There are alot of contenders for movie that is the most quotable, Withnail And I, Life of Brain, Casablanca..the list goes on and on.
Which is your personal favourite? Which movie has the most brilliant quotes for you and by all means give some examples.

For me, it's Dr Stranglove, with the choicest being

President Muffley: 'Gentleman you can't fight in here; this is the War Room!'

Dr Stranglove: 'Mr President..I have a plan (imexplicably rises from his wheelchair) MY FUHRER, I CAN WALK!'

Probably most people here can quote 80% of Big Lebowski off the tops of their heads.

"Withnail And I" - ha, it's been years and I remember quoting the shit out of that, but now I can't remember any of the specific quotes.

"Malcolm X" is quotable, but I think it's just because his actual speeches are so quotable.

Pretty much every single line Arnold said in The Terminator. Not because they're good quotes but simply because he's fucking badass and can make anything sound quotable.

"Look a glorious rainbow!"
"Do me on it!"

"60% of the time it works everytime"

"That smells like Bigfoot's dick!"


"Flowers are essentially tarts: prostitutes for bees."

"Hairdressers are part of a government conspiracy. We get signals from the cosmos through our hair. That's why bald people are so uptight."


Not really quotable (I had to look it up), but one of my favorite scenes:

CLARK: No, no, no, no..no, there's no problem here. I was just hoping you might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy of the Southern Colonies. My contention is that uh...prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the Southern Colonies, could most aptly be characterized as agrarian precapital--

WILL: Let me tell you somethin', all right? Of course that's your contention.

CLARK: Hang on a second.

WILL: You're a first year grad student. You just got finished reading some Marxian historian -- Pete Garrison, probably -- you gunna' be convinced of that till next month when you get to James Lemon, then you're gunna' be talkin' about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gunna' last until next year, you're gunna' be in here regurgitatin' Gordon Wood. Talkin' about, you know, the pre-Revolutionary Utopia and the capital forming effects of military mobilization.

CLARK: Well, as a matter of fact I won't because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social di--

WILL: Wood drastically...Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth. You got that from Vickers. Work in Essex County, page 98, right? Yeah, I read that, too. You gunna' plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts that...of your own on this matter? Or do you-- is that your thing? You come into a bar, you read some obscure passage, and then pretend you, you..pawn it off as your own..as your own idea just to impress some girls..? Embarrass my friend? See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in fifty years you're gunna start doing some thinkin' on your own, and you're gunna' come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and, two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a fuckin' education you coulda' got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library.

How'd ya like dem apples?

It's been linked so much here it felt redundant, there are plenty of other, more quotable parts in the movie :p He has an oft overlooked cameo in Sir Robin's bit anyway "Anarcho-syndicalism is a way of preserving freedom!" "Oh Dennis, forget about freedom, and don't drop that mud!"

I love the Cave of Caerbannog bit, one of my favorite quotes from the movie... "You manky Scots git! What's he do, nibble your bum?"

:confused:

That's a Russ Meyer film, not John Waters.I thought they meant Pussycat as one or any John Waters movie as another, not that it was a Waters movie.

Anyway, I'll second John Waters:


"Tracy Turnblad, once again your ratted hair is preventing another student's geometry education... whatever you call it, it's a 'Hair-don't'"

"At least try and act white if you're on television"

"negroes, black boys!" (A psychologist using negative re-enforcement to try and stop Tracy's intergrationist views)

"I'd sooner jump in a river of snot!"

"Nice girls don't wear cha cha heels!"

"Hello? What number are you calling? You've dialed the wrong number! Sorry? What good is that? How can you ever repay the last thirty seconds you have stolen from my life? I hate you, your husband, your children, and your relatives!"

"Go home to your mother! Doesn't she ever watch you? Tell her this isn't some communist daycare center! Tell your mother I hate her! Tell your mother I hate you!"

"I'm out working my tail off all day, and you're in there, fuckin' MIDGETS!"

"It's those common Baltimore public schools. God, I wish I lived in Connecticut!"

"I'm gonna get an abortion and I can't WAIT!"

John Waters speaking to an anti-abortion christian: "I'm going to get a sex-change just so I can have an abortion and then throw it at you!"

And one of my favorite scenes is in Polyester when the housewife's perfect-middle-class fantasy of her family is falling apart she runs around spraying deodorant on everything saying manically: "Smells like normal, everything smells like normalcy now!"


I'd also add "Purple Rain" and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"


Apollonia (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0467664/): Will you help me?
The Kid (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002239/): No.
Apollonia (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0467664/): Pardon me?
The Kid (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002239/): Nope... Wanna know why?
Apollonia (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0467664/): Nope.
The Kid (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002239/): Because you wouldn't pass the initiation.
Apollonia (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0467664/): What initiation?
The Kid (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002239/): Well, for starters, you have to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
Apollonia (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0467664/): What?
The Kid (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002239/): You have to purify yourself in Lake Minnetonka.
[She strips down, and runs towards the lake]
The Kid (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002239/): Hey! Wait a minute! That's...
[She jumps in. She gets out shivering]
The Kid (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002239/): Uh, hold it...
Apollonia (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0467664/): What?
The Kid (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002239/): That ain't Lake Minnetonka.


(This whole movie is like a dada-esque random quote generator)

"This is my happening and it freaks me out!"

"You will drink the black sperm of my vengeance."

"You're a groovy boy. I'd like to strap you on sometime."

"Come on, man. I doubt if you'd recognize a hippie. I'm a capitalist, baby. I work for my living, not suck off somebody else."

"She was living in a single room with three other individuals. One of them was a male, and the other two, well the other two were females. God only knows what they were up to in there... and furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoked marijuana cigarettes... reefers."

"Step into my web said the spider... etcetera."

For me, I think "Bad Boy Bubby" is my most quoted movie. My co-worker and I watched it last year (I'd already seen it before that) and would quote it a lot. It's a really bizarre and dark film from Australia, and it's funny to say some of the lines in the way some of the characters say them, like "christ you're a queer roostah aint'cha?"

This quote is also from the film, and it's probably one of my favorite film quotes ever. The way the scene is shot when the quote is said is cool too, with two characters standing in a factory walkway, and as the camera pans out you see the immense scope of the factory they're in and how much engineering went into it, etc


You see, no one's going to help you Bubby, because there isn't anybody out there to do it. No one. We're all just complicated arrangements of atoms and subatomic particles - we don't live. But our atoms do move about in such a way as to give us identity and consciousness. We don't die; our atoms just rearrange themselves. There is no God. There can be no God; it's ridiculous to think in terms of a superior being. An inferior being, maybe, because we, we who don't even exist, we arrange our lives with more order and harmony than God ever arranged the earth. We measure; we plot; we create wonderful new things. We are the architects of our own existence. What a lunatic concept to bow down before a God who slaughters millions of innocent children, slowly and agonizingly starves them to death, beats them, tortures them, rejects them. What folly to even think that we should not insult such a God, damn him, think him out of existence. It is our duty to think God out of existence. It is our duty to insult him. Fuck you, God! Strike me down if you dare, you tyrant, you non-existent fraud! It is the duty of all human beings to think God out of existence. Then we have a future. Because then - and only then - do we take full responsibility for who we are. And that's what you must do, Bubby: think God out of existence; take responsibility for who you are.
