From the super mario bros movie (1993): When the mario gets out a bob-omb and then koopa whispers "BA-BOMB?!" in a hysterical way

I'm sure I have plenty, but I'll just go for one from No Country for Old Men, which I watched again a couple of nights ago:

"Is he dangerous?"
"Compared to what, the bubonic plague?"

I just remembered one from that same conversation that was also good: "What would you do with a brain if you had one?" - Dorothy

I got a copy of that one as a sound file back before I realized all the crap that people could get onto your computer along with a cute little sound. Fortunately, my husband was able to salvage the computer... and the saved sound files sans unwanted adware.

Hey irishwhistle - here's another good one:
The Player: The old man thinks he's in love with his daughter.
Rosencrantz: Good God. We're out of our depths here.
The Player: No, no, no! He hasn't got a daughter! The old man thinks he's in love with his daughter.
Rosencrantz: The old man is?
The Player: Hamlet... in love... with the old man's daughter... the old man... thinks.
Rosencrantz: Ah.

and this one:

Rosencrantz: I don't believe in it anyway.
Guildenstern: What?
Rosencrantz: England.
Guildenstern: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?

And some other favorites:

Max Fischer: I saved Latin. What did you ever do? (Rushmore)

And, for Ghostbusters, pretty much the entire script is a favorite quote. But if I had to post just one, I guess it would be this one:

Dr. Peter Venkman: Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

Yes, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are highly quote-able, as is Ghostbusters. I'm trying to recall which line it was I really liked... I like Vince's monologue about the earlier visits of Gozer, but I don't think that's it. I'll go look.

Okay, found one of the best ones:

Winston: Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!

There's whole conversations I could quote from it but I'll leave it alone for now.

I have a lot of quotes from movies I like. My current favorite is from "Land of the Lost." I saw it in the trailer and it was the only reason I went to see it (Well, OK, Anna Friel had a little something to do with it... ) :

"Matt Laurer can suck it!"

Most of the other quotes I like are from one of my favorite movies, "The Zero Effect." If you haven't seen it, it's about the world's greatest detective, Darryl Zero (note avatar and screen name), who is, shall we say, a little "odd." Here are some of his quotes from the movie:

"When you go looking for something specific your chances of finding it are very bad because of all the things in the world, you're only looking for one of them. When you go looking for anything at all, your chances of finding it are very good, because of all the things in the world, you're sure to find some of them."

"I always say that the essence of my work relies fundamentally on two basic principles, objectivity and observation (or the two "obs" as I call them). My work relies on my ability to remain absolutely and purely objective, detached. I have mastered the fine art of detachment. And while it comes at some cost, this supreme objectivity is what makes me, I dare say, the greatest observer the world has ever known."

"People know they're being followed when they turn around and see someone following them. They can't tell they're being followed if you get there first."

"I can't possibly overstate the importance of good research. Everyone goes through life dropping crumbs. If you can recognize the crumbs you can trace a path all the way back from your death certificate to the dinner and a movie that resulted in you in the first place. But research is an art not a science because anyone who knows what they're doing can find the crumbs, the "wheres", "whats", and "whos"; the art is in the "whys"--the ability to read between the crumbs (not to mix metaphors)."

"Absolutely vital: The ability to blend in, to very discreetly assimilate. It's not usually very difficult. All you have to do is look around, see how all the ordinary people are behaving, and try to behave like one of them."

One of my favorite scenes his where is assistant describes him to a friend. Here are some snippets of his side of the conversation:

"I'm telling you, he never even leaves the house, okay? I mean, he's like some kind of recluse. A complete freak. No social life. In fact, no social skills. f*****g strange. When he works, the smoothest operator you've seen. Brave, slick, cunning, do anything. Soon as he gets off work, it's all gone. Afraid to go to the dry cleaners. Literally. Too uncomfortable in his own skin to go out and eat. Tactless. And inept. Rude, too. Just an a**hole. I don't think he's ever kissed a girl. He's thirty-something years old. He writes songs. He's terrible. His metaphors are thin, his imagery is clichéd, and his thematic material is trite and heavy-handed."

So, um, yeah, I've seen this movie many times. And yes, I often quote it at work.
