OK - there are a ton of quotes from Mel Brooks movies out there - like "I am hysterical and wet" from "The Producers" - but my fave is this - from "Blazing Saddles".

"Stand back while I whip this out" - Cleavon Little as he pulls out the declaration that his character is the Sheriff.

Not typically the picky type, but, because it's possibly my favorite all-time movie quote, it's actually, "Excuse me, while I whip this out!"

I voted for Jack, because I love that Jaws quote so much. Plus, Dirty Harry. I like Jen's list, too, but I think that the best quote on the list was, "Zed's dead, baby".

Well to START, I was hoping (aka pushing) for ANY quote from one of my all-time favorite movies, "Casablanca," such as:

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

"Here's looking at you, kid."

"Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time."

"Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"

Yeah, I don't care how cliche that is.

[elias]

Well I agree Tev - Saddles makes my top 5 comedies, but I like "Where the white women at?" or "ditto? you provincial putz" or "I hate that cliche!" or "Can't you see this man's a nit!".

While we're on Bogart - "stinking badges" is from Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the classic John Huston.

What about the last line from "Sleepers"? Anyone ever see this movie? It's SO sad, but really powerful. Anyway, if you've seen the movie, you'll get why the last line is so awesome:

"The future lay sparkling ahead, and we thought we would know each other forever."

[Colleen]

OH OH Before I forget, these are all off the top of my head, I KNOW I am forgetting a bunch, but I have like 20 gazillion and it's getting waaaaay too long, so I'll put it in spoilers:

"You had me at hello." -Jerry McGuire

"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 kind of lost track myself. But being as 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 a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" -Dirty Harry

"If it bleeds, we can kill it." -Predator

Leia: I love you.
Han: I know.

"We named the dog Indiana!" -Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade

"Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. And it will." -Hope Float

"I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if ya never take it seriosuly, ya never get hurt, ya never get hurt, ya always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends." -Almost Famous

Silence of the Lambs time:

"No. We begin by coveting what we see every day. Don't you feel eyes moving over your body, Clarice? And don't your eyes seek out the things you want?"

"If I help you, Clarice, it will be "turns" with us too. Quid pro quo. I tell you things, you tell me things. Not about this case, though. About yourself. Quid pro quo. Yes or no?"

"It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again."

"Brave Clarice. You will let me know when those lambs stop screaming, won't you?"

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."

“Never let anyone make you feel like you don’t deserve what you want.” -10 Things I Hate About You

"I always thought of myself as a house. I was always what I lived in. It didn't need to be big. It didn't even need to be beautiful. It just needed to be mine. I became what I was meant to be. I built myself a life. I built myself a house." -Life As a House

"Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give into this, or I can resist it", and I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one." -Closer

Larry: She doesn't want to be happy.
Dan: Everybody wants to be happy.
Larry: Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy, they couldnt be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing. -Closer

The Garden State round! (P.S. Jay didn't know Zach Braff was from New Jersey til about 20 seconds ago)

Andrew Largeman: F*ck, this hurts so much.
Sam: I know it hurts. But it's life, and it's real. And sometimes it f*cking hurts, but it's life, and it's pretty much all we got.

"He's just a fast food knight"

"Good luck exploring the infinite abyss"

"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. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place."

"By the way, it says BALLS on your face."

"If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like."

"I got a little buzz going...and I like you. So there's that. I guess I have that."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aaaaaand finally, for all those who are still reading:

Sam: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil... between me... and the wheel of fire! I can see him... with my waking eyes!
Sam: Then let us be rid of it... once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you! -Return of the King

"I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things." -ROTK

"Well, I'm back." -ROTK

Yeah so Jay can't use me as an excuse for his crappy movie quotes...

Due to the disappearing iTunes trick, I haven't listened to the Ramblecast, but one of my favorite and most used movie lines of all times is "I don't think that word means what you think it means." Princess Bride.

And the "Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy" quote from Buckaroo Banzai made me exalt CarcinoGenny (Oh. CarcinoGen. I just got it. Brutal). Another great one from that movie: "Why a watermelon?"

Someone else knows Buckaroo? w00t!
My often quoted one from that is more than one line so I didn't put it in but it's
"Work, work, work....
Where are we going!?
Planet 10.
When!?
Real soon."



And wait...nobody's gotten my name till now? Well at least one did and I exalt you back a hundredfold...well...ok as much as one can exalt another here...

I guess I get one exalt, but I would for pointing out the sierra madre thing.

[monsterjester]

"Prayer, Mr. Saavik. The Klingons don't take prisoners."
"Beware Romulans bearing gifts."
"'...revenge is a dish that is best served cold.' It is very cold in space."
"He had to get back in time to blow you to bits."
"...creatures...in our ears..."
"He stayed at his post...when the trainees ran."
"Not so wounded as we would like to believe...so much the better."
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

Seriously - having not seen The Usual Suspects is a travesty - especially for a Lost fan who likes plot twists.

Log onto Netflix, or go to blockbuster, order it, watch it. A great movie - the best that Kevin Spacey has been in, and he's been in a lot of good movies.

btw - Jen gets my vote for the wider breadth of genre in her quotes...

[elias]

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room"

[Zoso the Rock God]

ATTICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Austin]

Ahem "I picked the wrong week to stop sniffin glue..." -Airplane!

[uncaged]

I know you had one Batman quote Jack, but how about:
"Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight?"
or
"Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?"
or
"I've been dead once already; it's very liberating. You might think of it as... therapy"

Gotta show the joker some love too...lol
