Be Excellent To Each Other

So, I've been giving this one some thought, and I think the best line in a movie ever is the reply to "Can you break a log like that?" by Mr. Keisuke Miyagi:
"Don't know. Never been attacked by tree."

What about you crazy kids?

Everything that Ash says in Evil Dead II.

I like the part in BTTF3 when Marty and Doc swap catchphrases.

Marty - GREAT SCOTT!
Doc - I know, this is heavy!

Not a contender for *best* but one of my faves. I'll have a think for best.

Did he only have one line?

Ok then:
[As Ash cuts his own hand off with a chainsaw]
Ash: "That's right... who's laughing now... who's laughing NOW?"

It's all in the delivery.


Also: "Groovy".

Anything that Admiral/President Benson says in Hot Shots! or Hot Shots! Part Deux

Ed Hocken in Naked Gun: "The doctors say Nordberg has a 50/50 chance of living, although there's only a 10% chance of that."

Best visual gag also goes to Naked Gun. You've got some food on the side of your mouth, Al.

"Cmaaaaaaaan, pelican "

That's a good one.

"Just going to the kitchen to get some food, then I'm going to tell you a story that will make your balls shrink to the size of raisins."

"Greetings from The Humungus! The Lord Humungus! The Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla! "

(one for the Junglists)

or about half of The Big Lebowski

or pretty much all of Withnail and I, especially


God, there's tons...

Rockers! I think you're the only other person I know who has watched it.

"Morning, Curly! Killed anyone today?"
"Day ain't over yet."

No, no there isn't. There's one. It's the best one.

You mean, "There can be only one!".

"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something."

I like "We're gonna need a bigger boat".

Not only can you use it when you're trying to kill a massive shark but you can use it to announce the arrival of a lass who appears to be "larger than life" but with a great personality.

My favourite of all time is from Bladerunner, but it's not the one everyone always goes to ("I've seen things you wouldn't believe...".) No, my favourite is:

Adult language John Barrowman in Shark attack 3

I'm very fond of this. Also: pretty much every other line in The Princess Bride.

Also: the punchline to this scene.

(Although that's not as good as my favourite gag in Police Squad - "Who are you, and how did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.")

I like this one from Enter The Dragon:

"We've got no food, we've got no jobs, our pets heads are falling off!"

"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

My fave Ash line is 'I slept too long.


I SLEPT TOO LOOOOONG!'

Probably almost anything said by Captain Renault in 'Casablanca', but other than the obligatory 'shocked! shocked!' line and 'I'm only a poor corrupt official' I always think his best line is:

What? No Ghostbusters quotes? Incredible.

Also pretty much any mamet movie is a veritable quote fest.

EG. State and Main - "Joseph Turner White: How do I do a film called "The Old Mill" when I don't have an old mill?
Ann Black: Well, first you've got to change the title. "

It's the truth that you should never trust anybody who wears a bow tie. Cravat's supposed to point down to accentuate the genitals. Why'd you wanna trust somebody whose tie points out to accentuate his ears?

What does he like?
14-year-old girls.
Well, get him something else. We want to get out of this town alive. Get him half a 28-year-old girl. How's my math?

As incredible as your thread reading skills.

One submission each you cunts!

What's that from?

Of course it's a movie. Like Grease is a movie.

Surely, surely it must be Ernie Hudson's line in Ghostbusters: "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!!"

Or the bit in Ghostbusters 2 where they're in the abandoned subway line:

Ray: "Hellooooo!"
Echo: Hellooooo!

Egon: "Hey!"
Echo: Hey!

Winston: "Hello!"
Echo: .............WIINSTOOON!!!!!

'Fuck you! That's my name. You know why, Mister? Because you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight; I drove an eighty-thousand BMW. That's my name!'

If I had to choose one from the Ghostbusters films (one because otherwise neither are best) I'd probably have to go with the good old "It's true. This man has no dick."

Waaaaaariors... come out to pla-ay

(It was either that or some of those one-liners from old Arnie films like Predator or Commando).

Can you fly, Bobby?

Also, pretty much everything Lord Summerisle says in The Wicker Man.

Can you fly, you sucker?!

The best line in a SILENT movie is in Buster Keaton's 'The General', after Keaton's character is prevented from enlisting in the Confederate Army:



When I saw it on the big screen with a large audience and a live pianist, it brought the house down!

If we were doing TV shows I might well have to go with:

"We've gone on holiday by mistake."

"Stop saying that Withnail, of course he's the fucking farmer!"

A fucking farmer. It's one of the few films I can watch regularly and enjoy every time. That and Blade Runner. And The Empire Strikes Back. And Rushmore. And 2001: A Space Odyssey. And the Big Lebowski. And The Remains of the Day.

A farmer?

The farmer!

Shut up.

Look at him, of course he's the fucking farmer.

Nice marmot.

At the risk of a Withnail derailment I humbly submit that



cannot be surpassed.

I don't know about the best, but for funny quotes I love Lake Placid

Hector has found a big toe and holds it up
Hector: Is this the man that was killed?
Sherrif: He seemed... taller.

I've already done my absolute favourite, but "there is no Spoon" from Dog Soliders might be in my top 10. Maybe even my top 5.

I think "Well I'll count, won't I?" is the best one from Dog Soldiers. It's an excellent film.
