I am sitting here thinking about my favorite movie, Almost Famous, and how many great lines in the film that I love and was wondering what other people consider their favorite lines in a movie.

I have many favorite lines, but I really enjoy this conversation in the movie. William is a 15 year old writer that is travelling with an up and coming band. Here he is getting advice from writer Lester Bangs after coming to the end of the tour. Here's the quote from IMDB:

Lester Bangs: Aw, man. You made friends with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong.
William Miller: Well, it was fun.
Lester Bangs: They make you feel cool. And hey. I met you. You are not cool.
William Miller: I know. Even when I thought I was, I knew I wasn't.
Lester Bangs: That's because we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we're smarter.
William Miller: I can really see that now.
Lester Bangs: Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... and let's face it, you got a big head start.
William Miller: I'm glad you were home.
Lester Bangs: I'm always home. I'm uncool.
William Miller: Me too!
Lester Bangs: The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool.
William Miller: I feel better.
Lester Bangs: My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them? Be honest, and unmerciful.

    "Pig pen if I want advice on a good planet of the apes film or maybe how to clean the resin out of my bong I'll ask you. But I'm not going to take romantic advice from somebody who can't spell romantic or advice........or bong!"

    BioDome:

    "Remember the great fire of 89 when a chipmunk ingested some fertilizer then fell into a can of kerosene instantly turning it into a flying little fluffy littel molotov cocktail setting ablaze leveling the neigborhood west of Newtons hardware store?"

    I always forget about Out Cold! You can't forget about the prank with the spinning car! As I read the BioDome quote I could clearly visualize Stephen Baldwin delivering that line! (I think it was him, if not I need to re-watch it)

    Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
