Blatant Idea Swiping

I ripped this idea off Dan...

What is your favourite movie quote?        ...and why?

"Luke... I am your father!"

"The Force is strong in this one."

"There has been a disturbance in the Force."

Ah heck, just paste the entire script to all three films of the Star Wars trilogy in this post. ~_~*

"You know what my #1 fantasy used to be?"
"What?"
"I used to think about one day, just not telling anyone, and going off to some random place...and I'd just...disappear. And they'd never see me again."

Because I feel like this ALL the time.

Oh...and it's from Ghost World.

Some of my own

Potter: Ow! It hurts!
Lawrence: Of course it hurts.
Potter: What's the trick, then?
Lawrence: The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.
-Lawrence of Arabia
Why: Because it gets me through unpleasant crap that needs to be done.

"Nobody can eat 50 eggs" and "Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand"
-Cool Hand Luke
Why: Because it reminds me that while bluffing works, you should always be ready to live up to your bluffs. The fight scene means a lot to me, too. Sometimes you can win the fight just by refusing to stay down.

"A person can be smart. *People* are dumb, panicky animals"
-MiB
Why: Truth

There are more, to be sure. These ones are just what came to mind at the moment.

I feel like fear and loathing is such a cop out, but I really love this scene...

looks down and sees a dwarf carrying drinks and tugging his leg trying to get him to move out of the way.

DUKE: "A drug person can learn to cope with things like seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth but, nobody should be asked to handle this trip."

It reminds me of the things I don't remember from my drug addled days... I imagine I may have said the same thing at some point.

paraphrasing some faves off the top of my head

"You look like a bag of shit stuffed in a cheap suit."

"So I'm not sick? Except for this terminal disease?"

Joe vs the Volcano is sooooooo great...
