BleepingComputer.com: What movie quotes impress you most?

I'm disappointed at the reference to "Shawshank" without Red's, "Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'."

I've always been a fan of the sad, inspirtaional and profound (all at once) quotes from films. One of my favorites has to be Roy Batty's "Tears in the rain" speech from "Blade Runner."

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

"Garden State" also has a couple that left some impressions on me, too.

This is your one opportunity to do something that no one has ever done before and that no one will copy throughout human existence. And if nothing else, you will be remembered as the one guy who ever did this. This one thing.

You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place where you put your bleep, that idea of home is gone. ... You'll see one day when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I don't know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place.

"I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master" (Darth Vader to Obi-Wan).

Hi,

Men of Honor is one of my best inspirational movie I have ever seen. I have learned that little word "Can't" should not stop us and the most important thing to never give up. Couple of memorable quotes I like the most:


Billy Sunday: What the hell did he ever say to make you try so hard?
Carl Brashear: Be the best.
Billy Sunday: Well, you are.

----

Jo: Why do you want this so bad?
Carl Brashear: Because they said I couldn't have it.

----

Thanks for the topic.

That has always been my absolute favourite too. Hutger's delivery is spellbounding and you truly feel he saw things we wouldnt believe. Can you honestly even imagine waht "shoulder of Orion", and "C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate" could look like?!? Greatest cinema moment for me and my top film of all time.


Empire Strikes Back. "No....I, am your father"..."Join me"...."Its your destiny"...etc. The most heart stopping conversation I experienced in my cinema going life...pure gold.

Jaws: "We gonna need a bigger boat"

Night of the Hunter: "Children...oh children" (Robert Mitcham at his most devilish best)

Pulp Fiction: I think half of this movie fills out the rest of my top 50 favourite lines, lol. But I'll quote one:

"I am far from f***ing ok!"

"I shall leave you as you left me...as you left her...marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet. BURIED ALIVE! ...buried alive..." "KHAN!!!!" "KHANNNN!!!!!

And of course, from Glengarry, Glen Ross...slightly edited:

Blake: You're talking about what.You're talking about... bleeping about that sale you shot, some sonofableep who don't wanna buy land, some broad you're trying to screw, so forth. Let's talk about something important. They all here?
Williamson: All but one.
Blake: I'm going anyway. Let's talk about something important. Put. That coffee. Down. Coffee's for closers only. You think I'm f**king with you? I am not f**king with you. I'm here from downtown. I'm here from Mitch and Murray. And I'm here on a mission of mercy. Your name's Levine? You call yourself a salesman you son of a bleep?
Dave Moss: I don't gotta sit here and listen to this s**t.
Blake: You certainly don't pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. "Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them. you can't close the leads youre given you can't close s#+t. You ARE s#+t. Hit the bricks pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT.
Shelley Levene: The leads are weak.
Blake: The leads are weak? F**king leads are weak. You're weak. I've been in this business 15 years...
Dave Moss: What's your name?
Blake: F**k you. That's my name. You know why, mister? You drove a Hyundai to get here. I drove an eighty-thousand dollar BMW. THAT'S my name. And your name is you're wanting. You can't play in the man's game, you can't close them - go home and tell your wife your troubles. Because only one thing counts in this life: Get them to sign on the line which is dotted. You hear me you f**king f@&&*ts? A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing. ALWAYS BE CLOSING. A-I-D-A. Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Attention - Do I have you attention? Interest - Are you interested? I know you are, because it's f**k or walk. You close or you hit the bricks. Decision - Have you made your decision, for Christ? And Action. A-I-D-A. Get out there - you got the prospects coming in. You think they came in to get out of the rain? A guy don't walk on the lot lest he wants to buy. They're sitting out there waiting to give you their money. Are you gonna take it? Are you man enough to take it? What's the problem, pal?
Dave Moss: You - Moss. You're such a hero, you're so rich, how come you're coming down here wasting your time with such a bunch of bums?
Blake: You see this watch? You see this watch?
Dave Moss: Yeah.
Blake: That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much'd you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a s#+t. Good father? F**k you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you c0rks^(ker? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don't like it, leave. I can go out there tonight with the materials you've got and make myself $15,000. Tonight! In two hours! Can you? Can YOU? Go and do likewise. A-I-D-A. Get mad you son of a bleepes. get mad. You want to know what it takes to sell real estate? It takes BRASS BALLS to sell real estate. Go and do likewise gents. Money's out there. You pick it up, it's yours. You don't, I got no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those sits tonight and close, CLOSE. It's yours. If not you're gonna be shining my shoes. And you know what you'll be saying - a bunch of losers sittin' around in a bar. 'Oh yeah. I used to be a salesman. It's a tough racket.' These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you they're gold, and you don't get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They're for closers. I'd wish you good luck but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it. And to answer you question, pal, why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to. They asked me for a favor. I said the real favor, follow my advice and fire your f**king ass because a loser is a loser.

From Malena(2000)

Renato Amoroso: I pedaled as fast as I could... as if I were escaping from longing, from innocence, from her. Time has passed, and I have loved many women. And as they've held me close... and asked if I will remember them I've said, "Yes, I will remember you." But the only one I've never forgotten is the one who never asked... Malena.

(Ahhh, there are so many good quotes and so little time to put them here)


Pulp Fiction (1994)

Mia: Don't you hate that?
Vincent: What?
Mia: Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullbleep in order to be comfortable?
Vincent: I don't know. That's a good question.
Mia: That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.


I love them sincerly .

These are some of the best...

"Ever seen a grown man naked"?

May he rest in peace.

Two of my favorites are from Yoda in Star Wars because they so well sum-up lessons I've tried to help others with that I mentor:

Quote

From Slumdog Millionaire (when Jamal is being 'questioned ' by the police suspected of cheating in the Indian gameshow who wants to be a millionaire)

Police Inspector: [whispering] Doctors... Lawyers... never get past 60 thousand rupees. He's won 10 million.
[pause]
Police Inspector: What the hell can a slumdog possibly know?
Jamal Malik: [quietly] The answers.
[spits out blood]
Jamal Malik: [quietly and gently] I knew the answers.
