“I JUST LOST MY VIRGINITY IN A CONFESSIONAL BOOTH…LORD HAVE MERCY!!!” ~Detroit Rock City

“Just be yourself, sir. They can’t take that away from you.” ~Trading Places

Great Moments in the Princess Bride:  
“You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get involved in a land way in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line! A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, A ha ha ha - (Thump!)” ~Vizinni

“He died well; that should please you. No bribe attempts or blubbering. He simply said, ‘Please. Please I want to live.’ 'Twas the please that caught my attention…He went on to describe a woman of unsurpassing beauty and faithfullness; I can only assume he meant you. You should bless me for destroying him before he found out what you really are.” ~Westley

“If you’re in such a hurry, you could lower a rope or a tree branch, or find something useful to do.” ~Westley  
“I could do that. I’ve got some rope up here, but I do not think you would accept my help since I am only waiting around to kill you.” ~Iñigo  
“That does put a damper on our relationship.” ~Westley

“Probably some local fisherman out for a pleasure cruise at night through…eel-infested waters…” ~Vizinni

“Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.” ~Iñigo

“Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” ~Dread Pirate Roberts  
(end Princess Bride…I left about ten of my quotes out…moving on)

“God is so smart. Like Jeopardy smart.” ~Little Nicky

“Peopel think I got the power cuz I got the monkeys. Nope. I got the power cuz I’ll let the monkeys loose. People don’t understand that…they goddamn don’t understand that, and they goddamn don’t understand me. But that’s ok cuz people, they understands monkeys.” ~Dave Foley, Kids in the Hall (I know it’s not a movie, but…)

“I’m somebody’s bitch.” ~Half Baked

“Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you’re cool, fuck you I’m out.” ~also from Half Baked

“I spent ten years learning which buttongs to push; now I just look at myself and I cum.”

“Randy, be Christlike.” ~The Opposite of Sex

“What a piece of fecal matter.” ~Bicentennial Man

“Not that I’m condoning Fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Isms, in my opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism; he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, ‘I don’t believe in Beatles/I just believe in me.’ He was the walrus. I could be the walrus; I’d still have to bum rides off of people.” ~Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

“Anyone? Anyone?” ~same as above

“And stay out of the _Woolsworth_!”  
I’d also like to second “Lots of respectable people been hit by trains.”
