A few days ago I had a Movie Quotes post and received suggestions from people and have included some. Thanks to you all including msjadeli, hanspostcard, and The Hinoeuma.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail – Just a flesh wound.

Cool Hand Luke – “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.”
Tombstone – I’m your Huckleberry, why Johnny Ringo looks like somebody just walked over your grave.
Pulp Fiction (deleted scene) “There are only two kinds of people in the world, Beatles people and Elvis people. Now Beatles people can like Elvis and Elvis people can like the Beatles, but nobody likes them both equally. Somewhere you have to make a choice. And that choice, tells you who you are.”

Dirty Harry – You’ve got to ask yourself a question: ‘do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?

Spinal Tap – “But these go to 11”

Good Morning Vietnam – No, Phil, he’s not all right. A man does not refer to Pat Boone as a beautiful genius if things are all right.

All classics… without thinking much on it- Clint Eastwood might be the king of movie quotes. How you doing Max?
Much better thank you it’s finally past. Yes Clint has to be one of the most quoted.
Glad to hear you are doing better!
It makes you appreciate good health.
Just a flesh wound….shit that made me laugh when I saw it first…
I like how he head butt the guy and refuses to give up.
These go to Eleven! My god I love Spinal Tap. What a mockumentary! And the music rocks.
That movie is full of great quotes. I watched it a few months back after years of not seeing it…it still works.
It’s just so rewatchable that movie.
Some of these I know the quote even though I haven’t seen the movie.
Some of them transcend the movie like the Clint Eastwood quotes and a few others.
Another classic from Monty Python – “Run away!” Another – “I’m not dead yet!”
Monty Python could just have their own quotes post… classic bits.
somewhere there probably is just a site! I was a gigantic Monty Python fan as a kid… not all of it still makes me laugh but bits of it do… “The Life of Brian” is a comedy classic, but “The Holy Grail” was probably the one for the quotes!
Yes it is…They had a big influence on comedy in the seventies…with SNL also. .
Actually so could Pulp Fiction or Dirty Harry!
You could do so many from that movie!
Good Morning Vietnam. Robin Williams’ quote: Priceless! Here’s my contribution: “It could be worse, it could be raining” (Young Frankestein)
Great movie to quote… that will be in the 3rd one thank you
Glad you’re feeling better!!
Forrest Gump would be a great mine of good quotes.
Thanks man… I would not recommend it to anyone.
I will make sure to include one in Part 3…Thanks Dave
I just thought of another one…
“The bitch hit me with a toaster!” from Scrooged.
That is a good one. I love that movie. Very good dark comedy.
Then, there’s “Dave. What are you doing, Dave.” & “It’s full of stars.”
“Will somebody get this big, walking carpet out of my way.”
On t he Star Wars… I do want to use some…just not the obvious ones…but the carpet is great
Ok, shifting gears…how about “I’m little black woman, in a big silver box.” & “Mick! Speak English!”
That is Jumping Jack Flash right? Cool…see I would have never thought of that one.
Yep, back in the day when Whoopie wasn’t so obnoxious.
She is isn’t she? Every one thinks we need their opinion about everything. What makes them qualified over anyone else?
Big bucks & adoration. Hellyweird is narcissist central. We created our own monsters, much like we got the government we deserve.
Then, there’s…”That’s not a name! That’s an appliance!” & “I remain now and will always be a Duck Man.”
lol… I had to look that one up….Pretty in Pink…thats good.
Yea we do create the monsters and then people act as if they are Gods
If we worship, they will abide…which leads into “The Dude abides…”
And, there’s more…”So, Ahab, can I have all my doobage?”
Now, I goes to bed. Night…
LOL…I am also! talk to you tomorrow.
Actually, the line was “So, Ahab…KYBO mein doobage.” But, no one seems to really know the true meaning. John Hughes was not forthcoming:

Which leads to “Da chick can’t hold de smoke, dat’s what it is.”
I remember that one!
I need to go through all of these and the comments…..I have SO many more to add!!!
LOL. Feel free…I’m going to start doing these once in a while.
This is just prompting me to write a blog about something I’ve wanted to do for some time…
When I worked on the radio, we used to use movie lines in the middle of sweepers, and for various other reasons. We used to call them “drops”. Example: (Voice guy) You’re listening to Keith Allen (drop) “a big, stupid, muscle headed moron” (voice guy) on Flint’s Classic Rock Authority 103.9 The Fox!
I used to sit and record TV shows and movies and watch them only to be listening for lions that I could use in sweepers or on my show!!
There are so many movies that I laugh at during very serious scenes… Because what’s being said in the scene is something I used as a drop.
I’m definitely going to have to write that blog…
Please do…I’ll be there.
There are so many lines you could use… I see that.
Whenever I think of radio and lines…now I’m switching subjects a little…but remember in the 70s that “song” that came out about JAWS? An interviewer would ask Jaws the shark something and he would answer? Dickie Goodman “Mr. Jaws”…thats it.
It just reminded me of that when you talked about cutting lines in.
Lol. Yes! Dickie had an entire album of those!!! Funny stuff!!
* lines, not lions! That’s what I get for voice to text and not proofreading before posting
I’ve done that a million times… I knew
Excellent post idea, Max. I agree that Spinal Tap is the king of quotable quotes. For me…”We’re gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” Don Corleone.
So…Hans mentioned that you’ve been ill?
Kidney stone and diverticulitis… it’s been a fun week lol. I’m getting better now. My dad had 70 kidney stones in his life. I hope this isn’t starting something lol.
Great quote… It’s really fun looking for them. I have to use that one…
Yikes…Sorry. Glad you’re on the mend.
All unforgettable quotes. Thanks for the mention. I need to watch Tombstone again.
Well I messed up though…I forgot to link all of you.
That’s fine.
