technically I should be in the under-26 group but it's no biggie.

 

Anyways, 5 selections from me for now:

 

"I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper, I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)

 

"First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado, second prize is a set of steak knives, third prize is you're fired." (Glengarry Glen Ross)

 

"It's a terrible thing to hate your mother, but I didn't always hate her, when I was a child I only kind of disliked her." (The Manchurian Candidate- 1962)

 

"There are two kinds of people in this world: Those with loaded guns and those who dig, you dig." (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly)

 

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure." (Aliens)

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this one yet, my favourite movie line ever.(Well monologue) "Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians.How clear we make it. Oh my piglets, we are the origins of war: not history's forces, nor the times, nor justice, nor the lack of it, nor causes, nor religions, nor ideas, nor kinds of government, nor any other thing. We are the killers. We Breed War. We carry it like syphilis inside. Dead bodies rot in the fields and rivers because the livings ones are rotten. For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little - that's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for. We have such possibilities, my children. We could change the world." - Eleanor of Aquitaine, The Lion in Winter. (Or if monologues are not allowed, It's 1183 and we're barbarians. And I'm not quite sure how accurate that quote is. I did it verbatim cus I'm on my tablet and copying and pasting is a pain.)"That's all," - Miranda Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada"The truth? I don't even know what is the truth." - Sophie Zawistowski, Sophie's Choice"Go ahead. Make my day." - Harry Callahan, Dirty Harry"Bond. James Bond." - James Bond, Bond Movies"A Martini. Shaken. Not Stirred." -James Bond, Goldfinger"My Precious," - Gollum, LOTR"To live another person is to see the face of god," - Jean Valjean, Les Miserables"Carpe Diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary," - John Keating, Dead Poets Society"You're a wizard," -Hagrid, Potter 1

"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."- Airplane

 

"Killing is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like badwrong, or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab." - Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

 

"I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he fire six shots or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?" - Dirty Harry

 

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." - Taken

 

And of course, lest we forget that classic line from that even more classic film....

 

"Oh hai, Mark!" - The Room

"Well, nobody's perfect" - Some Like It Hot

"To tell you the truth, I lied a little" - Chinatown

"Welcome to the real world" - The Matrix

"A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars." - The Social Network

BTW, The Lion in Winter, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Goldfinger are all strictly UK productions, while The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is Spanish/Italian/German. So I'm not sure they count if we go by the original post's rules.

I think it's probably better if we made the rule just all English films. It makes more sense, imo.

OH, and just remembered probably my favorite quote ever from any romantic comedy. If it needs to be shortened, just take the bolded part.

 

"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." - Harry Burns, When Harry Met Sally

"Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange." - Inception

"You're asking me for Inception. I hope you do understand the gravity of that request." - Inception

"Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the... little emotions. In... you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?" - The Dark Knight

"Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight." - The Dark Knight

Guys keep in mind, the best 100 lines of all time aren't necessarily the lines that you think are the best.  These are lines that have transcended film and age and generations.  Something from TDKR really isn't going to make it past the first stage as it's too new.  And a quote from Hard to Kill or When Harry Met Sally won't really make it either.  There are 100 lines that have to be narrowed down from about 1000.  Make em good.
