Cool to read about your favorite movies, But now lets hear some of your favorite lines from those movies. Bill " Don't call me Shirley"
 
The Great Escape; "Oh you still be here when I get out??"
America Graffiti; "Rome wasn't burnt in a night!"
 
My vote for the best line in history does not come from the movies.

It comes from the TV show WKRP in Cincinnati.

Carlson the radio station manager comes up with a plan to give away turkeys at thanksgiving by throwing them from the traffic helicopter to people below.
His line after the epic disaster;

"As God as my witness I thought turkeys could fly"
 
were going to need a bigger boat!--- badges we don't need no stinking badges --- heres looking at you kid
 
"Get off my lawn!" Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. Another Jack Nicholson one comes up in conversation, "You can't handle the truth". (A Few Good Men).
 
"You see in this world there's 2 kinds of people my friend, those with loaded guns, and those who dig, you dig"
 
I like the "we have a failure to communicate" line as well. From "the Guns of Will Sonnet"; "No brag...Just Fact" is wise. But to me the Bugs Bunny and all his friends cartoons are loaded with good lines. They even have some messages to the crew or their friends like Yosemite Sam looks to the audience and says "You notice how I didn't call him Richard?". I wonder what that is all about.
 
Sheriff Buford T. Justice in Smoky and the Bandit: "Junior, you cannot possibly be from my loins. When we get home, I'm gonna smack your mama right in the mouth!"
 
White Squall:
"They didn't take his ticket today. But I wonder if he'll ever go to sea
again. I know one thing. If he did, we'd all go with him. To a man. No
doubt, not even a question. Today, he joined the circle he create by
allowing us to share his burden. The burden of sea captains, and fathers,
the burden of men. In the end it just comes down to one thing, you can't
run from the wind. You face the music, you trim your sails, and keep
going."
 
From Spaceballs, Yogurt, I hate yogurt, even with strawberries on top, or at the end of the movie, Ape says, Spaceballs...oh s**t there goes the planet.
 
Great one, Billy.

I was goinig to post this but decided to read the earlier posts first to see if anyone had.

I love the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns.

Burt Lancaster, playing a cavalry Colonel in the movie, "The Hallelujah Trail"'

"Give a woman an acorn and next thing you know you're up to your rump in oak trees".
 
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned four of the most recognizable lines from cinema history, three from Casablanca and one from Gone With The Wind: Play it, Sam; Here's lookin' at you, kid; and We'll always have Paris from Casablanca and the earth shaking line from Clark Gable in Gone With The Wind, Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

That said, I guess that those lines should be classified as most recognizable rather than favorite as solicited by the OP. I digress.

Here is one of my most favorite lines from near the end of my most favorite movie, American Graffiti.

Milner says to Toad: "He was beatin' me, man."

Milner was not commenting about a drag race but rather the end of an era. To appreciate this it helps if you had been there.

BTDT.

?Hard to put much faith in a leaky vessel?
?What?s good for me ain?t necessarily good for the weak minded?
After refusing to have his leg amputated Gus says ?I may still want to kick a pig?
All from Lonesome Dove
 
Love it, CGID!

The line (or a parody of the line) was also used by Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles, which was, of course, a parody of Hollywood western movies.

Well I read all the lines below-no one had one of my favorites-from Quigley Down Under. About being skilled with a pistol "I said I never had much use for one,I never said I didn't know how to use one!" Mark.
 
from the same movie "Where is the white womens at" My wife is white, I have 3 adopted daughters ( one Hispanic from Guatemala, and 2 black daughters from Ethiopia. ) ( three boys from Guatemala as well ) We all laugh at that line.

Hello Hoofer B,

Eddy Murphy IN 24 HRS? I am your worst nightmare a..... with a badge!

That line is parodied a lot. But should you ever use it, be careful. I was approaching Minneapolis from a new direction, and mentioned to my sister I was unsure of how to get to our destination. We were at a gas station then and she suggested I buy a map, creating a perfect opportunity to use that line. So I did - "Maps?!! We don't need no stink'n maps!" I really laid it on. Buy their expressions, either her nor anyone else near us had heard that line before. It didn't go over very well.
 
From "The Appaloosa", Marlon Brando.
"I don't know who you are mister, but you ever point a gun at me again you better use it.'

To a priest in confession:
"I killed a lot of men and took a lot of women. But the men I killed needed killin' and the women I took needed takin'"

From Dazed and confused I came here to do 2 things..drink some beer and kick some azz and were about out of beer.

You need to wash your hand after the weekly cross burning.
Darn never lost a 400 dollar hand cart.
 
Diamonds are Forever

Sean Connery (007) is in bed with Jill St John who has bright red hair, and Connery looks at her hair, and then looks down towards the bottom of the bed and says.... "My dear, you know it's not proper etiquette when the cuffs and collar don't match"
 
"Gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper and make it snappy cause I'm in a g*****n hurry" -- Sheriff Buford T. Justice, Smokey and the Bandit
 
"Miss...............They are not strangers. And they stay as they lay!"

"You call yourself a patriot and a loyal subject of the crown?!!"..................."I don't call myself subject to much of anything".

"You be doin' what you want with your life and don't be telling us what to be doin' with ours".

"How is it that all of our scouts are up north fighting the French and you are heading west?" "I face north and turn left real sudden-like. Clear it up some? I ain't your scout and I sure as h@@l ain't in no da&&ed militia!"

Last of the Mohicans.

The towns people are yelling for the doctor after Liberty Valance is shot.
