Shawshank Redemption--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red: These walls are kind of funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them. That's institutionalized. They send you here for life, that's exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyways.
Andy Dufresne: Yeah. The funny thing is - on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.
Red: [Narrating] Get busy living, or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.
Red: [narrating] I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
Now from the movie SEVEn
[William Somerset looks at an object in the road.]
David Mills: What do you got?
William Somerset: Dead dog.
John Doe: I didn't do that.
Now from TITANIC
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: Tell us of the accommodations in steerage, Mr. Dawson. I hear they are quite good on this ship.
Jack: The best I've seen, ma'am. Hardly any rats.
Jack: I'm not an idiot. I know how the world works. I've got ten bucks in my pocket and nothing to offer you, and I know that. But I'm too involved now. You jump, I jump, remember? I can't turn away until I know you'll be alright
As far as quotes go, one of my favorites is "The American President", starring Michael Douglas. He is President Andrew Shephard.
President Andrew Shepherd: *The symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the land of the free. *
President Andrew Shepherd: You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil who is standing center stage advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.
President Andrew Shepherd: What I did tonight was not about political gain. Leon Kodak: Yes sir. But it can be, sir. What you did tonight was very presidential. President Andrew Shepherd: Leon, somewhere in Libya right now, a janitor's working the night shift at Libyan Intelligence headquarters. He's going about doing his job... because he has no idea, in about an hour he's going to die in a massive explosion. He's just going about his job, because he has no idea that about an hour ago I gave an order to have him killed. You've just seen me do the least presidential thing I do.
[Discussing a reprisal for an attack on US troops.] *
**A. J. MacInerney: Sir, it's immediate, it's decisive, it's low-risk, and it's a proportional response.
**President Andrew Shepherd*: Someday someone's going to have to explain to me the virtue of a proportional response.
Two aides of the President talking Lewis: Can I just state very clearly I can't be part of anything illegal. A.J.: Good for you, Lewis. Lewis: You can say what you want. It's always the guy in my job that ends up doing 18 months in Danbury minimum security prison.
Riddick (vin diesel) has the ability to see in the dark and locate the monsters. The surving group is behind Riddick who's leading the way. Arriving at a cover riddick is given order
Sarge: So is it clear

Sarge-HEY, YOU SAID IT WAS CLEAR.
Riddick: I said it looks clear

(He looks in the dark)
Riddick: Looks clear.
X-Men
Wolverine of course has problem with Cyclops. During their raid of Statue of Liberty the gang confronts the shape shifter Mysitque. She turns into Wolverine and jinx the X-mutants. Wolverine defeats her comes into the hall where Cylops and Jean are waiting.
Cyclops (about to blast wolverine thinking it's Mystique)
Wolverine: WHOA, wait wait. it's me.

Cyclops: Ok.
"Well, you'e the kid's father. If you're stupid enough to go die in that death trap, that's your business however, I am not stupid enough to follow you. It's too bad for the kid though that her old man is so stupid."
"It has been established that persons who have recently died are returning to life,and commiting acts of murder. Widespread investigation of reports from funeral homes, mourges and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead are coming back to life...seeking human victims...it it hard for us here to beleive what we are reporting to you but it does seem to be a fact!"
Jules: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
Vincent Vega: **And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
**Jules Winnfield: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese? Vincent Vega: ** No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f--k a Quarter Pounder is.
**Jules Winnfield: Then what do they call it? Vincent Vega: ** They call it a "Royale" with cheese.
**Jules Winnfield: A "Royale" with cheese! What do they call a Big Mac? Vincent Vega: ** A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "le Big-Mac".
**Jules Winnfield: "Le Big-Mac"! Ha ha ha ha! What do they call a Whopper?
*Vincent Vega: * I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.
John Milton: Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts! He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does he do, I swear for his own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, he sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste! Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha! And when you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' his sick, ****in' ass off. He's a tight-ass! He's a sadist! He's an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never!
John Milton: I only set the stage. You pull your own strings.
