Favorite movie quotes

I am not one for retaining movie lines word for word like others.  The last time I was able to recite a movie line for line was Pretty Woman, and I was 15 years old.  But I enjoy others who have this ability to retain what others may see as useless information.  I have a friend who can recite Monty Python, Fletch, and Airplane movie lines as if she watched the movie a few minutes ago.

But for all the inability to retain such knowledge, there are a few lines I will retain.  One liners, really.  Out of context the average listener would not understand the reference. Once explained, they may still scratch their head in wonder of why I retained that one line out of so many others...For all it is worth, here is a list of movie quotes I can refer.

Gone with the Wind
Rhett Butler:
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
     ------------------
Scarlett O'Hara:
After all, tomorrow is another day.

National Lampoon's European Vacation
Clark Griswold:
Look kids, Big Ben!

A Bronx Tale
Lorenzo Anello: 
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent

Pulp Fiction
Jules:
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

Pretty Woman
Vivien:
Well color me happy!  There's a sofa in here for two!
     ------------------ 
Vivian:
Oh honey.  You know what's happened?  I have a runner in my panty hose...I'm not wearing panty hose!

Best in Show
Gerry Fleck:
I can't dance, I can't dance, I've got two left feet!
Cookie Fleck:
I thought he was kidding.
Gerry Fleck:
But I wasn't. I was born with two left feet.
      ------------------
Sherri Ann Cabot:
Leslie and I have an amazing relationship and it's very physical, he still pushes all my buttons. People say 'oh but he's so much older than you' and you know what, I'm the one having to push him away. We have so much in common, we both love soup and snow peas, we love the outdoors, and talking and not talking. We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about. 
     ------------------
Gerry Fleck:
Well you must be very "proud Mary".
Scott Donlan:
Oh my goodness. Who are you all of a sudden?
Stefan Vanderhoof:
Good baby boomer gag.
Cookie Fleck:
Who's that in the burgundy jacket? Mr Hip.

The Hangover
Officer Franklin:
Not you fat Jesus, slide it on back.

Back to the Future
Marty McFly:
Whoa, this is heavy.
Dr. Emmett Brown:
There's that word again; "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?
      ------------------
Dr. Emmett Brown:
Then tell me, "Future Boy", who's President in the United States in 1985?
Marty McFly:
Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Emmett Brown:
Ronald Reagan? The actor?
Dr. Emmett Brown:
Then who's VICE-President? Jerry Lewis?  I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!


The Devil Wears Prada
Emily:
Andrea, my God! You look so chic.
Andy Sachs:
Oh, thanks. You look so thin.
Emily:
Really? It's for Paris, I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
Holly Golightly:
Promise me one thing: don't take me home until I'm drunk - very drunk indeed.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Sloane:
The city looks so peaceful from up here.
Ferris:
Anything is peaceful from one thousand, three hundred and fifty-three feet.
Cameron:
I think I see my dad.
      ------------------
Economics Teacher:
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Simone:
Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. 
     ------------------
Grace:
Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
      ------------------
Ferris:
Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work. 

A League of Their Own
Jimmy Dugan:
There's no crying in baseball!!

Airplane!
Striker:
Surely you can't be serious!
Rumack:
I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

Fight Club
Tyler Durden 
The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is - you DO NOT talk about Fight Club.

Ghost
Sam:  
Ditto
