Let the debate begin
I was thinking the other day, what are my ten favorite movie quotes of all time? I've thought about it for awhile, and this is what I've been able to come up with. In order to heighten the humor, I am going to leave these completely out of context. See if you can guess what movie they're from. These are in no particular order. Also, it seems that I favor lines with swear words in them. How rude of me.
1. "He chose... poorly."
2. "Dear Lord, please don't let me fuck up."
3. "Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape."
4. "Your best? Losers whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen."
5. "You tossers! You had one job to do!"
6. "We ain't found shit!"
7. "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room."
8. "Talk about the wrong stuff."
9. "Damn you people. Go back to your shanties... This is golf."
10. "Crash and burn, Mav."

#7 is the legendary line from "Dr. Strangelove" and I believe #5 is from "Ocean's Eleven." Speaking of the latter, the wife and I just rented it recently, and we were wondering--do you know why Don Cheadle's prominent role was an uncredited one?

Some of my faves would be:
"We may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but, for the first time let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is that we are." (Garden State)
"I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum. Which is what I am, let's face it." (On the Waterfront)
"What do you do when your real life exceeds your dreams?"
"Keep it to yourself." (Broadcast News)
"You can't eat scenery." (Local Hero)
"There's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But, they don't all bring you lasagna at work." (Clerks)

Don Cheadle chose to be uncredited b/c of controversy surrounding the hierachy of the billing of the actors. He felt he was more important that some of the actors that were going to be billed ahead of him, so he chose to be uncredited. He had a great accent though.
