From The Magnificent Seven (1960)~

(Eli Wallach plays Calvera and Yul Brynner plays Chris)

[Calvera has just captured the Seven]
Calvera: What I don't understand is why a man like you took the job in the first place, hmm? Why, huh?
Chris: I wonder myself.
Calvera: No, come on, come on, tell me why.
Vin: It's like a fellow I once knew in El Paso. One day, he just took all his clothes off and jumped in a mess of cactus. I asked him that same question, "Why?"
Calvera: And?
Vin: He said, "It seemed to be a good idea at the time."

From Doctor Strangelove (1964)

[seeking change for a pay phone to avert world nuclear annihilation...]
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake(Peter Sellers): Colonel... that Coca-Cola machine. I want you to shoot the lock off it. There may be some change in there.
Colonel "Bat" Guano (Keenan Wynn): That's private property.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel! Can you possibly imagine what is going to happen to you, your frame, outlook, way of life, and everything, when they learn that you have obstructed a telephone call to the President of the United States? Can you imagine? Shoot it off! Shoot! With a gun! That's what the bullets are for, you twit!
Colonel "Bat" Guano: Okay. I'm gonna get your money for ya. But if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what's gonna happen to you?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: What?
Colonel "Bat" Guano: You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.

Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
[kneels]
Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like
[sniffing, pondering]
Kilgore: victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

 

[NW-Bound]

... I love the smell of napalm in the morning...

That is the phrase that I remember.

Now, I love the smell of money in the morning, when the Dow opens up.

 

[audreyh1]

Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!

Heard that phrase for years before I actually saw "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and saw it spoken by a mustachioed Mexican army dude with a sombrero and those big bullet belts worn criss-crossing the chest. (The Mexican army dude had just been asked for identification)

I love this scene between Vizzini and The Man in Black/The Dread Pirate Robert/Wesley in the Princess Bride:

YouTube - Princess Bride

with the memorable line:

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

 

[Notmuchlonger]

One of many.

The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right.

[Midpack]

Several that make me laugh, although you to know the movie/context for them to be funny...

From Stripes
Psycho: The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you.
Leon: Ooooooh.
Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.
Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.

From Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Economics Teacher: Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Cameron: The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion.
Ferris: It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.

If you accept the premise that the great TV dramas are just
"long-form movies":

That is the greatest TV drama. Better than a lot of trash that made it to the big screen.

Omar Little had fantastic lines. One of my favorites comes at the end of this clip when he takes on the worm Levy in court:

YouTube - I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase

 

[Dawg52]

Blazing Saddles

Ranch Hand: How about more beans Mr Taggart?
Taggart: I'd say you've had enough.

[jimnjana]

from animal house

D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!

[IndependentlyPoor]

From my all time favorite movie, The Lion in Winter (not in order):

Eleanor: [to her jewelry] I'd hang you from the nipples, but you'd shock the children.

later

Henry II: The day those stout hearts band together is the day that pigs get wings.
Eleanor: There'll be pork in the treetops come morning.

and

Eleanor: I even made poor Louis take me on Crusade. How's that for blasphemy. I dressed my maids as Amazons and rode bare-breasted halfway to Damascus. Louis had a seizure and I damn near died of windburn... but the troops were dazzled.

and

Henry II: I marvel at you after all these years. Still like a democratic drawbridge: going down for everybody.
Eleanor: At my age there's not much traffic anymore.

and Eleanor again after driving Henry to apoplexy by describing how she cuckolded him with his own father:

Eleanor: What family doesn't have its ups and downs?

 

[thefed]

TAXI DRIVER: Between Bickle and himself

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the f#$% do you think you're talking to?"

GOODFELLAS: Pesci

"Do you think im funny, do i make you laugh, am i a clown, am i here to amuse you, what the f**k is so funny about me."

i cant find the entire script from the entire scene...but it is a great one.....

 

[Danny]

Everything Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint say on the train in North by Northwest

Roger: The moment I meet an attractive woman, I have to start pretending I have no desire to make love to her.
Eve: What makes you think you have to conceal it?
Roger: She might find the idea objectionable.
Eve: Then again, she might not.

Eve: I'm Eve Kendall. I'm twenty-six and unmarried. Now you know everything.
Roger: Tell me. What do you do besides lure men to their doom on the Twentieth Century Limited?
Eve: I'm an industrial designer.
Roger: Jack Phillips. Western sales manager for Kingby Electronics.
Eve: No, you're not. You're Roger Thornhill of Madison Avenue, and you're wanted for murder on every front page in America, and don't be so modest.
Roger: Whoops!
Eve: Oh, don't worry, I won't say a word.
Roger: How come?
Eve: I told you. It's a nice face.
Roger: Is that the only reason?
Eve: It's going to be a long night.
Roger: True.
Eve: And I don't particularly like the book I've started.
Roger: Ahhh.
Eve: You know what I mean?
Roger: Uh, let me think. [Pause] Yes, I know exactly what you mean...

Eve: I'm a big girl.
Roger: Yeah, and in all the right places too. [They share a lingering kiss.]
Eve: You know, this is ridiculous, you know that don't you?
Roger: Yesss.
Eve: I mean, we've hardly met.
Roger: That's right.
Eve: How do I know you aren't a murderer?
Roger: You don't.
Eve: Maybe you're planning to murder me right here tonight?
Roger: Shall I?
Eve: Please do. [Another long kiss.]

 

[Urchina]

From "Mystery Men," probably one of my favorite movies ever:

The Shoveller (played by William H. Macy): Lucille, God gave me a gift. I shovel well. I shovel very well.
Lucille: Honey, you shovel better than any man I've ever known, but that does not make you a super hero.
[the Shoveller starts to say something, but Lucille cuts him off]
Lucille: No, listen to me. You're a good husband, and a good father. But that's all. Nothing more.
[she walks offscreen, a small boy wearing a Captain Amazing T-shirt hugs The Shoveller's leg]
Roland, The Shoveler's Son: I believe in you, Daddy!
Lucille: [calling from off-screen] Roland, do *not* encourage your father.

 

[Max Power]

From the French Connection with Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider...

Popeye: "Whatdya say we give them a tail?"
Cloudy: "Give who a tail?"
Popeye: "The greaser with the blonde."
Cloudy: "You wanna play hide-the-salami with his old lady?"
Popeye: "Yeah!"

 

[Gworker]

From Burn After Reading, not a classic but I found it funny. I think you have to work for the G to find it funny:

CIA Superior: What did we learn, Palmer?
CIA Officer: I don't know, sir.
CIA Superior: I don't f***in' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.
CIA Officer: Yes, sir.
CIA Superior: I'm f***ed if I know what we did.
CIA Officer: Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say
CIA Superior: Jesus F***ing Christ.

 

[bbbamI]

From Titanic...

Jack: Rose, you're no picnic, all right? You're a spoiled little brat, even, but under that, you're the most amazingly, astounding, wonderful girl, woman that I've ever known...
Rose: Jack, I...
Jack: No, let me try and get this out. You're ama- I'm not an idiot, I know how the world works. I've got ten bucks in my pocket, I have no-nothing to offer you and I know that. I understand. But I'm too involved now. You jump, I jump remember? I can't turn away without knowing you'll be all right... That's all I want.
Rose: Well, I'm fine... I'll be fine... really.
Jack: Really? I don't think so. They've got you trapped, Rose. And you're gonna die if you don't break free. Maybe not right away because you're strong but... sooner or later that fire that I love about you, Rose... that fire's gonna burn out...
Rose: It's not up to you to save me, Jack.
Jack: You're right... only you can do that.

 

[kyounge1956]

My all-tme favorite is from "Star Trek IV":

Dr Gillian Taylor: Don't tell me...you're from outer space.
Cpt. Kirk: No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space.

There must be a youtube of this somewhere, but I didn't have time to look for it.

 

[BunsGettingFirm]

Heat:

Detective Vincent Hanna: "So, you want to tell me what you know?"

Richard: "I get killed for telling you this sh*t!"

Hanna: "You get killed walking your doggie."
