And one of the funniest from American Psycho:

Patrick Bateman: Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as, uh, anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your ass. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and, uh, Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

He vexes me. I'm completely vexed!

Here's a couple of my favorites:

"Game over, man! GAME OVER!!!" - Bill Paxton, Aliens. (And Sigourney Weaver's challenge to the Alien Queen from the same film: "Get away from her, you bitch!")

--"Did you see him?"
--"That wasn't a 'him,' that was a fucking it! We've got to get bigger guns!!!" - Rutger Hauer and Neil Duncan, Split Second

"I said I didn't have much use for a pistol. Never said I didn't know how to use one..." Tom Selleck to a mortally-wounded Alan Rickman at the climax of Quigley Down Under, after Rickman's character and several surviving minions foolishly challenged Selleck's "Quigley" to a gunfight with Colt revolvers instead of "Quigley's" preferred Sharps rifle.

"No fighting in the War Room!" - from Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove.

And - the all-time greatest movie pick-up line ever, "Gimme some sugar, baby." - Bruce Campbell to Embeth Davidtz, Army of Darkness. (An invitation which, needless to say, works only in a movie. I once saw someone try out Campbell's line in a nightclub - no, it wasn't me; I'm not that stupid - and the girl promptly knocked the guy on his ass.)

I like 'Zeds dead baby, Zeds dead'

"Where do these stairs go?"
"Up."

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga...gunga -- gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."
-Carl, Caddyshack

"I'm an alien hunting a criminal alien loose on earth and committing murders. I guess, Detective, you've got nothing in procedures to handle that."

A Few Good Men has so many:

Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You see Danny, I can deal with the bullets, and the bombs, and the blood. I don't want money, and I don't want medals. What I do want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform and with your Harvard mouth extend me some fucking courtesy. You gotta ask me nicely.

Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you dont talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Mr. Trask: Mr. Sims, you are a cover-up artist and you are a liar. Col. Frank Slade: But not a snitch!
Trask: Excuse me?
Slade: No, I don't think I will. This is such a crock of shit.
Trask: Mr. Slade, you will watch your language. You are at the Baird School now not a barracks. Now Mr. Sims I will give you one final opportunity to speak up.
Slade: Mr. Sims doesn't want it. He doesn't need to labeled, "...still worthy of being a 'Baird Man.'" What the hell is that? What is your motto here? Boys, inform on your classmates, save your hide. Anything short of that we're gonna burn you at the stake? Well, gentlemen. When the going gets tough, some guys run and some guys stay. Here's Charlie--facing the fire, and there's George--hiding in big Daddy's pocket. And what are you gonna do? You're gonna reward George, and destroy Charlie.
Trask: Are you finished, Mr. Slade?
Slade: No. I'm just gettin' warmed up. Now I don't know who went to this place--William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bryant, William Tell--whoever. Their spirit is dead; if they ever had one, it's gone. You're building a rat ship here. A vessel for sea going snitches. And if you think your preparing these minnows for manhood you better think again. Because I say you are killing the very spirit this institution proclaims it instills. What a sham! What kind of show are you guys puttin' on here today. I mean, the only class in this act is sittin' next to me. And I say, this boy's soul is in tact. It is non-negotiable. You know how I know. Because someone here--I'm not gonna say who--offered to buy it. Only Charlie here wasn't selling.
Mr.Trask: Sir, you are out of order!
Slade: Out of order, I'll show you out of order! You don't know what out of order is Mr.Trask! I'd show you but I'm too old, I'm too tired, and I'm too fuckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago I'd take a flame-thrower to this place. Out of order, who the hell do you think you're talking to? I've been around you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen, boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit, there is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot-soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs but I say that you are executing his soul. And why? Because he's not a Baird man. Baird men, you hurt this boy, you're going to be Baird Bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, fuck you too.
Mr. Trask: Stand down Mr. Slade!
Slade: I'm not finished! Now as I came in here, I heard those words...cradle of leadership. Well, when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. And it has fallen here, it has fallen! Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you're producing here. Now, I don't know if Charlie's silence here today is right or wrong; I'm no judge or jury. But I can tell you this: he won't sell anybody out to buy his future! And that my friends is called integrity, that's called courage. Now that's the stuff leaders should be made of. (pause) Now I have come to the crossroads in my days, and I have always known the right path, always, without exception, I knew. But I never took it, you know why? Because it's too damn hard. Now here's Charlie; he's come to the crossroads. And he's chosen a path, it's the right path. It's a path made of principle, that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy's future in your hands committee! It's a valuable future. Believe me! Don't destroy...protect it...embrace it. It's gonna make you proud some day...I promise

Henry V

(Branagh's version -- possibly the most frightening and brutal soliloquy the Bard ever wrote.)

Therefore, you men of Harfleur,

Take pity of your town and of your people,

Whiles yet my soldiers are in my command;

Whiles yet the cool and temperate wind of grace

O'erblows the filthy and contagious clouds

Of heady murder, spoil and villany.

If not, why, in a moment look to see

The blind and bloody soldier with foul hand

Defile the locks of your shrill-shrieking daughters;

Your fathers taken by the silver beards,

And their most reverend heads dash'd to the walls,

Your naked infants spitted upon pikes,

Whiles the mad mothers with their howls confused

Do break the clouds, as did the wives of Jewry

At Herod's bloody-hunting slaughtermen.

What say you? will you yield, and this avoid,

Or, guilty in defence, be thus destroy'd?

Carolyn: How dare you speak to me that way in front of her. And I marvel that you can be so contemptuous of me, on the same day that you LOSE. YOUR. JOB.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

...And another good scene, this one from the 1980s action film Wanted Dead or Alive, with Rutger Hauer (again; Rutger had some great roles) as a bounty hunter and Gene Simmons as Hauer's terrorist quarry in the film. Remember the part where Hauer captures Simmons, stuffs a live grenade in his mouth and walks Simmons over to the waiting FBI agents, leading Simmons around by hooking a finger through the pull-ring on the grenade like a dog on a leash?

RANDALL (Rutger Hauer): "...I'll pick up the bonus myself."

RANDALL then looks at MALIK (Gene Simmons), who is choking on the grenade in his mouth. Deliberately, he takes MALIK by the jaw with one hand, hooks a finger through the pull-ring on the grenade -

RANDALL: "Aaah, fuck the bonus."

-and pulls the pin and walks away. FBI agents run screaming from the terrified MALIK, who explodes.

"....wanted in fifteen counties of this state, the condemned standing before us...sitting before us...Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez, also known as the Rat, has been found guilty by the third district circuit court of the following crimes: Murder, assaulting a justice of the peace, raping a virgin of the white race, statuatory rape of a minor of the black race...derailing a train in order to rob the passengers, bank robbery, highway robbery, robbing an unknown number of Post Offices, breaking out of the state prison, using marked cards and loaded dice, promoting prostitution, blackmail, intention of selling fugitive slaves, and counterfeiting. Crimes against places of high authority include burning down the courthouse and sheriff's office in Sonora. The accused is also guilty of cattle rustling, horse thievery, supplying Indians with firearms...misrepresenting himself as a Mexican General, unlawfully drawing salarly and living allowances from the Union Army.

What is your major malfunction, nunbnuts? - Full Metal Jacket

The whole first scene of that movie is a goldmine of quotes:

"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day, you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on earth. You're not even human fucking beings. You're nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like me! But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops, or greasers. Here, you are all equally worthless! And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that?"

"Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little communist shit twinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant?"

"Holy dogshit! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy! And you don't look much like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down."

"Looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your momma's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress. I think you've been cheated!"

"I am not a human being, I am an animal". Danny DeVito as The Penguin in Batman parodying John Hurt in The Elephant Man.

"The price is wrong, bitch." - Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore after he beats the crap out of Adam Sandler's character.

How about Arnold Schwarzenegger's great line from Predator when Arnold finally comes face-to-face with the Predator itself? Arnold takes one look at the alien and gasps, "You're ... one ... UGLY ... motherfucker!"

...Pretty much everything Arnold's Predator co-star Jesse Ventura had to say in the film also qualified as a great movie line, such as this exchange between Ventura's "Blaine" and one of his fellow commandos in the raid on the guerilla base:

--"Blaine, you're hit. You're bleeding."

--"I ain't got time to bleed."

--"OK. You got time to duck?" BLAM!

The simple, untouched best is Blake's (Alec Baldwin's) speech from Glengarry Glen Ross. Nothing comes close. (Trivia: not from the orig. play. Mamet wrote specifically for the movie. Wonder if it's made it's way into the new stage revival?)

Also love the line: "Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Three Orange Whips," delivered by John Candy in Bluesbrothers. Something about his inappropriate joviality in delivering it cracks my shit up. Use it sometimes when out w/ friends and the bar maid first comes over. No one knows where comes from or why I bother- not sure why myself, really - but, still, always funny to me.

Bernstein: A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl.

Bernstein: Old age. It's the only disease, Mr. Thompson, that you don't look forward to being cured of.
