How about Full Metal Jacket. Loads of great lines, unfortunately, the language in most of them is unuseable here. HARTMAN: How tall are you, Private? COWBOY: Sir, five foot nine, sir! HARTMAN: Five foot nine? I didn’t know they stacked shit that high! You trying to squeeze an inch in on me somewhere, huh? Oh, and of course Pulp Fiction 🙂 ---

Oh man fav movie lines,…mine would definetly have to be from **Devil’s Advocate** at the end where Al Pacino is talking about God, I wish I could remember the exact line but it was talking about God and how he is just a puppet master for this sick twisted world he created. Someone help me out what where those lines? ---

thanks, **atypicalcarl** _Devil’s Advocate_ John Milton: Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He’s a prankster. Think about it. He gives man INSTINCTS! He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusment, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It’s the goof of all time. Look but don’t touch. Touch, but don’t taste! Taste, don’t swallow. Ahaha! And when you’re jumpin’ from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He’s laughin’ His sick, fuckin’ ass off. He’s a tight-ass! He’s a sadist! He’s an absentee landlord. Worship THAT? NEVER! ---

How 'bout these classic lines from Bogey: “My, my. Such a lot of guns around here and so few brains.” _The Maltese Facon_ “I stick my neck out for nobody.” _Casablanca_ And this from _The Wizard of Oz_ “That’s you all over.” (The Tinman to the Scarecrow after the latter describes what the flying monkeys have done to his straw stuffing.) From _Silverado_ “I had a girl kiss me once, that didn’t make her my wife.” (Sheb Wooly, btw) “Hanging out with you is no picnic.” “Geez, Paden, her old man ain’t even cold yet.” “You ever seen what a Henry rifle can do in the hands of a man that knows how to use it?” “This is the good stuff.” From _The Outlaw Josey Wales_: “Dyin’ ain’t much of a livin’, boy.” (I can’t remember the exact wording, but I love that line about the “Missouri boatride”) From _The Good, the Bad and the Ugly_: “When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.” “There are two types of spurs. Those that come in through the door and those that come in through the window.” “There are two types of men. Those with guns and those that dig. You dig.” From _Die Hard_ (love that Bruce): “Welcome to the party, Pal.” “You can call me…Roy.” “Yippiekiya, \*\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\*\*.” And from _WKRP in Cincinnatti_ (Hey, I know it’s tv): “I swear, as God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.” “Oh, the humanity.” “I’ve got a monkey on my foot.” “Boo-ger.” ---

You know how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet!!-Cher in Clueless What’s the matter? Is Josh giving you shit because he’s going through his post-adolescent idealistic phase?-Dionne in Clueless so many more…I love that movie. “No way dude, I don’t want you fucking up my life”-Lawrence in Office Space. “She broke my heart…so I broke her jaw”-Tweeter in Varsity Blues ---

“Not all of us drink because we’re poets. Some of us drink because we’re _not_ poets.” Arthur Bach, **Arthur** “…if you can’t say something nice, come sit next to me.” Klaree, **Steel Magnolias** “Fasten your seat belts. It’s gonna be a bumpy night.” Eve, \*\* All About Eve\*\* “SNAP went the dragons! Snap! Snap!” George, **Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe** “But, Blanche, ya ARE in that wheelchair! You ARE!” Baby Jane Hudson, **Whatever Happened to Baby Jane** And these are just a few of my all time favorites. I have a really irritating habit of talking in movie quotes. My sister and I can do this stuff for hours. ---

Peter O’Toole, in **Creator** : “One of these days we will look in our microscopes and find ourselves staring right into God’s eyes, and the first one who blinks is going to lose his testicles.” From **Wargames** : “After very careful consideration, sir, I’ve come to the conclusion that your system sucks.” From **Dr. Strangelove** : “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!” From **Johnny Dangerously** : “Don’t let anything come between your testicles and you.” And nobody’s done this one yet? “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” ---

There’s a lot of good ones from Steel Magnolias… But my favorite is in the Wizard of Oz, only because it can be used as a wonderful sound bite on your computer… “What would you do with a brain if you had one?” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fav-movie-lines/85911.md?page=2)
