The Top 50 Movie Characters of All Time

[ZapRowsdower]

#50

One of those instances where you just wanna root for the bad guy, and let me tell ya, this guy is BAD. Holding up liquor stores, taking families hostage, but in the end, you can't help but love this guy.

"I know that I have put you through hell, and I know that I have been one rough pecker. But from here on, you are all in my cool book."

"I may be a bastard, but I'm not a fucking bastard."

"All right, vampire killers... let's kill some fucking vampires."

"Everybody be cool. YOU - be cool."

"Peachy! Why shouldn't I be? The world's my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a wooden stake in my brother's heart because he turned into a vampire, even though I don't believe in vampires. Aside from that unfortunate business, everything's hunky-dory."

"Low profile. Do you know what the words "low profile" mean?"

"So what are you, Jacob? A faithless preacher? Or a mean motherfuckin' servant of God?"

"Do you think this is who I am? I am a professional thief, I don't run around killing people I don't have to."

"If you try to run, I've got six little friends and they can all run faster than you can."

"No thanks. I've already had a wife."

#49

The creepiest character ever to be portrayed on screen. Seriously, this chick sent people running out of the theaters screaming.

"Your mother's in here, Karras. Would you like to leave a message? I'll see that she gets it."

"Your mother sucks cocks in Hell, Karras, you faithless slime."

"Let Jesus fuck you, let Jesus fuck you. Let him fuck you."

"Lick me, Lick me."

"Do you know what she did, your thingying daughter?'

"Keep away. The sow is mine."

"Stick your cock up her ass, you motherfucking worthless cocksucker."

#48

Quite possibly one of the greatest performances of all time, passing the test of time with flying colors, still cherished today as one of the greatest characters of all time, this man, the ultimate underdog.

"You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading The Land of the Free in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that."

"Either I'm dead right, or I'm crazy!"

"Just get up off the ground, that's all I ask. Get up there with that lady that's up on top of this Capitol dome, that lady that stands for liberty. Take a look at this country through her eyes if you really want to see something. And you won't just see scenery; you'll see the whole parade of what Man's carved out for himself, after centuries of fighting. Fighting for something better than just jungle law, fighting so's he can stand on his own two feet, free and decent, like he was created, no matter what his race, color, or creed. That's what you'd see. There's no place out there for graft, or greed, or lies, or compromise with human liberties. And, uh, if that's what the grownups have done with this world that was given to them, then we'd better get those boys' camps started fast and see what the kids can do. And it's not too late, because this country is bigger than the Taylors, or you, or me, or anything else. Great principles don't get lost once they come to light. They're right here; you just have to see them again!"

#47

Another bad guy we tend to want to root for, except this guy is really evil... or is he?

"You preach about waiting for love. Well, here it is, right in front of you, and you're going to turn your back on it. So that makes you a hypocrite."

"We've done some pretty fucked up shit in our time but this... I mean, we're destroying an innocent girl. You do realize that?"

"I didn't know it was asshole day at the Valmont house."

"I'm sick of sleeping with these insipid Manhattan debutantes. Nothing shocks them anymore."

#46

Ultimately one of the greatest characters of all time, and I'm shocked to see that he only received one vote, the biggest hardass in American cinema.

"Are you quitting on me? Well, are you? Then quit, you slimy fucking walrus-looking piece of shit. Get the fuck off of my obstacle. Get the fuck down off of my obstacle. Now. Move it. I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world. I will motivate you, Private Pyle, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo."

"God has a hard on for Marines, because we kill everything we see. He plays His games, we play ours. To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls. God was here before the Marine Corps, so you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the corps."

"Oh that's right, Private Pyle, don't make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle. If God would have wanted you up there he would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't he?"

"Were you born worthless, or did you have to work at it?"

"I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddam common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I'll be watching you."

"Private Pyle, I'm gonna give you three seconds, exactly three fuckin' seconds, to wipe that stupid lookin' grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull fuck you."

"Bullshit. It looks to me like the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress."

"Pyle, you climb obstacles like old people fuck."

"Hell I like you, you can come over to my house and fuck my sister."

"Holy dog shit. Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?"

"You little scumbag. I got your name, I got your ass. You will not laugh, you will not cry, you will learn by the numbers I will teach you. Now get up, get on your feet. You had best un-fuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck."

#45
I can't do much commenting on this character as I am not very familiar with him. I am aware of the movie he is from though.

"Biology and other peoples' opinions conspired to keep us childless."

"There's right and there's right and never the t'wain shall meet."

"Sometimes it's a hard world for small things."

"And make it quick, I'm in dutch with the wife."

"And this here's the TV. Two hours a day, either educational or football, so you don't ruin your appreciation of the finer things."

"I tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn't easy with that son' bitch Reagan in the White House."

#44

Considered by many the greatest small role in history, this man adds a special ingredient to an already great comedy, and that's the ingredient of random. I'm sure the few lines he has had in the filmed are memorized by many.

"You ready to be fucked man? I see you rolled your way into the semis. Dios mio, man. Liam and me, we're gonna fuck you up."

"Let me tell you something, bandejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes 'click.'"

"You said it man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus."

"What is this 'day of rest' shit? What is this bullshit, man? I don't fucking care! It don't matter to Jesus! But you're not fooling me! You might fool the fucks in the league office, but you don't fool Jesus! It's bush league psych-out stuff! Laughable, man! I would've fucked you in the ass Saturday, I'll fuck you in the ass next Wednesday instead!"

#43

One of the original stoners, paving the way for people like Jay, Silent Bob, and most recently, Harold and Kumar. This guy started it all.

"This is U.S. History, I see the globe right there. "

"Aloha, Mr. Hand."

"All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine."

"People on 'ludes should not drive."

"That was my skull! I'm so wasted!"

"So what Jefferson was saying was 'Hey! You know, we left this England place because it was bogus. So if we don't get some cool rules ourselves, pronto, we'll just be bogus too.' Yeah?"

#42

I can't say much without giving this guy away, but let's just say that his name is a household word.

"Listen, I can't get involved. I've got work to do. It's not that I like the Empire; I hate it. But there's nothing I can do about it right now... It's all such a long way from here."

"I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home. They're not much bigger than two meters."

"I have a very bad feeling about this."

"If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from."

#41

I would simply have to utter the actor's name and wouldn't need to explain any further... but you're still gonna have to guess it.

"We've been going about this all wrong, this Mr. Stay Puft's okay, he's a sailor, he's in New York, we get this guy laid we won't have any trouble."

"Hee hee. 'Get her.' That was your whole plan. I like it; it was scientific."

"Mother pus bucket."

"We came, we saw, we kicked its ass."

"Somebody blows their nose and you want to keep it?"

"24 hours a day, seven days a week. No job is too big, no fee is too big."

"Back off man. I'm a scientist."

"This chick is *toast*."

#40

One of those truly unforgettable characters, a name half immortalized by the movie it came from, and half immortalized by a musical rendition of the movie concocted by Matt Groening. If you don't know this name, you shouldn't be here.

"Be careful what you look for Taylor, you may not like what you find."

"Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But your behavior studies are another matter. To suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Why, man is a nuisance. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival."

"Ah, yes -- the young ape with a shovel. I hear you're planning another archeological expedition. Cornelius, a friendly word of warning -- as you dig for artifacts, be sure you don't bury your reputation."

"You are a menace. A walking pestilence."

"You are right, I have always known about man. From the evidence, I believe his wisdom must walk hand and hand with his idiocy. His emotions must rule his brain. He must be a warlike creature who gives battle to everything around him, even himself."

"The Forbidden Zone was once a paradise. Your breed made a desert of it, ages ago."

#39

I'll agree to the character, but I'm not the biggest fan of the actor who plays him. Still, this man is undeniably one of the greatest characters of all time. Sure, the delivery wasn't all that great, but I suppose it works.

"They say most of your brain shuts down during cryo-sleep. All but the primitive side, the animal side. No wonder I'm still awake."

"All you people are so scared of me. But it ain't me you gotta worry about now."

"Back to the ship, huh? Just huddled together, until the lights burn out? 'Til you can't see what's eating you? Is that the big plan?"

"I absolutely believe in God... and I absolutely hate the fucker."

"Like I said, it ain't me you should be worrying about."

"Did not know who he was fuckin with."

"Once the killing starts, this psycho fuck family of ours is gonna rip itself apart."

"Not for me! Not for me!"

"You made three mistakes, first you took the job. Second you traveled light, a four man crew for me, fucking insulting. But most of all... Empty Gun Rack."

"It had to end sometime."

"I´ll kill you with my teacup."

"Kyra. Kyra! Get that ASS MOVING!"

#38

An unforgettable character from an unforgettable classic.

"Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks. This shark, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin', down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing."

"You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water, our shark."

"Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women."

"Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her viginity; not a bad record for this vicinity."

"I know a taxidermy man back home. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him."

"The thing about a shark, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white."

"Front, bow. Back, stern. If ya don't get it right, squirt, I throw your ass out the little round window on the side."

"Hooper ya idiot. Starboard. Aint you watchin' it?"

"Ah, the missus, Chief. If they don't like you going out, they'll love you comin' in."

"Stop playin' with yourself, Hooper."

#37

A surprise Oscar winner (not quite as much of a surprise as Adrien Brody, but still), this is a character you don't know whether you should love or hate.

"To protect the sheep you gotta catch the wolf, and it takes a wolf to catch a wolf."

"This shit's chess, it ain't checkers."

"I'm the reason they build prisons."

"King Kong ain't got shit on me!"

"Yeah whatever. Whatever the fuck ever."

"Yeah, you dead now. Turn down drugs to a dealer and the police chief is handing your wife a crisp flag. What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Why don't you entertain me with some of your bullshit."

"Believe it or not, I do try to do some good in the community."

"If I was a dealer, you'd be dead by now."

"Motha fucker. You shot me in the ass."

"Shit, you can shoot me, but you can't kill me."

"Oh, you federally fucked now."

"You disloyal, fool-ass, bitch-made punk."

"What a day. What a motherfuckin' day."

#36

The one character most of us strive to be like. He's got a shitload of courage to pull off the things that he does, and seriously, he just doesn't care. You gotta love someone who doesn't care AND can get away with it.

"Melodrama coming from you is about as natural as an oral bowel movement."

"My mom's been fuckin' a dead guy for 30 years. I call him dad."

"People say crazy shit during sex. One time I called this girl 'Mom.'"

"This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers."

"37."

"Hey, you and I have something in common - we both eat Chinese."

"Why don't you join her and make a little bathroom bam bam?"

"See? I told you that restraining order was a good idea."

"See? If you were funnier than that, ABC wouldn't have cancelled us."

[ZapRowsdower]

[ZapRowsdower]

#35

Ain't much that can be said about this character that hasn't already been said. And he ain't spoken much.

"Be careful how you're driving."

#34

For an actor whose talents were questionable, this was the perfect role. A role he could play. And it was a good role indeed... and if the first quote doesn't tell you who this is, you don't belong here.

"I'll be back."

"Fuck you, asshole."

"Hasta la vista, baby."

"Chill out, dickwad."

"No problemo."

"It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."

"I need a vacation."

"I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle!"

"I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do."

"I am unable to comply."

"You are terminated."

"I'm back."

"She'll be back."

"No, I am not shitting you."

"Desire is irrelevant. I am a machine."

"Your levity is good, it relieves tension and the fear of death."

#33

The ultimate good guy, praised and worshipped by many long before he was in any movie. I think I just gave it away right there, but who cares? Anyway, whether or not you believe in this guy, you got to admit the concept of someone enduring all that torture and death just so you can achieve eternal life is really uplifting.

"Judas. Do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"

"Woman, behold your son. Son, behold your mother."

"Forgive them, Father. They know not what they do."

"Take this and drink. This is my blood, spilled for you and for many. Do this in memory of me."

"See, mother, I make all things new."

"It is accomplished."

"The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

#32

I am surprised not to see this guy higher up on the list, as he IS one of the most praised movie characters of all time... especially on this board.

"Decide you must what to serve them best. If you leave now, help them you could but you would destroy all for which they have fought and suffered."

"Mudhole? Slimy? My home this is."

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

"No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try."

"No. There is another."

"I do, yes, I do. Sick have I become. Old and weak. When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not. Hmm?"

"Soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have. Twilight is upon me, soon night must fall."

"Luke, there... is... another... Sky... walker."

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you."

"Always two there are, no more no less. A master and an apprentice."

"Mmm. Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing."

#31

You people are so easily brainwashed!!! Just kidding. You'd be pretty naive to think this guy WOULDN'T make the list.

"Jimi Hendrix deceased, drugs. Janis Joplin deceased, alcohol. Mama Cass deceased, ham sandwich."

"Shall we shag now, or shall we shag later? How do you like to do it? Do you like to wash up first? You know, top and tails... whores bath? Personally before I'm on the job, I like to give my undercarriage a bit of a how's your father!"

"I've been frozen for 30 years. I've got to see if my bits and pieces are still working."

"That ain't no woman! It's a man, man!"

"I never forget a pussy... cat."

"Yeah, baby, yeah"

"Sex? Yes please!"

"Allow myself to introduce... myself."

"Judo chop!"

"That really hurt! I'm gonna have a lump there, you idiot! Who throws a shoe? Honestly! You fight like a woman!"

"Danger is my middle name."

"Do I make you horny? Randy? Do I make you horny, baby, yeah, do I?"

"No doubt, love, but as long as people are still having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners without protection while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I'll be sound as a pound!"

"Yeah, and I can't believe Liberace was gay. I mean, women loved him! I didn't see that one coming."

"Excuse me, but you didn't happen to see... Anything at all..."

"No, I mean, literally, HOW could you sleep with him? He's so fat. The mechanics of it is just mind-boggling."

"You know what's remarkable? That England looks in no way like Southern California."

"Are you kidding, baby? I put the 'grrrr' in swinger, baby! Yeah!"

"Well everyone has their own flying car, entire meals come in pill form, and the Earth is run by DAMN DIRTY APES."

"Shut up, you bastard... who is fat..."

"Oops. I did it again, baby."

"Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto."

"Moley, moley, moley, moley, moley."

"Nice to mole you... meet you. Nice to meet you, Mole."

"Yes, squid pro row."

[ZapRowsdower]

[ZapRowsdower]

#30

The best role this actor has ever had, and one of the coolest cop characters ever.

"Foul-mouthed? Fuck you!"

"Disturbing the peace? I got thrown out of a window! What's the fuckin' charge for getting pushed out of a moving car, huh? Jaywalking?"

"Hey Jenny, don't worry about me. We got coffee and cocaine here. We're gonna get wired and have a big party."

"The chief didn't chew it all off, you still got a little ass left."

"You believe that? What the fuck are you, cops or doormen?"

"Are you driving with your eyes open? Or you like using 'the force'?"

#29

Before Indiana Jones, there was this guy.

"I pray that I may never see the desert again. Hear me, God."

"My name is for my friends. None of my friends is a murderer!"

"I cannot fiddle but I can make a great state of a small city."

"The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts."

"So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people - greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are."

"Nothing is written."

"The truth is: I'm an ordinary man. You might've told me that, Dryden."

#28

The most foul-mouthed character in the history of cinema. This guy rules!

"What's up, baby? What's up, sluts?"

"I've had some girlfriends too, but all they wanted from me was weed and shit."

"I don't care if she's my cousin or not, I'm gonna knock those boots again tonight."

"Cock-smoker!"

"He cannot speak good like us."

"Man, that bastard's faster than Walt Flanagan's dog..."

"Where do you get these wonderful toys?"

"What you need is a fatty-boom-batty blunt, and I guarantee you'll be seeing a sailboat, an ocean, and maybe even some of those big-titted mermaids doing that lesbian shit."

"Come to me, son of Jor-El. Kneel before Zod. Snootchie-bootchies."

"Fly, Fatass, fly."

"Shithead here watched Empire and Jedi last week and ever since then, he's been trying to do the Jedi mind trick. The crazy fuck thinks he can levitate shit with his thoughts."

"What do you look so shocked for, man, fat bastard does this all the time. He thinks just cause he doesn't say anything, it'll have this huge impact when he does open his fuckin' mouth..."

"Jedi bitch."

"Snootchie Bootchies... who the fuck talks like that, that is fucking baby-talk..."

"Get offa me. I wanna see what's up. What the fuck is this shit? Who the fuck are you, lady? Why the fuck did you hug my head?"

"We figure an abortion clinic is a good place to meet loose women. Why else would they be there unless they like to fuck?"

"I feel like I'm Han Solo, and you're Chewie, and she's Ben Kenobi, and we're in that fucked-up bar."

"The whole fucking world's against us, dude, I swear to God."

"So that would make Bethany... part black."

"She's a slut. Bunnnng."

"No wonder he saw Jesus. Homey's rockin' the ganj."

"I am the master of the C.L.I.T. Remember this ficking face. Whenever you see C.L.I.T., you'll see this fucking face. I make that shit work. It does whatever the fuck I tell it to. No one rules the C.L.I.T like me. Not this little fuck, none of you little fucks out there. I AM THE C.L.I.T. COMMANDER! Remember that, commander of all C.L.I.T.s! When it comes down to business, this is what I do. I pinch it like this. OOH you little fuck. Then I rub my nose with it."

"Affleck, you the bomb in Phantoms. Yo."

"All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then you're all you motherfucks are next. Love, ___ and __________."

"Holy hell, is that monkey waving at us? Oh shit. It understood us. Maybe it's some kind of super monkey. What if there's more supermonkeys up at that lab? WHAT IF THEY'RE CREATING AN ARMY OF THEM? Holy shit. It must be a conspiracy like in the X-Files... ROSWELL style. This little monkey could be the fuckin' damn dirty ape responsible for the fall of the human race. In this world gone mad, we won't spank the monkey- the monkey will spank us. And after the fall of man, these monkey fucks'll start wearing our clothes and rebuilding the world in their image. OH and only those as super smart as me will be left alive to bitterly cry - DAMN YOUS. Goddamn yous all to hell."

#27

Another instance where the actor is less impressive than the character... his actions are more memorable than his words, but perhaps his words are somewhat memorable?

"Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger... and you give me my phone call."

"There is no spoon?"

"What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?"

"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you."

"I know kung fu."

#26

I'm surprised not to see this guy higher up on the list, considering his huge fanbase on the forum.

"Shop smart, shop S-mart!"

"See this? *This* is my *boom stick*! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. *You got that*?"

"Gimme some sugar, baby."

"Klaatu Barrada n... Necktie... Nickel... It's an "N" word, it's definitely an "N" word!"

"Hail to the king, baby."

[ZapRowsdower]

#25

This one, he's the quiet type.

"You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you."

"Adventure, excitement... a Jedi craves not these things."

"No, idiot. It was a mistake. I wasn't disgusted with her, I was afraid. At that moment, I felt small - like I'd lacked experience, like I'd never be on her level or never be enough for her or something. And what I didn't get was that she didn't care. She wasn't looking for that guy anymore. She was looking for me, for the Bob. But by the time I realized this, it was too late, you know. She'd moved on, and all I had to show for it was some foolish pride, which then gave way to regret. She was the girl, I know that now. But I pushed her away... So I've spent every day since then chasing Amy... So to speak."

"No ticket."

"The sign on the back of the car said 'Critters Of Hollywood', you dumb fuck."

#24

This is the character that made the movie. Even those who disliked the movie admit that this guy was one of the coolest characters they've ever seen.

"Are you a Mexi-CAN or a Mexi-CAN'T?"

"I couldn't find a briefcase small enough for 10,000 dollars."

"Why? Why would I want that? Why would I want bubblegum?"

"Well, I guess I should thank you for not sticking it up your ass."

"Okay, Okay. I'm going to freak right out."

"Mexico's my beat, and I'm walking it."

"Can you hear me now?... Fucking bells..."

"I can't see, fuck-mook. I have no eyes."

"That spill just cost you your life."

"Have you ever seen one of these? Have you ever used one? Don't ever because, they're very very bad. But right now I need you to aim it at the bad guy who's following us, and shoot him in the head."

"Oh yeah. Very matalo."

"El, you really must try this because it's puerco pibil. It's a slow-roasted pork, nothing fancy. It just happens to be my favorite, and I order it with a tequila and lime in every dive I go to in this country. And honestly, that is the best it's ever been anywhere. In fact, it's too good. It's so good that when I'm finished, I'll pay my check, walk straight into the kitchen and shoot the cook. Because that's what I do. I restore the balance to this country. And that is what I would like from you right now. Help keep the balance by pulling the trigger."

"You know that withholding vital information from a federal officer is a serious offense. Especially when that officer has paid handsomely for it and wouldn't think twice about ripping that patch off your eyehole and skull-fucking you to death."

Quite simply everyone's favorite eccentric scientist.

"The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"

"Radiation suit? Of course, because of all the fallout from the atomic wars."

"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit."

"You got no concept of time."

"Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely eighty-eight miles per hour the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine."

"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads."

"I'm sure in 1985, plutonium is available at every corner drugstore, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by."

"The appropriate question is WHEN the hell are they."

"Great Scott!"

#22

Some argue that his movies sucked after the first one, but you can't deny that the character is all kinds of COOL... or scary, whichever works better for you.

"This... is God."

"I'm gonna split you in two."

"Help yourself, fucker."

"You are all my children now."

"Who gives a fuck what you think?"

"You're mine now, piggy."

"How sweet. Fresh meat."

"You shouldn't have buried me. I'm not dead."

"How's this for a wet dream?"

"Madam, if I may. Bon apetit... bitch."

"Now I'm playing with power!"

"Pick a pet for the rugrat, bitch."

"How sweet, dark meat."

"Why won't you DIE?"

#21

Heineken, skip this one and let livingdeadgirl have it.

"Torture you? That's a good idea. I like that."

"If you're talking like a bitch, I'm gonna slap you like a bitch!"

"Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?"

"Hey Joe, you want me to shoot this guy?"

"All you can do is pray for a quick death, which you aren't going to get."

"Yeah, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. I told 'em not to touch the alarm, they touched it. If they hadn't done what I told 'em not to do, they'd still be alive today."

"I don't like alarms, Mr. White."

THIS is a surprise... not...

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

"All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not."

"Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."

"The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is - you DO NOT talk about Fight Club. Third rule of Fight Club, someone yells "Stop!", goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule, only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule, one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule, no shirt, no shoes. Seventh rule, fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule, if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight."

#19

Probably one of the greatest character studies ever, of someone who wanted his own life but fell victim to fate.

"That's my family, Kay. It's not me."

"Some people will pay a lot of money for that information; but then your daughter would lose a father, instead of gaining a husband."

"Fredo, you're my older brother and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Ever."

"It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business."

"Don't ask me about my business, Kay."

"I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!"

"There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."

"Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?"

#18

One of the coolest Sci-fi characters around.

"Well, you can forget your troubles with those Imperial slugs. I told you I'd outrun 'em... Don't everyone thank me at once."

"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."

"She'll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself."

"Watch your mouth, kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home."

"Wonderful girl. Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her."

"YAHOOOOO! You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home."

#17

One of the greatest gangsters of all time.

"In this day and age, what the fuck is this world coming to? I can't believe this, prejudice against - a Jew broad - prejudice against Italians."

"But, I'm funny how? Funny like a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh? I'm here to fuckin' amuse you?"

"Sure, mom, I settle down with a nice girl every night, then I'm free the next morning."

"What the fuck are you doing? You're hanging around my fuckin' neck like a vulture, like impending death."

#16

I'm only going to give you one quote. One quote. And if you don't get this, you are sentenced to spend a week face down in the mud.

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who do you think you're talking to? Oh yeah? Huh? Ok."

This is one guy who fooled everybody, including the audience. So we concede defeat and ultimately respect the man.

"What the cops never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody."

"Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is shit but, hey, I'm in a police station."

"Oh gee, thanks Dave, bang-up job so far. Extortion, coercion; you'll pardon me if I ask you to kiss my pucker."

"You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught, and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything it'll be to get rid of me. After that... my guess is you'll never hear from him again."

"To a cop the explanation's always simple. There's no mystery to the street, no arch criminal behind it all. If you find a body and you think his brother did it, you're gonna find out you're right."

"How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"

#14

Some consider it overrated, others consider it one of the greatest movies of all time. Whatever you think of it, you cannot deny that this film was carried on the shoulders of one man... this man.

"Mama always said, dying was a part of life."

"Mama says they was magic shoes. They could take me anywhere."

"Mama always said life was like a box a chocolates, never know what you're gonna get."

"Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running!"

"Stupid is as stupid does."

#13

Good job, everyone. I'm proud of you all for not overlooking this one.

"Which one of you nuts has got any guts?"

"That's right, Mr. Martini. There is an Easter Bunny."

"I must be crazy to be in a looney bin like this."

"In one week, I can put a bug so far up her ass, she don't know whether to shit or wind her wristwatch."

"Get out of my way son, you're usin' my oxygen."

#12

I knew as soon as I saw this movie, that this character would forever remain immortal in cinema. And why shouldn't he? I mean, he's extremely entertaining!

"Welcome to the Caribbean, luv."

"The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that some day. And me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?"

"She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really... except for Elizabeth, who is in fact, a woman."

"A wedding? I love weddings. Drinks all around."

"If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it."

"You need to find yourself a girl mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch are you?"

"Stop blowing holes in my ship!"

"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term."

#11

One of the coolest, most original action heroes of all time.

"It's strange how pulling a trigger is easier than playing the guitar. Easier to destroy, than to create."

"Give me the strength to be what I was, and forgive me for what I am."

"Bless me, Father, for I have just killed quite a few men."

"Then I guess I have no choice... but to kill you all."

"Any suggestions, Ms. 'Why don't we get a room on the 5th floor so we can see the beautiful sunset'?"

"Sons of Mexico, sir."

"Que quieres en la vida?"
