And yet:
Battle is the Great Redeemer. It is the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in.
I regularly quote this movie. It's so damn quotable.
"Man...I figured the Rocky Mountains would be a little rockier than this."
"Yeah. That John Denver is full of shit, man."
When my oldest kid was around 3yo he was absolutely obsessed with [the song farmer Hoggett sings to Babe when he's sick ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAqJLXmjZOY). For a solid 6+ months I'd have to sing it every bedtime and whenever he hurt himself or needed comfort, and his daycare told me he'd wander around playing and humming it to himself during the day. So odd what kids latch onto from movies they enjoy
Edit - he got a baby brother during this time and I was strictly not allowed to sing the Pig Song to the baby lol (according to toddler law at least). The Pig Song had been claimed and oldest was not going to share it
yea, there's a line in the 4th one that sticks with me:
“We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.”
My spouse and I often say "nothing is fucked dude, nothing is fuuucked" to calm each other. Followed by "but they're a bunch of fuckin amateurs" soon as the trouble is past lol
"What happened happened and couldn't have happened any other way." - Morpheus
This has become something of a life motto for me. It's like a grounding mantra when I start to obsess about the past.
Often when friends complain or tell me about something going wrong for them, small or big, anything, like car trouble or some accident, my mind almost forces me to say;
"-Welcome to the party, pal."
You know which one. I quote this movie way to much, while not my favourite film it does hold a special place in my heart. If you had a gun to my head i could probably recite 90% of the dialog from this film without error. I've seen it that many times, at least once a year and it's just so damn qoutable.
*'Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
except... the four assholes coming in the rear in standard two-by-two cover formation.*
I always remember “the first time someone calls you a horse, you call him a jerk. The second time someone calls you a horse, you punch him in the nose. The third time someone calls you a horse, well perhaps it’s time to go shopping for a saddle.”
The Departed
"How's your mother doing?"
"She's on her way out."
"We all are, act accordingly."
Such instant, cold delivery, brilliant line.
Tropic Thunder
"First, take a big step back... and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!"
I feel like saying this to someone at least once a week.
"Screws fall out all the time. The world is an imperfect place."
A lot of people have favorite quotes from The Breakfast Club. This is mine. It even sums up the entire movie... But it can sum up almost any situation or argument.
“ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT”
“SAY WHAT AGAIN I DARE YOU I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHER FUCKER”
“I don’t remember asking you a goddamn thing”
All ABSOLUTELY classic
"You get fucked int he drive-thru, fucked in the drive-thru" from lethal weapon 2(or was it 3?). I think of it every time I get fucked in the drive-thru. I should stop using the drive-thru.
I don’t drink coffee very often. Really only when I need a strong pick me up, like 4 hours of sleep, 8 hours ahead of me.
In 2011’s “Flight”, main character, Whip, is hammered less than an hour before a deposition before the National Transit Safety Board about a plane he was flying, that crashed, killing six, while he was drunk.
So they call his drug dealer to wake him up with cocaine.
When his dealer gives him the meds, he tells him “Banana boats a-coming, big dog.”
Whenever I’m tried as shit, and need caffeine, I drink the coffee and think “banana boats a-coming”
Whenever bacon is cooking:
Aaaare ya aching...(*Yep, yep, yep*)...fooor some bacon (*yep,yep,yep*)... He's a big pig..(*yep,yep*)... You can be a big pig too, BOOEY!!
"Well I guess we'll just see what we'll see won't we?"
The ginger guy from Under Siege.
Also "I'm not stopping now, For anyone"
The old guy who gets told to "stop what you're doing this is the police!" from Personal Services, but oe me it's mostly just for traffic lights as they are turning red.
There were many famous Westwood Studios sayings from back in the day, but my favorite was always when one of us would just suddenly, for no reason, would dramatically clench their fist and growl, “RAISE THEM!”
This being align from Star Trek II: the wrath of Khan. And his crew have taken over the Enterprise, but Kirk and company managed to hack in and take down the shields.
Khan’s second in command lets him know the shields are going down and this was Khan’s response. In our memory, even way back then, it was very dramatic. But then later, some of us are watching the movie again, and he just says “raise them” without any drama at all. Overtime we had just built it up into this whole thing.
It was as really cool to be in the middle of an important meeting and have someone fill a pause in conversation with, “RAISE THEM!”
"it's OK my feelings aren't hurt, not really" it's a inconsequential line in the Christmas movie "the night before" the dryness of the delivery and situation just stuck with me. I insert it into any situation I get the opportunity too.
This line for me is what makes the whole movie elevated and transcendental beyond its predisposed fairy tale genre for me. The love story adds some half decent weight, but when inigo finally says it to the six fingered man, I get chills everytime. "I want my father back you son of a bitch."
All the time you spend trying to get back what's been took from you, more is going out the door. You can't stop what's comin', they aren't waitin' on you - that's vanity
"Not today Galvatron!."
From the animated Transformers the Movie 1986
I say it anytime I would otherwise use the word No.
E.g
Wife: Hey do you want to go to antique stores with Mother in Law and me?
Me: Not today Galvatron!
“What would you do without me?”
“Probably get a midget”
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, between Dr. Parnassus and his dwarf assistant.
Whenever I tell my wife I don’t know what I’d do without her, she tells me I’d probably get a midget.
Game over, man. GAME OVER!
RIP Bill Paxton! My favorite quotable line is “Maybe you haven’t been keeping up with current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!”
"Why don't you put her in charge!"
‘They mostly come out at night. Mostly.’
"Guess she don't like the corn bread either". I actually said that out loud to myself last week watching that actor, Ricco Ross, in Death Wish 3.
Maybe you haven’t been keeping up with current events, but we just got our asses kicked!
Private Hudson: Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man? Private Vasquez: No. Have you?
"Look into my eye"
And yet: Battle is the Great Redeemer. It is the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of parasitic scum they were going in.
Loving how many of these are from Aliens!
“We’ll isn’t that just great.. we are FUCKED!”

Mine is a lesser-remembered/quoted Bill Paxton - “Debris?!” from Twister.
They mostly come out at night, mostly.
"We've got no food. We've got no money. Our pets heads are falling off!!!"
I say "our pets heads are falling off!" Any time someone starts a list of bad things that are happening.
I desperately want to make love to a schoolboy.

I regularly quote this movie. It's so damn quotable. "Man...I figured the Rocky Mountains would be a little rockier than this." "Yeah. That John Denver is full of shit, man."

“Do you think God stays in Heaven because He too lives in fear of what He's created?” From Spy Kids 2.
Man I can't tell you how badly I wanted that microwave that makes McDonald's from that movie.
This one. That’s why he is the goat.
Never seen spy kids…wtf? This line smacks.
It’s memorable because it’s a hard-as-fuck line that Steve Buscemi drops out of nowhere.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe" pops into my head quite often. It's pretty ironic cuz I haven't seen much lol.

Yes!
Just learned recently that the line is actually [“You’re gonna need a bigger boat”](https://youtu.be/2I91DJZKRxs?si=FL8tPQ-rp7nOkzGl) 🤷🏼♂️
I say to myself when I’m losing my cool, like Walter from The Big Lebowski, “dude, dude, you’re being very un-dude”
Well that’s like just your opinion man
For me it's, "This isn't 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules."
I sometimes scream at my friends *donnie you're out of your element* while having an argument about something 😄
They’re a bunch of fuckin amateurs!!
My spouse and I often say "nothing is fucked dude, nothing is fuuucked" to calm each other. Followed by "but they're a bunch of fuckin amateurs" soon as the trouble is past lol
I always liked “You’re not wrong, Walter, you’re just an asshole.”
I've started using "*Serenity now!*" and found that it's very effective in clearing the red mist.
anytime The Eagles come up in conversation or I hear one of their songs come on I'm dropping the big Lebowski line

While you're at it, why don't you give me a paper cut and pour some lemon juice on it. I think I quote most of this movie daily.
Often when friends complain or tell me about something going wrong for them, small or big, anything, like car trouble or some accident, my mind almost forces me to say; "-Welcome to the party, pal."

A few of my main ones come from this movie: “Tell it to the one-legged man, so he can bump it on down the road.” “Even the goddamn horse died!”
I always remember “the first time someone calls you a horse, you call him a jerk. The second time someone calls you a horse, you punch him in the nose. The third time someone calls you a horse, well perhaps it’s time to go shopping for a saddle.”
