Recently I watched From Dusk to Dawn for the first time ever. This movie is chock-full of memorable quotes. But by far my favorite–in fact, it could be my favorite ever-- is:

George Clooney: Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don’t give a fuck how crazy they are!

Funniest line ever sung-- Madeline Khan in Young Frankenstein: OOooh sweet mystery of life at last I’ve found you!

_Ghostbusters_: “When someone asks you if you’re a god… YOU SAY YES!!!”  
\*  
Airplane!\*: “…and that’s when I developed my drinking problem.” (Image of a man pouring a cup of something down the front of his shirt)

_Pulp Fiction_: “Is Marcellus Wallace a bitch? … Then why’d you try to go and F\*CK him like a bitch?!”

_Monty Python’s Life of Brian_:  
**Brian** (the unwilling Messiah): You don’t need to follow me! You’ve got to think for yourselves! You’re all individuals!  
**His Crowd of Followers** : Yes! We’re all individuals!  
**(lone dissenter):** …I’m not.  
**His Crowd of Followers** : Shhh!

Memorable for more serious reasons:

_Blade Runner_: “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die.”

_The Shawshank Redemption_: “I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really: get busy livin’, or get busy dyin’.”
