It’s always fun to remember the great quotes from our favorite movies. Some of those quotes become so well known to us that we throw them around a lot.
I picked these in response to a challenge on Facebook a few years back, and I took sort of a different twist. In most cases here, the quote I used is not the one everyone thinks of when they think of that particular movie.
It’s a secondary one that still resonates.
Anyway, here they are, the 15 originals and 10 more added today. I’ll post the movies tomorrow.
1. I never did one thing right in my life, you know that? Not one. That takes skill.
2. Zero … point … zero.
3. I want to party with you, cowboy.
4. You dirt-eating piece of slime! You scum-sucking pig! You son of a motherless goat!
5. Hiya kids. Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. Don’t buy drugs. Become a pop star, and they give you them for free!
6. If you go any faster we’re gonna travel back in time.
7. A good friend of mine used to say, “This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.” Think about that for a while.
8. Listen, no matter what she says to you, don’t answer her back. There’s a Confederate pistol in her lap under her shawl and she’ll kill you quick as look at you.
9. She can’t act. She can’t sing. She can’t dance. A triple threat.
10. I don’t care how rich he is, as long as he has a yacht, his own private railroad car, and his own toothpaste.
11. We just don’t recognize life’s most significant moments while they’re happening. Back then I thought, “Well, there’ll be other days.” I didn’t realize that that was the only day.
12. Great game, Jimmy. I especially liked that move in the seventh inning when you scratched your balls for an hour.
13. Boss needs to be knocked on his ass every once in a while.
14. We should mate.
15. Don’t worry about it. They always hire bums like me for jobs like this.
16, Rhapsody has two mommies.
17. One day it started raining, and it didn’t quit for four months.
18. A man can convince anyone he’s somebody else, but never himself.
19. How can you trust a man that wears both a belt and suspenders? Man can’t even trust his own pants.
20. No one ever leaves a star. That’s what makes one a star.
21. I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die.
22. We can’t all be lion tamers.
23. I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain… Time to die.
24. Rich fellas come up an’ they die, an’ their kids ain’t no good an’ they die out. But we keep a’comin’. We’re the people that live. They can’t wipe us out; they can’t lick us. We’ll go on forever, Pa, ’cause we’re the people.
25. Didya hear the one about the guy who couldn’t afford personalized plates, so he went and changed his name to J3L2404?
