What are some of your favorite or most memorable movie lines?

"Brace yourself, Effie!" from Mrs. Doubtfire

"You make me want to be a better man." from As Good as It Gets

"I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly." from You've Got Mail

"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son." Animal House

"The mind - it's a wonderful, dirty thing." Up Close and Personal

"Do I know you?" Father of the Bride 2

"Imyahuckleberry" Doc Holiday in "Tombstone".
I'll add more later.

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!

now go do that voodoo that you do so well

"The dead know only one thing. It is better to be alive." Private Joker, Full Metal Jacket

"I was born to love you / I was born to lick your face / I was born to rub you / but you were born to rub me first /... What do you say we take this out on the patio?" Ty Webb, Caddyshack

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

Batty, Blade Runner:

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.

I could type my submission out, but the only way to truly enjoy it is to watch it:

...mo' to come.

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.

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

Maverick: Tower, this is Ghost rider requesting a flyby.

" Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didnt let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasnt one more thing you could've done. Can you live in that moment as best you can, with clear eyes, and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman - you're perfect!" - Friday Night Lights

These two are really great! Funniest book I ever read was Forrest Gump. If you haven't already done so, read it - I challenge you not to laugh!
