Here’s a little montage of some unforgettable movie quotations.
Garden State
“OK, so… so… sometimes I lie. I mean, I’m weird, man. About random stuff too, I don’t even know why I do it. It’s like… it’s like a tick, I mean sometimes I hear myself say something and think, Wow, that wasn’t even remotely true.”
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Javier Bardem and Scarlett Johansson in Vicky Cristina Barcelona
“The trick is to enjoy life, accepting it has no meaning whatsoever.”
Stand By Me
“OK. You guys can go round if you want. I’m crossing here. And while you guys are dragging your candy-asses half way across the state and back I’ll be waiting for you on the other side, relaxing with my thoughts.”
Before Sunrise
Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke in Before Sunrise
“You know what drives me crazy? It’s all these people talking about how great technology is, and how it saves all this time. But, what good is saved time, if nobody uses it? If it just turns into more busy work. You never hear somebody say, “With the time I’ve saved by using my word processor, I’m gonna go to a Zen monastery and hang out”. I mean, you never hear that.”
Almost Famous
“Jim Morrison is a drunken buffoon posing as a poet. Give me the Guess Who. They have the courage to be drunken buffoons, which makes them poetic.”
“The only true currency in this bankrupt world… is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool.”
Dazed and Confused
Dazed and Confused
“Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man.”
Sex and the City
Sarah Jessica Parker turns heads in Sex and the City
“Forever mine, forever thine, forever ours.” (I fully understand that this line did not originate from the movie.)
Gone With the Wind
“I’m very drunk and I intend on getting still drunker before this evening’s over.”
“I can’t think about that right now. If I do, I’ll go crazy. I’ll think about that tomorrow.”
Milk
“If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.”
Annie Hall
Diane Keaton and Woody Allen in Annie Hall
“After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I… I realized what a terrific person she was, and… and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I… I, I thought of that old joke, y’know, the, this… this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, “Doc, uh, my brother’s crazy; he thinks he’s a chicken.” And, uh, the doctor says, “Well, why don’t you turn him in?” The guy says, “I would, but I need the eggs.” Well, I guess that’s pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y’know, they’re totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and… but, uh, I guess we keep goin’ through it because, uh, most of us… need the eggs.”
Elizabethtown
Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst in Elizabethtown
“Because we have a moment here, let me tell you that I have recently become a secret connoisseur of ‘last looks’. You know the way people look at you when they believe it’s for the last time? I’ve started collecting these looks.”
Into the Wild
Emile Hirsch ponders materialism in Into the Wild
“Happiness only real when shared.”
“Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness… give me truth.”
