Samuel L. Jackson in Deep Blue Sea

"We're not gonna fight anymore.  We're gonna pull together and get out of here.  First, we're gonna seal off this hole..."

...gets eaten by shark.

Anyone remember the T.V. series Northern Exposure?

"Sometimes when you look back on a situation, you realize it wasn't all you thought it was. A beautiful girl walked into your life. You fell in love. Or did you? Maybe it was only a childish infatuation, or maybe just a brief moment of vanity."

"I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse."

"The richest man is the guy who has nothing."

"It's the same with white people. They cleared the forest, they dug up the land, and they gave us the flu. But they also brought power tools and penicillin and Ben and Jerry's ice cream."

Northern Exposure 4+++

"The Thin Red Line". I won't write quotes, because then I would have to paste whole script. Beautiful movie about life.

ADDED - but, to be ontop, I'll add at least one:

"One man looks at a dying bird and thinks there's nothing but unanswered pain. That death's got the final word, it's laughing at him. Another man sees that same bird, feels the glory, feels something smiling through it."

[Asteriktos]

Princess Bride
"Anyone want a peanut?"

Have you no gift for rhyme?

Hmm, well, some of the time

Thanks for this. Great movie, and a great quote.

*mutters* context, he wants context...

Redneck Zombies
Ferd Mertz: "Do not... open till... Christmas!"

An illiterate redneck finds a barrel of highly toxic experimental chemical warfare nuclear waste. Since he can't read he thinks the warning on the barrel says "do not... open till... Christmas".

Revenge of the Nerds
Alpha Betas: "Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!"
Louis: "Where are they?"
Gilbert: "I think they're talking about us, Louis"
Louis: "No way!"

Meganerds Louis and Gilbert have just arrived at college their freshmen year and they're moving their stuff to the dorm. The jocks and popular kids are yelling "Nerds!" at them. Loius is confused because he doesn't know he's a nerd. (at the end of the movie he says he just found out he was a nerd... sort of a coming out of the closet moment)

Rocky IV
"I must break you."
"If he dies... he dies."

It's a Russian boxer, ergo he's evil. Ivan Drago or something. Steroid user as well. Oh, and he's evil.

The Sandlot
Ham Porter: "Hey, you want a s'more?"
Smalls: "Some more of what?"
Ham Porter: "No, do you want a s'more?"
Smalls: "I haven't had anything yet... so how can I have some more of nothing?"
Ham Porter: "You're killing me, Smalls!"

S'more context?

Saw VI
"Look at me! When you're killing me you look at me!"

A guy has 6 of his employees before him, put in a trap, and he is forced to decide which four of them will die. At the end there are two left and he decides to save the girl. Just before the gun kills the guy he says the line above.

Shawshank Redemption
"I've decided not to stay"

The old man Brooks says this as an explanation when he commits suicide.

Context: The good ole count giving sage advice to the virtuous prince Humperdink.


Army of Darkness

Context: Good Ash is about to blow bad Ash away. Raimi inexplicably cut this line (the best one in the entire movie) out of his cut.


Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death
"Oh my God, you're marinating me!" - Jim

Context: Jim, played by Bill Maher, realises that he is not being bathed by sexy ladies, but rather being marinated by some cannibals and is about to be cooked.


Night of the Living Dead 3D
"When the dead walk you gotta call the cops!" - Henry

Context: Henry finally realises that there are zombies attacking his farmhouse, and that maybe calling the cops would be a good thing (he previously didn't want to call them because he grows a lot of pot and he and the local police have "an understanding")

The Thin Red Line - "Where is it that we were together? Who were you that I lived with? The brother. The friend. Darkness, light. Strife and love. Are they the workings of one mind? The features of the same face? Oh, my soul. Let me be in you now. Look out through my eyes. Look out at the things you made. All things shining."

Dodgeball #1
White Goodman: Go ahead, make your jokes, Mr. Jokey... Joke-maker. But let me hit you with some knowledge. Quit now. Save yourself the embarrassment of losing with these losers in Las Vegas, La Fleur.

Peter La Fleur: Alliteration aside, I'll take my chances in the tournament.

White Goodman: Yeah, you will take your chances.

Peter La Fleur: I know. I just said that.

White Goodman: I know you just said that.

Peter La Fleur: Okay, I'm not sure where you're going with this.

White Goodman: Well, I'm not sure where *you're* going with this.

Peter La Fleur: That's what I said.

White Goodman: That's what I'm saying to *you*.

Peter La Fleur: All right.

White Goodman: ...Touché.

Dodgeball #2
Cotton McKnight: I'm being told that Average Joe's does not have enough players and will be forfeiting the championship match.

Pepper Brooks: It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

Dodgeball #3
Cotton McKnight: Looks like it's gonna be a two-on-one, a menage a trois of pain.

Pepper Brooks: Usually you pay double for that kind of action, Cotton.

Dodgeball #4
White Goodman: There's no reason we need to be shackled by the strictures of the employee-employer relationship. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, I got some shackles in the back. I'm just kidding. But seriously, I've got 'em.

Dodgeball #5
White Goodman: At Globo Gym we understand that "ugliness" and "fatness" are genetic disorders, much like baldness or necrophilia, and it's only your fault if you don't hate yourself enough to do something about it.

Dodgeball #6
Cotton McKnight: We haven't seen Average Joe's yet. They haven't made it to the court. It could be a psychological ploy, or something worse.

Pepper Brooks: They're definitely not on the court, Cotton. Their absence is noticeable.

Dodgeball #7
White Goodman: Nobody makes me bleed his own blood. Nobody!

Michael Stein: What's that smell?
Sponge Harris: Oh! That was a dead raccoon. They just dragged him out this morning.

Bill: I remember one time my father came home from a night on the town which of course had turned into a week, and my mother said: "John, is there anything you won't drink?" and my father shot back, "Poison... I'm saving it for you." (Laughing) And I and my brother, who is now an alcoholic himself, just about died laughing...

Bill: Another time I was cut from the high school football team and my mother said: "Central's lost a fullback but the McNeal's have gained a daughter." And in front of the other players too... priceless! Good times, good times...

Lisa: And this is a happy memory for you?

Bill: Of course! Why shouldn't it be? ...
