There's got to be some good quotes from Bladerunner, too. (I'm terrible at this. I can recall where good quotes are, but I can never remember the exact wording.)
This is a thread about great lines from films. Not a thread about abortion, evolution, George Bush or the unequal treatment of men and women. Not a lot of scope for Scottbashing, one would think, and believe you me I thrive on Scottbashing; hey, what's not to bash.
In context.
Someone stands up and say something demonstrably stupid, someone's well within their rights to demonstrate it.
But is it truly impossible not have a thread that degenerates into "Oh so you're a fukcing mind reader now?" One would have thought that this thread could have been it. We could be arguing over films, if we have to argue, but no, instead we've got "Eat shit and die asshole."
You haven't contributed a single line from a single film. I read fuzzy, stupid, adolescent nonsense on this board all the time. I'm responsible for some it. I don't feel compelled to point it out every time I read it because that's not the point; people post here for a laugh and they come back to see what people thought of their posts. It's not school, it's a bit of fun. If someone's favourite film is Aliens, so what? Really, who cares?
So, you haven't contributed a single line from a single film. Let's go through your posts. I'd like to make you understand how you got the response you have.
Your first was to point out that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was a book first and to say that all these people's favourite lines of movie dialogue were for the most part "lame."
I can't help noticing that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was indeed made into a film, as was The Third Man, The Shawshank Redemption, Shindler's List, The Wizard of Oz and Goldfinger, that Aquafire didn't specify any particular rules, and that instead of shaking your head and posting some dialogue you actually like, you chose to make another poster feel like a twat and ramp up the tension for no good reason.
Your second was to point out that the only "great" film quoted was Citizen Kane, and this from a list of films with Casablanca, Apocalypse Now, La Grande Illusion, The Third Man, Once Upon a Time in the West, Cool Hand Luke and Taxi Driver.
Your third was to say that "Aliens" wasn't a Great Movie and that "Game over!" was a lame quote. With two of these:
I agree. Aliens isn't a Great Movie. But it is a great movie, as in "that movie was great. Dude, if you're going to disagree with someone, disagree with manners. And if you're not going to, then don't complain when people get pissed off with you.
I take it you like films. I like films. If I could remember any great dialogue from Tarkovsky's 'Andre Rubeilev" or "La Grande Bouffe" or "Atalante" or "The Green Ray" I would. But I can't. Please post yours. I can remember great lines from Sergio Leone's westerns like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, because those films have lots of great lines in them. And if I disagreed with your taste in films I'd have shaken my head, thought "Scott's a twat" and scrolled down a bit.
You've derailed the thread totally unncessesarily. This thread didn't need this essay. Every time you post it's like a calculated attempt to make things tense.
All the ugliness in this thread is your fault. Some posters could better have just ignored you, alright, but really, sometimes they shouldn't have to.
You might want to check your email. Pdoc has something to say to you..
the movie is "about a boy" with music (great music at that) by "badly
drawn boy" (edit: ah you fixed it before i posted)
it was my favorite movie from last year. great story, great screenplay by iowa boy nick hedges who did "what's eating gilbert grape"
my favorite line:
"I'd be the worst possible Godfather. I'd probably drop her on her head at her christening. I'd forget all her birthdays until she was 18. Then I'd take her out and get her drunk. And, let's face it, quite possibly try and shag her."
and later he made a comment about fiona being a hippie but it's in the dead zone....i can't remember it.

[interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' 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!

Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

You'd be William Munny out of Missouri. Killer of women and children.
MUNNY
That's right. I've killed just about anything that walked or crawled at one time or another,
and I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned.
And of course.....
MUNNY
It's a hell of a thing , killing a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna
have.
KID
Yeah. Well, I guess they had it coming.
MUNNY
We all have it coming, kid.
