Also, to get all the way to 100, I needed to include quotes that weren't quite profane enough for the list. I really wanted quotes with bad words in them, but some of the ones that made the final cut simply refer to something disturbing going on in the film (like #40, from Deliverance) or include mild profanity like "ass" or "butthead." (Can you guess which film that's from...it's at #63).
Also, I counted racial slurs, because there are so many good quotes with them. (One of my all-time favorite movie quotes is #68, from The Untouchables).
The whole idea, initially, was to mock that stupid AFI Best Movie Quotes list, which for some ridiculous reason didn't include any quotes with profanity. Discounting any quote that referred to sex or included a cuss word eliminates a whole lot of great movie quotes. At least from films made after the early 1960's.
But that list came out forever ago, and because it took me so long to compile this list, it's not really very timely any more. But I still want to publish it because it's so fucking cool.
Okay, with any list, you need ground rules.
(1) They must be from American films, like the AFI list.
(2) I will not rank the quotes, because that's stupid anyway. I mean, how can you say which quote from two equally good movies is somehow "better"?
(3) Only one quote per movie. Some movies, like Goodfellas, have tons of great profane quotes, but if I allowed mutliple quotes from the same movies, the entire list would be Martin Scorsese and Brian Da Palma movies.

And just about the time that I'm comin' out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head open again. 'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do." - Casino

[Welcome to fans of one of my favorite sites, Gorilla Mask. You've already made this my biggest day of traffic EVAR!]
Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is a way better one. I'm putting it on the list for posterity.
ReplyDeleteNice. Especially like the Five Easy Pieces and Way of the Gun inclusions. Gotta say, though, I was sure you'd include a Miller's Crossing quote. I've always liked the one where Turturro calls his sister "a sick twist." Also, in Highlander when the cop asks, "Are you gay, Nash?" and he responds, "Why, are you cruising for a piece of arse?" Word to your mother.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see Repo Man made your list.
ReplyDeleteSweet! This might be your best list ever.
ReplyDeleteNot so, Anony...Suggest away! If I get 30 more good suggestions, I'll extend the thing to a Top 100.
ReplyDeleteBring it on!
He said "good" suggestions. Damn, you got served!
ReplyDeleteOkay.
ReplyDelete"All right, Dick! Really smoke that ass." -Or something like that, Jack Black in High Fidelity
--Buscemi: "This beer tastes like piss."
--Cheech: "That's because I PISS in it!"
-Come to your senses, get down from your fences
"Goin' home for a little 'push, push' in the bush!" -(or 'push-push' I guess, depending on your technique) Hell, you know that'n
"This beaner fare doesn't agree with me, but the price sure is right." -Kris Kristofferson in Lone Star
"I'm going to go find Ye Jack of Daniels so that ye may get shit-faced." -The Dude in Fisher King
Those ones always stand out in my mind, because I often eat burritos, drink whiskey, and piss on women's asses.
I am deeply, deeply saddened not to find my favorite line from Snatch on this list! Or does it count as the same movie as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels?
ReplyDeleteBRICK TOP: Do you know Nemesis means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case, by an 'orrible cunt: me.
Oh yeah, can't forget the tirade in 25th Hour. That is profane, rude, AND inappropriate, which means it's the only quote that, you know, transcends the profane-rude-inappropriate bridge.
ReplyDeletesince when are trainspotting and lock stock american movies?
ReplyDeleteGreat list, but the best quote from Raging Bull was when Vicky Lemata told Jake "Yah, I fucked everybody in the neighborhood, and ya know what? You got the littlest dick out there.
ReplyDeleteMAZZ
In the movie "Happiness", which is a must-see if you haven't heard of it. Probably the most inappropriate humor ever put on film. Father and son discussing the son's 12 year old classmates, Ronald Farber and Johnnie:
ReplyDeleteFather: I fucked them.
Son: What was it like?
Father It was...great.
Son: Would you do it again?
Father: Yes.
Son: Would you ever fuck me?
Father: No...I'd jerk off instead.
Kudos on a great list. You have inspired me to try harder on my own. Best of Luck
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Army of Darkness!!!
ReplyDeleteDuke Henry: You're not one of my vassals... who are you?
Ash: Who wants to know?
Duke Henry: I am Henry the Red. Duke of Shale, Lord of the Northlands and leader of its peoples.
Ash: Well hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things: Jack and shit... and Jack just left town.
another from Harold & Kumar
ReplyDeleteK:"No Neil, you don't understand; we've been craving these burgers all night"
NPH: "Yeah, I've been craving burgers too - fur burgers"
It's true...That anonymous guy nailed me...Lock Stock and Trainspotting are both British films, and shouldn't be on an "AFI" mocking list. I'll officially replace them with two other entries in for posterity.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anonymous Hostile Guy!
And keep those suggestions coming, everyone else. I probably will get to expand this thing to 100 now.
I still like Jim belushi's line from "about Last Night" (assuming the entinre opening monologue would be too long to reprint) is:
ReplyDeleteBERNIE to JOAN: If you didn't have a pussy there would be a bounty on your head.
From Desparado:
ReplyDeleteAntonio Banderas: (in confessional booth) "Forgive me Father, for I have killed quite a few men."
Steve Buscemi: (Sliding back privacy screen) "NO SHIT!!! I heard you cleaned out the entire Tarasco bar!"
From Wedding Crashers:
Will Ferrel: (in bathrobe, on couch, middle of day, screaming at the top of his lungs) "MOM... MEATLOAF.... FUCK!!!!"
"I told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. 'We're all out of cornflakes. F.U.' It took me three hours to figure out F.U. meant Felix Unger. LOL ..best quote ever.
ReplyDeleteReservoir Dogs??
ReplyDeleteToo many to list
Here's one from the movie Drive with Mark Dacoscos (I probbaly spelled his name wrong)
ReplyDelete"Well, if it isn't my favorite cheese-eating dick monkey."
Bravo to the man who suggested "Slapshot!" And, yes, I know Rez Dogs wasn't on there...Just trying to avoid putting EVERY QT screenplay on the list, but I suppose it's unavoidable. My pick would have probably been:
ReplyDelete"Fuckin' A! I'm trying to watch 'The Lost Boys'!"
And as for the "Clerks" guy, the "37 dicks" line has always been my favorite, but I actually did have a back-up one I considered using - "Did he just say making fuck?" Classic line.
I can think of 70 good quotes from Scarface alone...
ReplyDeleteAll I have in this world are my balls and my word, and I don't break 'em for no one
Say hello to my little friend
'can i get any of you cunts something to drink?'- Ed from Shaun of The Dead
ReplyDelete"zed's dead baby, zed's dead"- Butch Coolidge,Pulp Fiction
Who knew there was so much love out there for "Boondock Saints." All you guys owe it to yourselves to watch "Overnight," the documentary about director Troy Duffy, IMMEDIATELY. It will enhance the viewing of B. Saints 12-fold.
ReplyDeleteFrom American Movie (highly recommend if you havent seen it):
ReplyDeleteMark Borchardt: I was called to the bathroom at the cemetery to take care of something. I walked in the bathroom, and in the middle toilet right there... somebody didn't shit in the toilet, somebody shat on the toilet. They shat on the wall, they shat on the floor. I had to clean it up, man, but before that, for about 10 to 15 seconds man, I just stared at somebody's shit, man. To be totally honest with you, man, it was a really, really profound moment. Cuz I was thinkin', "I'm 30 years old, and in about 10 seconds I gotta start cleaning up somebody's shit, man."
Some suggestions...
ReplyDeleteFirst off, the quote you have from Kill Bill is right at the beginning of Vol. II if I'm thinking right, but I could be wrong on that.
From Pulp Fiction - "Does Marcellus Wallace look like a bitch to you?" "No." "Than why you gotta try to fuck him like one! The only person that can fuck Mr. Wallace liek a bitch is Mrs. Wallace!" or something like that
Harold and Kumar - "Roldy, there's these two filthy pussies just aching to get boned by us.. (coughs.) I mean, there are these two lovely young pussies that would like to have a nice chat with you and I."
or
"Who want's some buddha!" (chubby chinese guy at princeton party)
Slackers - "Dave, FUDGE!"
Van Wilder - "A cum-gargling, frat boy, bob's your uncle party? sorry boys, but the bakery's closed."
or
"Then, we bumped uglies. It was the best ten seconds ever. Ever."
Chasing Amy:
ReplyDeleteJay: Hey,why the long face?
Holden: Ah...Just some girl trouble...
Jay: Bitch pressin' charges? Yeah, I get that alot...
"No. You're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. You're my favorite person, but every once in a while, you can be a real cunt."
ReplyDeleteKill Bill Vol. 2
Don't forget the best quote from the best movie ever - Faster, Pussycat, Kill! Kill!
ReplyDeleteOld man in wheelchair, "And me, a poor cripple, tied to this wheelchair."
Varla, "Better you should be nailed to it!"
Wooo Hoo!!! Fun stuff man!
ReplyDeleteTwo from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back:
ReplyDeleteJay: "Dude, I think I just filled the cup."
and...
Jay: "YO BABY, YOU EVER HAD YOUR ASSHOLE LICKED BY A FAT MAN IN AN OVERCOAT?"
"You we're a load I shoulda swallowed!"
ReplyDeleteMothers Day
You forgot to end the quote from "True Romance". The best part is when he says, "...and that makes you part eggplant."
ReplyDeleteShould have had the pussy monologue by Cheech in From Dusk Till Dawn
ReplyDeleteyea yea! awsome to see the most underrated movie of all time SlapShot!
ReplyDelete"She's a LESbian, A LESBIAN!"-reg dunlop
This one unfortunately doesn't count because it is part of an "extra/deleted scene" from Fight Club. Try and guess where it would have been in the movie;
ReplyDelete"I want to have your abortion..."
Great List L!
Nice list. I would've picked a different one from Fight Club, though. Marla had a good one -
ReplyDelete"I haven't been fucked like that since grade school."
"I'LL STAB YA IN THE FACE WITH A SOLDERING IRON. DOES YA MOTHER SEW? BAM! GET HER TO SEW THAT!
ReplyDeleteCHRISTOPHER WALKIN-JOE DIRT
The scene in Reqium of a Dream where the two cracked out girls ar screwing and all of the men are chanting "butt to butt, butt to butt."
ReplyDeleteNoticed that more than one person mentioned Blue Velvet. Technically, that whole movie is an obscene quote, but I must second the author's choice of inclusion. It made PBR famous.
ReplyDelete"I was going to write an article entitled 'Michael Jackson Is Sitting On Top of the World,' but now I think I will call it, 'Michael Jackson May Be Sitting On Top of the World, But He's Not Sitting the Beverly Palm Hotel 'Cause They Ain't Got No Niggas There.'" - Beverly Hills Cop
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one, but it ends with "He's Not Sitting the Beverly Palm Hotel 'Cause They Ain't No Niggas allowed".
I just watched it, so it's fresh in my mind. Good list though.
Several people pointed out Marla's "I haven't been fucked like thtat since gradeschool" quote. But the original line is even better: "I want to have your abortion".
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
"I can't believe you came on my mom!"
ReplyDelete-Grandma's Boy
nice blog! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteGimme what you got, and what you don't got you can keep!... Master P
ReplyDeleteGimme what you got, and what you don't got you can keep!... Master P
