I like
“You know how to whistle? Put your lips together and blow.”
“I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days”
The name’s Bond, James Bond.

How about the most famous one liner that never was: Play it again, Sam (may have been used in a later movie, but Bogart never said it…if my failing memory serves, Woody Allen may have said it in one of his movies)
Go get your effin shine box!!
Who throws a cupcake, honestly?
Dude, what’s mine say? Sweet! What’s mine say? Dude…..
Can you bring me my chapstick?
Again, from Casablanca: “Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.”
@whatthefluther; wonderful answer and fine memory. Woody Allen wrote, directed and starred in “Play it again, Sam.”
Here’s the dialog from Casablanca. Ilsa is Bergman; Rick is Bogart. Sam—>pianist
Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For old times’ sake.
Sam: [lying] I don’t know what you mean, Miss Elsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play “As Time Goes By.”
Sam: [lying] Oh, I can’t remember it, Miss Elsa. I’m a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I’ll hum it for you. Da..dee..da..dee..da..dum, da..dee..da..dee..da..dum…
[Sam begins playing on the piano]
Ilsa: Sing it, Sam.
Sam: [singing] You must remember this / A kiss is still a kiss / A sigh is just a sigh / The fundamental things apply / As time goes by. / And when two lovers woo, / They still say, “I love you” / On that you can rely / No matter what the future brings…
Rick: [rushing up] Sam, I thought I told you never to play…
[Rick sees Ilsa. Sam closes the piano and rolls it away]
@gailcalled thanks for making this a great thread
@oneye: I asked this question ( and gave you attribution) at a small dinner party Saturday night. SRM’s SOME LIKE IT HOT dialog from the closing scene was everyone’s favorite. Then came the lines from Casablanca and Gone With The Wind, To Have and Have Not, Bond movies, Jaws, and some Woody Allen.
Wonderful question, by the way. I wish that people would use a little punctuation for clarity, however.
I’m sorry I’m bad at punctustion will try to be better. and thanks again
