Silence Earthling! My Name Is Darth Vader!

A Few Good Men





Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee (Tom Cruise): I think I'm entitled to them.
Jessep: You want answers?
Kaffee: I want the truth!
Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Kaffee: Did you order the code red?
Jessep: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do.
Kaffee: Did you order the code red?
Jessep: You're goddamn right I did!!

Also, from Pulp Fiction



VINCENT
You'll dig it the most. But you
know what the funniest thing about
Europe is?

JULES
What?

VINCENT
It's the little differences. A
lotta the same shit we got here,
they got there, but there they're a
little different.

JULES
Examples?

VINCENT
Well, in Amsterdam, you can buy
beer in a movie theatre. And I
don't mean in a paper cup either.
They give you a glass of beer, like
in a bar. In Paris, you can buy
beer at MacDonald's. Also, you
know what they call a Quarter
Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

JULES
They don't call it a Quarter
Pounder with Cheese?

VINCENT
No, they got the metric system
there, they wouldn't know what the
fuck a Quarter Pounder is.

JULES
What'd they call it?

VINCENT
Royale with Cheese.

JULES
(repeating)
Royale with Cheese. What'd they
call a Big Mac?

VINCENT
Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call
it Le Big Mac.

JULES
What do they call a Whopper?

VINCENT
I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger
King. But you know what they put
on french fries in Holland instead
of ketchup?

JULES
What?

VINCENT
Mayonnaise.

JULES
Goddamn!

VINCENT
I seen 'em do it. And I don't mean
a little bit on the side of the
plate, they fuckin' drown 'em in
it.

JULES
Uuccch!

"Marriage! Marriage is what bwings us together.
That bwessed event. the dweam within a dweam..." from The Princess Bride.

I would have to say that one of the newest scenes that I think is perfect (and is far beyond the skills of any other famous director) is the first encounter with the alien mahicnes in the new film War of the Worlds. When the first leg comes up, you think "what the hell?" It looks like three big retro flexible neck metal bulbs that extend with a very mechanical noise. It seems very limited. then it shoots up into the air, like hot air balloon, all three extensions waving almost weightlessly, then it arcs down at a tremendous speed and hits the ground with tons of weight and force, and you realize those are just its TOES.

As a seasoned scifi nut, I went through three shifts of perception, ending in intense recognition in just one shot of this incredibly entertaining scene.


[Edited 8/3/05 7:59am]

Close Encounters of the Third Kind, when he starts sculpting that mountain out of his mashed potato and his kids look on mortified.

Another one from The Princess Bride.
When Fesik is dressed as the dread pirat Roberts.
Westley: Give us the gate key
Chief: What gate key, I don't have any gate key
Westley: Fesik, tear his arms apart
Cheif: Oh, you mean this gate key?

that's my favorite movie of all time!

Funny flick, that one!

From the Godfather:


"So the next day, my father went to see him; only this time with Luca Brasi. An' within an hour, he signed a release, for a certified check for $1000. [Kay: "How'd he do that?"] My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse. [Kay: "What was that?"] Luca Brasi held a gun to his head and my father assured him that either his brains, or his signature, would be on the contract. That's a true story. That's my family, Kay, it's not me."


Michael and Kay conversing


"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."


Clemenza to Rocco



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


Clemenza to Sonny

How about the scene from The Godfather Pt. II, when Michael (Al Pacino) meets with Tom (Robert Duvall) shortly after the attempted hit in his bedroom. That was classic. Especially the last line:

One thing Pop taught me was to try to think as people around you think. Now on that basis anything's possible.
