best one-liners by an actor

[gaseousclay]

my vote goes to Clint Eastwood. he's got so many memorable lines from the many westerns he's done, on top of the newer films he's done in the last 10-20 yrs.

my favorite from Outlaw Josey Wales:

Bounty hunter #1: "you're wanted, Wales."

Josey Wales: "Reckon I'm right popular. You a bounty hunter?"

Bounty hunter #1: "A man's got to do something for a living these days."

Josey Wales: "Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy."

 

[The Last Chimney]

That's four!

 

[RobertH]

I don't know what my favourite all time was, but if we're doing Clint Eastwood I'd have to go with Unforgiven:

"You just shot an unarmed man!"

Clint: "Well he should have armed himself."

So good.

 

[grump]

I like all of these.

“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn”, Rhett Butler (Clark Gable)

“Shaken – Not stirred”, James Bond (Sean Connery)

“I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse”, Michael Corleone (Al Pacino)

“Say hello to my little friend”, Tony Montana (Al Pacino)

“Go ahead. Make my day”, Inspector “Dirty” Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood)

"My mama always said, 'Life is (was) like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.'" Forest Gump (Tom Hanks)

Must I pic a favorite or can I have one for each day of the week?

Mr Montana again

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women"

 

[dougr]

Guess what my favorite Eastwood line is?....

 

[luvmysuper]

Mr Montana again

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women"

Then when you get the women, they get the money and the power.

 

[DunEdinRanger]

So many good lines...

George Hamilton as Count Dracula in Love at First Bite, "With you my dear, never a quickie, always a Longie!"

And there are too many from Mel Brooks movies to list, so...

Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Taggart: Gol darnit Mr. Lamarr. You use your tongue prettier'n a twenty dollar whore.

 

[rm71]

"I'll be back" - The Terminator

"You talkin to me?" - Rober De Niro in Taxi Driver

 

[dpm802]

In the film "Silent Movie," Marcel Marceau had the only spoken line ... "NO."

 

[BCatl]

I'll read actor broadly here so to speak,

Marie Dressler as Carlotta Vance in Dinner at Eight:

Kitty: I was reading a book the other day.

Carlotta (staggering at the thought): Reading a book!

Kitty: Yes. It's all about civilization or something, a nutty kind of a book. Do you know that the guy said that machinery is going to take the place of every profession?

>Carlotta (eyeing Kitty's costume, breasts and shapely physical charms): Oh, my dear, that's something you need never worry about.

 

[AdrianR]

Badgers?

Err...I mean, "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

Alfonso Bedoya as "Gold Hat" on 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre'

 

[Blue_2]

Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry:

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?"
Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.
But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question:

Do I feel lucky?

Well, do ya, punk?

 

[gaseousclay]

That's four!

*edit*

just changed the title of the thread

 

[gaseousclay]

Igor to Dr Frankenstein in Young Frankenstein:

"you take the blonde and i'll take the one in the toiban. rawrrrraaawwrrr"

 

[pauls51]

Then when you get the women, they get the money and the power.

If only he knew!

 

[Wilpar76]

Pretty much any line by Val Kilmer (Doc Holliday) in Tombstone.

 

[Tha Baron]

"Because... I was inverted"

 

[shavervinnie]

" I guess it comes down to a simple choice, get busy living or get busy dying"- Tim Robbins as Andy Dufrense in The Shawshank Redemption.

 

[unstereotyped]

I know these are actually characters mentioned:

"I find your lack of faith disturbing." - Darth Vader (Star Wars - A New Hope)

"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." - Galadriel (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring)

"Cheesburger, no cheese." Barry Williams played by Adam Brody in Growing Up Brady.

"What is it with reporters? You take one person's tragedy and force the world to experience it... spread it like sickness." Richard Morgan (The Ring)

Although it was never spoken in The Shining:

All work and no play make Jack a very dull boy.
All work and no play make Jack a very dull boy.
All work and no play make Jack a very dull boy.
All work and no play make Jack a very dull boy.
All work and no play make Jack a very dull boy.
