Certain lines have jumped off the movie screen as catch-phrases and then actually endured to become a permanent part of the language. Here's a few more-obvious ones: "Go ahead, make my day."--Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry"You talkin' to me?...You talkin' to ME!!?"--Robert DeNiro, Taxi Driver"The usual suspects."--Claude Raines, Casablanca"I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.". --Marlon Brando, The GodfatherThey're baaaaaack!" (used interchangeably with he, she, we're, it's, etc) --Little Girl, Poltergeist"Smile when you say that."--Humphrey Bogart, [ferget which movie...mebbe The Petrified Forest?] And, of course, the now-omnipresent and much-variated "Badges? We dun need no steenkin' badges!"--The deputized Mexican Banditos in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. ("roolz" here, of course  ) Anybody have any others? Or corrections on these? (which I'm sure Faldo will be more-than-glad to provide, if necessary ) However, I'm looking for the ones that have really been integrated into the language. For instance, while "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" from Casablanca is often used tongue-in-cheek, it never really took on a life of it's own linguistically, so it wouldn't rank here. However, come to think of it, "We'll always have Paris" from the same film has taken on a sort of idiomatic life of it's own, meaning any special moment shared in memory, so that could qualify. In the same vein "Follow the yellow brick road", while often quoted meaning to keep on following a certain path, never crept out of it's original aura, so I'm not sure it would qualify here either. And if someone sez Schwarzenegger's I'll be back, I'll scream. OTH, I think his "Ostalevista, baby!" [sp?] needs to be here. And "Be afraid. Be very afraid." was the promo on the poster for The Fly, I don't think Jeff Goldblum ever said it in the film, did he?

Another one from Casablanca that has a fair degree of currency:
"I'm shocked, simply shocked."
And it's usually used with the same sense of irony as intended in the original.

What a great idea for a thread, Juan! Sorry I can't think of anything right off, but I'll return if I do. Loftan just offered: "Here's lookin' at you, kid" from Casablanca and "You had me at hello," from Jerry McGuire--and I have no idea what Lof's talking about, but she assures me this is a phrase that her age group picked up. Edit: Lof's got another one-- "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" from Oz

Can't remember which movies but Mae West with
"Why dontcha come up and see me sometime?" and
"Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"
Like some of the others mentioned above, people who have never seen the movie still recognise the lines.

Yep, Zed...that Mae West "Why don'tcha..." is a good one! And I even forgot that "gun in your pocket" line was hers!  Her's another definite biggie: "I coulda been somebody, I coulda been a contenduh."--Marlon Brando, On the WaterfrontWhich is actually a misquote, BTW, because the *orignal line is, "I coulda been a contenduh, I coulda been somebody." Why most folks transpose it colloquially (including me), I dunno. More fun to day "contenduh" at the end, I guess. But everytime I see the clip of that scene I'm reminded of the original and continue to use it the other way anyway. And, speaking of *original quotes, the Claude Raines line from Casablanca is actually "Round up the usual suspects." But, as has been discussed in seeking the etymology of the phrase on this board, it seems to have given rise to the phrase "the usual suspects." And I *think the Godfather quote is actually, "Make him an offer he can't refuse". But it's become used in every which way. Must be some fodder in these leads, folks...James Dean, W.C. Fields, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Anyone? And this has been parodied enough for consideration here: "It's aliiiiiive!"--Dr. Frankenstein And does anyone know if Dennis Hopper actually introduced "Far out!" in Easy Rider?

"Play it again, Sam."
...and the expression attributed to Cary Grant (that he never spoke): "Judy, Judy, Judy."

>..and the Peter Sellers line from "The Pink Panther": "Does your dug baht?" Ah for the IPA - I would have transcribed that quite differently. It did however, somwhat circuitously, remind me of a line from cinema that has attained some measure of currency in certain circles, from a character near to one of our own. "Do or do not, there is no try." Fozzie Bear.

And now for something completely different was often used as a voice-over on the Monty Python's television program, "Monty Python's Flying Circus," usually to lead to the next skit.
Did somebody already mention Dirty Harry's immortal question "Do you feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?"
Not yet a widely quoted line, but I love DeNiro's response in "Ronin" when he is asked if he ever killed anybody: I hurt somebody's feelings once.
One of the most quoted movies when I was in college was the hilarious Raising Arizona, which produced:
I'll just take these Huggies and whatever cash you've got in the drawer.
Her womb was a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase.
Uh no, ma'am, we released ourselves on our own recognizance.

Wasn't "I'm king of the world" by the bad boy himself James Cagney while holding off the 'coppers' from on top of an oil tank (something like that)...?
"Thankyah-vurah much" - Can't you just hear Elvis say it?
"It could be worse... it could be raining" - Marty Feldman in 'Young Frankenstein' (that's "Frahn-ken-shteen")
"If I held you any closer I'd be behind you" - Groucho Marx
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning" - Robert Duvall in 'Apocolypse Now'

Righto, Musick! Give that man a see-gar! and a Lewinsky to go with it>That wasn’t the first time that line had been used in a movie. Many years earlier, in a classic Warner Brothers gangster movie [ "White Heat"] tough guy Jimmy Cagney, being chased by police, stood on top of a burning tanker and screamed, “Look at me, ma –I'm the king of the world!"< Just before, I believe, he was blasted to bits by the coppers' machine-gun bullets (it was a short-loved reign). But ashkually®, it was evidently none other than Alexander the Great who first used the phrase (albeit in Classic Greek), "King of the World."

Well, I thought about mentioning it after vbq's post, but I was by no means the only one mantled in that post, and did not want to be the only one raising a fuss about it. You, on the other hand, are family, so the gloves are off. We do sincerely hope you enjoyed the show, and remember, no matter who you are, and what you do to live, drive and survive, there still some things that make us all the same.

Well, there's one line I was really 'spectin' one of our Southern Belles to come up with (and especially our pseudo-Southern Belle late of Atlanta ). It just happens to be the closing line from what many consider to be one of the greatest films of all time. The film was even cited earlier on this thread, and by an Upunderer yet! thanks, Max! "After all, tomorrow is another day..." --Scarlett O'Hara, Gone With the WindBtw, sjmaxq, this quote, according to Bartleby's, is from both the book and movie. However, the Clark Gable quote, "And, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," was tailored for the film by the screenwriter: >The Columbia World of Quotations. 1996. NUMBER: 40050 QUOTATION: I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken—and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.... I wish I could care what you do or where you go, but I can’t. My dear, I don’t give a damn. ATTRIBUTION: Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949), U.S. novelist. Rhett Butler, in Gone with the Wind, vol. 2, pt. 5, ch. 63 (1936). In the 1939 movie (screenplay by Sidney Howard), the final words of Rhett’s farewell to Scarlett O’Hara are “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!” with the emphasis on “give” to soften the impact of the “damn.” The Columbia World of Quotations.

Well, I rest my case, triumphantly. I was RIGHT. The book's version, at least according to your source, IS different to the movie's. The word "Frankly" does not appear in the passage from the book, (again, in your source, I've never read the book, or seen the movie), which makes my assertion that the famous quote is specific to the movie absolutely correct.

JFTR, I've also seen the James Cagney line quoted as this:
“I’m the king of the world, ma – the king of the world!”
Have to check out White Heat again the next time it's on and see which one it is.

The quote from Treasure was:
Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges.
The speaker of the lines was Gold Hat, the bandito leader, played by Alfonso Bedoya.

Some more from US TV Late Night:
This one has more to do with the the inflection, the sound, than with the actual phrase:
"I did not know that."

"Herrrrrrrrrrrre's, Johnny!" [or any other name]

We use a couple of these in our house on a regular basis:
It's dead, Jim. (some kind of Star Trek reference, now used when referring to, say, an appliance that won't start)
I don't think so, Tim. (from Home Improvement, used when anyone suggests something bloody stupid, reference to Tim Allen's character who did a lot of bloody stupid things on that show)

I don't think so, Tim.
This one needs to be said with just the right tone of voice.
Then there's always (back in the realm of movies):
"Don't call me Shirley."

"Don't call me Shirley."--first used in Airplane!, I believe, and introduced by Robert Hays as the pilot, then Leslie Nielsen. Surely that phrase needs the requisite conjunction "And" in front of it, doesn't it? just kidding, Faldage, that's a good one we missed, thanks!...and don't call me Juan!

In our house the "Get Smart" line was "Sorry 'bout that, chief"
I said it to a First Nations friend too young to remember the show and got a very odd look.

Jackie,
Read "Native Americans". Except we don't call them Native Americans, they would be Native Canadians if anything, so we go with "First Nations". It might be a bit YART-y, I can't recall.

Faldage, I know you're just teasing but...
(This is one of those prescriptive vs. descriptive things) In Canada, we don't use the word "American" unless we mean "relating to the country called the United States of America". I realize it is the name of the continent but no one here uses it that way. Therefore, continents aside, I am certainly NOT in America. I don't care that technically we are both on the continent called America (prescriptivist). It's just not used that way (descriptivist), so to both understand and be understood, one needs to know that.

an other case of politics overriding geography..
but first settlers would do well for a term, since the first nation people are but immigrants from asia, and who were follows several hundred years latter by immigrants from europe (and dna evidence now indicated most of the european population also came from asia..) its really a just marking a cultural difference..

re American - what Bean said.

Hence First Nations and not Aboriginal, they were the first to establish nations here. Besides it is the currently polite term altough, come to think of it, most of my First Nations friends call themselves Indian.

"Don't call me Shirley." reminds me of...
Sir, I have a question.
What is it Tommy?
It's an interrogative statement used to test knowledge, but that's not important right now.
And the other variations thereof.
