Favorite movie lines.

I think my favourite part in NETWORK is when Holden just bursts: "tell him to go fuck himself!" There's just something awesome about hearing classic era stars drop an f-bomb or the like.

As for favourite lines - I could quote the whole scripts of either DOUBLE INDEMNITY or SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS, but I'll nominate a couple from ANATOMY OF A MURDER:

Quote :

Judge Weaver: Mr. Biegler, you finally got your rape into the case, and I think all the details should now be made clear to the jury. What exactly was the undergarment just referred to?
Paul Biegler: Panties, Your Honor.
Judge Weaver: Do you expect this subject to come up again?
Paul Biegler: Yes, Sir.
Judge Weaver: There's a certain light connotation attached to the word "panties." Can we find another name for them?
Mitch Lodwick: I never heard my wife call 'em anything else.
Judge Weaver: Mr. Biegler?
Paul Biegler: I'm a bachelor, Your Honor.
Judge Weaver: That's a great help. Mr. Dancer?
Claude Dancer: When I was overseas during the war, Your Honor, I learned a French word. I'm afraid that might be slightly suggestive.
Judge Weaver: Most French words are.

And to aid you - imagine that Paul Biegler is Jimmy Stewart, Claude Dancer is George C. Scott, and Judge Weaver is one Joseph N. Welch, the real life judge who took on Senator McCarthy in the army hearings. That's how awesome that exchange is. 8)

or this un..

Ben Gazzara: Hey, I'm sorry about how I acted earlier.
Jimmy Stewart: No you're not.

or the simple joys of Jimmy asking "you want a beer for the dog?", or his critique of Lee Remick and her lack of girdle.

If you mean where Max tells Frank to go fuck himself when watching Howard on air, then that would be one of my favourite moments too. Still, I can't get over Beatty's, 'You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr Beale.' I need to rewatch this film real soon.

And most of my favourite film lines are in this one scene:

"you are a shithead, williamson."

Love how Jack Lemmon just cuts in at the very end. I need to give the film a rewatch.

I love that Arnie vid.

"We need guns. Big fucking guns."

Kind of says it all, really :D

"... and furthermore, you can all go fuck ya'selves."

Leia - 'I love you'.

Han Solo - 'I know'.

"hope tastes good - like a cigarette should!'

"The virus of capitalism is highly infectious - soon you'll be lending money out with interest!"

Two absolute pieces of gold from Dr Yen Lo, but my favourite line of THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE comes from Raymond's ill-fated boss:

"They? Who's this mysterious "they"?"
