"This is Tokyo. Once a city of six million people. What has happened here was caused by a force, which, up until a few days ago, was entirely beyond the scope of man's imagination. Tokyo: a smoldering memorial to the unknown. An unknown, which, at this very moment, could lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.... My name is Steve Martin, I'm a foreign correspondent for United World News." Raymond Burr as Steve Martin, Godzilla: King of the Monsters "Then you have a responsiblity no man has ever faced: you have your fear, which might become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality." Akira Takarada as Hideto Ogata, Godzilla: King of the Monsters. "The way you walked was thorny T'was no fault of your own. But as the rain enters the soil And the river enters the sea So tears run to a predestined end. Your suffering is over May you find peace for eternity." -Maria Ouspenskya as Maleva, The Wolf Man(1941) And a great quote from a director IRL, so to speak. "Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice, that is thier tragedy." -Ishiro Honda
from Cool Hand Luke: You run one time, you got yourself a set of chains. You run twice you got yourself two sets. You ain't gonna need no third set, 'cause you gonna get your mind right.
"What? You think that just because a guy reads comics, he can't start some shit?" -Brody Bruce, Mallrats. "Time to do some gratuitous violence." -Boondock Saints II.
Conan the Barbarian: "Crom, I have never prayed to you before – I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad, Why we fought or why we died. No, all that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important. Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request – Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then the Hell with You!" Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Brother: (reading from Book of Armaments): And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu-- Brother Maynard : Skip a bit, Brother... Brother: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. Brother Maynard: Amen. King Arthur : Right. Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan: (Spock's Funeral) Captain James T. Kirk: We are gathered here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. But it should be noted that this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most......human.
Here's a good one: "Is this how you make a dinosaur?" "No. This is how you play God." And: "Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the 'best of intentions'" All from Jurassic Park III
Maximus: My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
"There's no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness." "Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men – courage and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace, and the vices of peace are the vices of old men – mistrust and caution. It must be so." "Run away, _____. Run. Run away, and never return." Frodo: I will take the Ring to Mordor. Though... I do not know the way. Gandalf: I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear. Aragorn: If, by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword. Legolas: And you have my bow. Gimli: And my axe. Boromir: You carry the fates of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done. [Sam appears from behind some bushes.] Sam: Here! And Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me! Elrond: No, indeed! It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret Council and you are not. [Merry and Pippin run into the Council meeting] Merry: Oi! We're coming too! You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us! Pippin: Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission. Quest. Thing. Merry: Well that rules you out, Pip. Elrond: Nine companions... So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring. Pippin: Great. Where are we going? "Sauron's wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift. The battle for Helm's Deep is over. The battle for Middle Earth is about to begin. All our hopes now lie with two little hobbits, somewhere in the wilderness." Frodo: I can't do this, Sam. Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo; the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end... because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going... because they were holding on to something. Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam? Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for. Sam: I wonder if we’ll ever be put into songs or tales. Frodo: What? Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, "Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring," and they’ll say, "Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, Dad?" "Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that’s saying a lot." Frodo: You left out one of the chief characters: Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam. Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn’t make fun. I was being serious. Frodo: So was I. Frodo: How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold. Denethor: Is there a captain here who still has the courage to do his lord's will? Faramir: You wish now that our places had been exchanged - that I had died and Boromir had lived. Denethor: Yes. I wish that. Faramir: Since you were robbed of Boromir, I will do what I can in his stead. If I should return, think better of me, Father. Denethor: That will depend on the manner of your return. Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... then you see it! Pippin: What? Gandalf? See what? Gandalf: White shores... and beyond. A far green country, under a swift sunrise. Pippin: Well, that isn't so bad. Gandalf: No. No, it isn't. "I know Kung Fu." More quotes later.
From O Brother where art thou? George Nelson: Cows! I hate cows worse than coppers! [fires his Tommy gun at them] Delmar O'Donnell: Oh, George... not the livestock. Pete: Wait a minute. Who elected you leader of this outfit? Ulysses Everett McGill: Well Pete, I figured it should be the one with the capacity for abstract thought. But if that ain't the consensus view, then hell, let's put it to a vote. Pete: Suits me. I'm voting for yours truly. Ulysses Everett McGill: Well I'm voting for yours truly too. [Everett and Pete look at Delmar for the deciding vote] Delmar O'Donnell: Okay... I'm with you fellas. Delmar O'Donnell: Gopher, Everett?

A great film on a subject that is tragically repeating itself even to this day. David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, and Good Luck: YouTube - Good Night, And Good Luck For reference, Edward R. Murrow as himself: YouTube - Edward R. Murrow - See It Now (March 9, 1954)
I can't believe anyone used a line from ANY transformer movie. "Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!" Any line by Mr Pink
"My guys are dying out there for nothing! For F*CKING NOTHING! GOD DAMN IT!" - Alone in the Dark. It wasn't a good line per say, but it was certainly memorable.
Patton: “Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.” The Longest Day: "Only two kinds of people are gonna stay on this beach: those that are already dead and those that are gonna die. Now get off your butts. You guys are the Fighting 29th." Knute Rockne all American: "Tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Gipper." The Princess Bride: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" Goldfinger "Do you expect me to talk?" - "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."
That was Goldfinger. Awesome scene though. "Choose your next witicism carefully Mr. Bond. It may be your last."
