Congrats, Moonshine! You have won my undying admiration (that and $1.50 will buy a cup of coffee).
“Privates” is one of my favorite obscure movies. Every old British Army joke, a few songs, and lots of profanity. All in all, a good night out. And how about that John Cleese singing bit over the final credits?!?
I also quote Professor Lizardo (Buckaroo Banzai):
“Laugh while you can, monkey-boy!”
and Oddball (Kelly’s Heroes):
“Always with the negative waves, Moriarity.”
“A friend will help you move house. A best friend will help you move a body.”–Alexi Sayle
Ok, fine… I can’t help it. I hafta join in on the Blackadder quotes!
The “toasting fork” quote was my sig for awhile on the AOL board.
M: Grey, I suspect Majesty.
Q: I think you’ll find it was orange Lord Melchett.
M: Grey is more usual mam.
Q: Who’s queen ?
M: As you say Majesty, there were these magnificent orange elephants which were coming…
– Black Adder II “Head”
“Who knows, or dares to dream!” – Percey in Black Adder II “Money”
“Disease and depravation stalk our land like… two giant… stalking things.” – Black Adder III “Sense and Senility”
Not a movie quote, but while in university back in the '80s, I used to play “Risk”, and if anyone was too slow or indecisive about moving troops, one of us would quote Bugs Bunny:
My favorite line from “Mystery Science Theater 3000” is when this barbarian guy dramatically draws his sword and holds it up and the light is reflecting off it and the “commentator” goes – “It’s a letter opener; I made it in shop class.” This is what I habitually say to anyone who asks “what’s that?” No one ever gets the reference, and without the reference it’s pretty much a non-sequitir.
Ooh, and I love the line in “Fools Rush In” where Matthew Perry’s character is carrying a big stuffed swordfish through his office and some guy asks, “what’s that?” “It’s a keychain.”
When I explain something to someone, and they still don’t understand:
“and get some 30 weight ball bearings; hell, it’s all ball bearings these days” -Fletch
actually, there are many from Fletch I and II
Did she feel ok last night?
Well, she felt pretty good to me
and my favorite “What’s your job, Fletch?”
“I’m a shepherd”
“You call him Dr. Jones.” --Temple of Doom
When someone gets someone else’s name wrong.
“My name is Muerte!” --Undercover Blues
When someone gets your name wrong.
“Two dollars!” --Better Off Dead (not the whole sentence, just the freaky way the kid says “Two dollars.”)
When speaking of money owed.
“It’s great to be young and insane.” --The Dream Team
Whenever appropriate
“I love it when a plan comes together.” Tyhe A Team (TV)
Whenever appropriate
“Laugh it up, fuzzball.”
“Great, Chewy, great. Always thinking with your stomach.”
“Will someone get this walking carpet out of my way.”

And various other Chewbacca-related quotes.

“You know who that was? Clint Eastwood.” --Crocodile Dundee II
“We’re gonna have lawyers here. It’ll be a fun time.”
–R.R.S.
I don’t remember what movie this is from, but I have used this on occasion whenever I’m in the mood to insult somebody (usually for something they did or said that was just completely stupid)
“Did your parents have any children that lived?”
There are others, but they’ve already been mentioned above (namely, the “Where’s my two dollars?” and “It’s just a flesh wound”)
Great, Shadow, I can picture that scene in my head and cannot see the characters…it’s gonna bother me until someone puts us out of our misery.
" Just when I think I’m out, they keep pulling me back in. " Godfather 3.
Virtually any quote from the Godfather…
“It’s not personal, it’s business.”
“I made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.”
From the Untouchables: For every one of ours they take out, we take out two of theirs. (used when discussing some kind of stragety when playing sports.)
“I’m not even supposed to BE here today!!” from Clerks. I say this whenever I am at my wit’s end over something, whether I was supposed to be “here” or not.
Almost any line from The Breakfast Club, in various situations.
“Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I’ll never know cause I won’t eat the filthy mother fucker.” From Pulp Fiction, when I don’t want to try a new food. There are lots of good lines from Pulp Fiction.
Shirley & Shadow, “Did your mother ever have any kids that lived?” is from “Stand By Me.”
Some of my favorites:
“Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn!” --Better Off Dead
(used when giving directions)
“Where…is…my…automobile?” --Sixteen Candles (when trying to remember where I parked–if my sister’s with me, she’ll do the next line: “Au-to-mo-bile?”)
“Run away! Run away!” --Monty Python and the Holy Grail (used in any situation that turns unpleasant)
My sister’s fiance is an excellent movie-quoter. When I helped them move into a new apartment last summer, their cat was totally freaked out and managed to wedge herself behind the entertainment center. Scott’s response upon seeing this was, “Mav, we got a problem here. That MiG really messed him up.”
“I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Toto” When the situation changes
I thought it was “Gosh, Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore!”
This always cracks me up, because back in college, I had a friend from Toto, Indiana. It’s a real place. She had a dog named Kansas. I thought that was really, really clever, until one day I told her so, and she looked at me blankly.
So I said, “You take her on out-of-town trips, right? And then say ‘Gosh, Kansas, I have a feeling we’re not in Toto anymore.’”
She continued to look at me blankly.
And I had a feeling I wasn’t in Kansas anymore.

Shopping is still cheaper than therapy. --my Aunt Franny
