The line is actually: “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion…”
This makes a little more sense than “shores”, Orion being a constellation.
My personal fave:
“No, Mister Bond, I expect you to die!”
Closely rivalled by:
“That’s a Smith & Wesson, Doctor, and you’ve had your six.”
Freyr: the line is actully “I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more.” The consistant misquoting has always mystified me.
My favourite comes from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. Randall McMurphy (the Jack Nicholson character) has just lost his bet that he could lift the central water faucet contrapation in the shower room. He’s strained every sinew in his body trying to lift it, and he’s plainly, totally failed. It’s the first time the rest of the inmates have ever seen him fail. They’re lost in silence, and the mood is one of shock, disappointment and - in some quarters - gloating at his failure. In order to leave by the door, McMurphy has to walk past them all - staring at him as if he’s let himself down, and let them all down. He trudges to the door. As he reaches it, and before he leaves, he turns to look at them all. He fires off his parting shot:
“Well I tried, didn’t I, goddamit? At least I did that.”
My other favourite comes from Bringing Up Baby and won’t mean a thing unless you’ve seen the movie. And if you haven’t, shame on you.
Katharine Hepburn: “I was born on the side of a hill. I was born on the side of a hill.”
She’s never looked sillier, funnier or more beautiful.
“Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” The Princess Bride
“Where all the white women at?” Blazing Saddles
“If you believe you’re playing well because you’re getting laid or because you’re not getting laid or because you wear women’s underwear, then you are! And you should know that!” Bull Durham
“You ever dance with the devil by the pale moonlight? I always ask that of all my prey. I just like the sound of it.” Batman
“Rosebud”-Citizen Kane
“I coulda been a contender”-On the Waterfront
“Coffe’s for closers”-Glengarry Glenross
“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate”-Cool Hand Luke
“Nothing is written!”-Lawrence of Arabia
“I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. demille”-Sunset Boulevard
“The stuff that dreams are made of”-Maltese Falcon
“They call me Mr. Tibbs!”-In the heat of the night
“I vant to be alone”-Grand Hotel
Come to think of it, if somebody was seriously compiling a list of “All-Time Best Movie Lines”, they could save a lot of work by starting with the IMDB’s Top 250 list:
Store Owner: Hey, freeze bitch!
(Sounds of guns being drawn and cocked)
Mike: You freeze, bitch.
Store Owner: Oh st…I’m f*ed.
Mike: Now back up. Put the gun down, and get me a pack of Tropical Fruit Bubblicious.
Marcus: And some Skittles.
The delivery of ‘and some skittles’ cracks me up every time.
