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"

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?

“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.
