I was just wondering what is your favorite line or saying from a movie--it could be any movie--but it's just one of those sayings that sticks in your mind--from classics like "Here's looking at you kid." or "Play it again Sam"--anything that you just can't get out of your mind. Mine is from Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship of the RIng, which IS an actual line from Tolkien's book, rather something made up by the scriptwriters... It's.. ~~All you have to do is to decide what to do with the time that is given to us.~~ Isn't that ever true??

There are many lines from movies that I love actually. One is from the movie Masterminds "You know, I'm not a violent man but I really do think I'm going to have to kill someone here". Another is from Elvira "If I want your opinion I'll beat it out of ya." Then there is one from Pretty Woman "Big, huge mistake. I have to go shopping now". My last favorite one is from Steele Magnolias, "I'm not crazy M'lynn. I've just been in a very bad mood for 40 years." Heheh they all make me smile.

You and me both. There are many lines in that movie I enjoy. They did a great job with the characters and I can relate to them in many of the scenes, especially Weezer :)

The favorite line from a movie hit me like a ton of bricks. I was always taught that "I owe my mom everything because she had me and she was soooooooooo sick and all that other crap". Well, watching GUESS WHOS COMING TO DINNER with Sindy Poitney (Sp) and Spencer Tracy. There is a discussion in there with Sindy and his father. Sindy tells his father in a heated arguement "I DO NOT OWE YOU A THING OLD MAN I DID NOT ASK TO BE BORN, YOU CHOSE TO HAVE ME". Wow what a line. Did it open my eyes. The other line I like is in Kidergarden Cop with our Governor of California Arnold "IT'S NOT A TUMOR". he tells a kindergardner he has a headache and the kid says maybe its a tumor.

For some reason your comments here made me think of another movie..along the similar ideas...I love the Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood...you see the relationship between my mother and myself was...well..shall we say turbulant...well the relationship between Sidda (played by Sandra Bullock) and her mother Vivi (Ellen Burstyn) was rocky -- Sidda gives a really good line at the beginning of the movie: I'm paraprasing a bit here "I get all my creativity from my mother...If I had had an easy childhood, I'd have nothing to write about." Mmm...maybe that's why I'm a creative person--LOL

Guess whos coming to dinner is an excellent movie with a lot of good lines in it. I love one that Kathrine Hepburn's character says but I can't remember it exactly. She's telling her husband how they have always told their daughter that there wasn't a difference between races, that to think so was silly etc. and then she stated something like "But Matt, we never said in all that not to fall in love with one." In other words we need to stick with what we said. I loved how she did it.

I'm probably misquoting it, but the second movie of Star Wars, Yoda said something like "Try? There is no try, there is only do or not do." That really got me to thinking!

"Well, La Dee Dah" - Diane Keaton's line in Annie Hall is my favorite. It's also one of my all time favorite movies.

Well I'd say some that I use a lot. From "Whats Up Doc" there is "What the devil are these?" (me and my sister were using that forever and DIDNT realized it came from that older but very funny movie!). I love from Rat Race "I'm not giving up, and neither are you, and neither am I!" "A Guy Thing" "What?" "Crab medicine?" "Oh Crab medicine!" My sister loves from Duce Biglo (sp?) "Steak? Did you say steak? Now you got me all excited!" We quote movies all the time in daily conversations. Due to the fact we both watch movies a lot and love to quote our favorites. Some other people do this too. Its not too rare at least once a day for me to quote some lines from a movie. :))

I can't get over Jack Nicholson's answer to Tom Cruise in the film A Few Good Men,(I think thats the name of the movie) when Tom says he wants the truth. Jack's reply, "The truth! you can't handle the truth."

my favorite line from a movie is this.. "Life is not the amounts of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away." It came from the movie Hitch starring Will Smith. it's also like saying it's not how long we lived on earth but the quality of life and the experiences we've had.

Well my favorite lines is not from a Movie it's from a TV series or from SMALLVILLE. For me the dialogues or catchy lines from are very philosophical and indeed some are classic meaning they have improvised the lines from other movies or lines from a known writer. In one of the episodes in SMALLVILLE, Lana Lang was speaking to Clark Kent about relationship. What catches my attention is this line: "LETTING GO IS THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE FORWARD". Isn't that a great line? Here's more, Lionel Luthor to Lex Luthor; Lionel said: "EMPIRES ARE NOT BROUGHT DOWN BY OUTSIDE FORCES. THEY ARE DESTROYED FROM WITHIN." Here's another, Clark Kent said: "DESTINY IS ANOTHER WORD FOR NOT HAVING A CHOICE". With these lines it's as if you wish you could speak like those lines uttered on your day-to-day life. But what is important is you apply those lines mentioned above on your day-to-day lives. Great lines ey?.

there are so many lines I love I wont be able to think of them all right now, but here's some! Armageddon: "Get off, the nuclear warhead..." "just wanted to feel the power between my legs..." FRIENDS (tv): " I know when the time comes I'll make a good father, but Monica's there...shes a mother, without a baby" omg i love that line, it is so heart breaking! V for Vendetta: "Remember, Remember, the 5th of November..." and I just love the end fight scene, and I love when he says "My turn," after he gets shot a lot of times. I know there was another one for Armageddon I liked, and when i think of more I'll post again! good discussion.

Here goes my top three fave movie lines that is for a special friend: 3rd. Im gonna treat you so nice, you're never gonna let me go. - Vivian in 'Pretty Woman' -- I always kid my special some1 using this line. But he never knew that i meant every word of it.. but then again, jokes are always half meant. right? 2nd. I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One. - Seth in 'City of Angels' -- this I dedicate to some1 who can never be mine.. and I hope he got the message :( Ironic, cause he will never know and its better to keep it the same... 1st. A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. - Old Rose in 'Titanic' -- that itself is self explanatory ΓΌ

About 25 years ago, I saw a movie "Nine to five". With Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton. I don't remember the male actors name. He was trying to put the "pull" on the ladies as he was their boss. All of a sudden (I also don't remember why) Dolly Parton had a shotgun in her hand and was waving it at the guy and told him:"If you don't behave, I am going to change you with one shot from a rooster to a hen". This I remember.

From Man on a Train: Mansquier: There are two kinds of men. Those who say "I must buy a new toothbrush. I have lost mine," They're adventurers. And those who have an extra brush. Milan: What are they? Mansquier: Planners, at best. Milan: You have two of everything? Mansquier: (smiles sadly) Three! From the Good Thief: Bob (to a 17-year-old girl in a bar's men's room): Aren't you too young to be in here? Anne (nodding at Bob's herione and needles): Aren't you too old to be doing that?
