Okay sorry, never mind, that was my evil twin talking. Rocky Horror is the cult movie of all time. I just can’t think of a good line - they all seem to need visuals. Why does Tim curry look so good in a bustiere and fishnets? ---

“What a strange person.” “Message for you sir!” “Don’t put that finger in your ear. You don’t know where that finger’s been!” “Of course I’m serious. And don’t call me Shirley.” ---

And a couple more from **Buckaroo** : “Remember, where every you go – there you are.” (or did that come from somewhere else originally?) and “I’ve been ionized, but I’m okay now.” ---

My favorite Bruce Campbell _Evil Dead 2_ line is “Who’s laughing now?!!” (directed toward his own impaled hand) Bit of trivia – the tentative title of the film was _Evil Dead 2: Who’s Laughing Now_ ---

_Scarface:_ Say hello to my leetle friend! Okay, let’s get organized here. Fly, pelican, fly! You wanna stick your fingers in a dyke?? Manolo! Choot that piece of chit! _Glengarry Glen Ross:_ You know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes brass balls. [requires visual aid] What’s my name?? “Fuck you”, that’s my name! Coffee is for closers only! _Beyond the Valley of the Dolls:_ This is my happening, and it freaks me out! Aber naturlich! _Repo Man:_ Let’s do some crimes! Most people spend their lives trying to stay out of tense situations. A repo man spends his life _getting into_ tense situations. [imperfectly remembered, I think] _Batman:_ Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb. _The Big Lebowski:_ They finally did it. They killed my car. [spit take] Uh, let me explain something about The Dude … You can imagine what happens next. He fixes their cable? Don’t be fatuous, Mr Lebowski. I’m a brother shamus!

From a movie that doesn’t need to be named: “You mean coitus?” From another movie that doesn’t need to be named: “We’ll never get out alive.” “Nonsense! You’re only saying that because no one ever has.” From **Kicking And Screaming** : “Wanna know how to make God laugh? Make a plan.” From **Roger Dodger** (this one may be a little off): “As we speak, millions of people need to be reminded just how dull and pathetic their lives really are.” Also from **Roger Dodger** : “Come on! For symmetry!” From **Dead Alive** : “Your mother ate my dog!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-cult-movie-one-liners/170344.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-cult-movie-one-liners/170344.md?page=3)
