Monday Musings: What's the greatest movie line delivery of all time?

[joeypots]

Greatist? Lots of contenders.

[Chibearsv]

Since the best delivery of a line is the request, I submit the greatest line delivery ever. 

[SigmundChurchill]

These were some of my favorite monologue deliveries.

I must be mentally handicapped, I can't, for the life of me, think of a great movie quote. But then when I scroll through the submissions, I'm going "oh yeah that's a great one."

"She's got a great ass" from Heat is funny because me and my buddies always say that to each other.

"That's not your Mother. It's a MAN, baby."

[Montezüma]

[Ford2112]

Trautman 

Lol!

James Cagney in White Heat, "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!"

"Joey, Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

Little Miss Sunshine is as good as it gets. Watched it every year round Christmas with the family. Arkin's grandpa character is all-time. Tough to get a movie that packs so many punches, is raunchy, hilarious, and brings home important messages.

Truth! And all the scenes with the malfunctioning hornas funny as anything I’ve ever seen. Mostly because I’ve been through that, in multiple vehicles, and it ALWAYS happens at the worst possible times.

Frightening, isn't it?

Another few of my favs for the fun of it.

"Do you know what nemesis means?" from Snatch

"You think darkness is your ally" from Dark Knight Rises

"Men punch, children stab" from The Gentlemen

"Hello pretty" from Highlander

"The riddle of steel" from Conan

"Conan is too strong to cry, so I cry for him" from Conan

"When I was little my father was famous. He was the greatest Samurai in the empire. And he was the Shogun's decapitator. He cut off the heads of 131 lords." from Shogun Assassin. This movie was also playing towards the end of Kill Bill 2 when Uma put her daughter to bed to watch a comforting tale. Ha ha.

"I like big fat men like you. They make more noise when they hit the ground." from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

"You're an errand boy sent by grocery clerks" from Apocalypse Now.
