Browsing the channels this eve and noted that Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark is on and made me think of one of my favourite quotes. It’s actually from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and it’s when he looks at Willie through the hole in the enclosing cave with such a look of fear / urgency / what-the-hell-are-you-doing-woman and says “we…are going…to die!”

tickles me every time!

Infamy! Infamy! They’ve all got it infamy!

Yes! Or Barbara Windsor in Carry on Henry “it is a great honour…the King has done me.

‘I run my unit how I run my unit. You want to investigate me, roll the dice and take your chances. I eat breakfast 300 yards away from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill me, so don’t for one second think think that you can come down here, flash your badge, and make me nervous.’

All this time, we could've been friends?

Bette Davis in Whatever happened to Baby Jane?

"He is a failure at everything except life."

From Cousins, one of my favourite films.

TheDefiant · 08/09/2024 22:09

It's a Shakespeare quotation but from Star Trek the Undiscovered Country

"Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!"

Best seen performed in the Klingon original of course. 🖖

"No. Fucking. Merlot!"

"You're terrible Muriel"

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but your a total bitch" - family guy so not technically a film.

"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood!"

"I wanna say Pan?"

"I want the chapper chicken"

'It thinks only of its stomach! It's like a bloody rugby ball as it is!' Monty in Withnail and I about his cat. I say it frequently about our greedy dogs.

In fact there is probably a withnail line for so many areas of life.

"We've gone on holiday by mistake"

"All right, this is the plan. We get in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop a couple of Surmontil-50s each. That means we'll miss out on Monday but come up smiling Tuesday morning."

"My thumbs have gone weird! I'm in the middle of a bloody overdose! My heart's beating like a fucked clock! I feel dreadful, I feel really dreadful."

"You can stuff it up your arse for nothing and fuck off while you're doing it!"

One of my biggest disappointments as a parent was watching Withnail & I with my DS and realising he just didn't get it.

Sorry, it's lowbrow, but

Yippy-ki-yay, motherfucker

And
Daddy! It's my daddy!!!
(Tearing up as I tap that one out)

And
"Clarence... help me, Clarence. I want to live again"

That
”Daddy, its my Daddy” from The Railway Children always makes my burst into tears.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.

‘Why’d you wanna marry me anyhow?’
’So I can kiss you anytime I want’

&&

‘He knew that it would take more than an apology to get you back. He’d have to conquer the world first and he’s been trying ever since’

My favourite film!

My all time fave quote. Amazing movie.

Casablanca. Rick and Ilsa remembering the German army entering Paris:

Rick: “I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.”

It's got to be planes, trains and automobiles for me (Steve Martin and John Candy are brilliant in it).
Del: "6 bucks and my left nut says we’re not landing in Chicago"
Man giving free ride:
To his wife “Get yer lazy behind out here and put that trunk up in the back! She don’t mind. She’s short and skinny – but she’s strong. Her first baby: it come out sideways."
Neil: ”Are you trying to start a fight?” Del: “No I’m simply stating a fact that’s all. You fidget with your nuts a lot!” Neil: “You know what would make me happy?” Del: “Another couple balls and an extra set of fingers?”

Lots of testicle quotes for some bizarre reason but makes me laugh so much.
Loving this thread.

Those aren’t pillows!
