Sherrif John Wyndell...

"Dying is not an option. Now you stick that back in that gray matter of yours and you make that stick. Cause any other thought is gonna get you cold slab, toe tag and mailed home to your mamma in a plastic bag. Are we crystal?"
-Devil's Rejects

I got more, but don't want to take up all the space.

"If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed..." - Emperor, Star Wars Episode VI (cf. Luke 13:3, 5).

[marc]

From Mystery Men, as discussed elsewhere today:

[Mr. Furious tries to balance a hammer on his head]
Mr. Furious: Why am I doing this?
The Sphinx: If you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.
Mr. Furious: And why am I wearing the watermelon on my feet?
The Sphinx: [looks at the watermelon on Mr. Furious' feet] I don't remember telling you to do that."

[Lamb]

[Ezekiel 25:17 among others]
Jules: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities 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 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 would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

-Pulp Fiction

[Lamb]

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

-Dirty Harry

I like that one too... even though he badly misquoted the verse.

[Lamb]

James,

Indeed it is badly misquoted. However, quite the attention grabber when you hear Samuel L Jackson say it with a pistol pointed at center mass.

I'm not too big on chick flicks in case nobody has noticed.

Godfrey of Ibelin: I once fought two days with an arrow through my testicle.

-Kingdom of Heaven

[Lost Highway]

Bill Munny: Hell of a thing, killin' a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess he had it comin'.
Bill Munny: We all got it comin', kid.

--Unforgiven

Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Evelle: [About the balloons he just bought] Do these blow up into funny shapes?
Grocer: Not unless you think round is funny.

Most of my favorite quotes are from Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, thus not printable on this forum.

One of my favorites that I can quote is from The Apostle --

"We ain't here for no cakes and pies." -- Billy Bob Thornton

Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

[Jimbob]

From The War:

Ebb Lipnicki: [after falling into a cespool] It smells like a butt down here!

and

From Babe (of all things):

Narrator: And though every single human in the stands or in the commentary boxes was at a complete loss for words, the man who in his life had uttered fewer words than any of them knew exactly what to say.
Farmer Hoggett: That'll do, pig. That'll do.

I love that movie... In fact, since you brought it back to my attention, I think I'll watch it again tonight.

"I learned to read some. I read the Bible quite a bit. I can't understand all of it, but I reckon I understand a good deal of it. Them stories you and Mama told me ain't in there. You ought not done that to your boy. I studied on killing you. Studied on it quite a bit. But I reckon there ain't no need for it if all you're gonna do is sit there in that chair. You'll be dead soon enough and the world 'll be shut of ya. You ought not killed my little brother, he should've had a chance to grow up. He woulda had fun some time."

'Karl' from Slingblade.

"Amos Starkadder: Ye miserable, crawlin' worms. Are ye here again then? Have ye come like Nimshi, son of Rehoboam, secretly out of your doomed houses, to hear what's comin' to ye? Have ye come, old and young, sick and well, matrons and virgins, if there be any virgins amongst you, which is not likely, the world being in the wicked state that it is. Have ye come to hear me tell you of the great, crimson, licking flames of hell fire? Aye! You've come, dozens of ye. Like rats to the granary, like field mice when it's harvest home. And what good will it do ye? You're all damned! Damned! Do you ever stop to think what that word means? No, you don't. It means endless, horrifying torment! It means your poor, sinful bodies stretched out on red-hot gridirons, in the nethermost, fiery pit of hell and those demons mocking ye while they waves cooling jellies in front of ye. You know what it's like when you burn your hand, taking a cake out of the oven, or lighting one of them godless cigarettes? And it stings with a fearful pain, aye? And you run to clap a bit of butter on it to take the pain away, aye? Well, I'll tell ye, there'll be no butter in hell!"

Love this. It is from Cold Comfort Farm and this is the preaching done by Amos. The last line breaks me up.

Wow.  That makes Jonathon Edwards sound lily-livered by comparison.

From Tombstone
Wyatt Earp: You called down the thunder now you've got it. Tell 'em the law's coming! You tell em i'm coming and hells's coming with me. You hear? Hell's coming with me.

Also from Tombstone
Cowboy: Doc, you ought to be in bed. What the Hell you going this for anyway?
Doc Holliday: Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Cowboy: Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: I don't.

And another
Doc Holliday: "There is no normal life, Wyatt. There's just life.

Napoleon Dynamite: Just tell them that their wildest dreams will come true if they vote for you.

Later in the movie
Pedro: Vote for me, and all your wildest dreams will come true.

And my favorite from Napoleon.
Uncle Rico: How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?...

"Inconceivable!"

"You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Another great quote from The Princess Bride

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.

Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Man in Black: You've made your decision then?

Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?
Man in Black: Australia.

Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Man in Black: You're just stalling now.

Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.

Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!

Man in Black: Then make your choice.

Vizzini: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be?

Vizzini: [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. Roberts looks.
Vizzini swaps the goblets]

Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.

Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.

Man in Black, Vizzini: [they drink ]

Man in Black: You guessed wrong.

Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...

Vizzini: [Vizzini stops suddenly, and falls dead to the right]

Buttercup: And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned.

Man in Black: They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

Everyone who works with people should love this line from Cool Hand Luke!

"What we have here is a failure to communicate"

[James Rondon]

And my favorite from Napoleon.
Uncle Rico: How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?...

I love that line, too. My wife hates it, because every time we watch the movie (which has been a lot, so far, by the way), I respond to Rico out loud by saying, "all the money in the world, dude". Actually, she hates the fact that I say that every time more than what Rico actually said.
