re: What's your favorite one liner/scene in a movie?

"Conan, what is best in life?'

" To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women."

In Seven Samurai, before the town is about to be attacked, when the townsman is talking to Gisaku about being worried about their women being had by the Samurai...


"What's the use of worrying about your beard when your head's about to be taken?"

Are you gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?

Surprised no one's mentioned any Braveheart lines. There are plenty of them:

The whole "They may take our lives" speech is pretty spectacular as is the "Freedom!" yell as he gets executed. I also like the line Hamish says when William pegs him between the eyes with a stone: "I should have remembered the rocks."

"Yes, it's true... This man has no dick." -Dr. Peter Venkman

For me, it's a scene early in Pulp Fiction. We've just been introduced to Jules and Vincent. Based on their dialogue, we know they are partners with close, personal history together. We know they are expecting significant violence once they enter an apartment where they lurk nearby in the hallways. But the audience is asked to wait for it, because the story requires that we see them as they are - engaging in routine guy talk.

But we know things are about to change when Jules finishes listening to Vincent talk about the meaning of a foot massage and transitions to the reason they are there when he states, "That's an interesting point. Come on, let's get into character"

That movie line which signals that it's just a character you're portraying has helped me coach myself into getting outside my comfort zone when I recognized the need to show other people a different personality.

It's amazing how movie lines can do that.

Mozart: Forgive me, Majesty. I am a vulgar man! But I assure you, my music is not.

John Merrick: I am not an animal! I am a human being!

Yeah, I have a self-image problem.

"They may take our lives. But they'll never take our freedom!!!"

"The jig is up."

"And gone!"
