Hasta la vista, baby

"I'll come back"

"I shall temporarily take my leave, but rest assured, dear interlocutor, that I fully intend to return to this precise location at some point in the foreseeable future, thus affording us the opportunity to continue our ongoing discourse"

Mama always said, life was like a box of chocolates!

“Surely you can’t be serious.” “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.”

"There is no spoon"

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

It's really too bad right wingers / incels love using the red pill as a metaphor

I did not hit her. It's not true. It's bullshit. I did not hit her. I did naaaht.

Oh hi Mark.

"Quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

"Merry Christmas you filthy animal! And an happy new year!"

I don't just know the movie this is from, I also know the movie the movie is from!

Angels with filthy souls!

"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears... in rain"

That’s just like, your opinion man

Nice marmot

They seem to go out of their way in The Big Lebowski to misidentify creatures ( possibly to emphasize their stupidity). The "marmot" is actually a ferret, and the "Pomeranian" is actually a Yorkie.

I had no idea about the dog ! 😄 Cheers !

I only know the difference because I used to print magazines that featured both Pomeranians and Yorkies.

One is never done discovering stuff with this film, it's mad

Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.

Shaken, not stirred.

"Sir, Mr. Bond has just reached the bar."
"Impossible. I killed him last year and even if he survived: How could you possibly tell him apart from all the other guests? He gets a whole new face every few years."
"He's the only one who orders his martinis 'sHaKEn, NoT StiRrED'."
"I see. Good work, Barman."

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."

Game over man!

One ping, only.

Yer a wizard, Harry

Hey, you guys!!

Nazis, I hate these guys.

As you wish!

  • Inconceivable!
  • They're heeere.
  • We're gonna need a bigger boat.
  • Nobody puts baby in a corner.
  • I'm the king of the world!
  • Heyyy Youuu Guuuuys!
  • I'm Batman

Do you feel lucky, punk? Well? Do ya?

This and a couple other big quotes might almost be too recognizable for their own good, they've been referenced and parodied by so many other movies out there that some people probably know the quote but not really know what movie they actually originated from.

Doesn’t help that the film is from ‘71, over 50 years ago, so the pool of people here who have actually seen it is gonna be pretty small.

And the words get twisted along the way. That exact quote doesn't actually appear in the movie it's supposedly famous for.

I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 magnum handgun, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya ... Punk?

For anyone who hasn't seen it, or just hasn't heard the full version.

The most interesting thing to me is not that people quote "do you feel lucky... Punk?" Because if you see it not as a direct quote, but as more of a condensed version, that references the movie, and accurately captures the signature "...punk?"

I think it's more interesting that people have seemingly turned the quote around, because a lot of people then add the "well, do ya?" At the end. So it's either "do you feel lucky... Punk? Well, do ya?" Which just doesn't sound right to me. At least when it's "do ya feel lucky? Well do ya... Punk?" It captures the essence still lol.

"Life, uh, finds a way."

I see you shiver with antici…..

And as this post sorely misses classic romcom:

  • I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her
  • Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms.

“It’s Wayne’s world! Wayne’s world! Party on!”

Where we are going, we don't need roads.

Said before every hike.

"Luke, I am your father!"

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

"I can't let you do that, Dave."

"you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

And amusingly it's not "Luke", it's "No, I am your father"! One of the most commonly misremembered quotes in film history.

True, i went of memory. It's been a long time I've seen the movie.

First I know, second and third I don't have a singel clue and the fourth I have heard but I can't place it.

Fourth is Batman (the one with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson). It's Joker's line.

That explains it, while I haven't seen it. I'm in enough Batman circles to have heard it somewhere.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need...roads.

Yo Adrian!

Cooper, this is no time for caution

The Holy Grail is so full of recognizable quotes that you can quote several lines from pretty much any scene and it'd be recognizable.

I missed the part where that's my problem.

"Those aren't two pillows!"

"Nobody leaves this place without singin' the blues."

"It's showtime!"

"That's not a motorcycle, baby. It's a chopper."

"You're a daisy if you do.'

"Mr. Blutarsky. Zero-point-zero.""

"I want my two dollars!"

"So THAT'S how it is in their family."

  • “Go ahead, make my day”
  • “ Do you feel lucky, punk?”
  • “ Every day for the past ten years, Loretta there's been giving me a large black coffee; today she gives me a large black coffee, only it has sugar in it. A lotta sugar. I just came back to complain.”
  • “Listen, punk. To me you're nothin' but dogshit, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogshit. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog shits ya!”
  • “It’s a hell of a thing, to kill a man”

"But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

"Whatever the heck I want, gosh!"

"Shampoo is better. I go on first and clean the hair. No! Conditioner is better. I leave the hair silky and smooth."

"I can't believe you came on my mom."

"Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya!"

"'Sweet,' what's mine say?"

"I have been fucked like that since grade school"

"His name is Robert Paulson."

"This is Bob. Bob has bitch tits."

"She's just polishing the brass on the Titanic, it's all going down man."

"People are always asking me if I know Tyler Durden."

"You're an inanimate fucking object!"

Almost had me?

You almost had me?! You never had me - you never had your car. Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should. You're lucky that 100-shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake!

Now, me and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried. Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning.

I love how I can instantly know all these quotes.

"Get away from her you BITCH"

Another classic everyone here should know.

Better yet " FUCKING A man"

Put the bunneh... back in the box.

The Needs Of The Many Outweigh The Needs Of The Few

You take the blue pill... the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill... you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes

As you wish.

From now on, I want to be called Loretta.

Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!

"Did you kill anyone?" "Just cops" "No real people?" "Nah just cops"
