Not my "favorite" of all time, but I just saw "The Hurt Locker" today and this is now on my top ten list. BTW, the movie is about an EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) team.
Colonel Reed: "What's the best way to go about disarming one of these things?"
Staff Sgt James: "The way you don't die, sir!"
Great movie, although my wife said it was too much like a documentary for her.
from "The Shining"
Perhaps they need a good talking to, if you don't mind my saying so. Perhaps a bit more. My girls, sir, they didn't care for the Overlook at first. One of them actually stole a pack of matches, and tried to burn it down. But I corrected them sir. And when my wife tried to prevent me from doing my duty, I corrected her.
PIPPIN: I didn’t think it would end this way.
GANDALF:End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back and all turns to silvered glass. And then you see it.
PIPPIN:What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF:White shores and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that’s not so bad.
GANDALF: No. No it isn’t.

If that was the speech in that red and white bathroom, that was a BRILLIANT scene. Remember when the camera POV changed to show who was really in charge?
"Wendy? Darling? Light... of my...life? I'm not gonna hurt ya!"
Forget about it is like if you agree with someone, you know, like Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass, forget about it.
But then, if you disagree, like A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it! you know?
But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like mingia those peppers, forget about it.
But it's also like saying Go to hell! too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?" and Paulie says "Forget about it!"
Sometimes it just means forget about it.
"Go sell crazy somewhere else; we're all stocked up here." - Jack Nicholson (I think that's the spelling of his last name)
One of my favorite movie quotes is also from that movie. It's the scene where his publisher's secretary asks him how he writes women so well and he responds:
"I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability."
I clapped when he said that.
My all time favorite movie that I will always quote forever though is Tombstone. The ones I use the most are (all in a southern accent, of course): "You're a daisy if you do" "I'm your Huckleberry" and "You're no daisy! You're no daisy at all!"
There was a time when I could've quoted you the entire latin conversation between Doc Hollyday and Johnny Ringo and told you what it meant.
I've always loved this line from Ever After.
Queen Marie: Choose your words wisely, madame, for they may be your last.
I sometimes use it.
