You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!
Looking on the internet today and found a worldwide survey suggesting that the all-time favourite movie quote of all time is:
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!", (Gone with the Wind)
What are your favourite movie quotes?
You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!
Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him". Well, I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me... is Keyser Soze.
...."I'll be back".....
Usual suspects again, one of my all time favourites - Kevin Spacey is just brilliant...
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
Also from Gone with the Wind:
"I'll think about it tomorrow..."
"If it's not a personal question ..." and "I'm Brian and so's my wife" are up there on my list.
"I have T shirts older than you - Taxi"
From Prime - v funny!!!
Oooooh, Monty Python!
"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy"
Different film:
"Help, help, I'm being oppressed"
and
"Ni!"
and, inevitably,
"Bring me a shrubbery"

Better get a couple in, before all the good ones go:
From The Blues Brothers:
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
From Highlander: (an eminently quotable film)
Nuns – no sense of humour
and
You have the manners of a goat and you smell like a dung-heap! And you have no knowledge whatsoever of your potential! Now GET OUT (splash!)
From The Italian Job:
You must have shot an awful lot of tigers
- Yes I use a machine gun
From Top Gun
Your ego’s writing cheques your body can’t cash!
From The Princess Bride
Well, virtually the whole script
"game over man, game over!"

On a philosophical note: (OK, I Googled for it, long but superb)
From Good Night, and Good Luck. An actual real life quote from a speech made by Ed Murrow over 50 years ago but still so valid today:
"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men- not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.
This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent, or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities. As a nation we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it- and rather successfully. Cassius was right. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."
Good night, and good luck."
Zed: Bring out the Gimp.
Maynard: But the Gimp's sleeping.
Zed: Well, I guess you're gonna have to go wake him up now, won't you?
Ezekiel 25:17. 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyrannies of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepards the weak through the valley of darkness. For he is truly his brothers' keeper and finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she had to walk into mine.
Serious moment over...
From Independence Day (the only good line in the entire film IMO)
"Welcome to Earth" (SFX: Batman) WHACK
Ok, you people! Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.
In retrospect it doesn't seem like much, but in context for this 10 year old kid back in 1980 it blew me away:
"No. *I* am your father"
Big guy, dark suit, slight asthma, anger management issues...
"Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it infamy!"
