Favourite Movie Quotes

Well, it's not all serious and raw intellectual stuff (which is real fun in my opinion) in my blog. Let us have some fun too, in the popular sense. Here, I am posting some of my favourite quotes from the movies. I like them for their sheer genius and creativity,(intellectually speaking.... oh, no... not again...) as well as impeccable dialogue delivery by the performers. Here are some....

Goldfinger


(Sean Connery in his unique voice)

James Bond: Do you expect me to talk
?
Goldfinger: No, Mr.Bond. I expect you to die.

Layer Cake

('Facts of life' speech by Michael Gambon)

Harry Temple: You're born, 'u take shit. Get out in the world, 'u take more shit. Climb a little higher, 'u take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son

Magnolia

(William H.Macy at his best)

I really do have love to give
. I just don't know where to put it

Lord of War


Never go to war; Especially with yourselves


Play it to the Bone

If a man builds a thousand bridges and sucks one dick, they don't call him a bridge-builder... they call him a cocksucker

(Another one from the same movie)


I am an atheist, thank GOD


V for Vendetta

We're oft to blame, and 'tis too much proved, that with devotion's visage and pious action we do sugar o'er the devil himself

(From V again)


(all his guards shooting at him)

Creedy: Die! Die! Why won't you die?... Why won't you just die?
V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh and blood. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr.Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof

(One more from V)


You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it


Mission:Impossible:2

(Anthony Hopkins at his masterful best)

Commander Swanbeck: Mr. Hunt, this isn't mission difficult, it's mission impossible. "Difficult" should be a walk in the park for you

Beowulf

(One more from Anthony Hopkins)

Hrothgar: No, Unferth No. The Gods won't do anything for us, that we can do for ourselves. What we need is a hero.

Silence of the Lambs


(And my favourite from Hopkins, though I hate Jodie Foster's dialogue delivery)


Hannibal Lecter: You still wake up sometimes, don't you? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs.
Clarice Starling: Yes.
Hannibal Lecter: And you think if you save poor Catherine, you could make them stop, don't you? You think if Catherine lives, you won't wake up in the dark ever again to that awful screaming of the lambs.

Cars

(Fiat Topolino)

Liugi follow only the Ferraris


Gosford Park

(Sophie Thompson, one of the most versatile actress, in my opinion)

Dorothy: I believe in love. Not just getting it, but giving it. I think that if you're able to love someone, whether or not they love you, it's worth it.

Incredibles

Helen: Everybody is unique,
Dash.
Dash: Which is another way of saying, nobody is.

Vanishing Point

Kowalski - first, last and only...


Big Lebowski

The Dude abides
