Greatest movie line ever

Just to cut the tension, and since a lot of Stripes quotes are being thrown around. Me, I think it's a no brainer.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

Well after typing the whole URL, I was advised that the movie was not available at this time. It would be nice to be just able to click on a URL without having to type it but I know of Founders worries about copyright infringements.

Seen it, I was trying to be nice.

I'll be back? OK, decent, but come on, it is the equivalent of "fuck you, I'll kill you later." But delivered by a machine it loses all meaning beyond irony. "Leave the gun. Take the canolli." The pathos, the emotion, the humanity, and the pure simple utilitarian view of death compete to make it a pure expression of the human condition.

At the start of the movie Quick Change, Bill Murray walks down a New York City street dressed like a clown. The camera shoots a wide shot of him walking by a strip club. All you can hear is the barker outside. . . "Nuuuuudddeee Women. Nuuuuuddddeee Women. Clooowwwnnnnnss Welcome. Clooowwwwnnnssss Welcome. Nuuuuuudddeee Women."

It is the only fitting quote I have tonight.

"This is the 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world. It'll blow your head clean off. I know what's running through your mind, did he fire five shots, or six? To tell you the truth, in all the excitement I lost count myself. You just have to ask yourself this one question-'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"

Founder beat me to the movie. Virtually every line in "Animal House" would qualify, but the one I liked best is when Bluto tells Flounder "you fucked up."

Some other thoughts:

... offer he can't refuse (however it goes) ...
... Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn ...
... Stella! ...
... Use the Force, Luke ...
... I am Spartacus! No! I am Spartacus! No! I am ...
... Play it, Sam. (No, he didn't say "again.") ...

and one more for the ages:

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!

Woody Allen - in the company of two women talking about occasionally having "really bad orgasms".

Allen says, "Really? I don't think I've ever had a really bad orgasm. In fact, my worst orgasm was pretty much right near the top."

there's tons of good lines in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly." Fer instance...
Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach (playing a dispicable but slightly comical bad guy) are closing in on Lee Van Cleef. But Van Cleef escapes, leaving a body behind with a note attached to it. Wallach, whose character can barely read, tries to read it anyway. "See you soon idy...idy..." Clint grabs it and reads it..."See you soon idiots." He quickly looks to wallach and says, "It's for you."

This is from the X-Files television show, not a movie, but it is still one of may favorites:

Mulder (from season 1, Ice) as he is preparing for a physical exam --

That sucks you put some pretty damn good quotes out there. I not sure how mine stacks up. It's from Devil's Advocate when Al Pacino is talking to Keanu Reeves at the end trying to persuade him to have sex with a woman when his wife just died. Reeves asks him " what about love" and Pacino replies " Love? Biochemically no different then large amounts of chocolate".

Another Pacino:

In "Angels in America" (extra-long 3-part maxi-drama about gays in the Reagan era in NYC surviving AIDS; highly recommended; get the HBO film of it). Pacino plays some Washington operative who is famous for being a closeted gay, and openly opposed to "immorality" and therefore among the inner circle of the moral-majority types. He says, to the young up-and-coming Mormon who's kind of his protege when the kid questions a certain unethical deal:

Heres one of mine. This is from the David Lynch movie Blue Velvet:

"I'll send you a love letter straight from my heart fuck. Do you know what a love letter is? It's a bullet from a fucking gun. You get a love letter from me, you're fucked forever. I'll send you straight to hell fucker."

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."--The Princess Bride, delivered in perfectly over-the-top fake Spanish accent by a non-singing Mandy Patinkin. Great movie. Great line.
