Oh awesome! I see we have a fellow Coen Brothers fan. O Brother Where Art Thou? and The Big Lebowski are some of my favorite movies. One line I love from The Big Lebowski is: "You're entering a world of pain son." and "This is what happens Larry! This is what happens when you *expletive* a stranger in the ass!"
I'm just going to do quotes from my favorite movie Super Troopers Captain O'Hagan I swear to God, I'll pistol whip the next guy who says shenaningans! These boys get that syrup in 'em, they get all antsy in their pantsy. I'll believe ya when me sh*t turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet. Foster Okie silly dilly dokie-o. I'm an idiot.

(Holds the bag of weed up) Littering... And meow for the best part of the whole movie: Larry Johnson (Jim Gaffigan): "Uh, sorry about that." Foster (Paul Soter): "Alright, meow, hand over your license and registration. Your registration? Hurry up meow." Larry Johnson: "Sorry." Foster: "There something funny here, boy?" Larry Johnson: "No, no, no." Foster: "Well, then, why you laughing, Mr. Larry Johnson? Alright meow, where were we?" Larry Johnson: "I'm sorry, are you saying meow?" Foster: "Am I saying meow?" Larry Johnson: "I-I-I thought--" Foster: "Don't think, boy. Meow, do you know how fast you were going? Meow, what is so damn funny?" Larry Johnson: "I could have sworn you said meow." Foster: "Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumping around all nimbly-bimbly from tree to tree?" Larry Johnson: "No, no." Foster: "Am I drinking milk from a saucer?" Larry Johnson: "No." Foster: "Well, do you see me eating mice? Now, you stop laughing right meow." Larry Johnson:"Yes, sir." Foster: "Meow, I'm gonna have to give you a ticket on this one." Larry Johnson: "But--" Foster: "No buts meow. That's the law. It's not so funny meow, is it?" "MEOW!"
I need to watch more movies. Most of these quotes being posted are ones I've never heard before. Jimmy Kimmel: [on Alaskan crab fishing] This must be a nightmare job for the camera crew, because-- Sig Hansen: [of the Northwestern crab fishing vessel] Tough! I don't care! From Jimmy Kimmel Live I remember when we watched that show almost every day. The Northwestern was always my favorite. Harry & Ron: Bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother!

Maybe this should go in the Movie thing, since it's become for more than just movies? I dunno. But on the topic...man, this is gonna be hard. I'll just list the first five I can think of. Windshield wiper washer fluid spraying in the air Head lice under hats lie in the headlights everywhere. -Bee of the Bird of the Moth, by They Might Be Giants. Six! Gluttony! Do not eat thy neighbor's wife's...popcorn! -Bank of Bad Habits, by Jimmy Buffett. I was born in a crossfire hurricane. -Jumpin' Jack Flash, by The Rolling Stones. To music!

And, in the end, The love you make Is equal to the love you take. -The End, by The Beatles. ...I'll be revisiting this thread, for sure. (I wish I could just have put in all of La Vie Boheme as a 'great song quote.')
I have more than five (some cursing) From Live Free or Die Hard John McClane: Mai? Asian chick, likes to kick people? Yeah, last time I saw her she was at the bottom of an elevator shaft with an SUV rammed up her ass. [recognizing female terrorist's voice over the police radio] Matt Farrell: Oh, my God... it's her. John McClane: "Her" who? Agent Johnson: What're you talking about? Matt Farrell: It's them. John McClane: Are you saying it's "them" them? Matt Farrell: I *swear* to you, I know her! I would know her voice anywhere! [McClane picks up handset] Matt Farrell: Don't say anything! Don't... John McClane: Just keep your mouth shut for a minute. [to terrorists over radio] John McClane: Hey, Metro, how's your day goin' over there? Yeah, you gotta be pretty, uh, crazy over there, what with all those 5-87's, huh? Mai Lihn: Yes, sir, we've had to dispatch all units. John McClane: [busting her out] Yeah, you had to dispatch all units for all the naked people walkin' around? Matt Farrell: You just killed a helicopter with a car! John McClane: I was out of bullets. John McClane: I know I'm not as smart as you guys at all this computer ****. But, hey... I'm still alive, ain't I? I mean, you've GOT to be running out of bad guys by now, right? Huh? Gabriel? Honestly, you can tell me. I mean, how does that work? Got some kind of service or something? Some kind of 800 number? 1-800-HENCHMEN? Oh, you know what? I bet you're still on hold with, "Can I get another dead Asian hooker bitch over here right away?" From Jurassic Park Muldoon: [Muldoon and Ellie have arrived at the site of the T-Rex attack] I think this was Gennaro. Dr. Ellie Sattler: [about 15 feet away] I think this was too John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked, nothing.

Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs... Dr. Ellie Sattler: Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth... Dr. Ian Malcolm: There. Look at this. See? See? I'm right again. Nobody could've predicted that Dr. Grant would suddenly, suddenly jump out of a moving vehicle. Dr. Ellie Sattler: Alan? Alan! [Jumps out of the vehicle] Dr. Ian Malcolm: There's, another example. See, here I'm now by myself, uh, er, talking to myself. That's, that's chaos theory. Dennis Nedry: [on computer] unh-unh-uh, you didn't say the magic word. Ray Arnold: PLEASE! GODAMMIT! I hate this hacker crap!
"Jesus lived in a cheap motel right off the Route 66" - Super Charger Heaven by White Zombie. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" - Intro to the song Angel of Death by Slayer. "While I relate this little bit, it happens more then I'd like to admit. Late at night, she knocks on my door. She's drunk again and lookin' to score. Now I know I should say no, but it's kinda hard to when she's ready to go. I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb. I'm just a sucker who's got no self esteem." - Self Esteem by The Offspring. "Independence limited. Freedom of choice is made for you my friend." - Eye of the Beholder by Metallica. "Drivers are rude, such attitudes. When I show my piece, complaints cease. Some thing's odd, feel like I'm God you stupid dumb sh*t goddamn mother f***er!" - Bad Habit by The Offspring.
This is even harder than the movie one! "Is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?" From Cooling by Tori Amos "You light a spark where others saw danger Forever more my heart belongs to this stranger." From 29 Poisons by Inga Liljestrom "Move with me, I'm strong enough To be weak in your arms." From Move With Me by Neneh Cherry "And there's a girl just falling in love near where the pianola stands" From Flame Trees by Cold Chisel "They got the mustard out." The entire lyrics for the song "The Mustard" by Joss Whedon. Ok, so I'm not going to call these the greatest lyrics of all time, but they all have particular significance for me...even The Mustard (Plus, I'm sure I'll be back )
"God said to Abraham kill me a son, Abe said man you must be putting me on" Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisited. I like this line cos you can almost hear Dylan laughing as he sings it. "No one i think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low" The Beatles- Strawberry Fields Forever This is John Lennon singing about the alienation and loneliness he feels due to his genius. I like it cos its so unsure of itself and lacks confidence. "Surfs Up Aboard a tidal wave. Come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave. I heard the word. Wonderful thing- A childrens song" The Beach Boys- Surfs Up After writing perhaps the greatest album of all time about love (Pet Sounds) Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys set about writing an album that would tell the history of the USA. Here Wilson is saying the American dream has failed and gone sour, the old generation must move aside for the young because they have failed.
Never gonna give you up... - Rick... Never gonna let you down... - Rick Never gonna fool around and hurt you! - Rick Chickety China the Chinese Chicken, you have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin! - Some band I forgot. First I was afraid, I was petrified! - Gloria
valiance, I LOVE the offspring as well. "I could paint a picture with a pen, but a song will only scratch the skin." -Gnarls Barkley
Kamikaze, my death is gain I've been marked by my Maker a peculiar display The high and lofty, they see me as weak 'Cause I won't live and die for the power that they seek - Jesus Freak by dc Talk What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak? What will people do when they find that it's true? I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak There ain't no disguin' the truth - Jesus Freak by dc Talk So don't blink if you wanna come cross the border Take a look around or come test the water We don't stop 'til we see the morning So welcome to the quiet before the storm hits - Ignition by tobyMac Hold up the flag 'cause it's ride or die - Ignition by tobyMac Just give me what I want and no one gets hurt - Vertigo by U2 It's You and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose And it's You and me and all of the people and I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes of You - You and Me by Lifehouse Before I die I wanna burn out bright - Burn out Bright by Switchfoot I have no fear of drowning It's the breathing that's taking all this work - Work by Jars of Clay Why are You still calling? You forgave, we forgot We're such experts at stalling We have lost the plot - Lost the Plot by Newsboys Yeah, I know, I love my music.
Forget dry land, I'd rather stand in the ocean and let the waves of devotion roll over me - Out of Control by John Reuben Why are those who are on the ground afraid of falling down? - Inside the Bubble by Smalltown Poets Been to 48 states and a few different worlds Beheld the blind tour guide and a pig wearing pearls I've seen grace under foot people fall in the street Or use it to wipe their feet Never the righteous man forsaken Never the righteous man - 48 States by Smalltown Poets Maybe redemption has stories to tell Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell Where can you run to escape from yourself? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Salvation is here - Dare You To Move by Switchfoot
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too. Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl, Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl. -All Along The WatchTower, by just about everyone... (though the link I posted is the most awesome version I've heard yet).
That's the first version of the song I'd heard. I tracked it down through searching for the lyrics. While that iteration is pretty good (I, especially, love the bass drum and Indian influence) I think the Jimi Hendrix version is a bit better. However, the BSG remake was well-suited for the show.
It was an interesting use of the song at the end of the third season, I must say. But it's one of my favourite songs
What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown "The Unforgiven" ~ Metallica Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel is just a freight train coming your way "No Leaf Clover" ~ Metallica The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice to change myself, I'd rather die, though they will not understand I won't make the greatest sacrifice; you can't predict where the outcome lies You'll never take me alive! "I'm Alive" ~ Disturbed Just because I feel that this song's chorus describes me better than any other song I've found. What's so civil about war anyway? "Civil War" Guns n' Roses I hear a voice inside, it's grown into a scream I'm not the next of them, I am the first of me 'Cause I can't live the lie, I am just what you see I'm not the next of them, I am the first of me. "The First of Me" ~ Hoobastank And I'll do one of my favorite ordinary quotes as well: "It's like staring into a backed-up toilet!" Dante, talking about one of his new enemies in Devil May Cry 3.
"Am I crazy, am I dreamin', Am I marryin' a demon, We could really raise the beam in makin' marriage a hell!" -I'll Never Tell, from Once More With Feeling. "Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies! ...or maybe midgets." -I've Got a Theory, from Once More With Feeling. "You can't always get what you want But if you try sometime, you find You get what you need." -You Can't Always Get What You Want, The Rolling Stones. "Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot." -Big Yellow Taxi, Joni Mitchell. "Roam if you want to, Roam around the world, Roam if you want to, Without wings, without wheels, Without anything but the love we feel." -Roam, The B-52s.
