Journal Em Emalb's Journal: a few of my favorite movie quotes 18

Journal by Em Emalb

Heya folks, I was in Xerithane's journal and made a comment with one of my favorite movie lines in it, which got me thinking: I should create a small list of favorite movie quotes and get people to respond. Hey, yeah! It would be a great idea. Yeah, something like that. Anyway, here it is in all it's glory:

5)But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're all good kids until dried-out braindead scags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece or any other kid in this school and I hear about it, I'm comin' lookin' for you. Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat knaw that thing off your face. Good day to you madam.

4) The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist.

3)You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never to get involved in a land war in Asia. And only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

2) I am William Wallace, and before me, I see a whole ARMY of my countrymen here to battle the English. Ay, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives.... but they'll never take our FREEDOM!!

1)I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to.

So there you have it. This list is fluid, it changes every so often. these ones tend to stay near the top though. What's yours?

  • I quickly identified all of them but number 1. What was that from?

    • Uncle Buck. John Candy was a good man, and it was quite the funny scene in the movie. Had the kid from Home Alone in it, who is one scary little dude.

      Anyhow...there ya go.
      • No, that one is number 5. That one I got. (Here's a quarter. Go to the subway and find a rat to gnaw that thing off your face.) I meant the one numbered '1', which is actually fifth in the list.

        (do...do..do... That's right, only crapflooders post more than twice in two minutes..... It was so effective at blocking them....Don't you love a 'nerds' site where it is nearly impossible to post code due to 'lameness' filters? How much of slashcode would make it past?)
        • Ah yes, it appears I am about as retarded as the people that watch and laugh while the monkeys throw feces at them. Heh. yeah, a few good men. Many Jack quotes could make this list....although lately it appears Jack no longer acts, he just "be's" himself.

          *sigh*
    • #1 is Colonel Jessup (Jack, baby!) in A few Good Men

      1. I am squeegee man! Do you feel its power!?
      2. Gimmie dah casssshhh!!!!
      3. You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the superstates that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace. This is Mr. Romney Wordsworth, in his last forty-eight hours on Earth. He's a citizen of the State but will soon have to be eliminated, because he is built out of flesh and because he has a mind.
      • Don't know the first two, but do recognize the episode of TZ that the last one comes from. OBSOLETE!

        How many episodes of that was Burgess Meredith in anyway? I've got three (this one, "Time Enough at Last", and the one where he works the press at the newspaper).

        I wondered if the quote was from 'A Few Good Men'.

      • First, lemmie say that number 4 was from a great 'two watch' movie (a movie you watch once, to get the twist ending, then a second time to watch how people act towards the twist ending to see the forshadowing you missed). FYI - That's the "Usual Suspect" if you didn't know.

        Now, why I replied to you:
        I am squeegee man! Do you feel its power!?

        Don't get me started on Mystery Men... I could quote that movie alllll day. Its one of my favorites...

        I don't need a compass to know which way the sun shines!!

        Why am I balacing a hammer on my head?
        If you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you can head your opponents with a balanced attack!
        OK, then why am I wearing watermellons on my feet?
        I don't remember telling you to do that...

        Bwahahaha!
        • He who questions training only trains himself to question.

          Disco is NOT DEAD! Disco is Life!

          I'm not stab man or knifey boy.

          Jeffery! Are you smoking the marijuanna?

          Okay Dad, I avenge your death and then I go back to grad school -- that was the agreement!

          The woman is a Tiiiger!

          (on card) Dr. Heller... chicken rentals

          Dad, I'm going to my room with three strange men.

          • "MAMA PAJAMA!" (my favorite quote, from Mr. Furious when he sees Casanova Frankenstien blow up the insane asylum).

            Nemisisises... nemisize... nemisises.... what's the plural on that?

            Perhaps you'd like to put on clothes, if you want to fight crime today?

            Wooo... two hands there!

            How many switch-toggles will there be in to-tal?

            I've got a harley..... compatible.

            I tell you the salad man ALWAYS gets shafted by the steak man!

            You must be the master of your rage...
            Or the rage will become my master? That's what your were gonna say!
            Not... necessarily....

            And I've got my truth syrup... its fat free
            And I've been working on a theme song:
            WAFFLE MAAAAN! I am the waffler! Crispy crunchy, bad guys are history!

            K, now I'm drawing blanks... still morning for me... your turn ;-)
  • With the name William Wallace, and "FREEDOM", it wouldn't be hard to remember that quote. In fact, it's almost a classic.

    You guys mentioned the #1 & #5. Where are the others from? Apparently, I don't watch enough movies. Perhaps I should rent more movies and read more novels. When it comes to novels, I usually get stuck on Star Trek.
    • Number 3 was from The Princess Bride...great great movie. Watch it and love it.

      Number 4...well, number 4 is from The Usual Suspects. I guarantee you will like this movie. Has a few scenes of gore and some language, so hopefully you aren't squeemish.

      Rent those two today....you will like them I promise.
  • "Wang what the hell is going on?" from Big Trouble in Little China

    "You know how much I lust after your sister" from The Dead Hate the Living. Great quote, since I watched it with a friend who as a hot sister. When he said that, everybody looked at Chris and laughed, I believe he hit me rather soundly at that point...

    "I don't want to be in a mob that kills a black man" That line is the only reason to watch The Animal

    And for those of you that had to watch those cheesy movies of the Illiad in Lit class
    "Come my son, recieve my blessing" lets just say, this scene resembled child porn and leave it at that
    "I am angry, very angry" Spoken very monotone, and waving a cardboard lightening bolt.

    Ok, maybe these aren't the best quotes out there, but well, they do make me laugh.

  • I especially love number 5. The reason is, John Candy did a little adlibbing. I saw an interview with him in which he commented that, the part "Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat knaw that thing off your face." was added by himself without any preplanning or warning for any of the cast. It just came to him as he was doing that take. The actress acting with him in that scene did a great job of holding it together and not just busting up in laughter. I wonder if he did anything like that in any of his other movies?
    • cool to know that about Candy. As he was so funny on and off camera, I have no doubt he adlibbed a ton of stuff to his other movies as well.

      Shame he pulled a Belushi, and died too young...
  • Probably the only time Jon Lovitz has impressed me with his acting:

    I wanted you to know what you'd be missing. You think I don't appreciate art. You think I don't understand fashion. You think I'm not hip. You think I'm pathetic, a nerd, a lard-ass fatso. You think I'm shit. Well, you're wrong. 'Cause I'm champagne. And you're shit. And till the day you die, you, not me, will always be shit.
