LaxTV Forums | A Forum About The MCLA

Okay, time for some nostalgic fun. What are some of your favorite movie lines of all time? Don't forget to give us the line AND the movie it is from.

Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

Woman: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?

Narrator: You wouldn't believe.

Woman: Which car company do you work for?

Narrator: A major one.

--Fight Club

Greatest movie of all time... Caddyshack
Ty Webb: 'A flute without holes, is not a flute. A donut without holes, is a danish.'

From Back to School...
Trendy Man: Mr. Melon, your wife was just showing us her Klimt.
Thornton Melon: You too, huh? She's shown it to everybody.
Trendy Man: Well, she's very proud of it.
Thornton Melon: I'm proud of mine too. I don't go waving it around at parties, though.
Trendy Man: It's an exceptional painting.
Thornton Melon: Oh, the painting.

Last line from Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow:

Joe Sullivan: "Lenscap"

Yeah, I know it's silly, but it cracks me up everytime.

There are a lot of good lines from supertroopers, but a lesser known one that I love (and find myself doing whenever I sit at a computer) is:

"Enhance....enhance....enhance."

And then people stare at me.

"hurry up batter, i gotta get home for lunch" -The Sandlot

"How's your wife with my kids."- Major League

Or of course there is the greatest cameo of all time: Jon Lovitz in A League of Their Own.

A sampling:
"Hey cowgirls, see the grass? Don't eat it!"

"You know who General Omar Bradley is?"..."Too striking a resemblance."

"See how it works is, the train moves, not the station."

"If I had your job, I'd kill myself"

"That would be more than wouldn't it.

Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.
Veronica Corningstone: No, there's no way that's correct.
Ron Burgundy: I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
Veronica Corningstone: Doesn't it mean Saint Diego?
Ron Burgundy: No. No.
Veronica Corningstone: No, that's - that's what it means. Really.
Ron Burgundy: Agree to disagree.


Sweet Lincoln's mullet!

One of my all time favorite quotes.....pretty obvious....and recently....very important.

Major League II
"I never had a steady girlfriend like you, but I did get kicked in the balls once by a mule"

For any of you Dr. Strangelove fans out there:

President: "Gen. Turgetson, I was under the impression I was the only one with the authority to launch a nuclear strike on Russia."

Gen. Turgetson: "You are correct sir. You are the only one authorized to do so, and although I HATE to judge before all the facts are in, its beginning to look like he superceded that authority"

One more George C. Scott movie....Patton

"When you have your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did during the great World War II, you wont have to say, Well....I shoveled sh*t in Louisiana"

From Blazing Saddles:

"He said, The Sheriff is near!" LMAO

I dont know why, but that one always cracks me up for some reason!

Ha ha ha ha

Love Dr. Strangelove

President:
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room."

General Jack D. Ripper:
"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."

From Swingers:

Trent: I wish they still had fights in this game so I could *****-slap Wayne.

Mike: What? They don't have fighting anymore?

Trent: Doesn't that suck?

Mike: Why'd they get rid of the fighting? It was the best part of the old version.

Sue: I think kids were hittin' each other or somethin', man.

Trent: Yeah but you know what, Mike? You can make their heads bleed in this one.

Mike: Make somebody's head bleed.

Sue: No man, we're in the playoffs.

Trent: I'm going to make Wayne Gretzky's head bleed for super fan No. 99 over here.

That's my favorite quote because NHL 94 on Sega Genesis is still probably the greatest sports video game ever made (other than the Tecmo Bowl Series, of course). NHLPA 93 was also great. The line about being in the playoffs is so true.

"Look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb, uh... guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh, guy who does the same thing in my living room. First one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with."

That was cool in the movie. You could tell the writers really knew the game when (I think) Vince Vaughn was dominating and says "It's not so much me as it is Roenick". For some reason, Jeremy Roenick in NHL 94 was by far the best player in the game; probably the best video game athlete since Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl.
