"You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow."

Slim (Lauren Bacall) to Steve (Humphrey Bogart) in To Have and Have Not (1944)
And so was a great romance born

JOHN: "Not the wheel!"

JEWELLER: "Even the Royal House of Hanover had the wheel, sir."

Help!

Makes me chuckle every time. No idea why.

All from my favourite film Indiscreet(1958):

Alfred: There is no sincerity like a woman telling a lie.
(Cecil Parker)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alfred: You know, I'm too old for this sort of evening, I always was!
(Cecil Parker)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anna: How dare he make love to me and not be a married man!
(Ingrid Bergman)

Snatch (2000)

Bricktop:

Do you know what "nemesis" means?
"A righteous infliction of retribution...
...manifested by an appropriate agent."
Personified, in this case, by a horrible c**t:
Me.

Hang on a minute, lads.
I've got a great idea.

A few of my favourite quotes from horror movies:

"I shall not be back... but something will. Tonight!" - Charles Gray delivers my favourite line from a horror film in THE DEVIL RIDES OUT.

"Now, I've heard you. I want you to hear me: I *never* want to see you again."
"You'll see me in *hell*, Mr. Thorn. There, we will both share out our sentence." - one of my favourite scenes in THE OMEN.

"The boy has got to die!" - William Holden in DAMIEN: OMEN II

"It's a COOK BOOK!!!" - That episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

"You may have fooled them, Michael, but you haven't fooled me!" - Donald Pleasence confronts a young Michael Myers in a deleted hospital scene (now restored) in HALLOWEEN.

"You don't know what DEATH IS!!!" - Donald Pleasence opens HALLOWEEN II with a great line.

"I ... do ... NOT ... believe." - Peter Wyngarde in NIGHT OF THE EAGLE.

"I know the supernatural is something that isn't supposed to happen, but it does happen." - Richard Johnson in THE HAUNTING.

"I am Dracula and I welcome you to my house.." - Christopher Lee in DRACULA.

"Have you checked the children?" - A very scary line from the original WHEN A STRANGER CALLS.

"Welcome to my house, Mister Harker. Come freely. Go safely." - Louis Jourdan in COUNT DRACULA (tv)

"Eat it till ya choke, you sick ... twisted ... fuck!" - James Caan gets it out of his system in MISERY.

"Shut up, you ugly beatch!" - Gregory Peck as Joseph Mengele in THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL.

"Look at the gas, that man's lighting a cigar!" - Smoking can be bad for your health in THE BIRDS.

"Why don't we just wait here for a little while... see what happens..." - Kurt Russell at the end of THE THING.

"Listen to them, children of the night. What music they make." - Bela Lugosi comments on the howling wolves in DRACULA.

"Wendy ... W-E-N-D-Y ... give me the bat." - Jack Nicholson menaces Shelley Duval on the stairs in THE SHINING.

"Count my ... lucky ... lucky ... stars." - Sigourney Weaver gets ready to blast the ALIEN out of the air lock.

"I don't think it would be too amusing for the youngsters if I conjured up a demon from hell for them." - Niall MacGinnis in NIGHT OF THE DEMON.

"But you *are*, Blanche! You *are* in that chair!" - Bette Davis taunts Joan Crawford in WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?

The opening scenes where the Nostromo and crew come to life is one of my favourite cinematic moments. The desolate music really set the scene for the film.

only just found this thread but that classic riposte puts me in mind of Margot from the good life. Must be worth a watch just for that line alone

The Long Good Friday (1980)

There are so many from this movie (which I love ) I could choose so here are a few of my favs....

Harold: What I'm looking for is someone who can contribute to what England has given to the world: culture, sophistication, genius. A little bit more than an 'ot dog, know what I mean?

Erroll: Well, he don't like Colin. I mean, queers get right up his hooter, you know?
Harold: After what happened this morning, you'd have to find his hooter to get up it.
Erroll: Is something up with him, then?
Harold: Well, let's put it this way. Apart from his as***** being about fifty yards away from his brains, and the choirboys playing "'unt the thimble" with the rest of him, he ain't too happy.

Pool Attendant: To kept it all incognito. They're gonna collect the body in an ice cream van.
Harold: There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple.

Harold: Who's having a go at me? Can you think of anyone who might have an old score to settle or something?
Razors: Who's big enough to take you on?
Harold: Well, there were a few.
Razors: Like who?
Harold: Yeah, they're all dead.

Harold: For more than ten years there's been peace - everyone to his own patch. We've all had it sweet. I've done every single one of you favours in the past - I've put money in all your pockets. I've treated you well, even when you was out of order, right? Well now there's been an eruption. It's like f****ing' Belfast on a bad night. One of my closest friends is lyin' out there in the freezer. And believe me, all of you, nobody goes home until I find out who done it, and why.

Priceless.
