A further question if you're asking us to translate the line into English if I include "Hasta la vista, baby" - Terminator 2, do you want that to be included as "Goodbye, baby"? 

 

 

aaaahhhaha you continue to stun me JCS.

[Daxtreme]

not running the show but I would say that if the movie line is in a foreign language but in an English-speaking movie then it's probably OK for it to be foreign? Or else it would probably have been translated.

 

Or if it's so iconic that we don't need a translation then it's fine?

I think it might be easier to just say that this is from English speaking only films....in other words, it's a Hollywood film...see only JCS makes this difficult.....we ran into none of these issues last time around because everyone knows what to do.

I agree with this. It's just easier in the long run.

 

Though it does make me sad one of the lines that will forever stick with me I can't use. "We'll be joining Daddy soon." Said by a mother to her children as Godzilla closes in on them, from the original Godzilla.

[Daxtreme]

Can't we just submit a foreign-language line along with the translation?

 

I think that would be fair, and attend to JCS' point.

 

edit: Also, feel free to translate Hasta la vista baby all you want? lol

arent you a little short to be a storm trooper

[rukaio101]

You know, part of me thinks we should just be allowed to include the entire Black Knight scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There are like 5 lines in that exchange alone that could easily make my list.

 

Also, just to throw out a less obvious FYC, I've realised there are actually a ton of really fantastic lines in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan that more than deserve a place on this list. I'm honestly kind of amazed that none of them made the previous list.

 

• "The Needs of the Many outweigh the Needs of the Few."
• "Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."
• "I have been... and always shall be... your friend."
• "He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up!"
• "I've done far worse than kill you. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her; marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet... buried alive! Buried alive...!"
• "Ah, Kirk, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? Well, it is very cold in space..."
• "To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!" (Okay, technically, that's Moby Dick, but still.)

 

And of course, the old classic...

 

KHAAAAAAAAANNNNN!

[The Stingray]

You're ghostin' us, motherfucker.

She says the jungle... it just came alive and took him.

You ain't afraid of no man.
There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man.

You saying that Blain and Hawkins were killed by a fucking lizard?

If it bleeds, we can kill it.

 

Voodoo magic. Fucking voodoo magic, man!

You can't see the eyes of the demon, until him come callin'.

This is dread, man. Truly dread.

He's on safari. The lions, the tigers, the bears... oh, my!

How the fuck has this classic somehow not been mentioned yet:

 

"Honey, your car is in a tree around the corner." - Twister

[TomCruiseTop]

Quote

You just spoke of Jesus. Perhaps he was born and crucified to reconcile God and man. Jesus came from God, so he is all-powerful. And if He died on the cross it was predetermined and His crucifixion and death were God's will. That would have aroused hatred not in those that crucified him but in those that loved him if they had been near him at that moment, because they loved him as a man only. But if He, of His own will, left them, He displayed injustice, or even cruelty. Maybe those who crucified him loved him because they helped in this divine plan.

One of my all time favorites.

Stay free, available, like me. Never get married. Never choose. Even in love, it's better to be chosen.

I'm really glad you made this topic baumer, really having a good time revisiting some of my old notebooks.
