Yeah, I know I'm a day late. I'm also a dollar short, so what? Today, I'm changing the topic ever so slightly and am bringing to you my TOP 10 Favorite Movie Quotes. I have no doubt that the minute I post this, I will remember countess more. But for the meantime, here are ten that are on the top of my head (as opposed to the bottom of my feet).
TOP 10 FAVORITE MOVIE QUOTES
10. (tie) "I'm funny how, I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh?" -- Goodfellas
Yes, this came from a movie that wasn't considered a comedy, but Joe Pesci always cracks me up. The Animaniacs take on this is priceless.
10. (tie) "Yeah I called her up, she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention" - Dumb and Dumber
I wasn't a huge fan of Harry and Lloyd, but I always loved this line. It, like, speaks to me in a "guy" way.
9. "Licensed to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man free to kill gophers at will." - Caddyshack
There are a lot of lines I could have used from this movie, but this was one of my favorites.
8. "Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something." - The Princess Bride
Maybe THE most quotable movie ever. This quote, however, portrayed the essence of the humorous dialogue.
7. "Don't mind her. She's just upset that someone dropped a house on her sister." - Beetlejuice
Great movie. Great line.
6. "The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads: they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude." - Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Another oft-quoted flick. This quote speaks for all the 80's, John Hughes' films. Like, totally!
5. "The central message of Buddhism is not: 'Every man for himself'." - A Fish Called Wanda
Maybe the most underrated movie in cinematic history. I thought of a few of Kevin Kline's classic lines, but instead chose one that made fun of his character instead.
4. "It's an .88 Magnum. It shoots through schools." - Johnny Dangerously
I take that back. Johnny Dangerously was the most overlooked film ever. It was the best work Joe Piscopo ever did.
3. "Where am I gonna find a piece of metal, here, in space, at this hour?" - Airplane II: The Sequel
So many good quotes, so little space. Surely, Airplane and it's sequel were the most hilarious duo ever produced. And please, don't call me Shirley.
2. "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine." - Spaceballs
For pure silliness, Spaceballs was a good movie to watch - especially with a group of your closest old friends. This line, however, cracks me up every time I just think about it - no matter who I'm with.
1. "Now, I don't have to tell you good folks, what has been happening here in our beloved little town: sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded, and cattle raped." - Blazing Saddles
If you can get past the visual, you're halfway there. Mel Brooks had a run of three incredibly funny movies starting with his first two - The Producers and Young Frankenstein - and culminating in his finest one, Blazing Saddles. There were a few other quotes from them that I adored as much as this, but this is a family blog.
