"Demented and SAD, but social!" _was_ great. (The Breakfast Club)
also from TBC: "I'm not _that_ pristine." and "Will milk be made
available to us?" Basically, TBC was full of great quotes. What
a flick.

Three lines that I am always randomly quoting from movies:

"This is NOT my area of expertise"
- the Geek in Sixteen Candles

"You are rude, crude, and socially unacceptable."
- Steve Martin ala Lily Tomlin in All of Me

"Chips, dips, chains, whips"
- Kelly LeBrock in Weird Science

"So after all your posturing, all your little speeches... you're nothing but a common thief"
"I am an *exceptional* thief!"

"Back off man, I'm a scientist!"

(BTW, I'd never seen/heard the name Sheree before. It's nice!)

Ghostbusters also?

My parents got the name from an obscure actress named Sheree
North. Apparently she played in some stuff in the 60's and
70's. Her most recent role is Kramer's mom in Seinfeld. Wow!
I never appreciated my name until that moment! :)

No, it's "Die Hard." Holly Gennero (Bonnie Bedelia) asks the question, and
Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) responds.

Actually, the first is from Die Hard--Bonie Bedelia to Alan Rickman,
Rickman says, "I am and *exceptional* thief, and since I'm movin gup to
kidnapping, I suggest you be a little more polite! (or some such)"

"Are you, Alice, mensturating right now?"

So many great lines from so many great movies...

It's been a while, so I'm not sure if they're all perfectly verbatim, but
these first few all come from my all time favorite comedy movie: "This is
Spinal Tap"

"Well why didn't you just make ten a little louder then ten
would be the loudest."
((Pause))
"These go to eleven."

"He choked on vomit."
"Well, actually, it was someone else's vomit."
"nobody know's whose vomit it was."
"You can't really dust for vomit."

"You look at it and you have to ask yourself how much more
black can it be? And the answer is none. None more black."

"Is there really a St. Hubbins?"
"Yes, actually. He's the patron saint of quality footwear."

---

And from my favorite Sci-fi movie: "Aliens"

"This little girl survived longer than that without any weapons
and without any training."
"Why don't you put her in charge?"

"Game over, man"

"Maybe you're not keeping up with current events,man, but we just got
our asses kicked."

"Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?"
"No. Have you?"

---

And someone's already mentioned The Breakfast Club. My favorite line
from that one was...

"Who'd your mom marry, Mr. Rogers?"
"No, Mr. Johnson."

This one was more in the delivery than the actual line. It was the one
and only time I actually liked Anthony Michael Hall on the screen.

Was this thread about people trying to guess what movie the lines came from?
If it is, here it goes (these are easy!):

"What?! Are you crazy?!!! The fall will kill you!"

"Beeee yourself!"

"Smokin'!!!"

"Home. Home! Home!! Home!!!"

Don't what happened there, but I think the quote "after all your
speeches..........you're just a common thief" is from Die Hard.

I can't remember what movie this is from...I know I saw it recently,
I remember the quote, but I can't recall the movie....please tell
me what the movie was.

Yes, the scene in Die Hard is when Bonnie Bedelia, playing McClane's wife
(ex-wife, whatever), realizes that the "terrorists" are actually just
robbing the Nakatomi building.

Ms. McLane: After all your posturing, you're just a common thief.
Hans Gruber (lunging toward her): I'm a very GOOD thief, and since I'm
moving up to kidnapping you should be more polite.

Or something like that. :)

Isn't this from Die-Hard? Conversation between Bruce Willis' wife and the
main bad guy/terrorist dude.

Actually he had a ton of great lines in that film... "Mr. Nakimoto (or
whatever his name was) didn't see it my way, so he won't be joining us for
the rest of his life." was one of my faves.

and of course, the rest of the line:

"and since I'm moving up to kidnapping you should show some respect!"
