Well, this is just begging for more, so how about:

"Gentlemen! You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"

Dr. Strangelove

(BTW, we recently watched American Gangster on PPV. It's hard to see how an additional hour or so could have improved it. I've noticed before that "director's cuts" seem to detract from the screen version. The Exorcist stands out, for one.)

Larry Van Guilder

Dr. Strangelove is my all time favorite movie, and that's my favorite line.

(The Purity of Essence scene ranks right up there, though.)

Since we're doing great movie lines, we used to have a game on SKB of "name the movie from this quote."

Here's one:

"Dying ain't much of a living, boy."

Impressive, Bill!

Speaking of Eastwood movies:

"I heard that one myself, Bob. Hell, I even thought I was dead 'til I found out it was just that I was in Nebraska."

Larry Van Guilder

Rachel - a hint? (I'm stumped.)

Larry Van Guilder

OK, Rachel has me stumped, but it rings a bell, like it's from a movie I have just seen recently...

Maybe this will be an easier one:

"I AM the mother#$%@#!& shore patrol!"

Last Detail

Bingo!

I'm gonna kill you, Judas Iscariot Hogwallop!

I was not hit by a train. Damnit, I am the paterfamilias!

O' Brother Where Art Thou

Unforgiven - the best "modern" western.

Larry Van Guilder

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It's the smell of victory".

"I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture, and kill them."

Coen quotes:

"Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!"

"If I'd known we were gonna cast our feelings into words, I'd've memorized the Song of Solomon."

"It starts when you begin to overlook bad manners. Anytime you quit hearing "sir" and "ma'am", the end is pretty much in sight."

"I tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn't easy with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House. I dunno. They say he's a decent man, so maybe his advisors are confused."

"Finally there would be a thingamajig that would bring everyone together, even if it kept them apart spatially."

"Its when I can't write I can't escape myself, I want to rip my head off and run screaming down the street with my balls in a fruit pickers pail."

"And I guess that was your accomplice in the woodchipper."

"He told them to look not at the facts, but at the meaning of the facts. Then he said the facts had no meaning."

"If you point a gun at someone, you'd better make sure you shoot him, and if you shoot him you'd better make sure he's dead, because if he isn't then he's gonna get up and try to kill you."
