Al Pacino's allegedly cocaine-fueled performance in Heat, especially the classic, "She's got a h.......GREAT ASS! And your head's stuck all the way up it!" Plus most of what Christian Bale was given to say in American Psycho. The first Anchorman film had a few amazing quotes: "Milk was a bad choice", "60% of the time, it works every time!"
@@ivandksd What makes that last line even more powerful is that Rutger Hauer altered the script and wrote it himself. It's powerful, poetic and deeply tragic, and forces you to understand that even though he was a replicant and a killer, Batty had a human soul. Talk about getting into your character. It gets me every damned time and it gets my vote as the greatest line in cinema.
"You're going to need a bigger boat." "He has his father's eyes." "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse." "I feel the need, the need for speed." "Hasta la vista, baby." "I am Spartacus!" "A boy's best friend is his mother." "If I could sing a song about the way I feel right now, it'd be a hit."
"Get busy living or get busy dieing" from Shawshank is a classic and profound quote and "Screws fall out all the time the world is an imperfect place" from Breakfast Club is a hilarious and also sneakingly profound quote from John Bender, the criminal. "You blew it up...oh damn you, Damn you all to hell!!!" from the original Planet Of The Apes perfectly encapsulates Taylor's angst and man's inherent stupidity and destructive tendencies. Heston also hams up a storm here 😀
"Listen, Miles. You're my friend, and I know you care about me. And I know you disapprove, and I respect that. But there are some things that I have to do that you don't understand. You understand literature, movies, wine...but you don't understand my plight." --Jack, in Sideways
I can't believe no one mentioned the greatest quote of all time: "Feed me Seymour! Feed me!". For years I had only seen the "lite" ending, and when I finally came across the directors cut ending... just wonderful!🌻🔥🌏🌎🌍
It's not a profound line and it doesn't really have any subtextual meaning, but I always get CHILLS when Max Von Sydow yells "I cast you out!" in The Exorcist. It's just an incredible reading.
I feel exactly the same way about Star Trek Generations. I think Picard's line at the end of the film "Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is companion, who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment. Because they'll never come again" is the more quotable line in the movie. That and "Oh Shit!" LOL
Amadeus - "If God didn't want me to praise him with music then why implant the desire? Like a lust in my body." Honestly every line from the theatrical release is quotable for me. I'm not as much of a fan of the directors cut. Sacrilege to some I'm sure. You're probably never going to see this but your channel is pretty cool. Thanks
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you, no matter what. No matter what happens. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life.” ----Rocky Balboa
I really like this quote said by Kirk Douglas in The Devil's Disciple: “That’s the worse of conducting one’s life on the very highest principles. One false step, and you have such a long ways to fall. Are you afraid of heights Mrs. Anderson? Do they keep tempting you to throw yourself over the precipice? I think you find the view down below almost irresistible. So you take yourself and your principles higher and higher, in the hopes of getting away from them. But of course-the higher you go, the more irresistible it becomes. Doesn’t it?” One of my favorite movies, and one of the greatest plays as well. Although that part is not actually in Shaw's play. Here's another favorite quote from one of my personal favorite movies, All About Eve, said by George Sanders. “I think the time has come for you to shed some of your humility. It is just as false not to blow your horn at all, as it is to blow it too loudly…We all come into this world with our little egos equipped with individual horns. If we don’t blow them, who else will?” One can see this in the movie as a diabolical sophistry about vanity asserted by a psychopath who's using it like a cold scalpel on Anne Baxter's brain. But there's still much truth in that. Especially since I like to say, "Life is too short for modesty." And here's another quote I love from my favorite movie, Trouble in Paradise, by my favorite director Ernst Lubitsch. “It must be the most marvelous supper. We may not eat it-but it must be marvelous...And waiter? You see that moon? I want to see that moon in the champagne.” It seems absurd. But I just love the great playful imagination, as he's dreaming out loud, and imagery and all that's left unsaid (all things typical of a Lubitsch film). I also love what Roger Ebert said about the movie. "It is about people who are almost impossibly adult, in that fanciful movie way-so suave, cynical, sophisticated, smooth and sure that a lifetime is hardly long enough to achieve such polish. They glide...They live in a movie world of exquisite costumes, flawless grooming, butlers, grand hotels in Venice, penthouses in Paris, cocktails, evening dress, wall safes, sweeping staircases, nightclubs, the opera and jewelry, a lot of jewelry. What is curious is how real they manage to seem, in the midst of the foppery..."
_""Can you forgive a pig-headed old fool for having no eyes to see with, no ears to hear with, all these years?"_ - the redeemed version of Scrooge, to the fiancé of his nephew, who he had been bitterly attacking at the start of the movie. There's a lot of memorable quotes in that movie, but for me that's the one which packs the most emotional punch.
12 ANGRY MEN - 3rd JUROR - "When he was sixteen we had a battle. He hit me in the face. He's big, y'know. I haven't seen him in two years. Rotten kid!!!!!! You work your heart out!!!!...(pauses because catches that he has reveled more than he wanted)
A bit to old, I know, but one of my favorite quotes in a movie is "Yeah, well, sometimes nothing can be a really cool hand" from the movie Cool Hand Luke of course.
"When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are." - Smokey and the Bandit (1977)
A gun rack?... A gun rack... I don't even own "ah" gun, let alone MANY guns, that would necessitate an entire rack... What am I gonna do... with a gun rack? - Wayne's World
"I've come here with no expectations... only to profess now that am at I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is, and always will be... yours." Sense and Sensibility (1995)
“Me love you long time.” “Say hello to my little fren.” “Who do I have to lay around here to get a drink?” “That’s a bingo.” “You talking to me?” “I’m walking here.”
_"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..._ _Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion..._ _I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate._ _All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..._ _Time to die._ -- said after Batty *saves the life* of Deckard while in the middle of a heavy rain. Among other things, it explains *why* he saved Deckard's life. Batty's fight was not a desire to kill Deckard, it was a fight to continue to experience life.
Boy brings coffee on the plane asks the girl sitting next to him drinking coffee "Cream"? The Girl :"No thank you i take it black like my men" Airplane 1980
Lovely again. Did not realise this question was going to end up as a video, how gullible of me... I must say a lot of the quotes presented in this video needed a good actor to bring them to life. I have this white walled living room and perhaps I'll be thinking of you as I paint it red
I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye. I was never able to thank my father for all I learned from him. To tell him, without his lessons, I would never have survived. - Life of Pi (2012)
Arthur Bannister: 'Killing you is killing myself. It's the same thing. But, you know, I'm pretty tired of both of us.' 'You know, for a smart girl, you make a lot of mistakes. You should have let me live. You're going to need a good lawyer.'
This is a really strange one to have as a favorite that I never see anybody else mention, but one of mine is: "My purpose in coming here tonight was twofold. Firstly, I wanted to aid this young lady. Secondly, I was curious to see how a bunch of empty-headed nitwits conducted themselves. My curiosity is satisfied, I assure you, it'll be a pleasure for me to go back to a society of *really* important people." -Godfrey, My Man Godfrey It became one of my favorite movies on the spot. 😁
Five Easy Pieces: Bobby: Okay, I’ll make it as easy for you as I can. I’d like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce and a cup of coffee. Waitress: A #2, chicken salad sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else? Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven’t broken any rules. Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh? Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.
"What we do in life, echoes in eternity." - General Maximus in Gladiator before the battle of Vindobona. "FREEDOM!!!" - William Wallace in Braveheart after being tortured, mutilated and before being beheaded.
To me a great quote is something that makes me think "I wish I'd written that". Didn't think it was possible to do a video about great movie quotes without mentioning Chinatown (probably the best script ever written), The Sweet Smell Of Success, or Out Of the Past. Having a large frame of reference is, indeed, a bitch. (Sorry Maggie, Magnificent Ambersons is a mess-- not Welles fault but an incomplete mess is what we've been left with.)
