I've noticed that the message board has become.. stale lately. So I'm bringing up a question that millions of people have argued over and will continue to until Jason comes back from space and kills us all. What is the greatest movie quote of all time? Everything from the famous, "Luke, I am your father.", to the unforgettable, "This is my BOOMSTICK!", to the just plane awsome, "I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of bubble gum." What is the greatest movie quote... ever.
My nomination is From Dusk Till Dawn, shortly after a man named Sex Machine becomes a vampire and begins fighting his best freind. His freiend stands up, pumps his fists and yells,
"Come on, Sex Machine!"
A true and hilarious classic. Now, who's nominated next?

BTW, who else thinks that the new Star Wars flicks SUCK?!!
Yep. AOTC was a disappointment. They had a really untalented prick as Anakin and the cliched groan inducing Amadalia/ Anakin forbidden romance made me wanna puke. The rest of the film was good though. Can't wait ta get it on tape to fast foward past the whiny Ani parts

Aliens had some of the most memorable quotations ever. (It's "quotation," by the way, folks. "Quotation" is the noun. "To quote" is the verb.)
viz:
"I say we dust off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
"Hey, Vasquez! Have you ever been mistaken for a MAN?"
- "No. Haf you?"
and perhaps the best line ever uttered by a little girl in an action movie:
("These people are here to protect you. They're soldiers.")
"It won't make any difference." - Newt, from Aliens
I'm sure somebody else already nominated it, but it is:
"I kick ass for the Lord!"
Speaking of Aliens quotes:

yeah I did, someone up above commented about how the new star wars movie sucked and I was about to say it was better than Episode 2, then i realized the date it was posted and was like OH she's talking about Attack of the clones.

Okay, it's not really the Best Quote Ever, but I'm fresh off from having watched this crazy `80's horror flick, and just ga-ga over it! Always dig Donald Pleasance, and this line is delivered with his usual inimitable style.
From "J.C.V.H"

Not the best quote, but amusing...
From THE TERMINATOR..."Hey, buddy. Did you just see a real bright light?"
I always wondered what happened to that actor...

"She's uh... she's got sandy blonde hair. She's uh... pretty good looking face, but I'm just getting really... just kinda TO'd because... I mean she hasn't even sent me a full body shot yet. "

Nice reprimand, Zap. However common usage has negates your antiquated idea. "A quote" is indeed a noun, it isn't the fault of those on this board that your dictionary or dusty grammar book can't keep up with the dynamics of the linguistic dialectic. Besides, priggish purists seem to forget that if the meaning isn't muddled by the usage of a word, than there is no harm done. Were you honestly confused by the use of "quote" as noun, or where you just trying to get the full use of the five bucks you spent on whatever tome you extracted this tidbit from so you could get the intellectual upper hand?
To keep this from being a complete digression, one of my favorite quotes comes from Real Genius:
"I think Socrates put it best when he said, 'I drank what?'"
I thought of yet another particularly great quotation, and I'm amazed that it hasn't turned up in the thread so far (caps as a best attempt to recreate the odd emphasis of the words):
"PUT THE f**kING LOtion in the BARRsket!"
and its sister line,
"No, nuh-uh. Oh wait... was she a great big fat person? ?"
I always like to quote Hanibal: "Toughened your nipples, didn't it?", but no one remembers that line.
"Toughened your nipples" comes from Hannibal while he's in full regalia straight jacket, muzzle, etc.. while talking to the senator about her missing daughter. There was a segue into breast feeding that I can't quote line for line, but nevertheless he delivered it poignantly.
Here's one all of us are sure to roll our eyes at. From Herschell Gordon Lewis's Blood Feast, the two police officers are conversing about the murders:
"Looks like this is gonna be one of those looooong hard ones."
and of course how can you forget:
"Have you ever had an Egyptian Feast!?"
[musical fanfare]
"I've killed mothers with their babies
I've killed great philosophers
Proud young warriors and revolutionaries
I've killed the evil, the good,
the intelligent, the weak, and the beautiful.
I've done this in the service of His Divine Shadow and his predecessors,
and I've never once...shown any...mercy!"
Kinda cool when he says this, he's just about to kill everybody in the room, and he's an unstoppable assasin (you can chop him into pieces and he reassembles himself), so they're pretty much screwed. It's from Lexx 1.0 - I Worship His Shadow
