My ALL time favourite is HEAT: by Neil McCauley: Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

My favorite, always, WALL STREET. "The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good." Yeah pretty much that whole speech, actually.

Play it again, Sam.

You rhinoceros!

Not to split hairs, Randall...but the line, "Play it again, Sam" is actually never said in Casablanca. It's like "Luke, I am your father" somebody misquoted it and the misquote has become more famous than the actual line.

"What did you expect? 'Welcome, sonny?' 'Make yourself at home?' 'Marry my daughter?' You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West. You know...morons."

Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me. All right? You gotta dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.

"If you still want the ark, they just loaded it onto a truck for Cairo." "Truck? What truck?"

May the Schwartz be with you.

SEDA-GIVE?!!!

"Kahnnnn......."~Shatner

I'm givin' you that money so I don't have to kill your ass. You read the Bible, Ringo? Well, there's this passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." I been saying that shit for years. And if you heard it, that meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this morning made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking, maybe it means you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man, and Mr. 9 millimeter here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is, you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.

"I've got nipples, can you milk me?"

hey

"We are the music makers we are the dreamer of dreams" Willy Wonka

"Get your stinkin' paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes

Finally, someone posts a quote from a movie with real class! ;-)

Say What again!! I Dare you!

I have had it with these goddamn snakes on this goddamn plane!

[pausing to exhale cigar smoke] Tell him that Uncle Sam's in town.

"Sometimes nothing is a pretty cool hand!"

"He was a good ol' boy; a natural born world shaker."

50? "It sounded like a round number."

"...he run himself plum to death."

"I had an old score to settle."

And now for some trivia: What was CHL's number and what is its significance? What's the number of CHL's "place of residence" and what's its signifcance?

Now Charlie. Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted. What happened? He lived happily ever after. -Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

If it's worth dying for, it's worth living for. -- Meet John Doe --

Now, that's a great film!

"They should have sent a poet." ~Dr. Ellie Arroway in Contact

Generally, don't let characters talk to themselves. "You talking to me?" Thank you Martin Scorcese http://youtu.be/aVoSt1glAf4?t=22s

Why not? It happens all the time to let the audience know what a character is thinking. See the original "Die Hard" after the discussion of the watch.

Yes I know it happens all the time, and I personally have no problem with that, it can work very nice as shown by Robert De Niro. Why screenwriter gurus do not recommend it?

Maybe they're not really gurus.

There's a long laundry list of taboos for screenwriters. Most of them are broken by good writers in almost every commercially successful movie. But try telling that to a studio exec! The gurus are just telling you what's on that list!

"I'll stick this between the crack of your ass!"- The Nutty Professor (Eddie Murphy)

Yzma - put your hands in the air! - Kronk, The Emperor's New Groove

"Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight.

"I know you. You love da nut but you an empty shell inside." Pecan Metamorphosis

There are no bad actors--only bad scripts==(or something like that) said by Betty Davis.

Who' afraid of Virginia Woolf? I posted Taxi Driver to make a statement about rules. Rules are static, boundaries, limits. If the story demands it, go beyond on an incredible journey, as many improvisations too are just that.

The section is called movie quotes, not movie rules. This isn't Facebook.

You're quite right Julian, we have gone off topic. There's three ways to do things, the right way, the wrong way and the way that I do it. - Robert De Niro (Casino movie)

Monnie, Mommie Dearest was a disturbing movie. It haunts me still. I know of a mother who behaved in a similar manner and the child never fully got over it's effects on her. Parents like that should be given intensive councelling.

Fasten your seat belts. I'tss gonna be a bumpy ride! Bette Davis

"Those were the stories that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why, but I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
