Ok, I saw a thread regarding best 'sayings' that influenced people and why.

I think some Movie quotes have affected the way I see the world, how about you guys???

" I LIKE IT!"
(Emeil shooting the BFG in Robocop1)

"All hail to the King, Baby"
Ash-Evil dead 2

"Do you want to come back to my place, Bouncy Bouncy?"
John Cleese-Flying Circus Translation sketch.

There should be a book of Arnold movie quotes. Also, Evil Dead has some great ones.

"What's this? First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me? Blow."

I use this one ALL THE TIME, to make many different points:

"It's not show friends...it's show BUSINESS." - Bob Sugar

A few off the top of my head:

"I'm sorry, I, uh... I ate a lot of sugar today."
- Ryan Reynolds, Blade Trinity

"I'm not a very good shot ... but the Samaritan here uses really big bullets."
- Ron Perlman, Hellboy

"Feel like I'm gonna break this damn thing."
- Will Smith, Men In Black

And my favorite Ash-ism:

"Groovy."
- Bruce Campbell, The Evil Dead

Trying to think of some good Arnold-isms, get back to you on that.

- Salvage

"You never say, 'I'm gonna fight you, Steve.' You just smile and act natural, and then you sucker-punch him."
-Steve Zissou, Live Aquatic with Steve Zissou

"Remember, remember the 5th of November. The gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."
-V, V for Vendetta

Hate to use it twice but..

"Best block is no be there"
Mr. Miyagi, The Karate Kid

Or how about

"Well that's it man. Game over man, game over!"
Hicks, Aliens

"Nazis, I really hate these guys" - Indiana Jones

"It's a TRAP!" - Admiral Akbar

"The prophecy will be fulfilled!!!" Wishmaster 3 (maybe 4).

You have to hear it to appreciate it. I defy anyone who hears the line to not laugh uncontrollably.

"Have fun storming the castle!"

"After decades of your pain, this will seem like a memory of heaven..." Pinhead, from one of the Hellraisers

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. " Batty, Blade Runner

Pretty much anything from Conan the Barbarian. Sparse dialog, but good!

"What'd he say?"
"Look, I washed for Supper."
-Saving Private Ryan

Alec Baldwin: "Psychically, I'm very well endowed"
Penelope Ann Miller: (Looks up and down his body) "I'll bet you are"
- The Shadow

"I would call it an implosive-explosive sub-atomic reaction"
"Or an Atomic Bomb"
"Hey - that's catchy"
- The Shadow

"Somone's coming"
(Body falls off high rise and lands just behind character)
- The Shadow

"Who's that?"
"Oh her? That's Margot Lane. What on earth do you see in her?"
"Uncle Wainwright, are you sure you're not dead?"
- The Shadow

"I dreamed I was on a deserted island. I was lying naked in the sand and the water was washing up over my feet. I was hot and cool all at the same time. It was amazing. What did you dream about"
"I dreamt I tore my face off and was someone else underneath."
"You have issues."
"I'm aware of that."
- Yes, The Shadow

Viperion

"We're scientists!"
Ghostbusters

"This is why we need jetpacks."
TMNT

"There's a hole in world, a big black pit. Filled with People who are filled with §hit, and the vermin of the world who live in it."
Sweeny Todd

"Did you ever kill anyone?"
"Yes, but they were all bad."
True Lies


this could go on forever

Commando:

General Kirby: "Did you leave anything for us John?"

Arnold: "Just bodies."

@Viperion

"The Shadow?"
"The Shadow!"
"The Shadow."
the gamers

"Pick a line from Star Wars episodes 1-3"

edit: For some reason I picked a movie with lines that were laughable.
I looked over the thread again...

Reading ftw

"Is that a grenade?"-Annie Paine after observing Frankenstein's (David Carridine) explosive device built into his hand.

"Yes, a Hand Grenade!"- Frankenstein, Death Race 2000


...and my all time favorite movie quote...

"Conan, what is best in life"
"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women"
- Conan the Barbarian

"I find your lack of faith disturbing"
- Darth Vader

"How do I know I can trust you?"
"I could give you my word as a Spaniard."
"No good, I've known too many Spaniards."

"Why is it that when you kill a man in the heat of battle it's heroic. Yet when you kill a man in the heat of passion, it's murder." - Wayne's World

Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it's true. [pause] This man has no dick.
