No Country for Old Men:


Ed Tom Bell: I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five years old. Hard to believe. My grandfather was a lawman; father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time; him up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old time sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lotta folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough'd never carry one; that's the younger Jim. Gaston Boykins wouldn't wear one up in Camanche County. I always liked to hear about the oldtimers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can't help but compare yourself against the oldtimers. Can't help but wonder how theyd've operated these times. There was this boy I sent to the 'lectric chair at Huntsville Hill here a while back. My arrest and my testimony. He killt a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell. "Be there in about fifteen minutes". I don't know what to make of that. I sure don't. The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure. It's not that I'm afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, "O.K., I'll be part of this world."

A couple of my favorite lines from the mini series Band of Brothers.

FIRST.
Col. Sink - "Kids, I just had a conversation with General LeClerc. He told me he was first into Paris, and by God, he wanted to be first into Berchtesgaden. I told him I understood his point. Now you fire up Second Battalion and out-flank that French son of a bitch!.."


SECOND.
2nd Lt. George Rice: "Looks like you guys are going to be surrounded."

CPT Richard Winters: "We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded."

Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have f***ed with? That's me.

Is there any more shit we can pile on to the outcome of this case?! Is it possible?!"

Actually some of the best lines in the movie aren't really spoken. He just grunts and you know what he is thinking.

The Big Lebowski:
Walter Sobchak: Nihilists! **** me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

That goes with the aforementioned Dr Strangelove quote about not fighting in the war room as one of the cleverest lines in a movie.

Along with Tombstone and Pulp Fiction, Me, Myself & Irene is loaded with some of the funniest scenes and lines I can recall:

Officer Stubie: Would someone please get this chicken out of my ass?

Or like this conversation between Jim Carey's sons (note this is filled with vulgar language):

Lee Harvey: You keep ****in' around and you gonna get that scholarship to Yale taken away. End up at Stanford with a mutha****in' sling blade.
Jamaal: Sh*t, yo' ass gonna be lucky to get into Duke, gettin' a mutha****in' 1430 on yo' SATs.
Lee Harvey: Sh*t, mutha****a you know I had the flu.
Jamaal: You'd have to have a mutha****in' aneurysm to get a 1430, sh*t.
