movie quotes you use

Usually as some bully (bigger than I) walks over me, I mumble under my breath a quote from Army of Darkness–

"Yo, she-bi*ch, pick one someone your own size --followed by several shotgun shots. Or, in a joking mood:

Evil Half-“Goody little two shoes!” kick “Goody little two shoes!” kick “Goody little–”

Good half-puts shotgun to EH’s face, blows him away “Good, bad; I’m the guy with the gun.”

And, as I flee if he hears, from Quest for the Holy Grail:

“AHHH, Run away, run away!”

“What did you have in mind?” In response to any request worded “could you do something. . .” or “could you do me a favor. . .” (Elwood P Dowd, in Harvey)

“Let me explain. No, there is too much, let me sum up.” (Inigo, in The Princess Bride.)

“Well, that’s hardly common knowledge, now is it?” (Wesley, also from The Princess Bride.)

“It’s been twenty years, and I am startin’ to get a little discouraged.” (Inigo, The Princess Bride.)

I just made Jean Grey fall in love with me…

Quick, must think of more Clue quotes!

Ones I occasionally throw into conversation, hoping that someone will catch the reference:

“One plus two plus two plus one.”
“No, sorry. I said no meaning yes.”
“Would anyone care for fruit or dessert?”
“Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?”
“I’m sorry. I’m a little accident prone.”
“Have you ever given any thought to the Kingdom of Heaven?”

Dialogue I can use as banter when my roommates are around:

Mrs. White: “He had threatened to kill me in public.”
Miss Scarlet: “Why would he want to kill you in public?”
Wadsworth: “I think she meant he threatened, in public, to kill her.”

Mrs. Peacock: “Everything all right?”
Col. Mustard: “Yep. Two corpses. Everything’s fine.”

Mrs. Peacock: “And there are two dead bodies in the study!
Everybody: “Sh!

Mr. Green: “So it was you. I was going to expose you.”
Wadsworth: “I know. So I choose to expose myself.”
Col. Mustard: “Please. There are ladies present.”

I understand that some people manage to get through their entire lives without quoting Monty Python. What boring, shallow lives they must lead. “Help! Help! I’m being oppressed!” “That’s what being a Protestant is all about!” “Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!” And, well, about a hundred more.

When I ask the husband unit what he wants for supper, I risk getting an answer straight out of “Shirley Valentine”: “Today is Thursday. On Thursdays we have steak.” Some of Costas’ speeches are also good for, ahm, erotic occasions: “You think I want make f*ck with you.”

“This means something.” I don’t remember if that was in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” or only in the little homage/parody scene in “UHF”. Which movie also inspired another one, after someone proposes a preposterous plan: “And after that, we’re going to make plutonium from common household objects.”

AH! And one more before I forget it. From the Beatles movie “Help!” comes this all purpose quote: “A THINGIE! A FIENDISH THINGIE!” (The accent is crucial here.)

Who shot who in the what now? another simpsonism

Whenever possible also try to use
“You want I should wipe the dead bugs off the windshield?” --Blues Bro’s

But also lets not forget lines from whats got to be one of the most quoted movies of all time -Full Metal Jacket
…me love you long time
…Private Pyle I will rip your eyes out and skull f*#k you, now choke yourself…not with your hand numbnuts…
…we’re all in a world of hurt
Unfortunately my FMJ quotes escape me at this time, oh well

am I funny, do I AMUSE you? How the f*#$ am I funny? -Goodfelals

Also from Full Metal Jacket, my most often used quote:

“I AM in a world OF SHIT…”

and then theres the ever so pedestrian usage of Billy Bob Thortons’ “Mm Hmm” ala Slingblade.
And the equally overused “MMMmmm…” ala Homer Simpson

“Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”

I love to quote Reservoir Dogs.

“If you get a customer, or an employee, who thinks he’s Charles Bronson, take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in.” - said when entering a store or a bank with a friend

“If you keep talking like a bitch, I’m gonna slap you like a bitch!”

“Somebody’s shoved a red-hot poker up our ass, and I want to know whose name is on the handle!”

“You shoot me in a dream, you’d better wake up and apologize.”

“DRAgon! I don’t do that tongue thing (demonstrates “tongue thing”)”–Mulan

I use Python’s “Run away, run away!” a lot.

also the scene with the killer rabbit guarding the cave–
“Is it behind the rabbit?”
No, you fool, it is the rabbit!
“Aaaaah! Run away, run away!”

Another classic:
“You killed the car!”

When someone’s nagging you about something you have no intention of doing: “I’m right on top of that, Rose!” from Don’t tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead

“We’re gonna need a bigger boat.” Jaws

“So I got THAT going for me, which is nice.” Caddyshack

and Peta, you forgot: “It’s dead grotty!” and “Who’s this Susan when she’s at home?” :wink:

Okay, got that out of my system.

I also do the whole “Ice Cream! Ice Cream!! The ice cream man is coming!” whenever I hear an ice cream truck. It’s from Delirious (Eddie Murphy).

And I use the “No ketchup!” line from Grease 2 when there’s, you know, no ketchup.

is there anyone who doesn’t quote from ‘the jerk’ when the new phone book arrives?

I am such a sucker for TV-speak! I use many Buchmanisms, and, I’m ashamed to admit, lots and lots of Friends Chandlerisms. (Especially things like, “I am SO not happy about this. Could you BE any slower?” etc.)

The worst of all though, are Simpsonsisms. My brother and I have entire conversations in Simpsonsese where actual information is imparted, plans are made, etc. We both know what we’re talking about but nobody else does.

Ghostbusters quotes:

“Back off, man. I’m a scientist.”
“Somebody blows their nose, and you want to keep it?”
“That was your whole plan: get her.”
“I collect spores, molds, and fungus.”
“What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?”
“Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.”
“I think he can hear you, Ray.”
“Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.”
Whoa! Nice shootin’, Tex!”
“We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!”
“No job is too big, no fee is too big.”
“Uh, if there is a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe anything you say.”
“That’s a big Twinkie.”
“My friend, don’t be a jerk.”
“Yes, sir, it’s true. This man has no dick.”
“Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!”
“When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes.”
“Mother pus bucket.”

The Full Metal Jacket line I use with great frequency and relish, much to my wife’s annoyance, is said by the great Lee Ermey, as the hardass drill sergeant, motivating his pansy-ass troops: “[verb] like ya got a pair.” It’s a great thing to say while in the car; you’re following somebody slow, and you yell out the window, “Come on, jackass! Drive like ya got a pair!” Hee hee.

Another good one: From David Cronenberg’s The Fly – “Be afraid. Be very afraid.”

And zwaldd: Bit of trivia on that Goodfellas bit, where Pesci shoots the waiter guy – Spider, who gets shot, is played by a very young Michael Imperioli, who is currently known for playing the wayward nephew Christopher on “The Sopranos.” Interesting, huh?

Btw, I would just like to point out that EnochF is not exagerating the number of movie quotes he uses in daily conversation. There are entire days where every single thing that he says is a quote from something or the other.

“Well okay then.” --Raising Arizona

“I been to a town.” --Jeremiah Johnson

“But-cha are, Blanche, but-cha are.” --Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

“Remember: no matter where you go . . . there you are.”
“The future begins–tomorrow!”
“You make my ganglia twitch.”
“It’s not my damn planet.”
“Laugh while you can, monkey boy!”
–The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Across the Eight Dimension

Where the hell is our Buckaroo Bonzai sequel?!

Which brings me to another quote from the Simpsons, everytime I see my mailman, I have to ask “Where’s my spy camera?”

So as to not make this a hijack post, here are a few more movie quotes to use in every day life…

“Get that cat out of here”
The man with two brains

“When they brought you in here you were cryin’ like a pu**y.”
“Yeah!”
Trading places

“She can’t drive, she don’t even got a license!”
Weird Science

“Aside from your many girlfriends in the Niagra falls area…”
Breakfast club

Whenever I say, “It’s possible”, my SO always pops up with “Pig.” Likewise, every time I say a declarative sentence she responds with, “That’s what he says. But does he know?”

To all other frequent film quoters: Don’t you hate it when you say something quick, witty, and wholly original, and your friends say, “What’s that from?” Dammit, I made it up! I have a brain of my own, you know! “No, really, isn’t that from Buckaroo Banzai?” No, it’s from me, you pinhead!

“Shitter’s full!” in best Randy Quaid voice (Christmas Vacation), upon exit of any commode but most especially a satellite or similar affair.
