the most iconic lines of all time

[spider-neil]

'SWEAR to ME!!!!!'

 

[The Joker]

"I met him, fifteen years ago. I was told there was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong. I met this six-year-old child, with this blank, pale, emotionless face and, the blackest eyes... the devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up because I realized what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil."

Epic.

^and repeated, it was already posted just a couple posts above it by Bruce Banner.

"Back off man, I'm a scientist."

 

[Poetic Chaos]

English motherf***er, do you speak it?

 

[misjuevos]

"am i the prettiest", "sho'nuff"
"am i the meanest", "sho'nuff"
"who am i", "sho'nuff"

 

[TruerToTheCore]

"Round up the usual suspects."
"We'll always have Paris"
"Play it once, Sam, for old times"
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"

That's because I am so romantic

 

[Bruce Banner]

Yo she *****.... lets go!


HEERRREEESSS JOOOHNNNNYYY!

Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

"The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you. So you know... try to show a little respect." - Dr. Alan Grant

Not exactly iconic but I really like that line.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

"Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb. "

Now that's great!

 

[Bruce Banner]

"Call me Snake"

"You see in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig."

"It's not the years, honey; it's the mileage"

"You wanna to talk to God? Let's go see him together, I've got nothing better to do."

"WILSON!"


Nuffsaid....you just posted something of sheer epic awesomeness

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

SWAT came into my house, disrespected my whole family because somebody narc'd me out! And you know what? IT WAS YOU!

What's this from?

 

[Laderlappen]

I find it interesting that several of the most iconic lines ever like:
"Luke, I am your father"
"Play it again Sam"
"Fly my pretties fly"
"Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?"
"Call it, freindo"

doesnt exist.

 

[danoyse]

never heard of these

Netflix some Marx Bros movies!

They have quotes that can take up a whole thread:

"One morning, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know."

"Just remember, I saw her first. Actually, her mother saw her first, but there's no need to bring the Civil War into this."

"If this is a singing lesson, then I'm a ringtailed monkey!
This is a singing lesson, and leave your family out of it."

(to the audience) "You know, I have to be here, but there's no reason you folks can't wait in the lobby until this whole thing blows over."

"You expect me, the president of Huxley college, to go to a speakeasy without knowing the address?"

"Swordfish!"

"I got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it."

"You're a brave man. Go and break through the lines. And remember, while you're out there risking life and limb through shot and shell, we'll be in here thinking what a sucker you are."

"Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did."

"I could dance with you until the cows come home. On second thought, I'd rather dance with the cows until you come home."

"Not that I care, but where is your husband?
Why, he's dead.
I bet he's just using that as an excuse.
I was with him to the very end.
No wonder he passed away.
I held him in my arms and kissed him.
Oh, I see, then it was murder. Will you marry me? Did he leave you any money? Answer the second question first."

"You've got the brain of a 4-year-old child, and I bet he was glad to be rid of it."

"What are you doing here?
I'm the plumber. I'm hanging around in case something goes wrong with her pipes.
(to audience) That's the first time I've used that joke in 20 years."

"Why don't you go home to your wife. Tell you what, I'll go home to your wife, and outside of the improvement, she'll never know the difference."

"What do you think of the traffic problem? What do you think of the marriage problem? What do you think when you go to bed at night, you beast?"

I knew way too many of those off the top of my head.

 

[Franklin Richards]

"Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great - so called - told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. With nothing they came and with nothing they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history."

From A Hard Day's Night:

"How did you find America?
Turned left at Greenland."

When the woman thinks she recognizes John backstage:

"Oh, wait a minute, don't tell me who you are."
"No, I'm not!"
"Oh, you are!"
"I'm not."
"You are! I know you are!"
"I'm not, no"
"You look just like him."
"Do I? You're the first one that's said that, ever."
"Yes you do, look.
"No, my eyes are lighter, the nose..."
"Oh, your nose is very..."
"Is it?"
"I would say so."
"Oh, you know him better though."
"I do not, he's only a casual acquaintance."
"That's what you say."
"What have you heard?"
"It's all over the place."
"Is it really?"
"I wouldn't have it. I stood up for you."
"I knew I could count on you."
"Thanks."
(she puts on her glasses and checks him out again)
"You don't look like him at all."
(John walks away)
"She looks more like him than I do..."

"B*****s, leave."

Get to dee choppa!

 

[hopefuldreamer]

'28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds'

'you shall not pass'

'Before we let you leave, your commander must cross that field, present himself before this army, put his head between his legs, and kiss his own arse'

'Magic has to be believed. That's the only way it's real'

 

[Poetic Chaos]

What's this from?

The Fast and the Furious. That and Varsity Blues are probably my two most quoted films with my group of friends.

"I don't want your life!"

 

[batman11]

Are you watching closely?

Certainly not iconic, but it's one of my favorites ever. It intertwines itself with the theme and plot of the film so perfectly, and it creates a wonderful way to start the film. Because face it, if your answer is 'No,' you should leave. LOL.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

"We had 2 bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, 5 sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls."

"All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?"
"**** THE POOR!"

Bearnaise: "I don't like your cuffs!... I don't like your cuffs! I don't like your cuffs! A man's cuffs should be even with the tip of his 'pee-pee'. Yours are all the way down to your balls!"

And of course:

King Louis XVI: "It's good to be the king!"
