I love the line from the tv series Sherlock when he says ‘ Anderson, don't talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street‘

It always makes me laugh 😂

Doc "The way I see it, if you are going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"

From One Foot in The Grave: ''I'm sorry, what language are you talking in now? It appears to be bollocks''. I'm so stealing that! I even have an ongoing bureaucratic situation I have in mind I may switch "bollocks" for "nonsense" though

Mine are:

God damn it, you bitch. You never backed away from anything in your life. Now fight. FIGHT FIIIIGHT

From the abyss

Context is key the character is trying to motivate his ex wife that he's still in love with but who drives him (and everyone else!) nuts to stay/come back to life. I think it's the most romantic quote ever! Beats all the "I love you's" hands down

Also the abyss and actually the latter part bloody good advice for life:

Coffey looks and he sees Russians. He sees hate and fear. You have to look with better eyes than that.!

Particularly pertinent with regard to racism and bigotry:

@GimmeAy is that from stepmom? I find that movie such a hard watch as I'm in a potentially similar situation to that of Susan Sarandon a character.

The line that kills me is

my fear is she'll be thinking I wish my mom was here

and my fear is...she won't

Tons from Friends but the one I find especially moving is.

And when that day finally comes, I'll learn how to be a good dad, but my wife, she's already there. She's a mother without a baby

I had dd by this point but I'd lost 3 before her and I remember that feeling of being scared I'd never be a mother so well, compounded by the knowledge that Courteney cox had similar struggles and was filming those scenes pregnant and desperately hoping she wouldn't mc again herself.

My cousin vinny - fabulous movie

Billl* : You have to see the Gambinis in action. I mean, these people, they love to argue. I mean, they live to argue.
Stann* : My parents argue too, it doesn't make them good lawyers.
Billl* : Stan, I've seen your parents argue. Trust me, they're amateurs.

Fairly certain my family ARE the gambinis!

You work on commission right? Big mistake. Big. Huge.

Failure is not an option - Apollo 13

Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up smoking/drinking/sniffing glue - Airplane. Comes in very handy in crappy situations.

Superman isn’t brave. He’s smart. Handsome. Even decent. But he’s not brave.
Superman is indestructible, and you can’t be brave if you’re indestructible.
It’s people like you and your mother. People who are different and can be crushed, and you know it. Yet they keep on going out there every time.

From The Color Purple

When Celie, with the help of Shug Avery, finally gets to read all the letters her sister Nettie has sent her over the years.

"At my first sight of Africa coast, something struck in my soul Celie, like a large bell"

(I hope I've got that right) I have not RTFT so this might already have been mentioned.
