If you love films and the one liners stick in your head, go on share them here...... "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."......
Ps and yes I got my inspiration from...Bella, Great songs/Great lyrics .....so what!! .....pps I have been thinking about doing this for along time, so here goes!!
Dave: Today I threatened to shoot a naked woman with my erection.
Wally: These streets are bumpy.
Dave: You're driving on the sidewalk!
All from See no evil Hear no evil
There are two types of people:
those that talk the talk and those that walk the walk. People who walk the walk sometimes talk the talk but most times they don't talk at all, 'cause they walkin'. Now, people who talk the talk, when it comes time for them to walk the walk, you know what they do? They talk people like me into walkin' for them.
Just heard on the news that former **** star Shirley Temple has died at 85. There goes another one from the vintage years of Hollywood. R.I.P. Shirley xxx

Carole Lombard to Bing Crosby: "With the whole of the Pacific Ocean to swim in, I have to bump into you."

Thelma Ritter in "Pillow Talk" (1959)
"They're gonna take off my leg."
Susan Hayward as Jane Froman in "With A Song In My Heart" (1952)
"Teach Bilko to play cards?"

Wilfred Hyde-White to Hattie Jacques: "Come come, matron, surely you've seen a temperature taken like this before?"

been decided if it was murder or suicide.)
(This film probably has the first nude scene in a British film in a shower scene, long before nudity was acceptable. You only really see Leslie Phillips's bum, it is very tame now but must have shocked some people back in those more prudish times.)

A little quiz question for you. What was the title of the 1945 remake of "Grand Hotel" starring Ginger Rogers? I know the answer so I'm not asking you to tell ME, I want to see if any of you know as well!!!!
And of cause that immortal line from Casablanca "Play it again Sam" was not said .
Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By."
Sam: Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum...
Ilsa: Sing it, Sam.
What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!
One of the most oft-quoted one-liners is actually a mis-quote. Ingrid Bergman never said: "Play it again, Sam" in "Casablanca" (1941). She came close and did say "Play it, Sam" but the "again" word was never mentioned.
Same as James Cagney's alleged quote "You Dirty Rat" which he never said at all in any of his films.
"Fasten your seat belts, its going to be a bumpy night."
Bette Davis in "All About Eve" (1950)
"Let's not reach for the moon, we have the stars."
Bette Davis in "Now, Voyager" (1942)
"This is the stuff that dreams are made of."
Humphrey Bogart in "The Maltese Falcon" (1941)
"Don't worry, sweetheart, as long as there are pavements, you'll ALWAYS have a job."
Joan Blondell in "Footlight Parade" (1933)
"The only time she said no, she didn't hear the question."
Can't remember the name of the actor who said this but it was made to Ginger Rogers in her role as Anytime Annie in "42nd Street" (1933)
Wally: These streets are bumpy.
Dave: You're driving on the sidewalk!

"It doesn't matter what you know only what you can prove"
There are many lines I love from that film.
Denzel finally got his best actor Oscar

We've come on holiday by mistake.
If they move, kill 'em.
You couldn't win an egg a spoon race, Eric. Step away from the car, or I'll blow you apart.
If they had'nt a done what I told 'em not to do they'd still be alive.
Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. This... Is my BOOMstick!
Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand things with alloys and compositions and things with... Molecular structures.
