"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!" (paraphrase)

[quote]I've got a bad feeling about this.

from......all the Star Wars movies.

You're too short for that gesture

Although it didn't originate in a movie, the withering contempt expressed by "DO that" has inspired me to say it occasionally. Two examples from the movies come to mind:

AUNTIE MAME

SALLY CATO: Ah'm just gonna hold mah breath until mornin'.

MAME: DO that, honey.

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE

MILLIE: Soy sauce! Isn't that amazing? I must write and tell mother.

99% of these quotes are never used in everyday conversation, which is the topic of the thread.

They're just random quotes from movies

I already posted this in the thread but frankly my dear r154, I don't give a damn

If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me!

In tbe 90s i was in a dentist chair getting my teeth cleaned and as the young hygienist approached me with a whirring metal puce I asked "Is it safe?"

She stopped, very surprised and said "Oh yes, it's a very safe procedure. The equipment makes some noises..."

I sheepishly told her it was a line from a scene in a famous movie with Dustin Hoffman called Marathon Man as he is being tortured with a dentist drill by a Nazi doctor. She was probably a fetus when the movie was released. She just squinted and nodded her head at me.

I was so embarrassed

[quote] If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me!

That wasn't even in a movie. It was a quote from Alice Roosevelt Longworth

The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life. -Aunt Ida Nelson, Female Trouble

I use it all the time around my straight friends. They think it's hilarious.

Go ahead. Make my day

What the hell... this should have been thread photo. Dayum.

Stop calling me shirley

“I saw, I conquered and then I came.”

Someone help me figure out what movie that’s from. It’s about 20-22 years old and Henry Czerny was in it. I love saying this in bed. And if I don’t say it, I’m thinking it.

Yippee Kai Aye mitherfucker

Yonda lies the castle of my foddah

"Coffee is for closers only." Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross.

You're NOT. YOUNG.

They're heeere!

r158 It's also in "Steel Magnolias."

Yessss!

-Home Alone

I mean, come on guys, this one is so lexicon, can’t believe y’all missed it.

Though it's fallen out of the lexicon "horrorshow" came into regulate usage after it was used ithe movie (and book) Clockwork Orange.

It's from the Russian word хороший, which means good. But Alex is a violent sociopath and uses "horrorshow" to describes terrible acts of violence which please him.

People began to describe violence as horror show..

"And that is when the real horror show began"

To young people - Clickeork Irange was a book that became very popular in the early 70s. I read it and so did every teenager I knew. The author Anthony Burgess said he based the main character Alex on Mick Jagger. Burgess saw The Rolling Stones performing on TV and Jagger was singing and moving very sexually and quite obviously portraying himself as a "bad boy." After the performance Jagger was interviewed and Burgess was surprised st how literate and well educated Jagger actually was. That's when he came up with the idea of a teenaged boy who didn't just pretend to be violent and sexually sadistic, but actually was these things, but he also had a great live for classical music, particularly Beethoven. He set the book in a near future" England and made up a slang teens used called "nadsat," which was mostly based in Russian words but also a bit of Cockney rhyming slang. There was a glossary in the back of the book one had to frequently refer to in order to understand the dialog, but it was considered fun, not a drag, to master nadsat.

Another expression from the book and move was "a bit of the old in and out" for sex. It was quoted by Steve Buscemi in Fargo.

Clickeork Irange

Christ I'm an idiot on my iPhone.

A few years ago, I challenged a friend at work to say nothing but lines from All About Eve in office meetings for an entire week. If we spoke in meetings, it had to be an appropriate line from the move, which we knew by heart. It was surprisingly easy to find a line relevant to any work situation, and no one caught on to what we were doing. It was fun!

We were going to try it again with Sunset Boulevard, but never did.

Another time, we spent an entire day recasting I, Claudius with people we worked with. That was fun, too! I miss working with old queens.

Soylent Green is PEOPLE

"What is your damage, Heather?" "Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?' "Corn nuts!"

Speaking of Fargo, ‘You know when it’s Jose Feliciano, you got no complaints.’

Ok, it’s not something people use in every day conversations but I always say “He’s fleein’ the interview!” Like I’ll walk outside and a deer will be in my backyard and it starts running , I’ll say to my husband “He’s fleein the interview!” Or I see someone make a sharp 3 point turn and zoom back in the other direction

R188, I say that a lot too. I also say ‘You know when it’s [insert something you like here], you got no complaints.’

Yeah but - now is the time to pretend.

"I thought it was my mother's douche bag -- but that's in Ohio."

"I'm not a lesbian!! I hate men, but I'm not a lesbian!!"

Elaine Benes on the subway, Seinfeld.

Charming. To the last.

"It's just a flesh wound."

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

The Black Knight (John Cleese) to King Arthur (Graham Chapman), after losing both arms in the heat of combat.

Things that go bump in the night.

"Failure is not an option." Ion TV keeps running an ad for NCIS:LA in which Linda Hunt intones that. I cannot reach the mute button quickly enough. I am so sick of hearing that quote.

Houston, we have a problem.

"Remain calm, all is well!"

Trump uses this a lot.

I'd like to kiss you, but I just washed my hair.

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

"Doesn't she look ghastly? I thought she was dead. I must get a closer look!" - Harvey (1950)

Your life is going down the toilet

“That’s what *she* said”

My sister and I use it all the time.

[quote]we didn’t need dialogue, we had faces.

—B. Davis

ARE YOU SERIOUS!?? A couple hundred replies, and no one told this fool that this quote is from Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard"?!!

actually, growing up I only heard the middle part quoted, but with more exclamation; "I thought she/he was dead!", definitely didn't affect me! Harvey's a beautiful James Stewart film, so please don't let me put you off

“Show me the money!”

-The Color of Money (?)

I think the phrase was newly in common parlance when the movie use it.

No, the movie created that phrase.

I have sufficient.

I use this one a lot:

"You made love to me Christmas morning"

Love her bumblebee themed outfit! 🐝🐝🐝

It puts the lotion on its skin.

The expression “toast” is from Ghostbusters. “This chick is toast.” After that, a million movies & tv shows declared someone/something “toast.”

Razzzberries.

I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse

If you build it, he will come

"Well, every family has its ups and downs."

Kate H., in "The Lion in Winter."

Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?

It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world.....But for Wales?

This line from Die Hard, "The quarterback IS toast!" Thanks, R217. Ghostbusters was released in 1984; Die Hard in 1988.

Also, "I totally paused!" from Clueless. My MOM said this line one day as she rolled through a Stop sign. We all burst out laughing! Mom must have been in her 60s at the time.

"Oh my God, it's a fucking nightmare!" from My Cousin Vinny.

Life is hard. But it’s harder if you’re stupid

“Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.“

Jerry Maguire, R212.

Another one from Clueless - "That was way harsh." That's common parlance in my set.

Did someone cover the offer you can't refuse?

No more yanky my wanky -- the Donger needs food!

"Did you hear that?"

"Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo; so long ago when there was nothing but our love."

Well, no one says this in every day conversations. But I wish they did.

[quote] Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?

That line greatly precedes the movie. It has long been an oral legend for generations that King Henry II actually said something like this, long before "Becket" the movie.

What about from a tv show-THIRTYSOMETHING. No one used that expression before the show went on the air. Thirty something, twenty something ,etc.

You think nobody referred to someone’s age as twenty-something or thirty-something prior to the 1980s?!

[quote] It has long been an oral legend for generations

What a coincidence, me too!

r236 wins!

You're a WHORE darlin.

"Make that coffee 'to go.'" Joe Pesci, Goodfellas, speaking to Frankie. (Just shot / killed Stacks, who was at home, sleeping.)

Meaning: "Let's get the hell out of here."

"Enchante to you, too!"

THANK YOU R210... I mean Jesus H Christ R63 do you HAVE brain damage?

(But wait I'm not done...)

R205, that quote is from a Warner Bros picture with ...

Get me a Bromo. And put a little gin in it.

"Barbara Jean is having another collapse." - "Nashville."

"I pardon you." (pronounced "I PAR doe yew.") - Liz Taylor's "Cleopatra," from a scene where Rex Harrison's Julius Caesar is teaching his and her son (a non-English-speaking little kid) how to be a leader. When someone apologizes.

"Au reservoir." - If you have to ask, you are not truly gay.

"But ya are, Blanche." - See "Au reservoir."

"L'amour, l'amour." - Countess DeLave

"Oh, the publicity! La publicité!" - Countess DeLave

"Who loves you, baby?" - "Kojak" (Yes, I know it's not a movie.) Taken not from Telly but from an episode where Suzanne Pleshette, a flame, has been a turncoat to Kojak and finally turns up with evidence bad for her and drops it on his desk. She turns at the door and says it in her smoked-up baritone.

"I'm dying, Egypt, dying." - Shakespeare's "Antony & Cleopatra," of course. Used when we're sick at my house. Or feeling just a little off.

King Henry said “turbulent.” The movie changed it to “meddlesome,” so it *is* a movie line.

Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.

Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Here’s looking at you, kid.

Major Straßer has been shot! Round up the usual suspects.

[italic] What would you give me for a basket of kisses?

"He's AC/DC .......... He likes men AND boys"

Dee-ya.

When I see a deer in my backyard I say, “thairz a dee-ya in the yod, prancin around”

"…dancin' around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!"

I use this line whenever I see people acting lively or jumping/dancing around in unusual places.

r243 A Mapp & Lucia fan, I see? I think it's getting to be that time of year to re-read all the stories.

BTW, how is your portcullis operating?

My favorite movie quote is from No Country for Old Men when Anton Chigurh was pointing a captive bolt pistol at Woody Harrelson's character: "If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"

Another fave from Empire Records:

"Shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior!"

“No matter where you go, there you are.”

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.

I still say "I'm/we're not worthy!!!" on a regular basis

Soooo many Christopher Guest-slash-Spinal Tap references are used in my home on the daily:

"But...this one goes to 11." (SPINAL TAP)

"Too MUCH fucking perspective." (SPINAL TAP)

"Shit sandwich." (SPINAL TAP)

"WHERE'S BUSY BEE!?!?!?!!!!!" (BEST IN SHOW)

I've always depended on the kindness of strangers.

Boy, is he strict.

"You're a whore, darlin'" - extremely effective.

“If you’ve got it, flaunt it, baby!”

From the original Producers. It was used in an ad campaign afterwards.

"Fifteen pieces of flair" from OFFICE SPACE

"SHIT on your MOTHER!"

Do tag lines count? I always play with Aliens’ tagline of “In Space No One Can Hear You Scream“ so it will be like “In Kyle’s bedroom no one can hear you scream.“

"I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow."

It's from a TV show., not a movie. But I regularly use this phrase from SNL's "David Pumpkins" sketch when some person, thing or experience doesn't live up to one's expectations:

"It's a Hundred. Floors. Of. Fright. They ain't all gonna be winners!"

[quote]I've got qualities that don't come shining through right at the outset.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Cowsrd Robert Ford

'It's a Zen thing, like "how many babies fit in a tire," you know, the old joke.'

Using movie quotes daily, how unoriginal.

Peasants.

“Harder! Harder! Give it to me!”

Reply in response to"where's so-and-so?"

"She was out back takin' a shit and the hogs ate her."

I manage to say this at least twice a week.
