What's your favorite melodramatic movie line?

“Make him an offer he can’t refuse.” The Godfather

“Nobody’s perfect.” Some Like it Hot.

“Just when you thought it was safe to back in the water.” Jaws

“I never roll on Shabbos.” The Big Lebowski (This may be my favorite movie line of all time.)

“Make My Day.” Dirty Harry? (Doing this from memory.)

Another from Poltergeist “WHAT’S HAPPENING?!??!?!!”

“Oh, no, not the bees! NOT THE BEEEEES! AAAAARGH, THEY’RE IN MY EYES!”
Nicholas Cage in Wicker Man

And nearly every line from 300. “This is where we fight! THIS IS WHERE THEY DIE!” etc. The whole movie is basically spoken in all caps.

“Love means never having to say you’re sorry,” which is misquoted from 1970’s Love Story. The actual sappy line (used twice in the movie) is “Love means not ever having to say you’re sorry.” It’s a stinker either way.

@gailcalled “I never roll on Shabbos.” The Big Lebowski (This may be my favorite movie line of all time.)

“Shomer f___ing shabbos!” (Like you, I loved that movie, especially John Goodman’s lines.)

“It’s PEOPLE! PEOPLE!! Soylent Green is made out of PEOPLE! PEOPLE!!”—Soylent Green

@picante “It’s a stinker either way.”

You got that right. When I heard the line for the first time, my reaction was, “Huh?!?!” Love means being quick to apologize and sincerely regret bad deeds.

The line was cute in a cutesy movie that happened to be named, “Love Story,” but it doesn’t apply to real life.

“You talkin’ to ME?” – Ratso Rizzo, Midnight Cowboy

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Doesn’t get any more melodramatic than that :P

“Laugha while you can, monkey boy.”—Emilio Lizardo

KHAAAAAAN!!!!!

Just about anything from Magnificent Obsession including this one:

Once you find the way, you’ll be bound. It will obsess you. but believe me, it will be a magnificent obsession.

@Blondesjon, @YARNLADY Awww, but they are such wonderfully ironic melodrama!

I have had it with these motherfuckin’ snakes on this motherfuckin’ plane! ~ Samuel L Jackson

They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru, okay? They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru! They know you’re gonna be miles away before you find out you got fucked! They know you’re not gonna turn around and go back, they don’t care. So who gets fucked? Ol’ Leo Getz! Okay, sure! I don’t give a fuck! I’m not eating this tuna, okay? ~ Joe Pesci

@Katniss Classic.

So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little money, you know. Don’tcha know that? And here ya are, and it’s a beautiful day. Well. I just don’t understand it. -Fargo

Jack Torrance: Wendy? Darling? Light, of my life. I’m not gonna hurt ya. You didn’t let me finish my sentence. I said, I’m not gonna hurt ya. I’m just going to bash your brains in.

your money is no good here mr. torrance

How about the way hyperbolic foreword for Reefer Madness:

“The motion picture you are about to witness may startle you. It would not have been possible, otherwise, to sufficiently emphasize the frightful toll of the new drug menace which is destroying the youth of America in alarmingly-increasing numbers. Marihuana is that drug – a violent narcotic – an unspeakable scourge – The Real Public Enemy Number One! Its first effect is sudden, violent, uncontrollable laughter; then come dangerous hallucinations – space expands – time slows down, almost stands still….fixed ideas come next, conjuring up monstrous extravagances – followed by emotional disturbances, the total inability to direct thoughts, the loss of all power to resist physical emotions… leading finally to acts of shocking violence… ending often in incurable insanity. In picturing its soul-destroying effects no attempt was made to equivocate. The scenes and incidents, while fictionized for the purposes of this story, are based upon actual research into the results of Marihuana addiction. If their stark reality will make you think, will make you aware that something must be done to wipe out this ghastly menace, then the picture will not have failed in its purpose…. Because the dread Marihuana may be reaching forth next for your son or daughter….or yours….or YOURS!”

One of my favorite movies.

Tony: Danny isn’t here, Mrs. Torrance.

Jack Torrance: White man’s burden, Lloyd, my man, white man’s burden.

You blow it tonight, girl, and it’s keggers with kids all next year. – Heathers

And crawling
On the planets face
Some insects
Called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space

And meaning.

^^ It’s astounding! Time is fleeting!

Madness takes its’ toll.

@rojo There is no such word as its’.

its

its, its, its, its, its,
its, its, its, its, its,
its, its, its, its, its,
its, its, its, its, its,

Now can I get out of the corner?

I never actually saw this movie, but I saw this clip a few years back and I just thought of it.

OH MY GOD!!

HEY VAGINA! – Mark from “Garden State”
okay, it’s not melodramtic actually. but i suppose it could have ended up that way if it caused a bar fight…or something.

This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.
