The Senator Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) I gotta go with The Godfather - but don't take my word for it... Joe Fox (Tom Hanks): The Godfather is the I Ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question. What should I pack for my summer vacation? 'Leave the gun, take the cannoli.' What day of the week is it? 'Maunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday.' And the answer to your question is 'Go to the mattresses.' You're at war. 'It's not personal, it's business. It's not personal it's business.' Recite that to yourself every time you feel you're losing your nerve. (From You've Got Mail) . Edited May 14, 2011 by The Senator
Pilsner Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Airplane. [/thread] Awesome thread. Many close ones here. I'll go with Airplane as well for a contemporary film. So many great quotable movies tho. Or perhaps the naked gun movies.
MattyT Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Caddyshack Wow....took 10 posts to get to the obvious choice.
Mark Vader Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Jaws Star Wars Transformers the Movie(animated) Planet of the Apes Back to the Future Edited May 14, 2011 by Mark Vader
DrDawkinstein Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Lots of great mentions in this thread already. I'll throw in: Cable Guy Billy Madison Spaceballs Almost every single line, in all three of those movies, is quotable. And not in an annoying Borat/Austin Powers catch phrase way.
CowgirlsFan Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Jaws Star Wars Transformers the Movie(animated) Planet of the Apes Back to the Future My choice...the "old original" classic....Gone With The Wind..."Frankly my dear..I don't give a damn"
BillsPride12 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Can't believe dumb and dumber hasn't been mentioned yet
Mark Vader Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Can't believe dumb and dumber hasn't been mentioned yet You just mentioned it. Here's a couple more good ones: Ghostbusters The Blues Brothers
bbb Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Wizard of Oz Casablanca Great call on Casablanca. The one thing that bugged me is that Bogie never said Play it again, Sam. I have no idea how that came about, as a quote. But, it doesn't mean a hill of beans.
Pilsner Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 If there's ever a remake (which if there was it would be pure blasphemy) then might as well have Bogie say that famous yet imagined line, play it again Sam.
Pete Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Mel Brooks silent movie there is only one spoken line in the whole movie. here it is
Chandler#81 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 The Outlaw Josey Wales. Many people I've encountered from all over the US, quote lines from it. Not so much as 1-liners, just classic lines from a classic movie.
