Vincent Price as Dr. Phibes
About a Boy (2002)
- The thing is, a person's life is like a TV show. I was the star of The Will Show. And The Will Show wasn't an ensemble drama. Guests came and went, but I was the regular. It came down to me and me alone. If Marcus' mum couldn't manage her own show, if her ratings were falling, it was sad, but that was her problem. Ultimately, the whole single mum plotline was a bit complicated for me.
Hugh Grant as Will
- Suddenly I realized - two people isn't enough. You need backup. If you're only two people, and someone drops off the edge, then you're on your own. Two isn't a large enough number. You need three at least.
Nicholas Hoult as Marcus
- No, no, you've always had that wrong about me. I really am this shallow.
Hugh Grant as Will

Hugh Grant as Will

Chris Cooper as John Laroche
- I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion. I want to know how it feels to care about something passionately.
Meryl Streep as Susan Orlean
- You know why I like plants? ecause they're so mutable. Adaptation is a profound process. Means you figure out how to thrive in the world.
Chris Cooper as John Laroche
- There are too many ideas and too many people. And too many directions to go. I was starting to believe that the reason it matters to care passionately about something, is that is whittles the world down to a more manageable size.
Meryl Streep as Susan Orlean

Gary Oldman as Ivan Korshunov
- The dead remember our indifference. The dead remember our silence.
Harrison Ford as President James Marshall
- Never again will I allow our political self-interest to deter us from doing what we know to be morally right. Atrocity and terror are not political weapons. And to those who would use them, your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate and we will no longer be afraid. It's your turn to be afraid.
Harrison Ford as President James Marshall
Airplane! (1980)
- And stop calling me Shirley.
Leslie Nielsen as Dr. Rumack
- Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
Peter Grves as Captain Oveur

Lloyd Bridges as Steve McCrosky

Helen Hayes as Ada Quonsett
The Alamo (1960)
- Step down off your high horse, Mister. You don't get lard unless you boil the hog!
John Wayne as Davey Crockett
- Now I may sound like a Bible beater yelling up a revival at a river crossing camp meeting, but that don't change the truth none. There's right and there's wrong. You got to do one or the other. You do the one and you're living. You do the other and you may be walking around, but you're dead as a beaver hat.
John Wayne as Davey Crockett
- Make a married woman laugh and you're halfway there.
Michael Caine as Alfie Elkins
- She's got a little ginger moustache. But I find I'm quite willing to overlook the odd blemish in a woman, providing she's got something to make up for it. Well, that's what we're all here for, innit - to help each other out in this life.
Michael Caine as Alfie Elkins
- I've never told her that I love her - except at those times when you've *got* to say something for appearance's sake.
Michael Caine as Alfie Elkins
- You know what? When I look back on my little life and the birds I've known, and think of all the things they've done for me and the little I've done for them, you'd think I've had the best of it along the line. But what have I got out of it? I've got a bob or two, some decent clothes, a car, I've got me health back and I ain't attached. But I ain't got me peace of mind - and if you ain't got that, you ain't got nothing. I dunno. It seems to me if they ain't got you one way they've got you another. So what's the answer? That's what I keep asking myself - what's it all about? Know what I mean?
Michael Caine as Alfie Elkins
Alien (1979)

- I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies.
Ian Holm as Ash
All About Eve (1950)

Bette Davis as Margo Channing
- Everybody has a heart - except some people.
Bette Davis as Margo Channing
- So many people know me. I wish I did. I wish someone would tell me about me.
Bette Davis as Margo Channing
- There never was, and there never will be, another like you.
George Sanders as Addison DeWitt
- Wherever there's magic and make-believe and an audience, there's theatre.
Gary Merrill as Bill Sampson
- Nothing is forever in the Theatre. Whatever it is, it's here, it flares up, burns hot and then its gone.
Celeste Holm as Karen Richards
- We all come into this world with our little egos equipped with individual horns. If we don't blow them, who else will?
George Sanders as Addison DeWitt

Anne Baxter as Eve Harrington
All That Jazz (1975)
- It's show time, folks.
Roy Scheider as Joe Gideon
- No, nothing I ever do is good enough. Not beautiful enough, it's not funny enough, it's not deep enough, it's not anything enough. Now, when I see a rose, that's perfect. I mean, that's perfect. I want to look up to God and say, "How the hell did you do that? And why the hell can't I do that?"
Roy Scheider as Joe Gideon
- Sometimes I don't know where the bullshit ends and the truth begins.
Roy Scheider as Joe Gideon
- If I die, I'm sorry for all the bad things I did to you. And if I live, I'm sorry for all the bad things I'm gonna do to you.
Roy Scheider as Joe Gideon

Roy Scheider as Joe Gideon
All the President's Men (1976)
- Follow The Money
Hal Holbrook as Deep Throat

Jack Warden as Harry Rosenfeld
- I was at a party once, and, uh, Liddy put his hand over a candle, and he kept it there. He kept it right in the flame until his flesh was burned. Somebody said, "What's the trick?" And Liddy said, "The trick is not minding."
Hal Holbrook as Deep Throat
Altered States (1980)
- The purpose of our suffering is only more suffering.
William Hurt as Eddie Jessup
- I'm a man in search of his true self. How archetypically American can you get? We're all trying to fulfill ourselves, understand ourselves, get in touch with ourselves, face the reality of ourselves, explore ourselves, expand ourselves. Ever since we dispensed with God we've got nothing but ourselves to explain this meaningless horror of life.
William Hurt as Eddie Jessup
- You saved me. You redeemed me from the pit. I was in it, Emily. I was *in* that ultimate moment of terror that is the beginning of life. It is nothing. Simple, hideous nothing. The final truth of all things is that there is no final Truth. Truth is what's transitory. It's human life that is real.
William Hurt as Eddie Jessup
Amadeus (1984)
- The only thing that worried me was the actual killing. How does one do that? Hmmm? How does one kill a man? It's one thing to dream about it; very different when, when you, when you have to do it with your own hands.
F. Murray Abraham as Salieri
- There are simply too many notes.
Jeffrey Jones as Emperor Joseph II
- My father, he did not care for music. When I told him how I wished I could be like Mozart, he would say, "Boy, do you want to be a trained monkey? Would you like me to drag you around Europe doing tricks, like a circus freak?"
F. Murray Abraham as Salieri
Amelie (2001)

- I like to look for things no one else catches.
Audrey Tatou in the title role

Charlie Talbert as Angus
- Superman isn't brave. He's smart, handsome, even decent. But he's not brave. Superman is indestructible, and you can't be brave if you're indestructible. It's people like you and your mother. People who are different, and can be crushed and know it. Yet they keep on going out there every time.
George C. Scott as Grandpa
Animal Crackers (1930)
- One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don’t know.
Groucho Marx as Captain Spaulding
- Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west, and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
Groucho Marx as Captain Spaulding
- A party. I came here for a party. And what happened? Nothing. Not even ice cream.
Groucho Marx as Captain Spaulding
Animal House (1978)
- Don't write this down, but I find Milton probably as boring as you find Milton. Mrs. Milton found him boring too. He's a little bit long-winded, he doesn't translate very well into our generation, and his jokes are terrible.
Donald Sutherland as Professor Jennings
- We have an old saying in Delta House: don't get mad, get even.
Bruce McGill as D-Day

Woody Allen as Alvy Singer
- I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light.
Woody Allen as Alvy Singer
- A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.
Woody Allen as Alvy Singer
- I was thrown out of N.Y.U. my freshman year for cheating on my metaphysics final, you know. I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me. When I was thrown out, my mother, who was an emotionally high-strung woman, locked herself in the bathroom and took an overdose of Mah-Jongg tiles. I was depressed at that time. I was in analysis. I was suicidal as a matter of fact and would have killed myself, but I was in analysis with a strict Freudian, and, if you kill yourself, they make you pay for the sessions you miss.
Woody Allen as Alvy Singer
- Honey, there's a spider in your bathroom the size of a Buick.
Woody Allen as Alvy Singer
- Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat... college.
Woody Allen as Alvy Singer
- I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories.
Woody Allen as Alvy Singer
Apocalypse Now (1979)

Martin Sheen as Captain Benjamin L. Willard
- I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn't even know it yet.
Martin Sheen as Captain Benjamin L. Willard
- Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that. I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.
Robert Duval as Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore
- I've seen horrors -- horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.
Marlon Brando as Colonel Walter E. Kurtz
- We must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig. Cow after cow. Village after village. Army after army.

- Fish all bath together. Though they do tend to eat one another. I often think fish must get awful tired of sea food.
Dudley Moore as Arthur Bach
- Poor people are not loved, Arthur. They urinate in public and have very few teeth.
John Gielgud as Hobson
- You spoiled little bastard! You're a man who has everything, haven't you, but that's not enough. You feel unloved, Arthur, welcome to the world. Everyone is unloved. Now stop feeling sorry for yourself. And incidentally, I love you.
