From _Memento_:

“Okay, so what am I doing?..Oh, I’m chasing this guy…No, he’s chasing me.”

“I don’t…feel drunk.”

And of course, just about every line from [_Pulp Fiction_](http://us.imdb.com/Quotes?0110912).

(But [Eutychus says](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=91538) we can’t do any _Holy Grail_ quotes.)

Thanks to CajunMan for noticing I botched up the quoter on this on. Margo Channing said this line in the movie, not Eve. Eve wasn’t witty enough to have come up with that great line.

From **Clerks** :  
Dante: “Try not to suck any d\*cks on your way across the parking lot!! (pause) Hey, come back here!”

Randall: “Ma’am, I don’t appreciate your ruse.”

From **any Kevin Smith movie, whereupon a character wakes up** :  
Character: “poopytrip!”

I have a friend who can quote **Bender’s** entire rant from **The Breakfast Club** , you know, the one that ends with “No, dad, what about you?” and every time he does it, it scares me.

From **Scarface** :  
Tony: “Another quaalude, she’ll love me again.”

and from **Braveheart** :  
Stephen: “In order to talk to his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God.”  
(Thanks to **atypicalcarl** for reminding me of this line.)

From “The Princess Bride”:

Inigo Montoya: My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Westley: Give us the gate key.  
Yellin: I have no gate key.  
Inigo Montoya: Fezzik, tear his arms off.  
Yellin: Oh, you mean _this_ gate key.

Vizzini: Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well known is this: “Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!”

Minister: Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togetha today.

From “Chasing Amy”:

Banky: Since you like chicks, right, do you just look at yourself naked in the mirror all the time?

What about the scene in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, when Steve Martin goes ballistic to the car rental lady:

Car Rental Agent: I really don’t care for the way you’re speaking to me.

Neal Page: And I really don’t care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn’t fucking there. And I really didn’t care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face. I want a fucking car RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

**Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory**  
“Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, So the danger must be growing. Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? Yes, the danger must be growing, For the rowers keep on rowing, And they’re certainly not showing, Any signs that they are slowing!”

We’ve got to get some Muppet Movie lines in here…  
Bernie–the Hollywood Agent: I’ve to catch a plane.  
Kermit the Frog: With that tongue? No way.  
[Fozzie is performing stand-up comedy.]  
Fozzie Bear: There was this sailor that was _so_ fat -  
Fat Sailor: How fat was he?  
[breaks bottle]  
Fozzie Bear: Uh … He was so fat that everybody liked him, and there was nothing funny about him at all.  
[Fozzie is driving, Kermit is navigating, as they approach a fork in the road.]  
Kermit the Frog: Bear left!  
Fozzie Bear: Right, frog!  
Gonzo: [singing] This looks familiar, vaguely familiar, / Almost unreal, yet, it’s too soon to feel yet. / Close to my soul, and yet so far away. / I’m going to go back there someday.  
[After singing “America, The Beautiful”]  
Fozzie Bear: Patriotism swells in the heart of the American Bear.  
Kermit: OK, we’ve been going along this black line, then we crossed this red line.  
Fozzie: Why don’t we take that blue line?  
Kermit: We can’t take that, that’s a river.  
And one of my many favorites…

Kermit the Frog: Life’s like a movie / Write your own ending.

It’s so hard to pick out a few great lines from The Muppet Movie. Anyone else have any favorite Muppet Movie lines?

I’ve always loved that big speech Bill Pullman gives before whooping some serious alien a\*\* in “Independence Day.”

“…when the world cried out in one voice we will not go quietly into the night! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive. Today, we celebrate our Independence Day.”

It’s such a powerful speech, it almost seems out of place in a sci-fi flick with a barely plausible plot.

“We gotta get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!” Gwen DeMarco, Galaxy Quest

Guy’s entire speech on the away ship to the planet, where he’s afraid he’ll die.

“You broke the ship, you broke the bloody ship!” Alexander, Galaxy Quest

Actually, the whole movie is a freakin’ laugh riot. I’ve seen it probably 20 times now, and laugh out loud every time.

“A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.” Old Rose, Titanic

“Yeah, they’re dead - they’re all messed up.” Sheriff, Night of the Living Dead (the original, of course)

“You’re going to die up there.” Regan, The Exorcist

Other unmentionable quotes from The Exorcist (a movie that scares the HELL out of me)

I could go on and on. But I’ll take a break for now.
