This is far to general for me to even get started on. Need to narrow it down to a genre of movies, or favorite of a certain type of quote, favorite quote by a certain type of character/archetype. Something like that.

Jimmy Stewart in Shenandoah: "Well I might as well tell you right now that I can’t think of another thing I want to hear you say."

[preparing to shoot a group photo] Frank Hurley: And look right into the camera. That's where the rest of the world is! Straight into the lens, right here. Think of your wives, your sweethearts, your children, your grandchildren, your great-grandchildren! That's where they are, behind there.
Sir Ernest Shackleton: After today, nothing will be hard, ever again.

"Wars have been started for less, when I want your opinions I'll give them to you!"
-Mok, "Rock & Rule"
"The ships! Get to the ships! It's our only chance!"
-Kranix, "Transformers the Movie"
"Death is just another path, one we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silver-glass. And then you see it! White shores...and beyond...a far green country under a shift sunrise."

Hm, for humor I'd have to go with the marketing slogans in Crazy People. Too many have profanity, so I'm not going to post any... but they're classical.

quote:Originally posted by Elizabeth: "Serpentine, Mel, serpntine!"
Excellent Choice, Elizabeth, but it's "Shel", as in "Dr. Sheldon Cornpett".
also, while I'm picking nits, from the Princess Bride, earlier, it is "Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
From "The In-Laws" referenced above-- "oooooh Kay".
From "Better Off Dead", which someone quoted earlier-- "Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way... turn!"
From the Princess Bride, mentioned above, "Ever heard of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates?... morons!"
From "The Odd Couple", which no one has mentioned, " You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. 'We're all out of cornflakes. F.U.' Took me three hours to figure out 'F.U.' was 'Felix Ungar'!"

quote:Jack: How you can sit there, calmly eating muffins when we are in this horrible trouble, I can’t make out. You seem to me to be perfectly heartless.
Algernon: Well, I can’t eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs.

quote:Lord Arthur Goring: To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance
quote:Lord Arthur Goring: A good buttonholer is the only link between art and reality
"It seems poker's just not your game, Ike. I know: let's have a spelling contest!"
"Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave."
Along with about an dozen lines from Lonesome Dove.
"My wife is in Hell, where I sent her. She could make good biscuits, but her behavior was intolerable"

Ooh, just thought of some more from my favorite movie ever:
"That's not the issue Delmar. Even if that did put you square with the Lord, the State of Mississippi's a little more hard-nosed."
"D*mn! We're in a tight spot!"
"Well, ain't it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I'm the only one that remains unaffiliated."
"Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?"
"A woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man."

I couldn't think of anything from Shawshank- but here's one...
"Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Food Way, so they could send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it.. sorta like a bonus."

quote:[trying to convice a buyer to switch to his brake pads] Tommy: Umm, let's say your driving along the road with your family and your driving along, lay le lay, woo whoo, Then all of a sudden there a truck tire in the middle of the road. And you hit the brakes EERRRRRGGGHH! Whoa. That was close.
Hah ha! Now, lets see what happens when your driving with the "other guys brake pads". Your driving along, your driving along and all of sudden the kids are yelling from the back seat, "I gotta go the bathroom daddy." Not now damnit! Truck tire. Errrragggghhh! I can't stop! [smashes a model car on desk] There's a cliff. Ahhhhh! And your familys screaming, "Ohh my god we're burning alive! No, I can't feel my legs!" Here comes the meat wagon. WE-OH! WE-OH! WE-OH! And the medic get's out and says, "Ohh my god." New guy is in the corner puking his guts out. All because you wanna save a couple extra pennies.
Eli: Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is... maybe he didn't.
Eli: I'm not in love with you any more. Margot: I didn't ever know that you were. Eli: Let's not make this any more difficult than it already is.
Royal: That's the last time you put a knife in me! Y'hear me?
Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
Royal: I thought I'd start by taking you out to visit your grandmother. Richie: God, I haven't been out there in years. Margot: I've never been at all. I was never invited. Royal: Well she wasn't your real grandmother, and I didn't know how much interest you had. But you're invited now!

Someone mentioned Unforgiven, but not my favorite line from it. Gene Hackman: Mister, you just shot an unarmed man! Clint Eastwood: He shoulda armed himself.
And, when I'm having a hard day trying to write something, I like to think of Dan Goodman from Barton Fink: "Gaze upon me! I will show you the life of the mind!"
Tommy - Hey, you can't just go in and out, you gotta finesse 'em a little bit. Richard - Hmm... by finesse, do you mean sputtering out sentence fragments and lighting things on fire? Tommy - No... but, it's nice to see you again, Mr. Insult. Say, if you see Richard...
I use that one all the time.

From the Peacekeeper wars: John Crichton: Is there anything I can do to help? Aeryn Sun: Oh, I think you've done enough already. If this was a Sebacean child, a pure one, it would've been born long ago. So how long is this going to take? John Crichton: Well, on Earth it can last days. Aeryn Sun: ...I have killed men for less.
from the firefly trailer: Wash: This is going to get pretty interesting Mal: Define interesting Wash:(completely calm): Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die!?
Mal:(speaking into microphone to crew): This is the captain, we're having a little problem with our engien sequence so we may experience some slight turbulence and then, explode.
