Was musing this one over the weekend.

Rubbish film, but love this line...

'You, 8 o'clock. You, 9 o'clock... (pauses and looks at her haggard face) bring a friend. (Alan Rickman in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves).

Most useful has been

bit more than a single line I'm afraid but I like it.

Tyler Durden: Fight club.
"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. "

Slim: You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow.

From "Big Wednesday"

Matt Johnson: You know, Mrs. Barlow, there's something I'd like straighten out.
Mrs. Barlow: What's that, Matt?
Matt Johnson: Well, I did a lot of things around here I'm kind of ashamed of. I tore up your lawn with my '40 Ford...
Mrs. Barlow: Many times.
Matt Johnson: Took my pants off in front of your friends...
Mrs. Barlow: Oh, yes.
Matt Johnson: And I even passed out in your closet, but I never, and I don't know who could have if I didn't, but I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.

mastiles, I agree that RH, Prince of Thieves is a crapy film, but Alan Rickman is goooood in that film. Pretty much saves it as a watchable film.

"Put the bunny back in the box" Another crap film.

So many from Apocalypse Now - the smell of napalm, etc.

Secret AGENT? On WHOSE side?

By the powers invested in me by this parish, I hereby do commandeer this vehicle and all those persons within.
And that means you, smartass.

You picked the WRONG parish to haul ass through BOY! NOBODY cuts and runs on Sheriff JW PEPPER! And it's him who's speakin' by the by. [/b][/i]

A speech rather than a line but considering the film was made in 1940 and his first spoken language film, a pretty brave film.

Dammit, beat me to it with the Con Air "bunny" quote - surreal moment.

Love the Hudson/Vasquez lines from Aliens:
Hudson:"Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?"
Vasquez:"No. Have you?"

"Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy sh*t with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the f*cking trigger 'til it goes "click."

We want cake, and fine wines. We want the finest wines known to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!

Or - the 'foot massage' scene outside the door in Pulp Fiction.

"Look maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but touchin' his lady's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her holyiest of holyies, ain't the same ballpark, ain't the same league, ain't even the same chuffin' sport"

Pulp Fiction - It's how things are the same over there but with little differences.

Example?

In Paris you can't get a quarter pounder, it's a Royale because of the metric system

So what's a Big Mac?

A Big Mac's a Big Mac or Le Big Mac

'Not the livestock!' - O' Brother Where Art Thou?

My favorite ever quote is from the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Play though, the film was poor, and I turned it off when they were about to be ejected out of the air lock and this dialogue was missing.

Arthur: It's at times like this I wish I'd listened to my mother.
Ford: Why, what did she say?
Arthur: I don't know, I wasn't listening.

My favourite two:

or

"Who the f*ck am I? I'm the guy who does his f*cking job. You must be the other guy!" (The Departed)

As to Withnail and I being the most quotable filmever, 24 Hour Party People has some winners too.

God: It's a pity you didn't sign the Smiths, but you were right about Mick Hucknell. His music's rubbish, and he's a ginger.

Tony Wilson (on the Happy Mondays): Every band needs it's own special chemistry. And Bez was a very good chemist.

too many from Airplane to mention but here's a couple

Witness: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.
Prosecutor: Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of your crew?
Witness: Right. Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.
Prosecutor: *Andy* went to pieces?
Witness: No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.
Prosecutor: *Howie* came unglued?
Witness: Oh, no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
Prosecutor: And he bailed out?
Witness: No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle.
Prosecutor: Then Howie survived?
Witness: No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.
Prosecutor: Over Macho Grande?
Witness: No. I don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prosecutor: Dr. Stone, would you give the court your impression of Mr. Striker?
Dr. Stone: I'm sorry, I don't do impressions... my training is in psychiatry.

The whole of Repo Man, but especially...

Bud: Credit is a sacred trust, it's what our free society is founded on. Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? I said, do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?
Otto: They don't pay bills in Russia, it's all free.
Bud: All free? Free my ass. What are you, a ****in' commie? Huh?
Otto: No, I ain't no commie.
Bud: Well, you better not be. I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either.

Bud: "An ordinary person spends his life avoiding tense situations. A repo man spends his life getting into tense situations."

Miller: John Wayne was a fag.
All: The hell he was!
Miller: He was, too, you boys. I installed two-way mirrors in his pad in Brentwood, and he come to the door in a dress.

Kevin: "There's room to move as a fry cook. In two years I could be manager. King! God!"

Miller: "Suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly someone will say, 'Plate' or 'Shrimp' or 'Plate of shrimp,' out of the blue. No explanation and there's no point in looking for one either. It's all part of the cosmic unconsciousness."

"You know the way everybody is into weirdness right now? Books in all the supermarkets about the Bermuda Triangle, UFO's, how the Mayans invented television, that kind of thing? Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There ain't no difference between a flying saucer or a time machine."

"People get so hung up on specifics, they miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. Every year in South America thousands of people turn up missing. Nobody knows where they go. They just disappear. But if you think for a minute, realize something: there had to be a time when there was no people right? Well, where did all these people come from? I'll tell you where: the future. Where did all these people disappear to: the past. How did they get there? Flying saucers, which are really, yeah, you got it: time machines."

Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.

Tommy DeVito: what do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?
Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong.
Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Henry Hill: Jus...
Tommy DeVito: What?
Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.
Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little f*cked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to f*ckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?
Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the * am I funny, what the * is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!
Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the **** out of here, Tommy!
Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherf*cker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.
