Clint Eastwood's Do ya feel luck punk in Dirty Harry 1. Think it goes something like this:

"ah ah, I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five. Well to tell you the truth I've kind of lost count myself in all this excitement. So you've got to ask yourself a question, Do I feel lucky ... well do ya punk ?"

Gene Wilder in Blazing saddles

What did you expect? "Welcome sonny," "Make yourself at home," "Marry my daughter." You've got to remember, that these are just simple farmers, these are people of the land, the common clay of the new west. You know . . . morons.

Yeah, that dialogue was brilliant!

Kai · 28-09-2003 06:50PM

Obvious one:

Well, I gotta tell ya - I'd be very careful who I talk to about this. Because the person who wrote this is dangerous. And one day they could just snap. And then this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho, stalking from office to office with an Armalite AR-180 carbine gas-operated semi-automatic, pumping round after round into colleagues and coworkers. This could be someone you've known for years. Someone very close to you.

Ed nortons character in fight club. Loads of good ones in that film.

Not so Obvious :

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and its not okay because if they take my stapler then ill set the building on fire.

Milton Waddams in office space.

Have to agree with Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner, and with whoever mentioned Kevin Spacey in American Beauty - the last speech in particular, as the montage of images from his life passing by. Come to think of it, Wes Bentley's monologue about the plastic bag in the same film is a fantastic piece of dialogue as well.

For sheer shivers down your spine cinema, though, surely the "I am Maximus Decimus Meridian..." speech in Gladiator deserves a mention?

Makaveli · 28-09-2003 06:59PM

Alec Baldwin's Brass Balls speech in Glengarry GlenRoss deserves a mention.

tbh · 29-09-2003 06:18PM

Hows about Jay and Silent Bob?
ALL YOU MOTHER****ERS ARE GOING TO PAY!
YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE THE BALL-LICKERS!

Or:
We Came to Hollywood. I fell in love. ****in, we stole a monkey. And I got hit in the balls by some giys named cock-knocker!

Brodie: It's impossible, Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle his sperm? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun, right through her back. What about her womb, you think it's strong enough to carry his child?

TS: Sure, why not?

Brodie: He's an alien for Christssake. His Kryptonian biological makeup is enhanced by Earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonderwoman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a Kryptonite condom, but that would kill him

dennis hopper and christopher walken's from 'true romance' is a classic!!

jArgHA · 30-09-2003 07:08PM

Withnail & I has dozens of fantastic speeches. One of my favourites has to be Danny's summing up of the end of the 60's:

"If you are holding onto a rising balloon you are presented with a difficult political decission - let go while you've still got the chance or hold onto the rope and continue getting higher. That's politics man. We are at the end of an age. The greatest decade in the history of mankind is nearly over. They're selling hippy wigs in woolworths. It is 91 days to the end of the decade and as presuming ed here has so consistently pointed out, we have failed to paint it black. "- Danny

"Put the coffee down. Coffee is for closers only.":D

I was going to mention that one. I love that movie and often stick in the video just for that speech.

"Greed is good..." - Wallstreet

Most of Pulp Fiction

De Niros voice overs in Taxi Driver - " All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets. "

De Niro in Casino - " Running a casino is like robbing a bank with no cops around. For guys like me, Las Vegas washes away your sins. It's like a morality car wash."

i've finally watched blade runner again for the first time in 8 years, i most definitely have to agree on rutger hauers speech at the end.

donnie darko; "first of all, poppa smurf didn't create smurfette..."

Panda · 01-10-2003 12:54PM

Definatly Rutger Hauer in Blade Runner as an obvious one,
Marlon Brando had a few good lines in Apocalypse Now,

no ones mentioned Tony Montana's (pacinos) "You NEED people like me!!!" restaurant speech in Scarface.
theres a good few other speechs by his character in that film too....

motorbass · 01-10-2003 01:03PM

Roma: You stupid ****ing ****. You, Williamson, I'm talking to you ****head. You just cost me six thousand dollars. That's right. Six thousand dollars and one Cadillac. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it, asshole? You're ****ing ****! Where did you learn your trade you stupid ****ing ****, you idiot?! Whoever told you that you could work with men?! Oh, I'm gonna have your job. I'm going downtown, I'm talk to Mitch and Murray, I am going to Limkin! I don't care who you know, whose nephew you are or who's dick you're suckin on, you're going out! I swear to you, you're going out! Anyone in this office lives on his wits. (Roma looks over to the detective) I'm gonna be with you in a second. (looks back to Williamson (Kevin Spacey) What you are hired for is to help us. Does that seem clear to you? To help us, not to **** us up. To help men who are going out there to try to earn a living, you fairy, you company man. I'll tell you something else. I hope you ripped the joint off, I could tell our friend here a little something might help him to catch you.You wanna learn the first rule you'd know if you ever spent a day in your life? You never open your mouth till you know what the shot is. You ****ing child.

Pacino in Glengary Glenross

bandit · 01-10-2003 01:26PM

Cant believe nobody has mentioned Morgan Freemans monologue at the final parole hearing in Shawshank Redemption.

John Goodmans monologue about Donny in The big Lebowski is great too.

Theres far too many to mention in This is Spinal Tap but the 'none more black' one really sticks out in my memory.

And Kevin Smiths Chasing Amy speech in eh cant remember the name of the film....

BANZAI_RUNNER · 01-10-2003 02:58PM

Tim Robbibs, his "ones and zeros, dead or alive "speech in Antitrust

and lets not forget "first you get the women..."
classic flick, one of my top 10 in fact!

callmescratch · 02-10-2003 11:26AM

"i f**k arses,
who f**ks arses,
maybe he f**ks arses"
marwood

but of course it has to be
"Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've 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."
yes indeed, roy batty

Remember this by Cate Blanchett

It began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men who above all else, desire power. For within these rings, was bound the strength and will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made.
In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.

'One Ring to rule them all.'
One by one, free lands in Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor and on the slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth.
Victory was near. But the power of the ring could not be undone.
It was in this moment when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword. Sauron, the enemy of the free-peoples of Middle-Earth was defeated. The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever.

But the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the ring of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur to his death. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend, legend became myth and for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge. Until when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer.

The Ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there, it consumed him. The ring brought Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years, it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forest of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the east, whispers a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived. Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But something happened then the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable.
A Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.

For the time soon come when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all.

Colin farell's speach to that coffee girl at the start of intermission was most enjoyable

Independence day- president whitmores speach to the pilots.

"we will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight, we`re going to live on,we`re going to survive, today we celebrate our independence day"

CLASSIC

Elwood:
"It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, a half pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses"

Jake:
"Hit it"

(Blues Brothers natch, I also loved Jakes speech to his jilted bride before he lets her fall back into the mud)

Also Flash Gordon is just chock full of great lines like:

"Flash I love you, but we've only got 14 hours to save the earth"
(eh? what? if it was 12 hours would she not love him?)

"Find Flash Gordon and bring back his body"
(no I haven't fucked up the vB code, that's the way she says it. Class)

Not a film but an episode of the X-files where Mulder and Scully are pretending to be a couple in a nasty burb area inhabited by a monster that takes Resident association rules very seriously.

Mulder goes out to the lawn, plants a pink flamingo in the middle of it and says: "Bring it on".

It still makes me laugh

Billy Turdhed · 06-10-2003 10:42PM

I like most of the dialogue in " desperado"..

Two women are being thrown out of the bar and shout back at the bartenders
"and by the way your beer tastes like piss!

bartentenders" We know ! We piss in it'

Steve Buschemi orders a beer.. Bartender.. no beer i only got piss-warm chango
Buschemi.."Thats my brand"
