What Movie Line Do You Use All The Time In Regular Conversation....

[The Great Escape]

this one is appropriate so many times for me. Maybe I'm listening to too much gossip.


"My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."

[HEyHEY]

1. "Hey this ain't the legion"

When someone makes a really strong drink. It's from "New Waterford Girl"

[Thurston Howell IV]

23. "I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed..."

[sakabatou]

35. "I know Kung-fu"

I'm not kidding... I really do know chuugoku kenpo/shaolin chu'an-fa.

[koneko]

37. It all depends

Since the election, I've been doing a lot of the Heather Langenkamp line from A Nightmare on Elm Street - "This is only a dream, this isn't real! This is only a dream, this isn't real!"

Then there's always the Say Anything classic - "I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen."

Oh-oh-oh, there's always "The price is WRONG, bitch!" from Happy Gilmore.

And "You're ignorant" from Night of the Living Dead.

But, overall, I tend to do with "All work & no play makes Jack a dull boy" from the Shining.

[miss_kitty]

38. "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"

Captain Renault, just before a croupier hands him his winnings, followed immediately by his closing of Rick's in 'Casablanca'.
The line fits in well when discussing the cheney bush junta and the 'reactions' they have to certain occurrences going on under their watch.

[buddysmellgood]

39. Now whay...whait just a gall darn minute thar mister Potter.

Maybe my father wasn't a BUSiness man. But
neither you nor anybody else can say anything against his CHARicter. Why he didn't save enough money to send HARRY to school let alone me.
What was that you said a minute agoooo...That people should have to wAIt and saaave until they can afford a home. WHAIT! WHAIT FOR WHAT! until their children have grown and left them...until they're so old an beeeaten that....JUST REMEBER THIS MISTER POTTER. This raaaabble as you call em...They do most of the working and paaaying and living and dying in this community. Wha, wha, well is it too much to AAsk to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a baaath. Well my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him, but to you, a wharped frustrated old man their CATTLE. Well in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be.

45. Is it possible to be a Marine and a Democrat?

I'm sure there have been some, but you would think they are fairly incompatible.

[FubarFly]

47. "What is your major malfunction, private?"

Of course it is. Some of the most compassionate people I know are ex-marines who believe in serving a greater good. Former marines are also well represented among anti-war activists.

[bobweaver]

with the follow-up: "now we see the violence inherent in the system!"

That entire scene is a goldmine.

63. Well in England they always say Brilliant

I thought I was really brilliant around my English friends until they started to say things like. "Oh you have cafe'latte, brilliant"


But for me and a lot of people where I live it's Jimmy Jubes who says things that we keep saying (there are Jimmy Jubes clips in the comedy section of my site http://www.vinnievin.com)
Mostly it's like adding "and everything" or "Okaaaaaay" to the end of sentences.

Vinnie Vin and everything okaaaaaaaaaaay

68. Some lines, I suppose from Blazing Saddles

or Young Frankenstein, but I'm afraid the one line I use most often in ordinary conversation has to be, I'm afraid......"I'll be back."

[CBHagman]

69. Since no one's mentioned Harvey Lembeck or Peter Lorre...

... there's Lembeck's "You stupids!" (good all-purpose line to apply to anyone in the current administration) from the "Beach Party" movies and "We're all doomed anyway" from a morose Peter Lorre (I forget exactly which movie).

And a week doesn't go by in DC without someone uttering the "I'm shocked, shocked!" line from Casablanca. What a quotable movie.

I've thought of simply taping my favorite quotes from different movies and playing them back whenever I need a good comeback.
