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.

    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!

    My absolute favorite scene I think in a movie is from PS I Love You

    Denise: [admiring ted as he walks by] Oh, he's delicious isn't he?! I'd serve coffee on that @$$!
    John: Do you have to be so vulgar about men? Like they're pieces of meat?
    Denise: I'm sorry John. I forgot you're sensitive about your flat @ss.
    John: You know Denise, that's why you're not married. Women act like men and then they complain men don't want them.
    Denise: Oh, is that why? 'Cause I thought it was cause I deserved the best and he's out there. He's just with all the wrong women. And let me be clear; after CENTURIES of men looking at my tits instead of my eyes and pinching my @ss instead of shaking my hand, I now have the *DIVINE* right to stare at a man's BACKSIDE with vulgar, cheap appreciation if I want to!
    Sharon: Well Said!
    Denise: Yea, well, I thought so

    "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." Single, greatest movie line EVER!
    "Well, you know what they say. If you can't say anything nice about someone, come sit next to me." - Clairee, Steel Magnolias

    LOVE both of these...and they make me realize that some of my FAVORITE movies came out when I was a baby or a lil girl! :laugh:

    Some of my faves:

    "50 years from now, when you're looking back on your life, don't you want to say you had the guts to get in the car?"
    ~Transformers

    "A heart can be broken but it keeps beatin just the same"
    "TOWANDA"
    ~Fried Green Tomatoes

    "Its's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you get hit and can keep going"
    ~Rocky Balboa

    And various lines from the Twilight movies...too many actually...don't judge me :blushing:

    Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
    Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
    Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
    Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
    Mongol General: That is good! That is good.


    Strange Brew also has a ton of quotes that are pure gold
