I just got back from watching the Shawshank Redemption. It'd been a long time since I'd seen it; I'd forgotten what a great movie it was.

My favorite line from the whole thing is deliverd by Morgan Freeman (Red):
"Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'; that's goddamn right."

It's just such a powerful line, and it's delivered at the perfect time. It moved me, man!


Anyway, If you want, post some movie quotes that just struck you when you heard them.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Boogie]

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!" We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

You know Garden State was a pretty flawed movie, but I loved this quote:

Andrew Largeman: You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone.
Sam: I still feel at home in my house.
Andrew Largeman: You'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this right of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

 

[Boogie]

:lol Thats embarasingly shite.

Aww, come on, it's a classic :lol

 

[lilraylewis]

:lol Thats embarasingly shite.

Oh, don''t be like that. Who are we to criticize someone else's taste, however bad it may be?

Just kidding Boogie, President Pullman rocks. Congrats on the girlfriend, by the way.

"what do you care? You see us as you want to see us...in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions."

Not really powerful, just really true.

 

[Malakhov]

Parker: Don't you think it's funny that if I grab a woman's ass and she punches me, she's fighting for her rights, but if a faggot grabs my ass and I punch his lights out, I'm a homophobe?

It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business.

There we go. Good choice.

Y'know, I've yet to watch Garden State all the way through. I may just have to now. I've been away at college for a year and a half now, and that quote articulates a lot of what I felt when I came back home this winter break.

 

[Guzim]

How could I forget this one?

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Col. Kurtz: Aocalypse Now
"The horror. The horror."

"Fredo, you're my older brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever."

Jim Malone: The Untouchables
"You wanna know how you do it? Here's how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send on of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone! Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that?"

[lilraylewis]

Oh! Oh! I got another one.

"What we have here, is failure to communicate."
-Cool Hand Luke

Eh, I guess it's not really that powerful a quote. But I heard the line long before I saw the movie, and when I saw that scene for the first time I had an oh, so-that's-where-that-came-from moment.

 

[Scrow]

Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement, for not even the very wise can see all ends.

[Pochacco]

"Dude where's my car?" from "Dude Where's My Car?".

O how crappy movies have corrupted our youth!

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Am I supposed to be a man? Am I supposed to say, it's OK, I don't mind! I don't mind! Well I mind! I mind big time! And you know what the worst part is? I NEVER LEARNED TO READ!

[APerfectCircle]

Some donny darko quotes, possibly the greatest movie i've seen.
"who's frank?" donnie: "a 6 foot bunny rabbit"
little girl at table after awkward silence.... "whats a F*** ass?"
donnie: "why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

 

[Asbel]

Two Army of Darkness quotes and no Spaceballs yet? Even Pullman was mentioned earlier.

http://www.moviesoundscentral.com/spaceballs.htm

These aren't even all of the great lines.

 

[Morbo]

"Dude, his fingers are way the fuck up my nose"
From the Ladykillers, not sure that's the exact wording.

 

[Hitman]

Oh! Oh! I got another one.

"What we have here, is failure to communicate."
-Cool Hand Luke

Eh, I guess it's not really that powerful a quote. But I heard the line long before I saw the movie, and when I saw that scene for the first time I had an oh, so-that's-where-that-came-from moment.

So is THAT where the quote comes from in Guns n Roses - Civil War????

 

[Virgin Wii]

"I'm not crazy... I saw her. Right between the clowns and the big talking hotdog."

"Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part."

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Return of the King:
Aragorn: We have time. Every day Frodo moves closer to Mordor.
Gandalf: Do we know that?
Aragorn: What does your heart tell you?
Gandalf: That Frodo is alive. Yes. Yes, he's alive.

Full Metal Jacket:
Private Joker: The dead know only one thing: it is better to be alive.

Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
Spock, having saved the ship, is dying]
Kirk: Spock.
Spock: Ship... out of danger?
Kirk: Yes.
Spock: Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh...
Kirk: ...the needs of the few.
Spock: ...Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?
Kirk: Spock...
Spock: I have been and always shall be your friend.
[Holds up his hand in the Vulcan salute]
Spock: Live long and prosper.

 

[Dan]

The last line from John Carpenter's The Thing.
MacReady: Why don't we just wait here for a while... see what happens.
----------------

Just about everything said by HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
HAL: Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?

HAL: It can only be attributable to human error.
-----------------

The final lines from Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind.
Chuck Barris: I came up with a new game-show idea recently. It's called The Old Game. You got three old guys with loaded guns onstage. They look back at their lives, see who they were, what they accomplished, how close they came to realizing their dreams. The winner is the one who doesn't blow his brains out. He gets a refrigerator.

 

[Spike]

I know what you're thinking: "Did he fire six shots, or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But, being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya punk?

-- Dirty Harry

[Harry Callahan has to explain why he shot a man]

Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy.

The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?

Harry Callahan: When a man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!
