    Tombstone is a very quotable movie. I can’t choose one quote from it (most of the really good ones depend on lead-up lines or context), but a lot of them can be seen here.

    Speaking of Kurt Russell, one of my favorite quotes from Big Trouble in Little China goes:

    “…you remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: ‘Have ya paid your dues, Jack?’ Yessir, the check is in the mail.”

    Bottle Rocket is another very quotable movie. Here’s an example (spoken by Luke Wilson’s character Anthony, who just got out of a voluntary mental institution:

    “One morning, over at Elizabeth’s beach house, she asked me if I’d rather go water-skiing or lay out. And I realized that not only did I not want to answer THAT question, but I never wanted to answer another water-sports question, or see any of these people again for the rest of my life.”

    “You’re so money, you don’t even know.” – Swingers

    I know… this makes me look like a frat boy. But it was a great movie before the keg-stand people made their own.

    Fuckin Fratties.

    1. A gun rack… a gun rack. I don’t even own *a* gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do… with a gun rack?
    2. Samsonite! I was way off! I knew it started with an S, though
    3.I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. ln the morning, if my face is a little pufffy, I’ll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the icepack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser. Then a honey-almond bodyscrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gelscrub.Then I apply an herb mint facialmasque, which leave on forten minutes while I preparethe rest of my routine.
    lotion.

    “Troy! If you touch that mirror again, I swear to god I’m gonna smack you in the face!”
    and a close second…
    “I freaked out, joined the army, went into business for myself, I’m a professional killer!”

    from Stroszek

    Deputy Sheriff: “We have a 10-80 out here, a truck on fire, we have a man on the lift. We are unable to find the switch to turn the lift off, can’t stop the dancing chickens. Send an electrician, we’re standing by. ”

    “Well baby you’re already in that cage, and you built it yourself… because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself”

    that..and pretty much every quote from So I Married an Axe Murderer. And, like Jake, I do know all the quotes from Tombstone, but I tend to save use of them for visits with my dad.

    I have two. The three Amigos…

    “In a way, all of us have an El Guapo to face someday
    For some shyness might be their El Guapo
    For others a lack of education might be their El Guapo
    For us, El Guapo is a big Dangerous guy who wants to kill us
    But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Santo Poco will conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be the actual El Guapo”

    My Man Godfrey…
    “Leave Irene alone. Godfrey is the first thing she’s shown affection for since her Pomeranian died last summer.”

    “Well, it’s cold outside. A man’s gotta do something to keep warm.”
    Drunken Santa Claus when caught drinking from Miracle on 34th Street
    for some reason this was the most memorable line to me and I have been quoting it since I was a little girl

    Also “Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?” and “You can’t do this to me, I’m an AMERICAN!”
