Best movie or tv quotes


Mine is this from the Doctor Who episode The Face of Evil (1977):

“You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alters their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit the views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.”

‘Uh huh, I know what you’re thinking. ‘Did he shoot six shots or five??

But seeing as this a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and could blow your head clean off you better ask yourself, do I feel lucky?

Do you feel lucky punk…?”

Can you name this movie KiwiDude😎

reply

Hmmm 🤔

Of course, seen Dirty Harry once or twice! I’m a big Eastwood fan, both his acting and directing. That quote’s a classic 👍

reply

🎯

Great movie, correct.

I do not know which would be the best, but " The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am" is funny enough.

reply

I love ROTJ.

P.s it's actually "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am". But yes, it's a great quote. Really highlights how merciless Palps is. Admiral Piett's reaction is also priceless.

reply

Oh, thank you. I have edited it.
....poor Admiral Piett.

Well, we can get the obvious ones out of the way....

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse"

"Go ahead, make my day"

"I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope"

"You're gonna need a bigger boat"

A lesser known personal fave.....

"But judgement of any system or a priori relation of phenomena exists in any rational or metaphysical or at least epistemological contradiction to an abstract and empirical concept such as being or to be or to occur in the thing itself or of the thing itself."

"Yeah, I've said that many times"

Can anyone name the film this is from (without looking it up)?????

Anything from Johnny on Airplane:

Johnny : This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

Reporter : What kind of plane is it?
Johnny : Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

reply

Great pick! He is definitely my favorite character in Airplane other than Leslie Nelson.

reply

Yes, they both always crack me up. I learned my sense of humor from people like them, and my dad. 😊

The best ones for me are the ones that made me laugh:

Sallah (to Indiana Jones): "Asps. Very dangerous. You go first." - Raiders of the Lost Ark

Boss Hogg (to Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane): "You jackass! If you caught the Golden Goose you'd boil it for breakfast! Black-market firearms are worth a fortune and you called the FBI! Well you just go and meet those FBI agents and you tell 'em you were drunk! Or having fits! Or better still, you just act natural and they'll know you're deranged! Whatever scheme your little mind can manage, you get the FBI out of Hazzard County! Or I'll divorce your fat sister and send her back to live with you!" - The Dukes of Hazzard

Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (after side-swiping a parked car while in "hot pursuit"): "You ought'n't've parked there in the first place! I'll give him a six-oh-three. Probably a drunk parker!" - The Dukes of Hazzard

Beavis: "What did people do before they had TV?"
Butt-Head: "Don't be stupid Beavis! There's always been TV! There's just a lot more channels now." - Beavis and Butt-Head

Butt-Head: "If meat's bad for you, then how come it's food?" - Beavis and Butt-Head

Beavis: "Wow, look at that! They almost showed that chick's butt!"
Butt-Head: "Yeah, but close only counts in horseshoes and like, uh, lemonade or something." - Beavis and Butt-Head

Nada: "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum." - They Live

Yosemite Sam: "Ya double-crossers! I'm-a-comin' back and I ain't comin' back to play marbles!" - Looney Tunes

reply

From the top of my head the best one I can think of right now is from Schwarzenegger in True Lies "You're fired".

The all time classic is probably "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which has more great quotes than I could list here. You know, like "the answer is 42, but maybe you don't know what the question is".
