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".

It’s like taking me to the top of a hill, showing me the world and saying “that’s what you can’t have you fat Irish article.”

Today we were with family and a tin of hair pomade made an appearance - cue us quoting 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou' at each other:

"My hair!"

"I don't want Fop, I'm a Dapper Dan man"

"Well ain't this place a geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere"

and the classic "Damn, we're in a tight spot!" Grin

“Eight is a lot of legs, David!”

I actually got to use this, in context, when helping DS (who is not called David) build a Lego spider. He looked like Hmm and DH was Grin

  1. You go take care of my little girl now. That's your job. Always thought of you as a son. Always. Sad

I think the best one is by Honey in Incredibles: ‘Greater good?' I am your wife! I'm the greatest good you are ever gonna get!

Although Grampy Rabbit’s “I’m going to draw a line in the sand every time I think about cheese” is also quite brilliant.

Good shout on the Bridget quotes too - I love them all!

Mr tits pervert!! ...Mr. Fitzherbert

Vampiratequeen · 03/12/2018 01:51

I have a few.

"Life finds a way" from Jurassic Park

"A sweetheart Sassy can't breath" from homeward bound, I used to use that line a lot when my DD would hug me too tight with her arms around my neck, changing Sassy for Mummy. Although I have loads from that film that make me laugh or cry.

"You chopped him up, you even labelled him" "I label everything" from the Legend of Barney Thompson, makes me laugh everytime.

Vampiratequeen · 03/12/2018 01:52

Just thought of another one.
"What a beautiful morning, makes me sick" from Hocus Pocus.

Furries · 03/12/2018 01:57

“You’ve got red on you”, “cornetto” and “lots” - Shaun of the dead

“I carried a watermelon” - Dirty Dancing - this seriously is in the back of my mind every time I make a daft comment!

BusterGonad · 03/12/2018 02:02

"What fucker said that" closely followed by "don't attempt anything without the gloves" both Withnail and I!

DeadDoorpost · 03/12/2018 02:04

"I'm getting the pig!" (RED)
"Its a-maize-ing" (Grown Ups)
"Yeah, pink! Like vaginas!" (Employee of the Month. I love this film. So much.) Other lines include:
"Have you been working out?" "Yeah I do a little core work" "What is that... abs, pecs... " "hey!" "What do you do, squats?" "Yeah. I squat it out."

Typing them out doesn't do it justice. Its full of one liners. It's so good.

“Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom as great. You have no power over me”

' Break his heart and I'll break your face.' Some Kind of Wonderful. IMO the very best of the 80's teen films.
