Quote:

"Listen, strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government."

The scene with the old man/Dennis in Monty Pyhton and the Quest for the Holy Grail.

"Look, if I went around saying I was emperor just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!"

"It could be carried by an African swallow!"

"She turned me into a newt!"

"Very small rocks!"

"Some call me..... Tim."

"These are dark times when passing ruffians can say 'Ni' at will to old ladies."

"Yes, I am a shrubber. Roger the Shrubber. I arange, design, and sell shrubberies."

"You shall get us..... ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!"

"And you must cut down the largest tree in the forest wiiiith..... A HERRING!"

"When danger reered it's ugly head he bravely turned his tail and fled."

"And his kneecaps split and his body burned away..."

"Your arms off!
No it isn't."

"Son of a window dresser."

"Go boil your bottoms sons of a silly person."

"Empty-headed animal food trough wiper."

"Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time."

"Perhaps if we built a large wooden badger."

"Where, behind the rabbit?
It IS the rabbit!"

"Oh, I always tell them, but do they listen? NOOOOO."

"Cover me.
With what?
Just cover me"

And in conclusion:

"DISMOUNT!"

It's hard to stop once you start.

Mmm, that was stunning, I agree.

OK, that's cheating. But the singing sequence and also the very end with John C. Reilly's voice-over are both amazing.

I love that scene too.

I will see your scenes and raise you the final scene in "Dirty Pretty Things" and the first scene in "Harold and Maude" (I am in an odd mood).

The scene in Leon: The Profesional when Leon hands the badguy all the pins from the gernades and blows up the apartment while Natalie Porman runs down the street with his plant. (Awsome)
Braveheart's Freedom Speach (Inspiring)
The "I love the smell of Naplam in the morning...it smells like victory" from Apocolypse Now (Just Great)
Sayings of Yoda and C-3PO and R2D2 remarks
Any lines about bugs from Starship Troopers
The 'father' speech in 10 things I hate about you
uhh that's all I can think of at the moment

Amen on the Magnolia thing. Best part is Earl Partridge's monologue and the song. Made me cry.

The "Pie Jesu Domine" scene in The Holy Grail. *whack*

The Miracle Max scene in The Princess Bride.

The part in Before Sunrise where they're in the bar and faking talking on the phone, and the part with the homeless guy writing the poem.

The "Papa! I'll say anything, just don't go!!!" scene from The Patriot.

Uma Thurman and John Travolta doing the twist in Pulp Fiction.

When everyone kneels down to the hobbits in The Return of the King. And when all the beacons light up.

David Duchovny and his dog crying in front of the door in Return to Me.

The train scene in Spiderman 2.

When the guys beat the crap out of the copy machine in Office Space. You have no idea how happy that scene makes me, lol.

"Ferris Bueller, you're my hero!"

Anyway.

This one:

Amazing shot, and the music by Yann Tiersen makes it incredible.

Braveheart:

Who are you talking to? / The Lord. / What's he saying? / I'll be fine, but you're f****d!

Apocalypse Now

"You smell that? It's napalm, son. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, that gasoline smell..."

The Princess Diaries:

"Shut up!"

"Get off the lawn! Ne marche pas sur la pelouse! Joukeezoo hai, pindu wah!"

So I Married an Axe Murderer:

You look ridiculous. / I look fine! / You look like Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch!

Actually, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

Tais-Toi:

When I'm sad, I like to eat jam. I bought some at the pharmacy. Ah, s***! It's laxitive jam. (Quentin continues to eat the jam anyway)

You want to make me happy? / Well, yeah! / Repeat after me: Yes, I'm a cop, I work for the Criminal Investigation Department, and I'm looking to recover the 20 million. / Yes, I'm a cop, I work for the Criminal Investigation Department, and I'm looking to recover the 20 million. / Now isn't that better? / Sure. So we can team up now? / Are you making fun of me? / Not at all. / Call them. / Okay. Who? / CID, you idiot! / Ah. Okay. What's the number? / You don't know the number??? / Why would I? / You just told em that you worked for them!!! / You said that would make you happy!

Monty Python:

Is there anything anybody would rather be doing than marching up and down the square???

And the list goes on and on and on...

jazmin · 10-11-2004, 10:02 PM

hte most rediculous scene in any movie is when arnold swartzenegar walks into a pub with no clothes on and like checks out these guys for their clothes then steals them and takes off with his bike and a gun

I love the scene that follows:

"It bit his leg sort of, off."

"I have a book I'd like to read!"
"You have a book you'd like to read??? Right, then! Off you go!"
"Is there anything ELSE anybody would rather be doing than marching up and down the square???"
"I'd like to go visit my mother."
"You'd like to go visit your mummy???? Right, then! Off you go!"
"Is there anything ELSE ANYBODY would rather be doing than marching up and down the square???"
"I'd like to go to the show."
"You'd like to go the the show??? Would anybody else like to go to the show???" (Recruits all put up ther hands)
"Right! Off you go. Right! Sergeant-Major marching up and down the square all by himself!!! Left, right, left, right!!!"

Cyrano:

"Qu'à la fin de l'envoie, je touche!"

Ice Age:

-Awww! Little tigey-wigey gets left behind...Poor little Tigey-Wigey.
-Sid, little Tigey-Wigey is leading the way!

-Spit that out! You don't know where he's been.
-For a second there, I thought you were actually gonna eat me.
-I don't eat junk food.

-Check for poop.
-Why am I the poop-checker?
-Because returning the runt was your idea, because you're small and insignificant, and because I'll pummel you if you don't!
[pause]
-Why else?
-NOW, SID!

[edit]

The Princess Diaries 2:

-Shut UP!

-If you hurt my girl, you will answer directly to me. And whatever crimes I commit against you, remember, I have diplomatic immunity in forty-six countries, including Puerto Rico.
-Sir, you will find that the word "fear" is not in my vocabulary.
-Perhaps, but it's in your eyes.

-Rapunzel, Rapunzel, with hair so fine. Come out your window, climb down the vine.
-The feat you ask, dear sir, isn't easy. And I won't respond to that line, it's far too cheesy

**meatfinger** · 10-13-2004, 02:52 PM

I like the "F*ck You" scene in The 25th Hour

kristex254 · 10-13-2004, 03:53 PM

"Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, swim,swim,swim" --Finding Nemo..my favorite scene

Insane Drummer · 10-13-2004, 04:17 PM

"The Miracle Max scene in The Princess Bride."

That scene is awesome, that whole movie pwns.

"The opera scene in The Shawshank Redemption"

Another good one.

And for the record the best Monty Python Holy Grail scene is the one with Dennis being repressed.

" Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."
