THE USUAL SUSPECTS

There's another more famous one, but I prefer this one slightly...in since, the "greatest trick" quote isn't totally from the usual suspects, it's a version of a quote in a short story called "The Generous Gambler by Charles Baudelaire (published 1864) It went roughly like this: . . . He made no complaint whatsoever about the bad reputation he had attracted throughout the world, assured me that he himself was the person most concerned by the destruction of superstition, and admitted to me that as far as his own power was concerned he had been afraid on only one occasion, which was when he had heard a preacher, more subtle than his colleagues, shout out from the pulpit: 'Dearly beloved, never forget, when you hear anyone vaunt the progress of enlightenment, that the Devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist!' "

I prefer How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION

Get busy living...or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.

ALMOST FAMOUS

They don't even know what it is to be a fan. Y'know? To truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts.

ADAPTATION

I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion. I want to know how it feels to care about something passionately.

SCHINDLER'S LIST

The truth is always the right answer.

FIGHT CLUB

So many, but this is my favorite:

It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.

MAGNOLIA

I have several from this too but while this isn't the best quote in it, i really like it.

It's dangerous to confuse children with angels.

NORTH BY NORTHWEST

In the world of advertising, there's no such thing as a lie. There's only expedient exaggeration.

AMERICAN BEAUTY

I don't think that there's anything worse than being ordinary. tho i love the line "Fuck me, your majesty", cuz it's so hilarious

VERTIGO

Here I was born, and there I died. It was only a moment for you...you took no notice.

MEMENTO
(yeah this is the 11th movie listed here (it's actually lower on my real list but i love this quote so...)

We all need mirrors to remind ourselves of who we are. I'm no different.

3) The Matrix - "Human beings...are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague. And we...are the cure."

4) Jaws - "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

5) Aliens - "Game over, man! Game over!"

6) American Beauty - "My job requires mostly masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that less closely resembles Hell."

7) The Terminator - "Fuck you, asshole."

8) Dr. Strangelove - "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."

9) Jurassic Park - "When ya gotta go, ya gotta go."

10) The Godfather - "Fredo, you're my older brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever."

1. American Beauty

Lose my job? I didn't lose my job, it's not like, whoops! Where'd my job go? I QUIT. SOMEONE pass me the asparagus!"

2. Moulin Rouge

Oh! look darling, a little frog!

3. The Godfather Parts I & II

In my home? In my bedroom where my wife sleeps! Where my children come and play with their toys. In. My. Home!"

4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

I couldn't do that. Could you do that? Why can they do it? Who are those guys?

5. Trainspotting

Do you find that this approach usually works? Or let me guess, you've never tried it before. In fact, you don't normally approach girls - am I right? The truth is that you're a quiet sensitive type but, if I'm prepared to take a chance, I might just get to know the inner you: witty, adventurous, passionate, loving, loyal. Taxi! A little bit crazy, a little bit bad. But hey - don't us girls just love that?

6. Annie Hall

There's an old joke. Uh, two elderly women are at a Catskills mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know, and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.

7. Pulp Fiction

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?

8. L.A. Confidential

Have you a valediction, boyo?

9. Say Anything…

The rain on my car is a baptism, the new me, Power Lloyd, my assualt on the world begins now.

10. Lord of the Rings

That doesn't make sense. But, then again, you are very small

1.) Taxi Driver

"Well I'm the only one here" & ": Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man."


2.) Pulp Fiction

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poision and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee. I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin'... it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd. "


3.) Raging Bull

"I remember those cheers, they still ring in my ears and for years they remain in my thoughts. 'Cause one time I took off my robe and, whoops, I forgot to wear shorts. I recall every fall, every hook, every jab, the worst way a guy can get rid of his flab. As you know my life wasn't fab. And though... and though I'd rather hear you cheer when I delve into Shakespeare "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse", I haven't had a winner in six months. And though I'm no Olivier, if he fought Sugar Ray, he would say that the thing ain't ring, it's the play. So give me a stage, where this bull here can rage, and though I can fight I'd much rather recite: That's Entertainment. That's Entertainment."


4.) 2001: A Space Odyssey

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm afraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January, 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you...Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two."


5.) Magnolia

"You prick. Cocksucker, that what you used to like to say, isn't it? Well you're a cocksucker Earl. It hurts, doesn't it? You in a lot of pain? She was in a lot of pain. Right to the end she was in a lot of pain. I know because I was there Earl. You didn't like illness though, did you? I was there. She waited for your call. For you to come... I am not gonna cry, I am not gonna cry for you! You cocksucker, I know you can hear me. I want you to know that I hate your fucking guts. You can just fucking die, you fuck. And I hope it hurts, I hope it hurts....Why didn't you call?"


6.) La Dolce Vita

"Even the most miserable life is better than a sheltered existence in an organized society where everything is calculated and perfected"


7.) Do The Right Thing

"Mookie...always do the right thing."


8.) Apocalypse Now

"Charlie don't surf!"


9.) The Last Picture Show

Ruth Popper's final speech, I don't know it by heart and couldn't find it anywhere, but it's one of the most heartbreaking monologues ever written.


10.) The Third Man

"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Forgive the LENGTH of a couple of these...

Kes

"...Just come out sir. Fisher, German bite, shippin' forecast sir. Fisher, German bite, Cromertee. A' like...'a like to hear it every night sir, a' like names..."

Glengarry Glen Ross

"You stupid fucking cunt! You, Williamson...I'm talking to you, shithead...You just cost me six thousand dollars! Six thousand dollars and one Cadillac. That's right. What are you going to do about it? What are you goin to do about it, asshole? You fucking shit. Where did you learn your trade. You stupid fucking cunt. You idiot. Whoever told you you could work with men...!?"

Life Of Brian

"I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb. Where's the foetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?"

Trainspotting

"We called him Mother Superior on account of the length of his habit..."

Naked

"I'm talkin' 'bout the HOLY fucking book. "What is the mark? Well, the mark is the bar-code - the ubiquitous bar-code that you'll find on every bog roll, on every packet of johnnies, on every poxy pork pie...and every fuckin' bar-code is divided into two parts by three markers...and those three markers are always represented by the number six. six, six, six! Now what does that say? No one shall be able to buy, sell WITHOUT that mark. Now, what they're planning to do in order to eradicate credit card fraud, and in order to precipitate a totally cashless society, they're gonna subcutaneously laser-tattoo that mark onto your right hand or forehead. They're going to replace plastic with flesh. Fact! In the same book of revelation when the seven seals are broken open on the day of judgement, and the seven angels blow the trumpets, when the third angel blows 'er ...erm...bugle, 'Wormwood will fall from the sky'. Wormwood will poison a third part of all the land, and many...many...many people will die. Now d'you know what the Russian translation for 'Wormwood' is? ... Chernobyl! Fact!"

Blue Velvet

"Suave! Goddamn you're one suave fucker!"

Pulp Fiction

"Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? Come on Yolanda what's Fonzie like...?!"

The Wicker Man

"I think I could turn and live with animals. They are so placid and self-contained. They do not lie awake in the dark...and weep for their sins. They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God. Not one of them kneels to another or to his own kind that lived thousands of years ago..."

Withnail & I

"Longtemps, longtemps de teau cheveux. Oh, Bodelair. Brings back such memories of Oxford...(followed by yet another anecdote about his sensitive crimes in a punt with a chap called Norman who had red hair and a poetry book stained with the butter drips from hot crumpets)...Indeed I often wonder where Norman is now. Probably wintering with his mother in Guilford, a cat, rain, vim under the sink and both bars on. But old now, there is no true beauty without decay."


I can't place a Ratcatcher quote at the moment..., it's all about the visuals.

You get befuddled by a middle-class morality? Get shut of it. Shut it out. You cheated on your wife? You did it, live with it. You fuck little girls, so be it. There's an absolute morality? Maybe. And then what? If you think there is, then be that thing. Bad people go to hell? I don't think so. If you think that, act that way. A hell exists on earth? Yes. I won't live in it. That's me. You ever take a dump made you feel like you'd just slept for twelve hours?"

APOCALYPSE NOW
"You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours.

- Jerry Maguire: "You ... complete me."

- Say Anything: "I don't know. I think I'm happy."

- Almost Famous: "AND I LOVE HER!"

And in no particular order:
- American Beauty: "I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me. But it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax and not try to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. Don't worry ... you will someday." (Okay not a LINE but ... lol)

- Forrest Gump: "Life is like a box of chocolates."

- Road To Perdition: "I'm glad it's you."

- The Shawshank Redemption: "Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free. I hope."

So give me a stage, where this bull here can rage, and though I can fight I'd much rather recite: That's Entertainment. That's Entertainment."

2. Schindler's List

"Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Kazimerz the Great, so called, told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. With nothing they came and with nothing they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history. "

3. Apocalypse Now

"I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us. "

4. Citizen Kane

"Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he wanted, and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was something he couldn't get, or something he lost. Anyway, I don't think it would have explained everything. I don't think any word can explain a man's life. No, I guess Rosebud is just a piece in a jigsaw puzzle...a missing piece. "

5. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Chief Bromden: My pop was real big. He did like he pleased. That's why everybody worked on him. The last time I seen my father, he was blind and diseased from drinking. And every time he put the bottle to his mouth, he don't suck out of it, it sucks out of him until he shrunk so wrinkled and yellow even the dogs didn't know him.
McMurphy: Killed him, huh?
Chief Bromden: I'm not saying they killed him. They just worked on him. The way they're working on you.

6. Pulp Fiction

"Hello, little man. Boy, I sure heard a bunch about you. See, I was a good friend of your dad's. We were in that Hanoi pit of hell together over five years. Hopefully...you'll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your Dad were, for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other. If it had been me who had not made it, Major Coolidge would be talkin' right now to my son Jim. But the way it turned out is I'm talkin' to you, Butch. I got somethin' for you.
(The Captain sits down and pulls a gold wrist watch from his pocket)
This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-grandfather during the first World War. It was bought in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee. Made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. Up till then people just carried pocket watches. It was bought by private Doughboy Erine Coolidge on the day he set sail for Paris. It was your great-grandfather's war watch and he wore it everyday he was in that war. When he had done his duty, he went home to your great-grandmother, took the watch off, put it an old coffee can, and in that can it stayed 'til your granddad Dane Coolidge was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War II. Your great-grandfather gave this watch to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Dane was a Marine and he was killed -- along with the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death, he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin' that island alive. So three days before the Japanese took the island, your granddad asked a gunner on an Air Force transport name of Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he'd never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your granddad was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad's gold watch. This watch. (holds it up, long pause) This watch was on your Daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured, put in a Vietnamese prison camp. He knew if the gooks ever saw the watch it'd be confiscated, taken away. The way your Dad looked at it, that watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slopes were gonna put their greasy yella hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something. His ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you."

7. The Godfather

"Fredo, you're my older brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever. "

"Hello Betsy. Hi, it's Travis. How ya doin'? Listen, uh, I'm, I'm sorry about the, the other night. I didn't know that was the way you felt about it. Well, I-I didn't know that was the way you felt. I-I-I would have taken ya somewhere else. Uh, are you feeling better or oh you maybe had a virus or somethin', a 24-hour virus you know. It happens. Yeah, umm, you uh, you're workin' hard. Yeah. Uh, would you like to have, uh, some dinner, uh with me in the next, you know, few days or somethin'? Well, how about just a cup of coffee? I'll come by the, uh, headquarters or somethin', we could, uh...Oh, OK, OK. Did you get my flowers in the...? You didn't get them. I sent some flowers, uh...Yeah, well, OK, OK. Can I call you again? Uh, tomorrow or the next day? OK. No, I'm gonna...OK. Yeah, sure, OK. So long."

9. Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Knights of Camelot: [singing] We're knights of the Round Table, we dance whene'er we're able. We do routines and chorus scenes with footwork impec-cable, We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and Spam a lot. / We're knights of the Round Table, our shows are for-mi-dable. But many times we're given rhymes that are quite un-sing-able, We're opera mad in Camelot, we sing from the diaphragm a lot. / In war we're tough and able, Quite in-de-fa-ti-gable. Between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate Clark Gable / It's a busy life in Camelot

Most of these are pretty long, but here goes:

1. A Clockwork Orange
"Well, well, well! Well if it isn't fat stinking billy goat Billy Boy in poison! How art thou, thou globby bottle of cheap stinking chip oil? Come and get one in the yarbles, if ya have any yarble, ya eunuch jelly thou!"

2. Raging Bull
"I remember those cheers, they still ring in my ears and for years they remain in my thoughts. 'Cause one time I took off my robe and, whoops, I forgot to wear shorts. I recall every fall, every hook, every jab, the worst way a guy can get rid of his flab. As you know my life wasn't fab. And though... and though I'd rather hear you cheer when I delve into Shakespeare "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse", I haven't had a winner in six months. And though I'm no Olivier, if he fought Sugar Ray, he would say that the thing ain't ring, it's the play. So give me a stage, where this bull here can rage, and though I can fight, I'd much rather recite. That's Entertainment."

3. Taxi Driver
"Hey, I'm not square, you're the one that's square. You're full of shit, man. What are you talking about? You walk out with those fuckin' creeps and low-lifes and degenerates out on the streets and you sell your little pussies for nothing, man? For some low-life pimp who stands in the hall? And I'm square? You're the one square, man. I don't go screwing fuck with a bunch of killers and junkies like you do. You call that hip? What world are you from?"

4. Pulp Fiction
"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.' I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."

5. Citizen Kane
"You're right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I'll have to close this place in... 60 years."

6. 2001: A Space Odyssey
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a...fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you."..."It's called 'Daisy.' Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two."

7. The Godfather (parts 1 &2)
From Part 1: "What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you."
From Part 2: "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart."

8. Apocalypse Now
": I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A ile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us."

9. Goodfellas
"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."

10. Schindler's List
"Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Kazimerz the Great, so called, told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. With nothing they came and with nothing they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history."

Never take it seriously, you never get hurt. Never get hurt, you can always have fun. And if you ever get lonely, you just go to the record store and visit all your friends. - Penny Lane, Kate Hudson

6. Boogie Nights (1997)
I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a star. I'm a big, bright shining star. - Dirk Diggler, Mark Wahlberg

7. Pulp Fiction (1994)
Oh, you ready to blow? Well I'm a mushroom-cloud-laying motherfucker, motherfucker! Every time my fingers touch brain I'm Superfly TNT, I'm the Guns of the Navarone. IN FACT, what the fuck am I doing in the back? You the motherfucker should be on brain detail! We fucking switching, I'm washing the windows and you picking up this nigger's skull! - Jules Winnfield, Samuel L. Jackson

8. Apocalypse Now (1979)
You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end... - Lt. Col. Kilgore, Robert Duvall

9. Taxi Driver (1976)
One day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the street. - Travis Bickle, Robert De Niro

10. Chasing Amy (1997)
I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't, I can't look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know...I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of. - Holden McNeil, Ben Affleck

Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the squares in the old calendars like the Battle o' Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and sometimes that shark he go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' those sharks come in and... they rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin', Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson's mate. I thought he was asleep, Reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol' fat PBY come down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water.

They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take 5 steps on every layup to the hoop, and then they wanna turn around and blame everything on the White man. Slavery ended One Hundred and Thirty Seven years ago, move the fuck on! Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus violating plungers and their 41-shots, standing behind the Blue Wall of Silence, You betray our trust! Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants. Fuck the church that protects them while delivering us to evil, and while you're at it, Fuck J.C. He got off easy, a day on the cross, a weekend in Hell, and all the halleluias of the leigoned angels for eternity. Try seven years in fuckin' Otisville, J. Fuck Osama bin Laden, Al Quaeda, and backward-ass, cave dwelling fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your 72 whores, roasting in a Jet-Fueled fire in hell. You towel-headed Camel Jockeys can kiss my royal Irish ass! Fuck Jacob Elinski, whining, malcontent. Fuck Francis Xavier Slaughtery, my best friend, judging me while he stares at my girlfriend's ass. Fuck Naturelle Rivera, I gave her my trust and she stabbed me in the back, sold me up the river, fuckin' bitch. Fuck my father, with his endless greed, standing behind that bar, sipping on club soda, selling whiskey to firemen, and cheering the Bronx Bombers. Fuck this whole city and everyone in it. From the rowhouses in Astoria to the Penthouses on Park Avenue. From the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho. From the tenaments in Alphabet City to the brownstones in park to the split-levels on Staten Island. Let an earthquake crumble it. Let the fires rage, let it burn to fuckin ash, and let the waters rise and submerge this whole rat infested place. No.....No, Fuck you Montgomery Brogan. You had it all and you threw it away, you dumb fuck!
Damn straight. Probably one of the finest-delivered lines of the year. This one actually got a round of applause when I went to see it in the cinema.
