Searched for a topic like this and I couldn't find it.
Like the title says. Doesn't have to be from Bond movies.

I've started using "The horror... the horror..." from Apocalypse Now ever since I saw it.

I use "'Cause he's ugly!" from Hot Fuzz

and "Yes... considerably." From Casino Royale

[Turn]

I used to use a lot of movie lines years ago, not so much now.

I still use a few from Caddyshack every now and then and Fletch and Pulp Fiction and other Tarantino flicks. A few Bonds here and there as well.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Movie quotes I have used often:

"What we've got here is failure to communicate" (from Cool Hand Luke)

"Yippee-ki-yay, mother[censored]er!"

[00Twelve]

Oh, man. WAY too much of my vocabulary comes from movie scripts.

Right now, the ones I find myself using most are probably:

"Break the wrist, walk away." - Napoleon Dynamite

"Eddie? ...Eddie?? ...EDDIE???" - Christmas Vacation

"Get away from the door." - Ace Ventura (To clarify, it's the bonehead from the beginning who yells that at the dog, as if a dog could understand what he's saying. That's usually my code when I see a miraculously dumb individual during my day. I live in East Tennessee, folks, so that's a rather oft-used phrase.)

So many movies in rotation all the time. Usually comedies.

"Use the force, Luke!"

[Judo chop]

"That's good. Reaaal goooood. 'Cause law don't go around here, lawdawwwg."

- Ike Clanton, TOMBSTONE

My brother invented it. It really comes about whenever we comment on something, saying it’s ‘good’. Like a beer, or a meal, or a fancy lay-up in basketball. Instinctively we remark: “Mmm… that’s good.” And then the other guy will chime in. “Oh yeah… that’s reeeeaaal gooood.”

And then of course, though it has nothing to do with anything, we have to wrap up the dialogue with the ‘law-dog’ bit.

I also quote BRAVEHEART the way people take vitamins.

Too many and it depends on the situation. Also, depends if I can't come up with something on my own.

Then again, there's always my usual trademark fall backs of my own.

No...Really.

[Mr. Blofeld]

As a sarcastic reply, I use the ever reliable:

"Shocking. Positively shocking."

[Professor Pi]

As a teacher, I use Roger Moore's intonation of "Blast" instead of American swearing.

But my most oft-used quote comes from a Bond spoofer:

"... and I'd like a toilet made of gold, but it's just not in the cards!"--Austin Powers

[Captain Tightpants]

"Shiny!" from Firefly/Serenity. Haven't started using "Gorram" and "Ruttin'" just yet - and I don't intend to - but I have been known to drop a choice Mandarin phrase from the show instead of swearing.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

I quite often use "I'll be back" when I leave somewhere! I'm so sad!!!

[Loomis]

"Use the force, Luke!"

Fnarr.

I myself enjoy using Hans Gruber's sarky dismissal in DIE HARD: "I'll take it under advisement." Also Bruce Willis' response of "Take this under advisement, jerkweed!" I've never, ever encountered the word "advisement" anywhere else. Ever. Have you?

Elliot's "It was nothing like that, penis breath!" from E.T. is another useful old favourite.

[Joey Bond]

"Yes, considerably"
"Do I look like I give a damn?"
"Can I offer an opinion?"

And I use the last name, first name, last name formula from time to time, like:
"Who's the Prime Minister of Australia?"
"Rudd. Kevin Rudd."
Doesn't work with Thai names though, coz they're too long

[Loomis]

I've become very fond of using the Joker's "And here.... we.... go!" from THE DARK KNIGHT. Fond to the point of annoying all and sundry (probably), but do I care? Nope. I just keep on keepin' on.

Actually, Jokerspeak is very addictive, I'm finding. Rack 'em up, rack 'em up, rack 'em up.

Here's a nice little list to get the wannabe Joker-quoter started:

Cheers Loomis!

I've posted it before somewhere around here, but I once had an exchange between a producer (that I worked for at the time) and a writer present (I didn't know they were the writer) of a script he (the producer) had asked me to read.

Bottom line - I didn't like it but wasn't unduly harsh about it with my critique. This was circa '98 and TND had been running on cable here in the states and it went along the lines of:

Bryce: (after comments) "So....For me and in general, it could work but right now, it doesn't. Just my two cents."

Producer: "Well, *pointing to writer in the room* He seems to think it might, but thanks."

Bryce: (to writer) "No offense."

Producer: (to writer) "When you remove mister Axworthy's heart, there should be just enough time for him to watch it stop beating."

Bryce: "I would have thought reading the damn thing was torture enough."

I still had my job in the morning though.

I sometimes say: "Filthy habit" when I see someone smoking. I'm a big non-smoker!

[Jaws0178]

I do it pretty regularly, which urines everyone I know off. Recently, I used two Brosnan era quotes toward my daughter. The first one, she was messing with my computer. I looked at her and said "Must you touch everything?" The other one was from Die Another Day also. We had put her in her carseat, and she started getting fussy. My fiancee said, "I guess she does not like the carseat." and I said "No, shes a girl that doesn't like to be tied down." I know, its a paraphrase.

Historically I have used many lines from Airplane over and over again. Over the last few years, Zoolander has also been quoted.

[Vauxhall]

Lines from WEDDING CRASHERS always get a good airing from me.

[DamnCoffee]

Whenever someone says to me, "I'll be right back", my natural reaction is to respond with "You never left!", a variation on Bonds line in Quantum of Solace. xD

[Johnboy007]

"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."

[Mr. Blofeld]

When someone's making a dumb joke: "Laugh it up, fuzzball!"

[Jose]

"Shake and Bake!" after I saw Talladega Nights, I started using that, in addition to the the normal peace out and see you later, whenever me and my friend had to go off and do our own respective things.

When I'm cleaning and I put on rubber gloves, my sister always said "Don't attempt anything without the gloves!" from Withnail and I. Actually we tend to quote from W&I all the time.

My dorky love of that movie and knowing the quotes came in handy once. I was at a Doctor Who convention a few years back and sat in on a Paul McGann interview panel. When asked what he wanted as his epitaph he didn't know and asked for suggestions. I shouted "He'd gone on holiday by mistake!". McGann cracked up, had me repeat it louder and said "That's it! That's what I want as my epitaph!" We met after the panel and had a good ten minute or so conversation before people started pulling him away. Got a hug and a couple of kisses out of him. My dorkiness can be rather endearing.

[Red Barchetta]

Right now, I have a few- they come from movies and TV, and I rotate them every so often, just for fun...


"I love it when a plan comes together" (The A-Team)

"I'll be back" (Terminator)

"Step off b*tch!" (Meet the Parents)
