Movies Greatest One-Liners...Ever!

[MrPresident]

There was a recent poll to find the best one-liners in films. This was the top 10:


10 • "He's not the Messiah - he's a very naughty boy" (Monty Python's Life of Brian)

9 • "Infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me." (Carry On Cleo)

8 • "I do wish we could chat longer. But I'm having an old friend for dinner." (Silence of the Lambs)

7 • "All my life I wanted to be a gangster." (Goodfellas)

6 • "I'll have what she's having. (When Harry Met Sally)

5 • "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning." Apocalypse Now

4 • "You talkin' to me?" (Taxi Driver)

3 • "We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here and we want them now" (Withnail & I)

2 • "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." (Gone With The Wind)

And the winner is...

1 •"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off" (The Italian Job)


The worst one-liner was "Was it raining? I didn't notice" (Four Weddings and a Funeral)

Italian Job - real classic and deserving winner

Quote BBC Article
The Italian Job is currently being remade with a US cast, led by Planet of the Apes star Mark Wahlberg.

Uh oh, better warn the bus driver to be careful.

I think they have changed it so that it is now set in LA...yet another reason to hate Hollywood.

 

[Supernaut]

Of course, quote No 10 is from Monty Python's Life of Brian - just thought I'd get in before the other pedants

As for the remake of the Italian Job, they've been talking about this for ages - Sly Stallone was in the frame once I recall - never happened and I hope never will. Why can't these people leave well alone - there are enough good ideas out there that they don't have to keep recycling old ones.

i hate the idea of the italian job being remade by americans.

No one-liners from Fletch? I am outraged that there is a one-liner competition, and neither Chevy Chase nor Rodney Dangerfield are mentioned.

 

[cromagnon]

Bring some up, Metalhead!

How about "Do you feel lucky, punk?" (Dirty Harry)

 

[nixon]

I agree with cromagnon.

Eastwood rules! :worshp:

 

[metalhead]

Fletch, when walking in on a woman wrapped in a towel after getting out of the shower: "Can I borrow your towel? My car just hit a water buffalo."

Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack, going into the country club pro shop with his Asian buddy: "Now Wang, this is a pretty exclusive place, so don't tell them you're Jewish."

 

[Darkness]

"I'll be back"

 

[addiv]

What about the last line in the movie Fight Club:
"You met me in a very strange period in my life"
(You should have seen them movie to appreciate this of course)

 

[Simon Darkshade]

That is a good one, along similar lines as Nicholas Cage in Con Air, who when seeing a car attached to the rear of the plane he is on, exclaims in a deadpan manner "On any other day that would seem strange"

 

[jack merchant]

"Consider this a divorce" :shotgun:

 

[Wolfe Tone]

I always liked 'Yippiekayay mother f******' from Die Hard.

 

[Gaidin]

Remember Kris Kristofferson from Blade anyone?

"Catch you f***ers at a bad time!!!"

 

[wtiberon]

Tombstone is full of em:

Gunman: Look its the Piano player..your to drunk to shoot..in fact your probably seeing double

Doc Holliday: Well I got two guns...one for each of ya
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Johnny: Behold a pale horse and the man who sat on him was death....and hell followed with him

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cactus Jack: Where's Wyatt

Doc: Down by the creek...walking on water
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Johnnie: (drunk) Will noone play for blood?!!!

Doc: I'm your huckleberry and thats just my game
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wyatt : Been hitting it awful hard, haven't ya?

Doc : Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Woody Allen's character in Love and Death making the moves on Diane Keaton's character in bed:

Keaton: "No Boris! I don't love you, and sex without love is just an empty experience."

Allen: "That's true, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best."

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill my father. Prepare to die!"

 

[Gaidin]

"It's inconcievable!!"

I just watched that movie again last night. I laughet at the line when one of the cons found out his identity and shot him he said...
"I told you to put down the bunny."
