Quotes from movies have a strange way of making their way into modern phraseology and as such enter the world of modern language as opposed to that of movie quotation. Others are sampled and placed into songs to further enhance their mood by musicians and bands.
Here's a collection of my favourite ten. Some have made their way into phraseology and others have been sampled, some have been overlooked
"Rosebud" Charles Foster Kane in Citizen Kane
"We're gonna' need a bigger boat" Chief Brody in Jaws
"Are you gonna' bark all day little doggy, or are ya' gonna' bite?" Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs
"That's it man, game over!" Private Hudson in Aliens
"We'll tear your soul apart." Lead Cenobite in Hellraiser
"You talkin' to me?" and "This whole neighbourhood just needs flushing down the f*ing toilet" Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver
"I've got a bad feeling about this." several characters in the Star Wars saga
"I don't have time for this Mickey Mouse bulls*!" Stansfield in Leon
"What we've got here is failure to communicate." Captain in Cool Hand Luke
And my favourite of all time
"Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does he do, I swear for his own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste but don't swallow. And while you're jumping from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughing his sick, f*ing ass off!" John Milton in The Devil's Advocate
