Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

 

This is my favorite. Pretty much a speach to the Democratic party!

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

 

Batty, Blade Runner:

It's time to die.

 

Mr. Rooney, Ferris Bueller's Day off:

What's so dangerous about a character like Ferris Bueller is that he gives

the good kids bad ideas. The last thing I need at this point in my career is

fifteen hundred Ferris Bueller disciples running around these halls.

 

Buckaroo Banzai, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension:

'Cause, remember, no matter where you go..... there you are.

 

Straw, I actually had that same quote.

Mr. Mom - when Jack's wife and Ron walk in while Jack is doing a little remodeling of the kitchen. Jack tells Ron his plans and finishes with the fact that he's re-wiring everything. That leads to one of the greatest comedy quotes of all time in my opinion.

 

Ron Richardson: Yeah? Are you gonna make it all 220?

 

Jack Butler: Yeah. 220... 221, whatever it takes.

"What's the score mister barber ?"

 

"6-3.........ya like baseball there, Anderson ?"

 

"Yea I do. It's the only game where a black man can wave a stick at a white man and get away with it."

 

Mississippi Burning featured this exchange between the town barber and FBI agent Anderson (Gene Hackman).

 

Great acting in this movie and it should have won Best Picture but lost out to Rain Man.

"I'm the bull, and you're getting the horns" "The Breakfast Club" Principal Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason) to John Bender (Judd Nelson).

 

The line is actually: "Don't mess with the bull young man or you'll get the horns." :)

 

Sorry, big Breakfast Club fan.

 

I'll submit this: "Carpe diem, boys! Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary."

I agree. I have a stack of "teacher" movies that I watch ~ one a day starting on August 1 until school begins. Helps to get me motivated for the REAL world of teaching. HA! Seriously, it reminds me of why I do what I do. It's all about the kids.
