What are your favourite movie one-liners?
Just saw this movie again the other night; it’s such a good movie!
“I coulda been a contender, I coulda been somebody.”
Marlon Brando in “On the Waterfront” (1954)

“And this has proved something I’ve always suspected ... that vanity and happiness are incompatible.”
Dangerous Liaisons (1988)
“Bond, James Bond.”
“I’ll be back.”
Chief Gillespie: “I got the motive which is money and the body which is dead.’ In the Heat of the Night
“When someone asks you if you are a god, you say yes!”
“When someone asks you if you are a god, you say yes!”
This one is in contention for the top rated one liners.
I’m waiting to hear others
Tanner’s best line in the Bad News Bears, and perhaps in all of the sports movie genre, but arguably the second best after, “Hey, Yankees!” At practice, coach was told the team took a vote and decided to quit the season after an embarrassing first game loss. Coach asked what happened to Tanner and was told he was beat up by the entire 7th Grade for defending his honor. Coach asked Tanner if he wanted to quit. “Hell, no. I want to play ball.”
I don’t know which is more embarrassing…the fact that my nickname playing ball as a kid was Tanner or that it was still my nickname playing ball as an adult.
My favourite Tanner line follows the “Hey Yankees” business. “You can take your apology and your trophy and shove ‘em straight up your ass!”
Then they all drink the beer that Walter Matthau bought for the unruly minors.

Not Tanner. He chucked his beer at the Yankees after cursing them out.
That was Lupus throwing the second place trophy. Then they mostly poured the beer over each other.
And there’s this memorable moment from Breaking Training. I always chant this when threads get derailed.

I stand corrected.
Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges.
That’s okay, we can walk to the curb from here.
Open the Pod bay doors, HAL.
Fava beans and a nice Chianti
