"Flying a plane is just like riding a bicycle, it's just harder to get baseball cards in the spokes."

Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
LOL, Ghostbusters....
"Nobody steps on a church in my town!"
"And...the flowers are still standing."
"Look at all the junkfood!"
Ghostbusters is great!
"Do...Ray...Egon!"
"It looks like a big Jello mould."
"I hate Jello"
"Aw c'mon, there's always room for Jello."
Another one from Airplane: "Surely, you can't be serious."
"I am serious, and quit calling me Shirley!"
This one from Cutthroat Island: "By the way, that won't work. I took you balls."
One from The Princess Bride: "I am Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!"

"What we got here, is ... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week. Which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. I don't like it anymore than you men." --Cool Hand Luke

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? " John Keating, Dead Poets Society.
"Excrement! That's what I think of Mr. J. Evans Pritchard! We're not laying pipe! We're talking about poetry. How can you describe poetry like American Bandstand? "I like Byron, I give him a 42 but I can't dance to it!" -John Keating, Dead Poets Society
And, this entire scene from Dead Poets Society:
John Keating: Close your eyes - closure! Close 'em! Now, describe what you see.
Todd Anderson: I... I close my eyes, and this image floats beside me.
John Keating: A sweaty-toothed madman.
Todd Anderson: A sweaty-toothed madman with a stare that pounds my brain.
John Keating: Oh, that's *excellent*! Now, give him action - make him do something!
Todd Anderson: His hands reach out and choke me.
John Keating: That's it! Wonderful, wonderful!
Todd Anderson: And all the time he's mumbling.
John Keating: What's he mumbling?
Todd Anderson: Mumbling truth... Truth's like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold.
John Keating: [some of the class start to laugh] Forget them, forget them! Stay with the blanket. Tell me about that blanket!
Todd Anderson: Y-You push it, stretch it, it'll never be enough. You kick at it, beat it, it will never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying to the moment we leave dying, it will cover just your head as you wail and cry and scream!
[class appauds]
John Keating: Don't you forget this.
Really, I could just list the entire script of Dead Poets Society and my favorite quotes.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year:
"I'm not an actor, I'm a movie star!"
I love that movie, Chris.
Here's a few of mine. I tend to like quotes that i can use in real life, to annoy friends and family. Or you can just about take any line from Fight Club ... and call it one of my favorite quotes.
"No milk will ever be our milk." - Billy Madison (and several other Billy M quotes that I won't name.)
"Go ahead, make my millenium." - Beetlejuice
"Hey man, watch the leather." - Dazed and Confused
"I am Jack's wasted life." Fight Club
The whole shh ... zip it ... thing from Austin Powers is great to use on someone you want to shut up, especially five year olds who are whining incessantly about how they want another cookie.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.

- V for Vendetta
Roland would have understood.
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.

"Well, I'll take these home, run through them with a fine tooth comb, cross the t's dot the..........lower case j's....."
Wayne's World 2
"Strike that, reverse it." - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
There's so many other fine quotable lines from that movie, unlike the shitty second movie with Johnny Depp.
