Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

I thought sharing our favorite movie quotes would be fun, and maybe in some way helpful.

So, here are my quotes:

(1)

"Captain, we've been overrun! We're pulling back! Over!"

"Goddamn it! Where are you gonna pull back to?! They're all over the perimeter! You be advised, you will hold in place and you will fight! That means you, Lieutenant! Bravo Six out."

Source: Platoon (1986, Orion Pictures)

(2)

Frank Burns: “I’m sick of hearing about the wounded. What about all the thousands of wonderful guys who are fighting this war without any of the credit or the glory that always goes to those lucky few who just happen to get shot?”

Source: Mash (1970, Film, Twentieth Century Fox)

(3)

"On my command unleash hell."
Source: Gladiator (2000, Film,DreamWorks Pictures)

Re: Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

From the movie A Bridge Too Far:


(1).
I've just been on to Monty. He's very proud and pleased.
Pleased?
Of course. He thinks Market Garden was 90% successful.


(2). Remember what the general said, "we're the cavalry." It would be bad form to arrive in advance of schedule. In the nick of time would do nicely.



Does it need to be a war movie?

Here's from Godfather:

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

(4). Never hate your enemies, it affects your judgment.

(5). The richest man is the one with the most powerful friends.

(6). Friends and money... oil and water.

(7).

"How much shall I pay you?"

"Bonasera, what have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, this scum who ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by some chance an honest man like yourself made enemies they would become my enemies. And then, they would fear you."

"Be my friend... Godfather."

"Good. Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter's wedding day."

Talk about Al Pacino, in Scarface: "Say hello to my little friend."

Hahaha :D

Dang! Forgot about this another one from A Bridge Too Far:

"Sergeant Dohun pulled a gun on me and threatened to kill me unless I did what he ordered. Lieutenant Refferty, I want you to put him under arrest."
"Yes sir!"
"I want you to keep him there. I want you to keep him there for at least 10 seconds!"
"I'm not sure I understand, sir?"
"Count to 10 Lieutenant, fast!"
"1,2,3,4,5,9,10. Like that sir?"
"Thank you Lieutenant."

Gotta get the Navy in this, especially after the whopping the University of Alabama put on the University of Kentucky football team last night, 1st October 2016:

Chief of the Boat: Yes, sir?

Capt. Ramsey: You're aware of the name of this ship, aren't you Mr. COB?

Chief of the Boat: Very aware, sir!

Chief of the Boat: Outstanding, sir!

I just had to throw this one in there: Near the end of The Bridge Too Far movie when the Allied generals are each giving a reason why the mission failed and one of the generals says "It doesn't matter what it was, when one man says to another, what to do today? I know, lets play a war-game ... everybody dies"

Re: Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

Luckily now, let's play war games and let pixel soldiers die :happy:

Re: Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

From 'Good Kill' (2014)
Cop: "How is the war on terror going?"
Former Air Force Fighter pilot: "About as well as your war on drugs."

(Although, IMHO, in all honesty, the war on terror is going at least a little better than that, although that is not saying much).

Re: Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

There's a hot war on drugs in Duterte's Philippines.

Re: Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

Yeah, Dr. Strangelove is a hoot of a movie. One of my favorites is from the B-52 commander after he dons his cowboy hat:

"Well, boys, I reckon this is it. New-q-lure combat, toe-to-toe with the Rooskies. Now look, boys. I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches. But I got a pretty fair idea that somethin' doggoned important's going on back there. And I got a fair idea of the kind of personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human beins if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelings about nuclear combat. But I want you to remember one thing - the folks back home is a countin' on ya, and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. Tell ya somethin' else - this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions an' personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for every last one of ya, regardless of your race, color, or your creed. Now, let's get this thing on the hump. We got some flyin' to do."

Re: Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

Ah... that video should've shown why he came about riding a darned H-Bomb!

The best thing about that movie is that Mr. President of the US, Her Majesty's British Officer, and the German scientist Dr. Strangelove, were all played by the same actor. :smirk:

A Bridge Too Far (1977) The German's offer surrender to the vastly outnumbered British Parachute Regiment troops at Arnhem Bridge...

Re: Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

Now... that's typical British wit, added with a pinch of dignity.

General Bittrich can only sigh after that, "Flatten Arnheim..."

"God left this place a long time ago" From 'Blood Diamond' (2006) he does a pretty good South African accent too.

One of the most touching scenes in a war movie, is the Spielberg "Saving Private Ryan," the General Marshall scene, "Letter to Mrs. Bixby."

"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom."

Re: Your Favorite Movie Quotes
 

"You was in the Guards? When I was in the Army my rifle was longer than you."

Not from a film, one of my old Dad's mates in the 1970's - a former Gordon Highlander from Glasgow- about a former Scots Guards soldier who joined their firm.

The Alien is an iconic sci fi movie franchise. One of the few films where the sequel was up to par with the first installment. In Aliens, the sequel, Bill Paxton "Pvt Hudson" (d. 26 Feb 2017) enjoyed many of the most memorable quotes.
