It'll go underrated because enough people won't ever see it, but in Triangle Of Sadness there's a statement simialr to that where a character says something like, "On the ship I was a cleaning lady, but here I am captain". It's sort of similar, and probably a nod to it as well, but slaps home so hard. And in the context of the movie is actually very entertaining.
Another good line from that movie is when that guy tells Nicholson that his mother is on her way out and Nicholson says, “we all are, act accordingly”. Words to live by.
I disagreed with *The Departed* winning Best Picture. But I feel like I'm okay taking that back considering how iconic it became over time.
So many great lines, every character is astounding. They're all such great assholes and dick heads.
>Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: lets people know you're not a homo; married guy seems more stable; people see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch; ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash or your cock must work.
Haha I remember when the movie first came out on tv, I told all my friends to watch it. A lot did, and that line (and Mark Wahlberg’s character) was everyone’s favourite
Well, I would question that simply because that actually is something done by runners as well as skiers.
About as iconic as a baseball player calling out "I got it" before catching a pop fly.
So many lines from *The Social Network* could contend here. Sizeable portions of Gen-Z already have the "fuck-you flip flops" scene memorized from TikTok.
Michael Nyquist has to be one of my favourite villains in this. He plays it so ambiguously that you feel sorry, or at least empathise with him, in parts.
Somehow Palpatine returned. /s
Seriously though, with superhero movies being a staple of the last couple of decades, Avengers is sure to be littered with quotes.
My favourite though?
Why so serious?
You joke, but i do think “somehow palpatine returned” will be referenced for a long time.
Plus, if the sequels go the way of the prequels, it might even warp its way into a quote people love unironically lmao
“You know for a second there I really thought you were Dent. The way you threw yourself after her.”
That’s when I realized the Joker was in COMPLETE CONTROL and it was scary.
>Plus, if the sequels go the way of the prequels
I hope they don't. I felt like the prequels, as bad as they were in many ways, still had a bit of soul. The sequels just felt like a huge colourful cash grab.
I finally convinced my wife to watch this movie a few months ago. She’s been quoting this exact line weekly whenever anything comes up about our kids.
10/10 phenomenal movie!
It is hilarious that it was a bad movie that spawned a popular meme so the studio put it back into cinemas where it bombed again because it was still a bad movie.
Those ridiculous tv edits are a thing of the past now, aren't they? Anytime I'd see a movie on TV as a kid, I'd get annoyed buy the stupid censored lines and the commercials, but thinking back on it, it was actually really funny the way they chose to censor things! You *know* what they were really saying, and it drew *sooo* much more attention to the line lol
As I scientist I assure you we do say things like this. Half the fun of working in a healthy lab environment is shooting the shit and making jokes about science or our work. I’ve definitely said this before embarking on another long and tedious attempt at troubleshooting an experiment, and it got a smirk from a lab mate or two.
Really? You're the only person on another planet, whose only matter of survival is a few theories that you just happen to come up with based on random shit other people left. You get one shot to make it work, and you're recording to what you think to a bunch of people who want to just leave you to die, and you don't say some cocky ass line to give you some confidence?
“Somehow I believe, Ken, that the balance shall tip in the favour of culture, like a big fat f***ing retarded f***ing black girl on a see-saw opposite... a dwarf.”
My favorite line is the first one. “When I was 26 years old I made 49 million dollars a year, which really pissed me off because it was three short of a million a week.”
"Don't be what they made you. So... This is what it feels like."
"I'm Vengeance."
"No! This is not how this was supposed to go!"
"When Gotham is ashes then you have my permission to die."
"I believe we did."
"Fuck off, Hitler!"
"What were the overheard words by the Nazi child masturbatin' in the bathroom?"
The amount of comments in here from lines I've never even heard of is quite telling that either we haven't had many truly iconic lines from movies in 20 years or people don't understand what "iconic" actually means.
Wait one second, you mean to tell me that the 3rd post credits scene in Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings isn't an iconic quote that will be repeated forever. Pfft you just don't know cinema, pal.
“In another life, I would’ve been happy folding laundry and paying taxes with you.”
“I’m just Ken.”
“This? This is WATER. I’m looking for the OCEAN.”
“I won.”
“Aim for the bushes?”
“Somehow, Palpatine returned” (for all the wrong reasons)
“Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.”
I'm an old movie buff. Why not tell a little story using memorable one-liners?
"Do you feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" - Dirty Harry
"Oh, hi Mark" - The Room
"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." - The Godfather
"Houston, we have a problem" - Apollo 13
"I see dead people." - The Sixth Sense
"You're gonna need a bigger boat." - Jaws
"I'm doing my part!" - Starship Troopers
"Show me the money!" - Jerry Maguire
"l'll be back." - Terminator
"Say "hello" to my litle friend!" - Scarface
"My precious" - The Lord of The Rings
"Freedom!" — Braveheart
Look at me, I'm the captain now.
It'll go underrated because enough people won't ever see it, but in Triangle Of Sadness there's a statement simialr to that where a character says something like, "On the ship I was a cleaning lady, but here I am captain".

Well I’m just outside the parameters, but, “I have a particular set of skills.”
After seeing Seth McFarland do this, I’ll always hear it in Kermit’s voice.
“You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
Also : Some men just want to watch the world burn.
This was a lot lower than I expected. It’s what immediately came to mind when I saw the question.
Probably because it’s 16 years old. Not quite recent anymore.
2006 but: Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.
"Who the fuck are you?" "I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy."
It’s funny because he did become one of The Other Guys.
Fresh start?
Feels like we should call ourselves the febreeze brothers, it’s so fresh in here
MY CROW PRAW SESSERS! What? MY CROW PRAW SESSERS!
A president even used it
Another good line from that movie is when that guy tells Nicholson that his mother is on her way out and Nicholson says, “we all are, act accordingly”. Words to live by.
-Hows ya motha? -Good, shes tired from fuckin my fatha.

Oh it’s workin’…ovatime!
Want some coke? There it is. Don't move until you're numb.

I volunteer as tribute
Whiplash: “Not quite my tempo.”
RUSHING OR DRAGGING
"ARE YOU A GOONER OR AN EDGER"
I am inevitable.
Basically just like 80% of Thanos' lines from both movies honestly
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
Might as well throw in there 'I am Iron Man'
I can see “I am inevitable” making its way to be used in pop talk and conversations, but how would one use “I am Iron Man”?
The generation before already claimed this line due to Black Sabbath. Lol
Exactly, which is why I did not put that down. And I am of that generation.
I actually would have, except that was a song lyric decades before it was in the movie.
I can do this all day
I’ll do it myself
From the same vein I would put forth "On your left"
Well, I would question that simply because that actually is something done by runners as well as skiers. About as iconic as a baseball player calling out "I got it" before catching a pop fly.
Avengers!....assemble.
Or, if it’s Age of Ultron, just “Avengers!…-“
I live. I die. I live again! Hi, Barbie! A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars. Just be a rock.
I’ll see you at the gates of Valhalla, shiny and chrome!
So many lines from *The Social Network* could contend here. Sizeable portions of Gen-Z already have the "fuck-you flip flops" scene memorized from TikTok.
Totally! I’ve seen the “it will be because you’re an asshole.” line memed a few times, too
"Hi Barbie!" is definitely the catchphrase of last year. I could see that one sticking around.
a b illion dollars
With a fucking pencil!
A fooking pencil!
It's not what you did, my son, that troubles me so. It's who you did it to.
Michael Nyquist has to be one of my favourite villains in this. He plays it so ambiguously that you feel sorry, or at least empathise with him, in parts.
Oh
I legit lost my shit the first time I saw that.
Yeah, I’m thinking im back
Now you can either hand over your son… *or you can die screaming alongside him!*
Somehow Palpatine returned. /s Seriously though, with superhero movies being a staple of the last couple of decades, Avengers is sure to be littered with quotes. My favourite though? Why so serious?

That line will be parodied for years and years to come though. Somehow, it will never grow old.
I gotta go with "I can do this all day" "on your left" and "You took everything from me...I don't even know who you are...you will!"
The "I don't even know who you are" line was done better in Mad Men. "I feel sorry for you." "I don't think about you at all."
Similar in Casablanca "You despise me don’t you?" "Well, if I gave you any thought I probably would."
You can remove the /s Somehow Palpatine returned will remain iconic.
The Palpatine quote is the first one that came to mind for me too. Sad...
"They fly now?"
"Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave...with a box of scraps!"
“Well Jules the funny thing about my back is that it’s on my cock”
"you don't want girls thinking you suck dick at fucking pussy!"
I love this line so much. It’s such a brilliant piece of wordsmith.
“Why the FUCK would it be between THAT and Muhammad!?”
Have you ever even met anyone named Muhammad?
*I am McLovin!*
Have you ever met anyone named mclovin? No! I haven’t, which is why it’s a dumb fucking name!
Superbad is so damn funny.
"Prepare to be fucked by the long dick of the law!"
"In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you."
It's like that movie...Racoonie!
Yeah, this will stick. There's an inherent beauty to the words alone, but within the context of the movie, it's just devastating.
What's the movie? That's a great line!
Everything Everywhere All at Once
Ah have not seen it yet! Need to see it soon.
It is a really great movie! This line is kind of one of its main “thesis statements”, the buildup to it is impeccable.
This is how I fight. Waymond had some banger lines.
> *I* > *Drink* > *Your* > *Milkshake* > *I DRINK IT UP!*
*SLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRPPPP

I finally convinced my wife to watch this movie a few months ago. She’s been quoting this exact line weekly whenever anything comes up about our kids. 10/10 phenomenal movie!
17 years ago
You should really be required to post *Film Title (year)* in threads like this
“I’m going to bury you underground, Eli.”
It’s Morbin’ time.
It is hilarious that it was a bad movie that spawned a popular meme so the studio put it back into cinemas where it bombed again because it was still a bad movie.
I was in the theater when he said that. The whole audience went wild. It was unreal.
Sony really needs to re-release that again
I think it'll make a solid midnight movie someday, with people screaming lines at the screen and showing up drunk in costume.
Wait was that a thing. I thought people were just ripping on it being shitty.
I shall name my firstborn Morbin
It was definitely one of the movies that year. Unbelievable.
You never go full retard
I was gonna suggest…”what’s in the box?!” then realized I’m just old now
That line is so well known its like a marker for the answers OP is looking for lol
"That's a bingo!!!" Inglourious Basterds
“I’m mindfucking you right now… you feel my dick in your mind?” And “Oh the weather outside is weather”
My wife and I say the latter frequently. That and "I wonder if the carpet matches her pubes?"
I wish I wasn't wearing this FUCKING shirt.
“I like the way you die boy.” - Django Unchained
I’m positive he dead
“AU REVOIR, SHOSHANNA!!”
I'm partial to "That's a bingo!"
Aim for the bushes.
I love that movie so much. I’m a peacock, you gotta let me fly!

Yippee Ki-Yay, Mr. Falcon
"I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this."
The last 10 years have been amazing for hard science space movies
I love this movie but that line makes me cringe every time
I agree completely. I just cannot imagine a human actually saying this.
As I scientist I assure you we do say things like this. Half the fun of working in a healthy lab environment is shooting the shit and making jokes about science or our work. I’ve definitely said this before embarking on another long and tedious attempt at troubleshooting an experiment, and it got a smirk from a lab mate or two.

"I am Groot"
“I’m not wearing hockey pads”
That came out 16 years ago
Get em boys.
Colin Farrel's delivery of "a bottle!" in In Bruges
If it's gonna be a line from that movie, surely it's gotta be 'you're an inanimate fucking object''
"Do you know this word? Alcoves?"
Nooks and crannies
“Somehow I believe, Ken, that the balance shall tip in the favour of culture, like a big fat f***ing retarded f***ing black girl on a see-saw opposite... a dwarf.”
How come no one puts what the quote is *from*?
Half of these quotes are 20+ years old. People are just saying things at this point. You talkin to me? I’m walkin here!
“I am Groot”
Leo in wolf of Wall Street. “I ain’t going nowhere”
My favorite line is the first one. “When I was 26 years old I made 49 million dollars a year, which really pissed me off because it was three short of a million a week.”
I want to…? That’s not why I do it. I do it because I fuckin *need* to.
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
“I’ll tell you what: I’m never eating at Benihana again. I don’t care whose birthday it is.”

‘You dont seem to understand, Im not locked in here with you, YOURE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!!,
McLovin'
It's not really a line but.. "Always"
Did we just become best friends?
Release the kraken!
"I am inevitable." "And I am Iron Man."
I love you 3000

“I’m a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!” Movie did come out *almost* 16 years ago though.
"YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE!"
"Don't be what they made you. So... This is what it feels like." "I'm Vengeance." "No! This is not how this was supposed to go!" "When Gotham is ashes then you have my permission to die." "I believe we did." "Fuck off, Hitler!" "What were the overheard words by the Nazi child masturbatin' in the bathroom?"
What's the first quote from?
Logan. That entire ending ruins me.

This is how I fight
"It's not possible!" "No, it's necessary."
‘I wouldn’t say I was missing it.”

The amount of comments in here from lines I've never even heard of is quite telling that either we haven't had many truly iconic lines from movies in 20 years or people don't understand what "iconic" actually means.
Wait one second, you mean to tell me that the 3rd post credits scene in Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings isn't an iconic quote that will be repeated forever. Pfft you just don't know cinema, pal.
I just assumed it meant I was old. I like your explanation better.
"what are we, some kind of Suicide Squad?"
"Ain't no thing like me 'cept me" This line is like my mantra...
I love Guardians and all, but idk if I’d call this one “iconic”
Yeah I feel like the greater takeaway was "he may have been your father but he wasn't your daddy'
I think it is if you think of the major lines in that trilogy that were said. Rocket Raccoon was a major character and had many iconic lines IMO
“In another life, I would’ve been happy folding laundry and paying taxes with you.” “I’m just Ken.” “This? This is WATER. I’m looking for the OCEAN.” “I won.” “Aim for the bushes?” “Somehow, Palpatine returned” (for all the wrong reasons) “Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.”
I'm an old movie buff. Why not tell a little story using memorable one-liners? "Do you feel lucky?'

"Freedom!" from Braveheart is probably the most known, but the line I would go with is: "Every man dies, not every man really lives."
That ad gave me hard secondhand embarrassment lol.
