland, and hear that line and watch the children and the grown ups responding, I'm reminded of that...and, yes, I DO believe in fairies! :-)

Rod Steiger in the Heat of The Night.

"We have the motive which is money and the body which is dead".

It just struck me as amusing, I don't really know why.

For a more sentimental line it would have to be Bette Davis in Now Voyager. "Oh Jerry don't let us ask for the moon, we have the stars".

Another from Bette, I'm not sure if it was from a movie or not though, " Old age ain't for sissies".

Just got to love old Bette

I like quite a few one liners...

"It ain't the age honey, it's the mileage."
- Raiders of the Lost Ark

"Your double negative has proven proof positive!"
- Clue

"Flash I love you but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!"
- Flash

Any Arnie death scene one liner:
"Stick around."
- Predator
"He had to split."
- The Running Man
"I let him go."
- Commando
"Let off some steam!"
- Commando
"He's dead tired."
- Commando

Hi mister omen - you know I like jokes so I really laugh a lot when I heard this from Groucho Marx in Animal Crackers "One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know"

Actually this doesn't come any where near the blade runner for picturesque poetry and expression, but the nonsensicality of this joke is just so hilarious for me. I just love this type of comedy.
