Some great contributions already i see :cool::cool::cool:

Here`s another couple of film quotes i really like , in fact this next clip is full of them thanks to two of my favourite character actors ever Ronny Cox (Vilos Cohaagen) and Michael Ironside (Richter)

"Cause otherwise i`ll erase your ass ! "

Whereas this is just the one word from Robocop

" Murphy "

Next clip is for those who want to see the full scene and a bit extra ;)

"Said I didn't have much use for one - never said I didn't know how to use one."
Quigley to his now dying employer Alan Rickman

"Oh man, don't hit me so early with those negative waves. It's a mother beautiful bridge, and it's gonna be there. Think it'll be there - and it'll be there. Okay?"
"Okay chief."
Oddball talking to his driver Moriarty (Donald Sutherland & Gavin McLeod)

Cheyenne (Jason Robards) to Jill (Claudia Cardinale): "You know, Jill, you remind me of my mother. She was the biggest whore in Alameda and the finest woman that ever lived. Whoever my father was, for an hour or for a month - he must have been a happy man". (Once Upon A Time In The West).

Starbuck to Ahab: "Thou hast outraged, not insulted me, Sir; but for that I ask thee not to beware of Starbuck; thou wouldst but laugh; but let Ahab beware of Ahab; beware of thyself, old man." (Moby Dick).

Iago (to Othello):
O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. (Othello)

Finally, I'd like to draw your attention to my signature, which was Einstein's rather playful and tongue-in-cheek response to a very big question.

"Ayyyyyyy"

I don't think that's quite right - that exchange is usually quoted as being between Churchill & Liverpool MP Bessie Braddock, although I have seen it attributed to others I tend to go with the Bessie Braddock version for the simple reason that she was spectacularly ugly.

The most famous Lady Astor exchange was;

Lady Astor:
"If you were my husband I'd poison your coffee."
Churchill:
"If you were my wife, I'd drink it."

Frank Zappa Quotes
 

I found Mr. Zappa's quotations interesting, thought provoking and funny.
Here is a list. http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/zappa.htm

Perhaps my personal favorite comes from the 'Roxy and Elsewhere' sessions, where he states at the beginning of a song

"Jazz isn't dead - It just smells funny"

Jules... "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee".

"I have sworn eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind of man" - Thomas Jefferson

Patrick Henry on governmental power:

"If you give too little power today, you may give more tomorrow. But the reverse of the proposition will not hold. If you give too much power today, you cannot retake it tomorrow: For tomorrow will not come for that purpose."

He obviously didn't feel so compelled when it came to extending these same sentiments to the tyranny his slaves must have endured.

From Carry On Abroad.
Kenneth Williams approaches the hotel desk which is manned by Peter Butterworth:
"OOOOoooo hellooo I'm Stewart Farquar"
Peter Butterworth : "Stupid what?"

And subsequently continues to call Williams Mister Farky Arse throughout the rest of the film.

**Sid James has the best moniker ever invented in the movie. VIC FLANGE. I love that name. If ever in the future I have to change my name that one there will be my new name.

Here`s a few more picture making scenes from classic films , which along with the performances of the actors involved became such thanks to their classic quotable lines :D

Taxi Driver
" You talk`n to me ? "


The Warriors (Not that many quotes in this clip , but it`s another favourite and when they do appear they really appear )
"Maybe we better take off ? "


Doctor Strangeglove
" I can walk ! "


The Shining
" Bash your brains in "
"Here`s Johnny ! "

:cool:

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls George Carlin

- "The ambassador and the general were briefing me on the - the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful free world And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice."

Mind you 25 years ago was about 25 years ago now , so fair comment :rolleyes:

Churchill, Clement Attlee and the empty taxi.
 

You might well be right maxedout: I tend to go with Nancy Astor only because its so well known how sincerely the two of them hated one another.

Another comment always attributed to Churchill is that after Clement Attlee defeated Churchill in the 1945 General Election, Churchill remarked:

''An empty taxi arrived at No 10 Downing Street and when the door was opened, Mr Clement Attlee got out.''

Churchill was well known for his pithy and deadly one-line put downs, but though I have always believed this cruel and rapier thrust was his, I have recently learned that he vehemently disowned it:

''Mr Attlee is an honourable and gallant gentleman, and a faithful colleague who served his country well at the time of her greatest need. I should be obliged if you would make it clear whenever an occasion arises that I would never make such a remark about him, and that I strongly disapprove of anyone who does.'' [Kenneth Harris: Attlee]. If Churchill had not rated Attlee he would have found ways to sideline him in the Co-alition Cabinet of 1940-45, but in fact Attlee was a key player in that government and, crucially, never undermined his Conservative boss or played party politics when the survival of Britain was on the line. Churchill was a merciless political bruiser but also fair and loyal to colleagues if they were fair and loyal to him. This denial rings true to me.

Its a shame in one way because it remains a brilliant put-down one liner.

You can't always believe what you hear.

Some of my favorite Norm-isms from "Cheers". Sam: How's life treating you, Norm? Norm: Like it found me in bed with his wife. Sam: How's it going, Norm? Norm: It's a dog eat dog world out there Sammy, and I'm wearing milkbone underwear. Sam: How's life treating you, Norm? Norm: Like a baby treats a diaper, Sammy.

Clever and very barbed comment from Margot Asquith, wife of the former Prime Minister.

When the actress Jean Harlow kept pronouncing the 't' at the end of her first name, Margot announced in a loud voice "The 't' is silent ... as in 'Harlow'!"
