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".

"What this old thing ?? Why I only wear it when I don't care how I look "
It's a Wonderful life
And
"God bless all in this house ....Wipe yer feet"
The Quiet Man

Use both these quotes more than necessary Grin

"we're going to need a bigger boat" think it's from Jaws, my DH said it when we found out we were having twins.

Vitalogy · 06/12/2018 03:57

(Maybe you had to be there, it's all about the timing.) I think that's the case with a good few of these lines, because in themselves aren't meaning much. Especially when the film they're from isn't even quoted either.

IdaBWells · 06/12/2018 03:58

Sally: It's not the same for men! Charlie Chaplin had babies when he was 73!

Harry: Yeah, but he was too old to pick 'em up.

KandoKat · 06/12/2018 04:40

Love that quote Ida Grin
Also....
We've gone on holiday by mistake

I don't advise a haircut man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are you're aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into your brain. This is the reason bald headed men are uptight.

"Get your lesbian feet out of my shoes" - Bend it Like Beckham

"It works" - when Duckface is putting an ivy wreath on her head in Four Weddings

As a PP said, it's the delivery rather than the actual lines.

AngeloMysterioso · 06/12/2018 07:52

I love how many people have posted quotes from Labyrinth (myself included Grin)

HippyChickMama · 06/12/2018 11:18

@Applepudding2018 the first one is from Dirty Dancing as pp said, the second one is from the first Austin Powers film.

Buddyelf · 06/12/2018 11:32

I've not read the whole thread so not sure if anyone has said these already

'don't let any one ever make you feel like you don't deserve the things you want' Heath Ledger in 10 things I hate about you. I think about it a lot.

'What are you waiting for? you want them to chop me up and feed to poor is that what you guys want' Billy Costigan (Leo DiCaprio) - The Departed.

'I'm burying you' - Will Ferrel Step Brothers

'don't let any one ever make you feel like you don't deserve the things you want' Heath Ledger in 10 things I hate about you. I think about it a lot.

Oh that's reminded me of another of my favourite lines because it's also from that film:

'Whats the deal with this chick, does she have beer flavoured nipples?'

Heath Sad

goingonabearhunt1 · 06/12/2018 12:07

I quote Wayne's World all the time:
"Marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries"
"If you're gonna spew, spew into this"
"Schwing"

Also "Stop trying to make fetch happen it's not going to happen" and "you go Glenn Coco!" (Mean Girls) Oh and me and DP have a long-running joke; when I'm all emotional over something silly I'll say "I just have a lot of feelings" and he'll say "you don't even go here!" Grin

Deadbudgie · 06/12/2018 12:13

We’re gonna need a bigger boat (jaws)

CatsRule · 06/12/2018 12:13

No, I'm not okay! Do I look okay? The fucker shot me! What the fuck-ass fuck of a bum-fuck shithole town is this? I make a business call. I give him my card. And the hick-ass fucker shoots my foot off! Cock-fucking shit!

Mystery Alaska...not seen it in ages but never fails to make me laugh 😂😂

AngeloMysterioso · 06/12/2018 12:21

Also everyone single person who has said it has got the Jaws quote wrong.

It’s YOU’RE.

YOU’RE gonna need a bigger boat.

Avegemitesandwich · 06/12/2018 13:45

I quote Wayne's World all the time:

Wayne's World is one of my actual favourite films, but there are so many lines in it that I just didn't get when I watched it as a kid eg:

'Asphinctersayswhat'
And
'I'll have the cream of sumyunguy'

😂

FuckBrussel · 06/12/2018 14:11

Reading this, I've realised just how many there are that DH and I use every day!

"We'll be here for a long time. A long, long, longlong, LONG time." - Six Days, Seven Nights.

"Motherfucking titty sucking two balled BITCH!" - Paul

"I come here for a fucking shootout. A proper shootout with some proper men. Like Colonel Custer and Geronimo, you ever heard of them? No. Cause you're too busy in your pinny baking fucking fairy cakes, weren't ya?" - Legend. (I was trying to find a raincoat in a camping shop once, and I was really miffed that none of them seemed to be cut to accomodate a bust. I quoted this, substituting "raincoat" for "shootout", and my DH looked across the store, caught the eye of a rather bemused assistant, and said, "She's just genuinely disappointed." Grin )

DwangelaForever · 06/12/2018 14:26

"What we do in life echoes in eternity" from gladiator, I also love the whole speech when he takes his mask off!

SylviaAndSydney · 06/12/2018 14:27

I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough - The Notebook

Vitalogy · 06/12/2018 16:42

Every path is the right path. Everything could've been anything else. And it would have just as much meaning - Mr Nobody
