I want a list of film quotes where someone states something so incredibly obvious you smack your head and say "DOY!"

The Burgomaster

PLAN 9 has a ton of them.  Here's the most "obvious":

"Inspector Clay is dead — murdered — and somebody's responsible!"


"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Raffine

Probably the most famous example:

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto!"
If you're an Andy Milligan fan there's no hope for you.

"Bride of The Monster" has one. This is not verbatim, but it goes something like this.

Captain Robbins: Did you find anything?
L.t. Craig: Nothing.
Captain Robbins: And nothing this time too.

There is kind of a jump edit before the captain replies, it's almost as if the scene was shot twice with alternate dialogue, and then badly edited.
The result is a very redundant reply from Captain Robbins.

I like "Future events like this will effect you in the future!"

Drat, got to it before I did, Burgo.
Oh, the unintended joy that is PLAN 9.  :bouncegiggle:

I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

Two classics we all know and love:

"It's a trap!"

"He choose... poorly."

Also from The Last Airbender:

Haru: Dad! (to the Aang) This is my father.

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

In every "Super Friends" the characters explain down to the last detail everything they are about do.
Typical episode:

Wonder Woman: I'll use my magic lasso (While using magic lasso).
Superman: My heat vision should do the trick (Superman uses heat vision).
Batman: Robin and I will use the Batcopter (and surprise, surprise they use the Batcopter).

Ah, so that's where they got the idea for Audio Discription for the Blind...

The Burgomaster

How about the hundreds or thousands of movies where there's a villain or natural disaster looming in the distance and someone says, "Run!" or "We gotta get out of here!"

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

zombie no.one

there's this really bad horror film called Steel Trap

at one point some guy goes "The phones are down...what does this mean?" and the girl replies "It means we can't use the phones", but not in a sarcastic way.

Trevor

In the movie Tiger Joe, an aeroplane crashes and David Warbeck says: "He crashed! Come on!"  :tongueout:
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Not unlike every anime in which a pilot must shout out the name of every weapon he uses.
