List 43 of my favorite movie quotes.

From The Shop Around the Corner:

Alfred Kralik: Are you disappointed?
Klara Novak (Miss Novak): Psychologically, I’m very confused… But personally, I don’t feel bad at all.

And this “thing” is done. It took longer than I thought, but it was a good exercise.

From V For Vendetta

Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I’m not questioning your powers of observation I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
Evey Hammond: Oh. Right.

V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

V: A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having!

V: People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

From When Harry Met Sally:

Harry Burns: I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Sally Albright: Well, if you must know, it was because he was very jealous, and I had these days of the week underpants.
Harry Burns: Ehhhh. I’m sorry. I need the judges ruling on this. “Days of the weeks underpants”?
Sally Albright: Yes. They had the days of the week on them, and I thought they were sort of funny. And then one day Sheldon says to me, “You never wear Sunday.” It was all suspicious. Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday? And I told him, and he didn’t believe me.
Harry Burns: What?
Sally Albright: They don’t make Sunday.
Harry Burns: Why not?
Sally Albright: Because of God.

Jess: “Baby talk”? That’s not a saying.
Harry Burns: Oh, but “baby fish mouth” is sweeping the nation?

Sally Albright: You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you.

Harry Burns: You know, I have a theory that hieroglyphics are just an ancient comic strip about a character named Sphinxy.

Sally Albright: Its amazing. You look like a normal person but actually you are the angel of death.

Harry Burns: There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.
Sally Albright: Which one am I?
Harry Burns: You’re the worst kind. You’re high maintenance but you think you’re low maintenance.

Harry Burns: The fact that you’re not answering leads me to believe you’re either (a) not at home, (b) home but don’t want to talk to me, or© home, desperately want to talk to me, but trapped under something heavy. If it’s either (a) or©, please call me back.

I realize that this is a lot from one movie, but I love When Harry Met Sally. In my opinion, the best romantic comedy of all time. I can’t believe that I forgot to write an entry about until now!

From Black Hawk Down:

Hoot: Once that first bullet goes past your head, politics and all that shit just goes right out the window.

Grimes: Why aren’t you shooting?
Waddell: We’re not being shot at yet.
Grimes: How can you tell?
Waddell: A hiss means it’s close. A snap means…
[a bullet whizzes close by]
Waddell: Now they’re shooting at us!

McKnight: “Don’t let that man crawl! Somebody help that man!”

From Serendipity:

Sara: I usually enjoy my own thoughtfulness.

Dean: You know the Greeks didn’t write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: “Did he have passion?”.

Dean: Maybe we’re lying here because you don’t wanna be standing somewhere else.

From Grosse Pointe Blank:

Debi: Some people say forgive and forget. Nah, I don’t know. I say forget about forgiving and just accept. And… get the hell out of town.

Dr. Oatman: Don’t kill anybody for a few days. See what it feels like.
Martin Q. Blank: Alright, I’ll give it a shot.
Dr. Oatman: No, don’t give it a shot! Don’t shoot anything!

From The Birdcage:

Albert: You know everything because you’re a man, and I know nothing because I’m a woman.
Armand: You’re not a woman.
Albert: Oh, you bastard!

From Hot Fuzz:

Andy Wainwright: It’s alright, Andy! It’s just bolognaise!

Nicholas Angel: I may not be a religious man Reverend, but I know right and I know wrong and I have the good grace to know which is which.
Reverend Philip Shooter: Oh, fuck off, grasshopper.

Nicholas Angel: You’re a doctor, deal with it!
Danny Butterman: Yeah, motherfucker!

From Beauty and the Beast:

Gaston: How can you read this? There’s no pictures!
Belle: Well, some people use their imagination.

From Moulin Rouge:

Satine: I don’t need you anymore! All my life you made believe I was only worth what someone would pay for me! But Christian loves me. He loves me! He loves me, Harold. And that is worth everything! We’re going away from you, away from the Duke, away from the Moulin Rouge!

Toulouse-Lautrec: I know about art and love, if only because I long for it with every fiber of my being.

From Love Actually:

Prime Minister: Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.

From Monty Python and the Holy Grail

French Soldier: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

If I could just quote the whole movie, that would be perfect. But this is my all time favorire Python quote.

From American History X”

Bob Sweeney: There was a moment… when I used to blame everything and everyone… for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed white people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn’t get no answers ‘cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions.
Derek Vinyard: Like what?
Bob Sweeney: Has anything you’ve done made your life better?

Danny Vinyard: Hate is baggage. Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time.
