Quite Possibly the Greatest Line in Cinematic History

[name not needed]

"I love lamp."

:P

[terrya]

1. Good, but..."I'm as mad as hell and I'm NOT going to take it anymore"

From "Network" was, I think, the greatest line in cinema history.

This sort of thing is subjective, I know.

[Inland]

16. "You f*d up! You trusted us!"

Animal House. Most recently, Bush's attitude about the war.

[Joylaughter]

2. The best line

I don't know the line you posted or where its from. My favorite is "How do you know there will be a tomorrow? There wasn't one today." By Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

[southpaw]

3. "You're dumber than you think I think you are."

-Chinatown

[rlev1223]

18. I'm not dumb...

I'm smaht .. not like everybody says

[Jim Sagle]

4. "President of what?" -- Snake Plissken.

[Paradise]

5. "Rosebud."

One word that tells the story of a man's life.

[Texasgal]

6. " Gimme a diablo samitch and a docta peppa"

Gotta love Jackie Gleason!

[TheCentepedeShoes]

7. From Dr Strangelove

"You can't fight in here - this is the war room!" My favorite movie.

[VolcanoJen]

8. Lloyd Dobler - still my fave.

From the film "Say Anything"

I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

9. From Cool Hand Luke

"what we have here is a failure to communicate"

[pbg]

10. "You can't get to the moon with fractions!"

Dennis Hopper, who you know had no film in any of those cameras...

[Mr. Blonde]

11. "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."

From the greatest movie in cinematic history as well.

Honorable mention to "Fuck it Dude, Let's go bowling." Which is a good philosophy if not always practical.

[CBHagman]

12. But you forgot...

From Casablanca:

"You despise me, don't you, Rick?"

"Well, if I ever thought about you, I suppose I would."

From Arsenic and Old Lace:

"Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops!"

From Yours, Mine and Ours:

"Am I being stupid?

"No, you're just being a man, which is sometimes the same thing."

And countless zingers from classics like The Lion in Winter, The Man Who Came to Dinner, To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, and so forth

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. Now it's dark.

LET'S FUCK!

I'LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOVES! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Beaverhausen]

14. "The world is made for those who aren't cursed with self awareness"

my fav line- from Bull Durham. Annie Savoy talking about Nuke.

[Ernesto]

15. "Now look who's being naive"

From the Godfather when Micheal responds to Kate after she tells him that "senators & congressmen don't kill people".

[VOX]

17. "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?"

"Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the fu** do you think you're talking to? Oh yeah? Huh? Okay."

DeNiro's Travis Bickle, the classic embodiment of alienation in Scorcese's "Taxi Driver."

[BlackVelvetElvis]

19. "I swear, as long as I live, I'll never go hungry again!"

Maybe not an exact quote...
Not exactly a PC movie, but I sure love it.
