“Walk without rhythm.”

Because my brother heard that and immediately said “Bitch, I can’t!” It loses so much in the typing, but it was damn funny.

I also like “Sit on it and twirl!” from **The Crow** , said with middle finger raised high.

what about

“I’ll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.”

I’m just dreaming of the day Tara Reid walks up to me and tells me that.

_Snath_

“Hes the getaway driver? What the fuck can he get away from?”

“You can fit a jumbo fuckin jet in there.”

Could you mean “Just some guy” from _Brain Candy_?

“It’s made of monkey cum you know! They put these monkeys in a room and show them lots of sick animal pornography like two dogs and a cat or a bat and a pig. Then they make them jerk off till they cum and they use it to make the drug!!”

“This urine is great!”

I like to say

“John Wayne was a fag. I installed two-way mirrors in his pad in Brentwood, and he come to the door in a dress.”

But no one ever thinks it’s funny.

Also:

“Yes, have some.”

“Darkness warshed over the Dude. Blacker than a steer cow’s tuckus on a moonless prairie night. There was nooooo bottom.”

Some guy: We have to jam the network!

Speaking of Arnold, there’s a line in **Total Recall** where he says “Let the people have air!”, but in his accent the word “air” just comes out as a mess of vowels, so it’s:

Let the people have aeiou!

Wow, there are several that I use in everyday life:

“I was cured all right.” (_A Clockwork Orange_) After a glass of beer or moloko plus

“Who’d believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow!” (_Re-Animator_) To an annoying person

“It’s been swell, but the swelling’s gone down.” (_Tank Girl_) On leaving a place

OK, we have had over a dozen Army of Darkness quotes and no one has mentioned my favorite:

“Gimme some sugar baby.”

Or from Blazing Saddles:

“It’s twooo! It’s twooo!”

No one has mentioned any great HAL quotes:

“I honestly think you ought to calm down; take a stress pill and think things over.”

“It can only be attributed to human error.”

“I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

“I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I can think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.”

“I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.”

and of course:

“Bathe her and bring her to me.”

Dunno if they’re cult classics, but here’s a few I use pretty often:

“Nothing? Nothing?! Tra-la-la?!” -_Labirynth_

“Go Wolvie-berserk and take 'em out X-Men style!” -_Mallrats_ (must be done with accompanying hand motions)

“Bunch of savages in this town.” -_Clerks_

“Is that goin’ on right now?” -_Desperado_

“So, 1200 men go into the water, 316 come out, sharks took the rest, July the 25th, 1945.” -_Jaws_ (used whenever anyone concludes a long, slightly-disturbing remeniscense) Also, the immortal “man goes into cage” speech.

“To make a long story short-”  
“Too late!” -_Clue_

“Here’s where Cameron goes completely berserk.” &  
“You’re so tight that if you shoved a lump of coal up your ass, in two weeks you’d have a diamond.” &  
“One, you can never go too far, and two, if I’m gonna get busted, it is not gonna be by a guy like that.” -_Ferris Bueller’s Day Off_

“She doesn’t talk, sir.” -_The Breakfast Club_

“I will have you shaved, sterilized, and destroyed.” -_Twelve Monkeys_

“Yeah, those acts of God really stick it in and break it off.” & "What do you think I want, you mean old bastard, I want a fucking (whatever; originally ‘room’) -_From Dusk 'Til Dawn_

My mind is going, Dave…I can feel it going.

Not that 2001 can really be considered a cult movie, but it does have that sort of feel to it.
