Ok I am sure anyone who has spent any decent amount of time on these boards, especially in this forum, has heard thousands of cult movie ‘one liners’. Case in point: “My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die…” '…Inconceivable…" We all know where those lines came from, because the movie, now a cult film - that is still up for debate - but there are countless other one liners that some people can incorporate into everyday life. Historically, the most famous one liner that most people know is: “…It’s alive, IT’S ALIVE!!..” from Frankenstein. So anyone know any others, maybe some you use in daily life, or at certain moments… “I’ll be Back” … to check in soon 🙂 ---

whoops. Didn’t read the OP closely enough. So, one-liners we use in our daily lives? Wait… I’ll need that… It’s _gone,_ McReady! It’s only a model. and if you don’t recognize them, then I guess they aren’t cult movies to anybody but me… ---

“I don’t know. I just got here myself.” And from the 1976 “King Kong:” “It would be a ghastly situation for the whole congregation.” “Fargin’ bastages” and “icehole” from “Johnny Dangerously.” “You stoopid fo¢k! Loook at you now!” from “Scarface.” (In a Sean Connery voice:) “Thish one a-grancha, wush not a [whatever situation].” In “The Name of the Rose,” though, the word was “suicide.” (I can’t say “daily,” but I do use those." ---

These get more use than one might think. From _The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension!_ (with accents, usually). “I’m sure in the miserable annals of the Earth you will be duly enshrined.” “Oh. The deuce you say.” “Of course. If it was a snake it’d have bit me.” “So whaaat? Beeg Deal.” From _Big Trouble in Little China_. “I can see things no one else can see. Do things no one else can do.” “You were not put upon this earth to ‘get it’, Mr. Burton.” From _Glengarry Glen Ross_. “Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee is for closers.” From _Dune_. “Not in the mood? Moods are things for cattle and love play! Now guard yourself for true!” “Usul has called a big one!” From _Blade Runner_ “Nothing’s worse than having an itch you can never scratch.” “You’ve done a man’s job, sir!” ---
