Well, now that another "favorite movie" thread has started (making it two, plus the separate thread on favorite Arnold movies), I'm gonna give into temptation and start a really esoteric thread that I thought of a couple of months ago: favorite movie lines of all time.
We're not talking total films here, but simply lines that were so good that they've become classic on their own.
So without further a-doo [sic], here are my nominees . . .
"No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country." (George C. Scott, Patton)
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! You ain't heard nothin' yet! Wait a minute! I tell ya, ya ain't heard nothin'! Do you wanna hear 'Toot Toot Tootsie?'" (Al Jolson, The Jazz Singer)
"Who do you have to fuck to get a drink around here?" (Cliff Gorman, Boys in the Band)
"Sounds like bull shinto to me." (Kevin Costner, American Flyers)
"I'll have what she's having." (The woman responding to Meg Ryan's faked orgasm in a restaurant, When Harry Met Sally)
"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. [Slurp.]" (Anthony Hopkins, Silence of the Lambs)
"I am big. It's the pictures that got small." (Gloria Swanson, Sunset Boulevard)
"Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death." (Rosalind Russell, Auntie Mame)
"Cream?" "No, thank you. I take my coffee black . . . like my men." (The little girl in Airplane)
And my personal favorite . . .
"No... wire... hangers!!! Ever!!!" (Faye Dunaway, Mommie Dearest)
