Star Wars had "May the force be with you"
A Few Good Men had "You can't handle the truth"

What would u say is the most recognizable line from Purple Rain?

My vote would be "WHHAAAAAT'S THE MATTER WITH THIS HOUSE!!"

[added the 'nsfw' disclaimer, since there's boobage on here now --Dansa]

"ANSWER ME, MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

IT'S EASILY:

"You have to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka"


CLASSIC! LOL!

"Nobody Digs Your Music But Yourself"
OR
"I've Got A Brass WaterBed"

UTCM had alot more great one-liners in my opinion but as for Purple Rain
I'll have to think about it.

Yeah I think I'll co-sign this one

I've never heard any of those lines quoted, aside from the infamous "Lake Minnetonka" quote.

That scene is hilarious for ONE REASON = THAT "PRINCE-SPIN" he does after he says it!

Some of y'all are quoting what your FAVORITE line from PR is, but he said what's the most FAMOUS line and again, it HAS to be:

"You have to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka"

There is NO LINE in PR more famous than that one! LOL!

Anxiety said:

oh shite

another memorable one to me is:

"I've got Wendy's periods reversed, about every 28 days she starts acting nice"

But yeah the Lake Minettonka one is the most famous.

"Either somebody put something in my drink or you're the finest muthafucka in the place tonight"

Eroticist said:

I second that one!

i think its "God's" got Wendy's periods reversed....

sweet said:

i knew listening to loud music for long periods of time would have some bad effect at some point

Eroticist said:

thats 2 true...besides, the spin is hott

PraiseDaMan said:

i thought it was "or u the finest muthafucka i seen in ages"



i coulda been hearin it wrong though

namepeace said:

It is definitely THE line, and my theory is that it's the line that signals Appolonia's about to bare her apples. That and the fact the joke is funny and memorable (then again it could just be the apples).

"How's the family?"

"Nobody digs your music but yourself"

"You long haired faggot"

"Lady's and gentlemen . . . The Revolution"

"I want to see some asses wigglin, I want some perfection"

"Don't I keep the heat on?"

"Never get married"

all ya'll are wrong (yes, even those of ya'll votin for the "answer me motherfucker" stuff even though that one gets credit)...the most famous line of the movie is as follows:

"morris day, who do you think you are?! you know i waited up all NIGHT for you! i'm so TIRED of you doin' this to me--who in the FUCK do you think i am?!!!!?!oneone!!one111!!!???"

"Purrrrrple Rain, Purple Rain" I can't say ANYTHING about Prince without people saying "oh, blah blah blah purple rain"

darlinkia said:

My buddies and I crack up cuz we realized after Prince did it, THAT THERE WAS NO NEED OR REASON FOR HIM TO EVEN SPIN IN THE 1ST FUCKING PLACE!

Aerogram said:

Sadly enough, I've used that line on a couple of unsuspecting (Ok, DUMB AS HELL) females back in the day. The things women will do to impress a dude...who's only out for the ass!

Eroticist said:

regardless, that spin was tight.

donnyenglish said:

"Don't I keep the heat on" was FUCKIN' HILARIOUS! LOL! You a cold muthafucka when the BEST you do for you wife is tell her "Don't I keep the heat on?" LOL! Clarence Williams was COLD BROTHA!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

LOL! I just watch it solely for the comical factor now!

glamslamkid said:

Believe me, I hear what u're sayin' - but then again, look how many replies I've gotten already...I've been on the ORG for 3 years and never got this much of a response from one thread!

i'd also like to nominate all of the 3 or so scenes in the movie where p used cusswords, cuz he sounded dorky as hell.

Eroticist said:

Damn...Now that I think about it...I miss Appolonia's titties.
