    I was thinking "The truth is out there." but it's not in a movie.

    My favourite is: "I'm big. It's the pictures that got small."

        It's a collection of lines really..."the speech" by Hugo Weaving (aka Agent Smith in The Matrix) to the sleeping masses in V For Vendetta especially the line: "because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power". He sounds almost reverential when he says it. Also "the truth is there is something terribly wrong with this country isn't there?" And "I thought we could take some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat". He chides the population in such a civilized and genteel way.

    Gordon Gekko (Wall Street): The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

    Unfortunately greed isn't good, greed really has messed up the corporation which really is a corporation called the USA.

    This is "THE" line:

    Howard Beale (Network, 1976):

    I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.

    You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

Someday this war's gonna end (sigh)." Apocalypse Now

    Incidentally, the "napalm" speech was voted as the best speech in a movie in a survey back in 2004. source: 'Napalm' speech tops movie poll"

        Some more fun ones, from three of my all-time favorite movies:

        "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" - Captain Renault, Casablanca

        And Rick, from the same movie: "If she can take it, so can I. Play it!" (Bogart did the tortured male ego better than anyone else, ever.)

        "And crawling... on the planet's face... some insects... called the human race. Lost in time... lost in space... and meaning." - The Criminologist.

        "Don't dream it. Be it." - Frank N Furter.

        If you don't recognize those, go out and get a copy of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and watch it, immediately.

        Glinda, from the Wizard of Oz: "Go away, before someone drops a house on you, too."

        I've used that last one often. It's quite effective at ending certain types of unwanted conversations.

            It's the "kid" that's throwing me; there's been some variation on this in several movies... but I can remember the scene where this happens! I can even see the actor saying it, but I can't remember his name! I'll PM you what I can remember before I hit Bing; don't want to spoil anyone else's effort.

            I have to admit - this one was driving me crazy. I THOUGHT I had it, but I was wrong (I looked it up).

            The movie it comes from I HAVE seen, but I would never have remembered.

      I had to go through this whole thread to make sure what I decided to pick
      wasn't already said. Oh, and TL, it was Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.

      Anyway, how do you pick one line?

      I mean for crying out loud, there have been so many great lines in movie
      history. It would take me a month of Sundays to list them all.

      But okay, some that haven't been mentioned yet.

      Apologies if I missed any of these above. The movies themselves need
      no mentioning.

      "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more."

      "Auntie Em - there's no place like home!"

      "It was beauty killed the beast."

      "Rosebud."

      "I coulda been a contender"

      "Teacher says, every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings."

      "They're here."

      "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth"

      "I'll have what she's having."

      and one toughie

      "Baltimore? That's like being hit in the head with a crow bar once a day."

      I'd keep going but then I'd be up to 3 AM.

      My thanks to the wonderful writers who gave us these lines and so many
      more to quote to our kids.

      Without them...actors would still be waiting tables at La Grenouille.

        Well now you really have me stumped. Is there a prize fro whoever gets it right? :rolleyes:

        We agree on one thing though, although you are not a big TC fan, I'm not a TC fan - at all. And that was definitely not Newman's best role either, but it's the one he got an Oscar for. Go figure.

          Nah. By this point, no-one is likely to guess it.

          That was James Coburn to Bruce Boxleitner, in "The Baltimore Bullet." Yet another pool movie, but more fun than most. And memorable mostly for that one line.

    Simon: You asked a question, sir, let me answer it. The genius of the Constitution is that it can always be changed. The genius of the Constitution is that it makes no permanent rule other than its faith in the wisdom of ordinary people to govern themselves.

    Professor Pitkannan Faith in the wisdom of the people is exactly what makes the Constitution incomplete and crude.

    Simon: Crude? No sir. Our founding parents were pompous, middle aged, white farmers, but they were also great men. Because they knew one thing that all great men should know--that they didn't know everything. They knew they were going to make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. They didn't think of themselves as leaders; they wanted a government of citizens, not royalty. A government of listeners not lecturers. A government that could change, not stand still. The President isn't an elected King, no matter how many bombs he can drop because the crude Constitution doesn't trust him. He's a servant of the people. He's a bum, okay Mr. Pitcannon? He's just a bum. And the only bliss that he's searching for is freedom and justice.
