These are good. As for **A Clockwork Orange** , my personal pick is “Come and get it in the yarbles, if you got any yarbles!”

Glad to see that “Rasining Arizona” is getting the attention it deserves (i.e., “panty on your head,” “Names Leonard Smalls,” and “Only if round is funny.”) I’d add the scene between the FBI polygraph examiner and Nathan Arizona

FBI: Sir, is it true that you changed your name from Nathan Hufheinz?

Arizon: Hell yes, would you buy furniture from a store called Unpainted Hufheinz?

One movie quote that seems to have been forgotten:

Dirty Harry:  
“Did he fire six shots, or only five? You see, in all this confusion I kinda forgot myself. But seeing how this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you have to ask yourself - Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”

Punk (after not reaching for his pistol)  
“Mister, I gots to know.”

Well yeah and if frogs had wings they wouldn’t bump their asses when they hopped

God, I love Jack’s whole monologue from that movie. I love that movie period. Big Trouble is one of my guilty pleasures. And hey, you got quoted for your very first post, TH.

How about:  
“Why Kate, you’re not wearing a bustle - how lewd.”

“That’s a damn shame, somebody throwing out a perfectly good white boy…”

and of course, “It’s not my fault!”

Bobby: I’d like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.  
Waitress: A #2, chicken salad sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?  
Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven’t broken any rules.  
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?  
Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.

Oh, God, this is one of my all time favorite guilty pleasure movies. I just have to add (pardon my paraphrasing):

“He puts his testicles all over me”  
“He What?”  
“You know, like the octopus…”  
“Oh, you mean tenticles. Big difference”

“After the Olympics, everything just seemed so _easy_”

“You wash your hands on your own time!”

and of course: “I want my two dollars!”

“It was 600 feet high, bright red, and smelled awful.”

“I got me a taxidermy man back home, he’s gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!”

“Well, I guess I’ll just have to take my ball and go home then.”

Damn, I had another one…Well, it’ll come back to me.
