  • cl2yp71c, on 11/11/2007, -0/+10My favorite is still "You talkin' to me‽" in that mafioso accent
  • TH3W1R3D, on 11/11/2007, -1/+11Yeah but its used soooo commonly with the accent.
  • mannymix03, on 11/11/2007, -0/+9"Did you get the memo"

  • karmakanic, on 11/11/2007, -1/+10Technically true, except that in this case it's ALWAYS said with an Austrian accent.
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -1/+9Interesting. I never gave it much thought, but you are right, they are catchy phrases. I don't know if this phrase came from the movies, but 24/7 is kind of getting on my nerves. :-)
  • iFungus, on 11/11/2007, -0/+8Its strange to give a computer a gender, but I'm pretty sure HAL is a guy.
  • elfprince13, on 11/11/2007, -0/+8I have a bbbaadddd feeling about this.

    or

    Never tell me the odds
  • cleric85, on 11/11/2007, -0/+8My most used lines are "Spared no expense." "Shoot her!" and "Clever Girl." -Jurassic Park
    Each one comes in handy more than you would think.
  • Pake, on 11/10/2007, -0/+8I was thinking the same exact thing. 10th should be something like "You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order!" from "And Justice for All" or Scarface's "Say hello to my little friend."
  • ngnboone, on 11/11/2007, -2/+10I f*cking hate it when people quote movies.
    I almost went insane while Napoleon Dynamite was popular

  • schavira, on 11/10/2007, -2/+98 year olds, dude.
  • fadeout, on 11/11/2007, -1/+8Obviously you're not a golfer.

    or

    Nice marmot.
  • Ploppyplop, on 11/11/2007, -1/+8I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse.
  • ChromaVita, on 11/11/2007, -0/+6No way, the best Jurrassic park quote is something to the effect of "Hold perfectly still! Her vision is based on movement". I use it all the time. Teachers love it.
  • alkazar82, on 11/10/2007, -2/+8"I'll be back" is so common. You can't really claim that 'The Terminator' invented the line.
  • cleric85, on 11/11/2007, -0/+6Shut the ***** up Donnie!
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -0/+6"When you yell at me I get scared and when ***** get scared, that's when ***** get accidentally shot."
  • pilot3033, on 11/10/2007, -0/+5I just wanna say... good luck, we're all counting on you.
  • melic, on 11/11/2007, -0/+5"Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"
  • rabidg00se, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4INTERROBANG
  • Ireland, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4"GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY."
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4What about Ghostbusters? Seriously, it's got a memorable quote for every occasion.

    Someone suggests something crazy? "This reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head, remember that?" "That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me."

    Looking for a job? "If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe in anything you say."

    Trying to avoid someone? "There is no Dana, only Zuul!"

    And of course the classic "Yes it's true, this man has no dick."
  • shadyrudy, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4Mark it Zero!
  • jamdogg, on 11/11/2007, -1/+5Hey freddie, I'm just going out to get some lunch I'LL BE BACK at half past.
  • xtc46, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4There is a restaurant near a clients office named Spata. One day a co-worker and I were invited to have lunch with their CEO and he picked the place. It took everything I had (and a lot of dirty looks and discouragement from my co-worker) not to stand proud and scream "this is SPATA" and kick that CEO right in the chest.
  • karmakanic, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4If you want to get laid:

    "You make me want to be a better man"
  • inactive, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4That's not true... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!
  • markdall, on 11/11/2007, -3/+7"I'll be back" is NOT a "Terminator" line. Arnold uses it in many movies. For example, the best comeback ever is when he says it to Richard Dawson in The Running Man, and Richard Dawson looks down at him, leans in, and says, "Only in a re-run.".

    Now git off my lawn.
  • f4nt0m4s, on 11/11/2007, -0/+4I gotta say, Schwarzenegger was a bigger badass when he was the bad guy.
