and I'm all out of bubble gum." So sayeth Roddy Piper in John Carpenter's cult classic, sci-fi thriller that includes Orwellian overtones, an alien invasion, special sunglasses and one incredibly long fight seen.
Highly recommended :-)

Somewhere in my soul, there's always Rock -n- Roll... Joe Strummer

Eek, what's up with the AFI list?  The top ten or so are pretty good, but some of the rest are real clunkers.  For instance - "My precious" is the best line in the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy?  WTF?  "May the force be with you" is the best line from Star Wars?  Again, WTF?  There are also some unconscionable omissions from the list.  Some personal favorites:

"It's a shame that the Chinaman pissed on your rug, Dude... It really tied the room together."
     -- The Big Lebowski

"Hi, Peter. What's happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports."
     -- Office Space

"Who wants a mustache ride?"
     -- Supertroopers

Instant classics, all of them.

Ce n'est pas une pipe. C'est une signature.

"Thirty-seven?!"
and
"I celebrate the guy's entire catalogue."

Marla Singer: "You take tuberculosis. My smoking doesn't go over at all."
     --Fight Club

But you ain't bona fide!

Why do I have to be Mr. Pink?

Cause you're a faggot, all right?

    One that I have to restrain from coming out too often is from Young Frankenstein:  "Could be worse . . . could be raining." Must say, I've always ended up really liking everyone that finishes that line without missing a beat.
    My favorite line(s) from The Godfather will probably never make a list like this, because they gain from repetition-- the various uses of the word "business", to be exact. "See, it's not personal. It's strictly business", after Michael decides it's high time to whack a rival and a cop; "tell Mike it was strictly business; I always liked him", when Abe Vigoda's Sal Tessio is being hauled off to a shallow grave after betraying the Family; and, of course, the early line, "after all gentlemen, we are not Communists." If you're partisan enough to lack a sense of humor, this could be taken as an attack on capitalism; for myself, it's an excellent refrain to the yearning for legitimacy that most (all?) the mobsters display at one time or another.
    As far as the Monty Python crew goes, some of the better lines from Holy Grail are the more subdued ones, IMHO. Sure, there's the Black Knight segment, and the "I'm being oppressed!" bit, but after ten viewings the asides grew on me. "It's just a model", spoken by Patsy to Arthur; "On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It's a silly place", as Arthur reconsiders his earlier glee; "It was a fair trial", by the witch heading off to burn. " . .and there was much rejoicing", useful in too many situations; and last but not least, "and go change your armor!" to Robin, as Arthur says what the others were thinking (because he's the king, after all.)
    Let's give a shout out to the MST3K crew as well, who rescued a few lines from (well, probably deserved) obscurity- "watch out for snakes!" being at the top of the list- while adding few of their own. ("How do you like your scotch, Mitchell?" "By the quart.")

Ex ignorantia ad sapientiam; e luce ad tenebras

I didn't register it either.   But I would have to gone with

"Son- you got a panty on yo head"

From Raising Arizona.

But one that I used recently and thought I was supercool:

"My what a marvelous smell you've discovered!" from Star wars.

I think it had to do with catshit.

So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama -- long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga...gunga -- gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

...and just about every third line in the entire damn movie.

"You boys like Mexico? Whooo!"

"And that was the second time I got crabs." (In fact, I got an email entitled that today from a co-worker. His girlfriend must be so proud).

"It's really funny, Cap. It's Afganistanimation." (which is funny because it was before 9/11 and they referenced the Taliban warlords, yet I got the joke at the time so I feel intellectually superior)

"I don't want a large Farva. I want a goddamn liter of cola!"

"I swear to God I'll pistol-whip the next guy that says shenanigans."

Spread it on!

Too many porn stars to think about.  This is a definite sign I'm going to hell.

"Hey now...be nice.  Remember, no matter where you go, there you are".

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

''Rick Von Slonecker is tall, rich, good looking, stupid, dishonest, conceited, a bully, liar, drunk and thief, an egomaniac, and probably psychotic. In short, highly attractive to women.''

The three Whit Stillman comedies -- Metropolitan, Barcelona, and The Last Days of Disco -- are the Caddyshack for the intellectual and precious.

... I'm the guy with the gun. --Ash to evil Ash, Army of Darkness

And of course:

I say we take of and nuke the entire site from orbit ... It's the only way to be sure.  --Lt. Ripley, Aliens

Might even be on the list, but I'm not going to register.

Cheers,
Michael

Whatchoo talkin' bout Willis?

One day remaining, if you've got $200k to burn...

Are you telling me the man who try to put a rubber fist in my anus was a homosexual?
