Here are some random movie quotes. I’ll leave the more known ones off like “May the Force Be With You”, “If you build it, he will come”, and I’ll Be Back.
Animal House – Oh no! Seven years of college down the drain!
High Fidelity – What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
Jurassic Park – “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Citizen Kane – You’re right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars next year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I’ll have to close this place in… 60 years.
Annie Hall – “I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.”
Napoleon Dynomite – “Napoleon, don’t be jealous ’cause I’ve been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I’m training to become a cage fighter.”
The Big Lebowski – I had a rough night and I hate the f**king Eagles, man.
Superfly – You’re gunna give all this up? Eight Track Stereo, color T.V. in every room, and can snort a half a piece of dope everyday?! That’s the American Dream
Reservoir Dogs – ” If you beat him long enough he’ll say he started the G**damn Chicago fire, but that don’t necessarily make it f**king so!”
Goodfellas – Whenever we needed money, we’d rob the airport. To us, it was better than Citibank.
Goldfinger – “A martini. Shaken, not stirred.”
Some great films here…napoleon dynamite is a treasure trove of good lines.

Jeremy’s right, “Napoleon Dynamite” is full of great lines. Love “High Fidelity” and that line always stands out. I watched “Annie Hall” just this past weekend with the sweetie; gotta say the more I watch Woody allen movies the more mystified I am as to why he’s considered such a genius, but maybe that’s just me!

Like Quentin Tarantino it’s his dialog I really like. You have to think about some of it. I like his sillier earlier movies…they were slapstick like the Chaplin and Keaton movies.

I was thinking that also. I can have a part 2 and so on with this… I remember the ones we quoted in school… Animal House, Star Wars…trying to think of more. I wanted to throw in a few obscure ones.

I know…I was doing that and I kept coming up with the common ones we all know. “I’ll Be Back” and the popular ones.
You made me think of High Fidelity a while back and I rewatched it again a week or so ago. .

When I was teaching I’d use a few times a year when having trouble with some kid “What we have here is a failure to communicate” from Cool Hand Luke… no one ever said ” hey that’s from Cool Hand Luke” maybe I was expecting too much…..

You are completely right…when I do part 2…some of what Doc Holiday said has to be on there.

What about “Make My Day” and the whole spiel he gives about his .45 Magnum? My younger son used to do that quote to perfection.

oh right, he says that also. There are some great Thelma & Louise quotes but I chose not to share them at your post. Maybe do a post on female quotes in movies, then you can use them 🙂
