Best line in a movie David Caruso as Horatio wishes he could think of:
Joe Don Baker in “Walking Tall” (to the question: “Where’s your search warrant?”): “I keep it in my shoe” (kicks door in).
Best name for a guy you wouldn’t want to make fun of it for: “Buford Pusser.”

The category of best uninterrupted shot is one that is dear to my heart. I will agree that the top two are probably Touch of Evil and The Player (in that order IMHO). Larry McConkey’s incredible steadicam from Goodfellas is also amazing.I’ve never seen . The amount of choreography required to pull off the shot- hard to believe. Most fights are shot hand-held with a cut every two seconds, but here is a multi-story fight in a four minute uninterrupted take. Totally worth checking out.C’etait un Rendezvous still gives me chills every time I see it. Watch and be amazed!!
I can’t find a cite on IMDB, but I’m pretty sure that the square dance scene in Cat Ballou was shot as one uninterrupted shot, but had cut-aways to the hayloft added in editing because the producer felt a single shot was too distracting. I think it was mentioned in the audio commentary track, if you have access to the DVD.
