DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat"

Just watching Jaws (one of my favorite movies, especially during the summer) and it led to a family wide discussion. What single line of dialogue is the most recognizable in the history of cinema? In other words, just by saying that single line, it would instantly be identified by even the most novel movie fans.

My vote:
"You're gonna need a bigger boat"


A few others that were mentioned:
"Toto, I have a feeling we aren't in Kansas anymore"
"Luke, I am your father"
"Life is like a box of chocolates"

“Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac...It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!” Caddyshack, 1980

"Say hello to my little friend!"

"Its a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes."

"I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart!"

"Tattaglia's a pimp. He could've never outfought Santino. But I didn't know until today that it was Barzini all along."

"Leave the gun, take the cannoli."

"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."

"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

But you don't have to call me Shirley.

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

"What we have here is a failure to communicate."

"Some folks call it a Sling Blade. I call it a Kaiser Blade."

"Get busy living, or get busy dying..."
-Red Redding, The Shawshank Redemption

"Wyoming"

and

"This is this"

can anyone guess the movies?

You can’t handle the truth!

Walter Sobchak, The Big Lebowski: "This is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules."

How memorable can this quote be if it’s not even correct?

My Top 10 (no cussing):
“No, I am your father”
“How do you like them apples?”
“How’s your burger?”
“You can't handle the truth!”
“I'll be back.”
“If you build it, he will come.”
“There's no crying in baseball!” (Which is one of my favorite all-time scenes)
“My precious.”
“That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"
“Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.”

Dog Day Afternoon?

Btw, what about Bogart's line to Bacall(??) at the of Casablanca?

Peter Gibbons, "Office Space":

"So I was sitting in my cubicle today and I realized ever since I started working every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

*************************

Samir & Michael, "Office Space":

Samir: No one in this country can pronounce my name right. I mean it's not that hard. I mean, 'Ni-i-na-najaad', Niinanajaad.

Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.

Samir: You know, there's nothing wrong with that name.

Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it. Until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning grammys.

Samir: Well, if it bothers you that much, why don't you just go by Mike; instead of Michael?

Michael Bolton: No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

"Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!"

They found Rambo's body. As a matter of fact, it stole an army truck, and blew up a gas station the other side of town.

They drew first blood, not me.

If he dies, he dies.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.

"But you don't have any legs, lieutenant Dan".

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Return of the Pink Panther (1975):

Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau as swinger Guy Gadbois propositioning Lady Litton - "Would you think it naughty of me to buy you a drink?"

Lady Litton - "But you already have."

Clouseau - (laughing) "I know that, I know that."

Speaking of Peter Sellers.

You're gonna need a bigger boat, is not the most famous line to reference the Jaws franchise of movies.
Though it may not be a line in the movies it's

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water;"

I thought this topic was about the 60 year old man who died of a shark attack this week.
Back to movies.

for the whole history of cinema it would have to be
"Frankly my dear"

Pink Panther Strikes Again (1977):

Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau as Professor Guy Gadbois (international authority on European Castles) to Innkeeper - "Does your dog bite?"

Innkeeper: "Nope."

(Sellers bends down, tries to pet dog, dog viciously bites him.)

Sellers - "I thought you said your dog didn't bite!"

Innkeeper - "That is not my dog."

" Oh you fell for the oldest trick in the book, the 2nd of course is don't get involved in a land war in Asia, but the first is, Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, Ahahahahahaha- hahahahahaha"

"Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 at bats is 50 points, okay? There's 6 months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - a gorp... you get a groundball, you get a groundball with eyes... you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week... and you're in Yankee Stadium."
-- Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) in Bull Durham

Jaws is an absolute must for the month of June. I'm on vacation starting June 1, and you better believe it'll be on my dvd player at some point. It's the perfect early summer movie. It never gets old. The 3 main characters mesh so well together. It's without a doubt my favorite movie of all time, since I was a little kid.

I was eight years old when my mom took us kids to see Jaws. It may be too intense for an 8 year old

I agree Sperg .. just awesome acting and cinematography

I have a healthy respect/fear of the ocean. I’m not a big fan of swimming in it at least not out very deep. I don’t know that I’d just swim off a boat in the open ocean. When I use to scuba I didn’t feel as vulnerable as I felt more a part of the ecosystem and less like bait on the surface.

Ka’anapali Beach is one of my favorite beaches on Maui. One I frequent when I vacation there.

Sharks are apex predators. I’d rather walk across an African safari than swim in open ocean. At least I’d have a chance at seeing a lion coming. Maybe have a chance to spook it off.

good point ... for us, being fast and in our element in the water just isn't nearly good enough to have a 1% fighting chance

Oh Captain, my Captain

When it comes to movies, I usually need action or suspense. Or comedy. Movies like Dead Poet's Society is not really in my sweet spot. But I love the movie.

The last scene, where some of those institutionalized boys decide to think for themselves and do what they think is right, and damn the consequences, is a fantastic scene.

Marty McFly:
Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?

Dr. Emmett Brown:
The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

Buck: Well, well, well, they certainly are scraping the bottom of the barrel for cheerleaders these days.

Tia: What are you doing here?

Buck: We were just driving by to get some ice cream. Thought you might like to join us.

Tia: I said I would be home at 10. It's not even 9!

Buck: Who said anything about that? I thought you might like to join us for some ice cream. Maybe your Bug here can join us. We can talk about burying the hatchet. You know what a hatchet is, don't you, Bug?

Bug: It's an ax?

Buck: Sort of, yeah, yeah. I got one in my car if you'd like to see it.

Bug: I'll pass.

Buck: Fair enough. I like to carry it, you never know when you're going to need it. A situation may come up, say, for example, someone has been drinking, and about to drive a loved one home, then I'd like to know I have it. Not to kill, no. Just to maim. Take a little off the shoulder. Swish! The elbow. Slash! Shave a little meat off the old kneecap. Fowap! Ooooo! You got both kneecaps? I like to keep mine razor sharp. Sharp enough you can shave with it. Why, I've been known to circumcise a gnat. You're not a gnat, are you, Bug? Wait a minute, bug, gnat. Is there a little similarity? Whoaaa, I think there is! Ha ha ha. You understand what I'm talking about? I don't think you do. I'll be right back. Heh heh heh heh.
[walks away]

Tia: I'm sorry.

Bug: Look, I think you'd better split. I don't exactly want him to go berserk with an ax on me.

Tia: He's all talk.

[Buck pulls out a small hatchet from his car]
Buck: Here it is! Come over, come on, I want to show it to you. Maybe later. Okay.

[Buck's beat-up old car pulls up]
Bug: Ever hear of a tune-up? Hee hee hee hee hee.

Buck: [Mockingly] Ah-hee-hee-hee! Ever hear of a ritual killing? Ah-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!

Bug: I don't get it.

Buck: You gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one. Ah-hee-hee-hee-hee.

squeal like a pig

Inconceivable.

OK gotta do it....LOL

"Good velocity..."
"Sounded like it."

"Yo Bartender, Jobu needs a refill..."

"Lou, it's Charlie Donovan with the Cleveland Indians. How would you like to manage the Indians this year?!!!"
"Gee...I don't know..."
"What do you mean, you don't know. This is a chance to manage in the big leagues"
"Lemme think it over, will ya, Charlie? I got a guy on the other line about some white walls."

"I thought you said we didn't have any high priced talent."
"Forgot about Dorn. Cause he's only high priced."

"And the Indians drop this one, 6-to-one to the Rangers. For the Indians, one run on, let's see, one hit...that's all we got? One god-damned hit?"

"Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor."

"Forget about the curve ball Ricky, give him the heater!"

"Juuuusssst a Bit Outside"

He got a real purdy mouth aint he?

I see we got some Dulin Banjo fans in the audience.
