get busy living or get busy dying
Harry Callahan,
''I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he fire six shots or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?''
Of all our inventions for mass communication,
pictures still speak the most universally understood language.
Walt Disney People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shit which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid.
Mark Renton, Trainspotting
How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams... at the exact moment of our death. Everyone. And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost? When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much is gained? Twenty-one grams. The weight of a stack of five nickels. The weight of a hummingbird. A chocolate bar. How much did 21 grams weigh?
Paul Rivers, 21 Grams
] The earth turned to bring us closer. It turned on itself and in us, until it finally brought us together in this dream.
There is a number hidden in every act of life, in every aspect of the universe. Fractals, matter-- there is a number screaming to tell us something... Numbers are a door to understanding a mystery that is bigger than us.
There are so many things that have to happen for two people to meet.
21 grams
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!
From “Meet Joe Black”
Joe Black: ...But Allison loves you?
Quince: [nods]
Joe Black: How do you know?
Quince: Because she knows the worst thing about me and it's okay.
It’s like you know each others secrets, your deepest darkest secrets.
And than You're free! You're free to love each other completely, totally. Just no fear.
So there's nothing you don't know about each other, and it's okay.

Life is simple; we are what we eat and what we read. Talk is superfluous.
"so what are my chances.. like 1 in a 100... 1 in a thousand...?"
"More like 1 in a million..."
"So you're telling me there's a chance!"
Dumb and Dumber
The Schofield Kid: [after killing a man for the first time] It don't seem real... how he ain't gonna never breathe again, ever... how he's dead. And the other one too. All on account of pulling a trigger.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.
Unforgiven (1992)
I'm going to name some movies as a whole for their dialog and not just a few lines. Yes, I'm cheating.
Miller's Crossing-
The Counselor
A Midwinter's Tale
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
"Narrator: This is crazy...
Tyler Durden: People do it everyday, they talk to themselves... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."
Fight club all the way.
"A dirty book is rarely dusty"
"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together - and blow."
Lauren Bacall as Slim in 'To Have and Have Not"
"What we've got here is failure to communicate."
Strother Martin as Captain in "Cool Hand Luke"
The entirety of Sweet Smell of Success. Pretty much the whole screenplay is quotable, and has some of the most acerbic dialogue ever written. It’s wonderful, in a bitter and twisted way.
So many possibilities, how can you pick just one?
"I think we need a bigger boat" Jaws
"Goldfinger, do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." Goldfinger
"Madness! Sheer Madness." The Bridge on the River Kwai
"My advise to you, drink heavily" Animal House
and, of course "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" Gone With the Wind
just to name a few
To name a few more classics:
"Here's looking at you, kid" Casablanca
"I'll be back!" Terminator
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." Godfather
"Show me the money!" Gerry McGuire
"I feel the need.... the need for speed!" Top Gun
"I lovethe smell of napalm in the morning!" Apocalypse Now
"Houston, we have a problem." Apollo 13
"Who's on first, Wha'ts on second, I don't know's on third" The Naughty Nineties (You need to listen to the entire five minute clip to get the most out of this classic)
From Toy Story:
Woody: "YOU ARE A TOY."
Buzz: "You are a sad strange little man and you have my pity."
So many quotes from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch to list! Brilliant writing from Guy Richie fantastically brought to life by an amazing cast.
FROM Star Wars, Episide 3 when they're in the detention level to rescue Princess Leia
"Han Solo: [sounding official] Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal.
Voice: What happened?
Han Solo: [getting nervous] Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?
Voice: We're sending a squad up.
Han Solo: Uh, uh... negative, negative. We had a reactor leak here now. Give us a few minutes to lock it down. Large leak, very dangerous.
Voice: Who is this? What's your operating number?
Han Solo: Uh...
[Han shoots the intercom]
Han Solo: [muttering] Boring conversation anyway. LUKE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE COMPANY!"
