I can't remember if this subject has come up before, but what are some great movie lines you just can't resist using in certain circumstances.

Recently, I've been doing a lot of outside work on my house, and a friend of mine has been helping. Such hot work requires generous amounts of beer, and we've made a few trips to the local beer store. On passing the Heineken, I simply can't resist the urge to proclaim "Heineken? F--k that s--t! Pabst Blue Ribbon!" My friend hasn't even seen Blue Velvet, but thinks it's funny as hell.

Blue Velvet lines come up in my conversations, too, when making short movies with my friends. A while back, to get one of my friends more over the top, I showed him some clips of Dennis Hopper. Now, whenever anyone says something like "More feeling!" the response is usually something like "I'M GONNA WRITE YOU A F*CKING LOVE LETTER!!"

The Big Lebowski usually comes up when the phone rings: "Phone's ringing, Dude." "Thank you, Donnie."

Not a movie, but the Sex Pistols' hilariously botched cover of "Johnny B. Goode" is quoted a lot in my circle of friends, with lines like " 'Sf*ckin' ridiculose!" "Tohcha! AAAHHH!!" and "Oi, oi, oi! Steve!" (when trying to get someone's attention).

And for some reason, whenever anyone asks what day it is, I can't help blurting out "It's Christmas day, sir!" in a high-pitched British accent.

I haven't used it yet, but there will someday be a great moment when I can use "b***hes leave", said by Boddicker in Robocop.

I also like to spout off Freddy Krueger one liners, but they're usually never appropriate.  They just prove how much of a dork I am.

I like to use Ahnuld one liners (many from Commando), as well as Van Damme and Dolph ones.  These ones are usually not immediately recognizable.

But there's always at least one person that recognizes lines from Office Space.  And when they do, they end up repeating along with me.

HA! I do that too vermin boy! well I haven't said the christmas day one in a while ,lol.

Their is a scene in John Carpenter's THE THING (1982) in which after Kurt Russell's character kills "The Thing", which is in human form, the alien pulls it's own head off and turns into a strange spider-like creature that tries to crawl away. One of the characters, who sees this strange creature, says the line, "You gotta' be f**kin' kidding?"

I usually use that line when something strange or terrible happens to me. It might be a common piece of dialouge, but whenever I utter that dialouge out of my mouth I always think of that scene in THE THING.

Speaking of Ahnuld, "It's not a TOOMAH!" is always fun.
I use a lot of stuff from MST3K.  "Go ahead on, it's your move" is a favorite.  I answer my phone as either "Pork vacuum" or "Doughy has-been".

...I do my best indeterminate Christopher Lambert accent and say, "Lots of different places."

No one's gotten it yet.  Which I expect.

...whenever the subject of finding a piece of information that someone's written down comes up, I do my best denture-sucking Scottish accent and say:

"That's why I put it in the notebook -- so I wouldn't have to remember!"

Thank you, Acavano... (Wise Guys)

Look at those snapers (Romancing the Stone)

I'll be there soon... [If somebody asks how soon? I will answer back saying "Really soon... "] (Romancing the Stone)

FRom Space Ghost (i know it's not a movie)  
"Would you like to have some of my sex........with me?"

"I'll spin your head off so fast it'll travel back in time!"

(I want to say this when someone tells me I'm lying)
"The trueness of ones truth is clearly based on their venacular inaccuracies  )


THe Big Lebowski

"That's just like your opinion...man."
"What is this s**t?  This day of rest s**t?" (but i exchange day or rest with other things)

> "That's why I put it in the notebook -- so I wouldn't have to remember!"

I use variations on that one everytime somebody asks me about something I wrote in a letter or e-mail time ago.

I also use some dialogue from "The last boy scout", specially, as a mock threat "I'm gonna shove an umbrella up your ass and then open it". This uses to get lots of laughs in my circle.

I can't believe that someone else uses the "Lots of different places" voice from Highlander.  I thought there could be only one.

I like to use "No, wrong, false, none of the above!" in place of a simple "No", especially if I realize I've just done something incredibly stupid, like pressing rewind on the VCR instead of record.

Never get tired of this one; when the wife is going out of the room: "I hate to see you go, but I LOVE to watch you leave" [Face Off]

When my daughter is fighting a diaper change: "Resistance is Futile!" [First Contact]

The one I wish I could use on a overweight sales rep in my office: "Say your goodbyes, lardass, because you're already dead. EyyyyAAAAAAH!" [Fist of the Northstar]

Then there's my fave, but haven't found a use for it yet:  "When I played cowboys and Indians with my brothers, I was ALWAYS the Chinese railroad worker!" [Death To Smoochy]

It's been ages since I last used this one: "Today is groundhog daaaaaay!"

I used it a lot back in highscool to tell my friends something big was happenning that day. The line is taken from "Groundhog day", a 1993 comedy starring Bill Murray. Everyday he is awaken by the radio, and some people start yelling that very same line, annoying the hell out of him. For that reason, whenever it was used we tried to sound annoying while saying it.

"Day ain't over yet" - from City Slickers.  Somebody asked Curly (the surly trailboss) if he had ever killed anybody...I use it all the time.

Another great line from The Big Lebowski that I use sometimes

"This is what happens when you f**k a stranger in the ass!"

I like to use the famous line from GONE WITH THE WIND:

"As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again!" (Followed by a big order from McDonald's $1.00 menu).

I also like to say the famous line from PLANET OF THE APES:

"Take your stinking paws off of me, you damn dirty ape!" (Usually, when my wife tries to hug me . . . I PRAY TO GOD SHE NEVER READS THIS).

Everytime I'm shopping and there's craziness of shoppers and screaming children and shoving I have to delcare out loud "IT'S A MAHOUSE..A MAAADHOUSE" (from planet of the apes). I actually talk in moviequotes alot which is sad because nobody gets it be me. Apparently I'm too much of a movie buff for the world to handle. Admittedly Heston seems to pop out of my mouth the most. The last time was when I was trying to find a tv dinner I liked and the guy said they no longer carried it. As I walked off I was mumbling "You did it, you really did it. Damn you..god damn you all to hellll". Good thing he didn't call the 5-0

I think it would be a great idea to invent a pocket sized electronic keychain device which you can program with your favorite movielines to play at key moments. I mentioned this to a friend years ago. I would kill for such a device. ;-)

>Admittedly Heston seems to pop out of my mouth the most.

I'm not gonna touch that one! :)

Use a portable MP3 player.

here's some more I thought of from The Last Dragon

"Bow down and kiss my converse."

"Hey my man what it look like?"

from The Negotiator

"I'll shoot you where you one by one!" (usually say this when someone asks me a question like 'What would you do if I....?" folowed by something dumb)

not really from a movie but from the Nature Boy Ric Flair
"Like it or not you're gonna have to learn to love it because it's the best thing going."

from Jay and SIlent Bob
"Afleck was the bomb in Phantoms yo."

Great Idea - but i'd have to search for it and carry some kind of speaker. I need something that I can press a programmed button (of many) in which it plays so everyone can hear it. At this point people probably think i'm just crazy. I think whats even more frustrating is when I use movielines in conversation to illustrate a point or feeling and they don't "get it" because they don't watch film much. I need to get out more. ;-)

"All in the reflexes"-Jack Burton

and whenever I see Ben Affleck on TV I can't help but spout out the Mallrats line "he likes to have sex with women in a very uncomfortable place" and usually someone has the proper response of "Like in the back of a volkswagen?"

Every time I see a film starring or a picture of Keanu Reeves I have to yell out:

"YES WAY, TED!!!"

>I need something that I can press a programmed button (of many) in which it
>plays so everyone can hear it.

Ok, but for that you need to get more technical.

I've seen keychains with 4 buttons on them (my mother has one) and when you press one of the buttons, it plays one of 4 insults. What you need to do is get one of those, take it apart and get someone with electronics experience to desolder the ROM chip, program an EPROM with samples of 4 movie quotes you want and put it all back together for you. For more than that, get addition keychains. You can always stick two of them back-to-back and have 8 phrases available at the touch of a button.

i think i'm a great big cheezeball.
i'm a big user of lines from "History of the World Part 1"
the most commonly used one comes out in convo like this:

OTHER GUY: hey CoCo!  whereya been hiding?
ME: i just got back from the auto da fe
OTHER GUY: auto da..what?  what's an auto da fe?
ME: it's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway!

yeah it's cheezy, but i can't tell you HOW many people have ended up cowering in the corner of my mom's couch while my mother, my sister, i, and my mom's 4 year old goddaughter prance around the living room for 2 hours acting out the movie like it was RHPS night.  because invariably, when they ask what the heck i'm talking about, i lure them to my mom's to watch the film.

that's the pleasure of it.

History of the World has great lines.

"It's good to be da king."

And another I've used:

"Move that miserable piece of sh*t!"
Of course, you have to bellow it with the appropriate bulgining eyes and cracking voice.

yes, it's good to be da king.
and also, when someone asks me too many times to repeat what i just said, i eventually say "King Louiiiiiiiiiiiiiis" and hack and cough.  they just give up.

also if i hear anyone at ALL say "count the money" you KNOW what comes next!

oooh, and let's not forget "don't get saucy with ME Bearnaise!"

and for various reasons, i like to yell "FREEEE!  FREE!" like the old man does when he tries to release the dead birds.

"Are you talkin' to me?" - TAXI DRIVER

"A man's got to know his limitations." - MAGNUM FORCE

"Oh, but it looks good on you!" - CADDYSHACK

"You owe that man a cold drink." - COOL HAND LUKE

"Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes." - THE GODFATHER

"Do you boys wind if we dance with your dates?" - ANIMAL HOUSE

"Oscar! Where are the drinks?" - THE ODD COUPLE

Every line I needed to know in Life I learned from Army of Darkness:

Good . . . Bad . . . I'm the guy with the gun!

Wrong Book!

Honey, you got real ugly!

Primative Screwheads . . .

Baby, that's just what we call pillow talk.

Yo, she b***h. Let's go.

I said it! I did!

Come get some.

And the #1 Line of all:

Drum Rolllllllll


Shop smart, shop S-mart!




Rob

mine is :
when some one knocks on the door - "Who is it?
THEN, no matter who they say they are I reply with, "Dave? Dave's not here!"

Hey you forgot:

"Give me some sugar, baby!"

No I didn't, but I'm married . . . so I don't get to use that one anymore!

:-)

Rob

When he says some s**t like, "Loud mouth bragger?"

No, just me baby..

A line i just remembered i like using and did so just this afternoon during a meeting at work

"I'm as mad as hell, and i'm not gonna take this anymore!"

Needless to say i love my job

Haven't used this in a while, but I used to use it occasionally if I was walking somewhere, and the person with me was falling behind. In that nice, flat voice used to dub Harvey Keitel in Saturn 3 - "Hurry along please."

Needless to say, nobody got the reference.

My wife reminded me of a line from Eraser I use on her from time to time. When she warns me not to even think about doing something or other, I reply in my best Russian accent - "I think what I like, and I do what I like. You will soon learn about this."

I like to use the only funny line from Dude Where's My Car when ever anybody asks me something at work

"And then?"  I can normally say this once or twice before someone attempts to beat the hell out of me

for some reason me and my friends spend an unusual amount of time quoting numerous simpsons and southpark quotes, but also just at any real moment, we are prone to quoting dumb and dumber, especially "goodbye my loooove"

we are not even saying goodbye to anyone.  how fun! :D

"one stop shopping, everything you need, right at your fingertips"

"you can't polish a turd"

"oh man, we can't carry all that s**t!"

"Look pal, I know a punk when I see one, and I think I'm lookin at one right now"

"Lock and Load"

"Look, you guys got a  lot of laws, right? Well let me tell you suttin'.  A kid who tells on another kid, is a dead kid."

OK, where are they from and when do you use them?

Dawn of the Dead, Christine, Halloween 4, and Over the Edge.  My brother and I speak movie line language to each other.  No one else knows what the hell we are talking about.  Pretty funny.  My bro also does a killer imitation of Darnell from Christine.

Some good places to use B-movie lines....
"Good,bad, i'm the one with the shotgun" = Your not my supervisor, so i don't have to do it.
"This is no boating accident." = we can't blaim the copier this time.
"Son of a b***h must pay". = The sanese coffie machine is doomed!
"You are part of the rebel alliance, and a traitor.Take her away!" = if you don't pony up for the gas, get the bus to Clevelend.

"Groovy"

-the first  rule of fat club-

I know its not a movie.. "What a maroon!" and "What an imbessall"-Bugs Bunny.

"Life is a storm, my young friend.  You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next.  What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes."

-Jim Caviezel
'The Count of Monte Cristo'


Heck of a line.    Wish there were more like 'em

Whores don't get a second chance.
Identity

I always want to completely memorize Mathias's "It was all a nightmare" speech from the end of Omega Man, and drop that one once in awhile.

"Hold me... like you held that duck."

-Young Doctors in Love

I remember some time ago whenever I was getting ready to go out, I would run out of the room and scream "I look like f**king Stevie Nicks!"  For those who saw Sid and Nancy would get it.  :)

Another I used was from Dr. Strangelove "A guy could have a good time in Vegas with all this stuff."
