I've just watched Marley & me for about the 10th time and it still makes me cry even though I know most of the dialogue by now! It got me thinking about how certain films and lines stay close to your heart for different reasons... this films always reminds me of my childhood dog who we had for 12 years, his name was Shep and we loved him dearly... everyday there he would be waiting for us when we got off the school bus wagging his tail to greet us, even when he got old and weary we could rely on him to be there waiting in his usual place in rain, hail or snow! He really was a part of the family. Anyway my favourite lines from this film are "A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his".

'Is it raining? I hadn't noticed' 4 weddings and a funeral
'No one puts baby in a corner' Dirty Dancing
'Paint me like one of your French girls' Titanic

I am a huge lover of cringey lines

Nakedavenger74 · 03/12/2018 07:39

Best non cringey line:
'Sing Sing and step on it darling' Breakfast at Tiffany's

Several already quoted that I love and sometimes use:
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy"
Well, tickle my tits 'til Friday! From Shirley Valentine

Also from SV:
That's right, Millandra, I'm going to Greece for the sex! Sex for breakfast! Sex for dinner! Sex for tea! And sex for supper!
Van Driver: Sounds like a fantastic diet, love!
Shirley Valentine: It is, have you never heard of it? It's called the "F" plan!

Would you say we have a plethora of piñatas. From the three amigos. Still makes me laugh

"I grew up with this stuff - it's my family label!" (Raiders of the Lost Ark)
"I ain't got time to bleed!" (Predator)
"It's a trap!" (Star Wars)

You'd be surprised how often these quotes come in handy.

Also, from The Scarifyers (not a movie but a radio drama): "Take off your shoes and pay homage to the mysterious triangle on your way in!" and "TEA?" (in the voice of a camp Aleister Crowley)
