    ...or least favorite?

    Just for fun of course.

    I just posted on the top 10 movies to take on a desert island and it had me wonder.

    Anyways....as to my favorite:

    "There is no spoon." The Matrix.

    I know the one I hate too - "Here's lookin' at you kid." Casablanca
    I understand what he is saying, I just don't like the line. It just doesn't sound right.

    One of my favorites is Lester's in American beauty (rather prose than quote but..):

    I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst...And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure... but don't worry, you will someday.

    I kind of relate, heh.

    It is so funny that you would say that. You are correct, it may not be just one "line" but it is a great quote. "American Beauty" is one of my Top 10 Desert Island picks.

    Hi new guys and gals

    cool names you guys have picked for yourselves.

    One of my favs is of course Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood:
    "Go ahead, make my day".

    Another fav from Anne of Green Gables, regarding the ups and downs of life. "Remember, tomorrow is a fresh day with no mistakes in it".

    "I gotta feeling this isn't Kansas any more Toto." --- Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz

    Another great line is from a Clint Eastwood movie---Outlaw Josey Wales. There is a scene where Eastwood and his partner shoot a couple of bushwacking bounty hunters, and his partner says they ought to bury them proper. But Eastwood grimaces, and from his mount, spits a wad of tobacco juice on one of the dead guys' face and says: "To hell with them fellas...buzzards gotta eat the same as worms." / You Know

    From "Real Genius":

    Girl to guy who just came on to her: "Can you drive a railroad spike through one inch thick steel plate with your penis?

    Guy: "Not yet..."

    Girl: "Well... a girl must have her standards, mustn't she."

    Hi Think41self, thanks for the welcome.
    Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorites too. Of course, I can't think of any lines from it right now, other than the one you mentioned.

    CordeDeVelour, Gattaca was the Best. (I love Jude Law :X )

    I just thought of another great line I had to include:

    Sean Connery to Harrison Ford in: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. "We named the dog Indiana."

    I always thought that was hysterical!
