Minxy Monday: Best Movie Lines

In case I haven't banged on about this enough - I love movies! Have done since my dad bought our first VCR in 1981 along with eleven videos. Don't ask me to name them all but the titles included Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii, All That Jazz, Jaws (this one gave me nightmares for weeks!) and The Godfather.

Since then my love of movies has grown (so much so I worked in two separate videos stores before I was twenty). What better way to watch movies for free?

What makes movies memorable for me are the one-liners that either tug on the hearstrings or make you roar with laughter. Everyone, whether they've seen the whole movie or not, will remember lines like, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn", "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine" and "Do ya feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?".

For those hard core movie watchers, you'll also recognise this one "Don't Call Me BABE" uttered by a certain buxom female off that beach show *snigger*.

Now I have too many one-liners to name on this post, but just thought I'd share a few favourites with you. Here goes:

"Hand. Off. Ass" (The Proposal).
"Honey, just cos I talk slow, don't mean I'm stupid" (double snigger) (Sweet Home Alabama)
"Life is not the amount of breaths you take. It’s the moments that take your breath away” (Hitch)
"Beam me up, Scottie" As a die-hard Trekkie, I cannot leave that out.
And finally, from that classy, classy show which is The Simpsons - Homer: "You can run, but you can't glide!"

Here are some other Minxy favourite lines:

Sally: From Love Actually (where neither character understands the other's language)
Jamie - (in English) "It's my favorite time of day, driving you."
Aurelia - (in Portuguese) "It's the saddest part of my day, leaving you."

Joanne C: From Pearl Harbour - "Oh Rafe, all I ever wanted was for us to have a home and grow old together, but life never asked me what I wanted. Now I'm going to give Danny my whole heart... but I don't think I'll ever look at another sunset without thinking of you... I'll love you my whole life."

Joanne P: (Bridget) "Wait a minute... nice boys don't kiss like that." (Mark Darcy)"Oh, yes, they f**king do." (Bridget Jones's Diary)

Lacey: "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her" (Notting Hill) awwwww!

Romy: "You're like my own personal brand of heroin" (Twilight)
