this bit from Live Forever

"If we don't fight to the death, they will kill us both, Jim"

Carrey's best flick, and one of about 3 things Ben Stiller has ever come within 100 yards of that didn't suck donkey balls.

From To Kill A Mockingbird... Jem has just been saved and is lying in bed, recovering from an attempt on his life. Boo Radley (a very young Robert Duvall) emerges from the shadows. Scout (eyes wide): Hey, Boo! Atticus (gently, yet firmly): That's "Mister Radley", Scout. ++++++++++++++ My favorite moment, ever.

Cable Guy is in my top 3 favorite movies of all time.

near the end of Raging Bull, when La Motta is in a cell and beating the fuck out of the stone wall. Such unhinged desparation and pain in De Niro's voice.... I think The Bouncing Souls used this as a sample on one of their albums.

The scene in Joe Cabot's office with Vic Vega and Nice Guy Eddie in Reservoir dogs - where Vic (Madsen) just got out of prison. The dialogue always makes me smile.

"see that daddy? he got me down on the floor and he tried to fuck me."

and that bit about so much sperm being pumped up his ass, it's "backed up and starting to come out his mouth!"

I love how they are just about to get into it again when Vic snaps at them again and cuts it short. The smarmy look on Nice Guy Eddie's face is priceless.

--

There's a scene in Bob Roberts where Alan Rickman is being interviewed for the camera. I forget the dialogue, but he says something and kind of looks confused and trails off... again, a priceless expression on his face.

--

The Deer Hunter - George Dzundza's character. Hard not to enjoy his drunken, jolly face and laughter in the first part of the film. Memorable bit for me: First hunting trip in the movie, they're all hung over, still wearing their tuxedos from the night before when they get out the car in the mountains.. they start changing, and they are dipping coldcuts into a jar of mustard on the roof of the car.... the great big bearded guy dips a twinkie in... Dzundza looks at him incredulously and starts spitting out coldcuts and laughing: "That's MUSTARD!". Always gets me.

--

That scene in Jacob's Ladder where they kept interspersing those really quick cuts of that wierd rubbery thing twitching ... with that wet twitching noise... really creepy

--

Cold Comfort Farm - That old senile, crotchety lady that keeps blurting out, "I SAW SOMETHING NASTY IN THE WOODSHED!"

and then, that guy finally responds to her, "Sure you did, but did it see you, baby?"

hi-larious

--

Delroy Lindo in Bright Angel - confined to a wheelchair, telling his story to Lily Taylor about how he got "crippled". he was working on an oil rig. he was on the ground, when someone up top "dropped an orange straight down on my head... busted me all up inside." ... his train of thought getting more and more deranged and cryptic until he ends on a rant about people coming "up here" to get him; "Sure they'll come! They'll come up here with white sheets on their heads and BOOM! THAT'S WHAT I'LL HAVE TO SAY TO THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS! BOOM!"

same movie: Bejamin Bratt saying to Lily Taylor: "I'll bet you'll do anything,huh? Why you'd fuck a pig in knickers, i'll bet! You Canada girls!"

--

Gosford Park: After Ivor, the American Actor finishes playing a song on the piano, and everyone claps, that curmudgeonly old crone says "oh no please don't, you'll encourage him"

--

Tango and Cash - when they wind up in prison, and get ambushed by all the thugs they put there. That dude with the huge jaw says, "back on the streets, they broke my ribs, my leg, and my jaw."

there's just something about his delivery that cracks me up.

Then Russell says, "You broke THAT jaw?"

--

That scene in Mel Brooks' Silent Movie where they turn the soda machine into a cannon of sorts.

"..these are OR scrubs."

"Oh, are they?"

Joe Dirt when he's reading the Auto Trader Magazine and gets all excited about a good deal on some cosmetic add on, even though he doesn't have a car.

in PCU when John Faverau is all high, and that lady says to him..."can you blow me when the pampers is."

My pick?

I dunno....something out of King of New York, like this

"He's a fucking glitter-boy; he's looking to get sprayed, laid, played, and slayed, you know what I'm saying?"
--------------------------------------------------
"I heard a rumor about you."
"What's that?"
"I heard you got AIDS getting dicked up your ass in prison. That's what I heard."
"I thought about you every time I jerked off, dickhead."

the Jerk -

Steve Martin workin at the gas station gets shot at by a sniper. All the oil quart cans popping off around him.

Martin runs around screamin' "Its these cans, he hates these cans!"

In Shrek 2 - any of the scenes of Puss In Boots acting like a real cat.

dude, good call. But how BAD is Favreau in that flick; actually he is a terrible actor despite his other talents.....Piven OWNS that movie for me....One of the better characters of the era (after Wooderson and R.P.F.)

Edit: And I know it just came up in another thread but the "Berzerker? scene in Clerks is still "i'im-going-to-pee-my-pants-ber-zer-ker" funny to me for some reason.

it's kind of weird to say that Pivens steals that movie since he was the lead.

absolutley, Piven cracks me up in just about everything he's in.

EDITED



tiddlee-winks Jewels, my bad.

MEAT TOSSERRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: sorry, paper T our memory more fucked up than a soup sandwich.

TOSSERS!!!!!!!!!

get it right dude.

eh, i was just nitpicking.

Jermy Pivens is awesome, he's great in Old School in a polar opposite role.

"cheeeese . . . Hey, didn't we put you in a dumpster?"
deadpan - "I got out"

I could do From Dusk Til Dawn for this whole thread (WARNING: SPOILERS!):

The clerk yelling, in that desperate I-can't-believe-he-believes-that-psychopath way, "I never said, 'help us'!!!!!!"

Seth and Richie walking away from the liquor store, "Do the words 'low profile' mean anything to you?"

Richie looking through his hand.

Cutaway to the trunk. Old school.

"She wouldn't have said shit if her mouth was full of it." Interspersed with various psychotic blood-laden room accoutriments.

Seth's expression turns from sour to relief when he sees the RV. If you read the script, QT says, "...the sword of damocles is lifted..." and George Clooney plays it perfectly.

After Juliette Lewis' character asks Richie to eat her pussy, they cut to another scene, and she's facing the wrong way for the just-seen scene, and you realize it's all in his head.

"Okay ramblers, let's get ramblin'."

Cheech Marin playing three different parts in the movie.

The pussy speech.

After one vampire gets steaked on the pool table, the two eyes go into the two corner pockets.

That one guy turning into some weird animatronics dog after his head gets chopped off. Old school.

"Do they look like psychos? Is that what they look like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them...I don't give a fuck how crazy they are!"

And on and on.

I could also do Fifth Element, but most of them are based on Chris Tucker's character, for example:

Him screaming after the grappling grenade explodes ...continues screaming...continues screaming...takes a breath...resumes screaming...

Milla Jovovich's "bandage" outfit (now that is a "little thing").

"Mmm...chicken...good."

The cigarettes that are like 90% filter.

When the shuttle takes off, it's taking off from New York, but you don't recognize it, because it's been drained.

The blatant Warner Bros. cartoon reference at the end ("air brakes").

"Do these blow up into funny shapes?"

"No, unless round is funny."

---

"Son, you got a panty on your head."

---

"Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase."

---

"I don't know--jammies! They had Yodas and shit on 'em!"

Yes. Yes!!

When there was no meat, we ait fowl. When there was not fowl, we ate crawdad. And when there was no crawdad, we ate sand.

You ate what?

We ate sand.

You ate SAND.

That's right.

---

There's right and there's right and never the t'wain shall meet.

---

I tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn't easy with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House. I dunno. They say he's a decent man, so maybe his advisors are confused.

---

Why do you say you feel "trapped" in a man's body.

Well, sometimes I get them menstrual cramps real hard.

---

And of course, my sig line.

In the Big Lebowski, a movie with many great nuances, when the Dude first meets with the Big Lebowski, gets lectured about being a bum, he puts his sunglasses on in defiance.

Taxi Driver, when Bickle watches American Bandstand (or whatever), with couples dancing, while he sits alone in his apartment, looking dejected, and Jackson Browne's "Late for the Sky" is playing. I think it really epitomizes DeNiro's character.

"Have a nice life" over the close-up of the handshake at the end of Fandango.

and, during the opening scene, where Shrek comes back and Donkey is showing him what a good job he did taking care of his place. The goldfish in floating, dead, at the top of the bowl, and Donkey mumbles an angry "get your ass down there!" out of the side of his mouth...

I kept playing the scene in Shrek 2 when Shrek takes the potion stuff and there's this big buildup and then he farts for my nephew and niece. They loved it.

Care to come down from the ivory tower and give us the movie title?
