"I kick ass for the lord!"

I don't think I need to say much about this one, other than it was directed by Peter Jackson. The same Peter Jackson that made the Lord of the Rings movies. Oh, and this quote is from Dead Alive.

"They don't need to act, they need to be."

From Shadow of the Vampire (2000). In this scene the director,

Dr. Murnau, is referring to the extras he picked, who were just random people in a pub in eastern Europe..

"I was a failure- I was a failure and I get very sad and depressed about it..."

This is from American Movie. It's a documentary about a guy who has devoted his life to making films. It's a fascinating film for any aspiring filmmakers out there. It's a fascinating film for anyone looking for the American dream. This movie carries every imaginable facet of modern America. As long as America has alcoholics, movies, divorce, family values, friends and the right to pursue your dreams, this movie will be relevant.

"The loneliest part of the book comes... when the man accidentally sees Dracula setting his table."

[Referring to the novel, Dracula]
Max Schreck: It made me sad.
Albin: Why sad?

Max Schreck: Because Dracula had no servants.

Albin: I think you missed the point of the book, Count Orlock.

Max Schreck: Dracula hasn't had servants in 400 years and then a man comes to his ancestral home, and he must convince him that he... that he is like the man. He has to feed him, when he himself hasn't eaten food in centuries. Can he even remember how to buy bread? How to select cheese and wine? And then he remembers the rest of it. How to prepare a meal, how to make a bed. He remembers his first glory, his armies, his retainers, and what he is reduced to. The loneliest part of the book comes... when the man accidentally sees Dracula setting his table.

This movie is perfect. period. this is the kind of movie that you sit in front of the TV, totally dumbfounded, long after the credits roll. The movie in question is Shadow of the Vampire. It's about the filming of Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens. However, there's a twist; the director, Mernau (played by John Malkovich), hires an actual vampire (played by Willem Dafoe). My expectations were really high for this movie and it still blew me away. Everyone reading this has to go and humt down this movie immediately.

EDIT:

OK. apparently if I keep the videos short enough, Universal's lawyers don't care.

"Fabulous. University education, you can't beat it."

This is from a forgotten gem of the world of British comedy called Blackadder. In fact, it was where quite a few famous comedians got their start, including: Stephen Fry, Hugh Lauri, and Rowan Atkinson.

"We got this man, we got this by the ass"

We'll, at least we thought so at the time...

From George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978).

"Listen up you primitive screwheads; this is my boomstick!"

I just couldn't decide which quote to put, I didn't want to to two quotes from the same movie; not in the same day anyway. So, my deciding factor is that this quote is actually from Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness, so that makes it fair game. ha!

p.s. This is probably the most famous quote you're ever going to see on The Internet Quote Database.

"Groovy."

In a movie as cool as Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn, this is all you need to get a spot on The Internet Quote Database. Plus, this scene has some pretty cool Stanley Kubrick style camera work.

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum."

This is a quote is from John Carpenter's They Live. They Live is a

strange film, even by John Carpenter standards. While not

necessarily all that weird in terms of plot, It has a mood and pacing

that makes it absolutely impossible to categorize.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room!"

This is a quote from Dr. Strangelove. A film from the brilliant mind of Stanly Kubrick.

Another quote submitted by Olivia S.

"Someday this war's gonna end."

This one is sort of two quotes in one. First you have "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Then you also have "Someday this war's gonna end." These quotes are from Apocalypse Now and were submitted by Robert S.

"I felt like destroying something beautiful."

Today's quote was sort of suggested by my sister Olivia. it's from the scene in Fight Club after *spoilers* Tyler beats angel face to a bloody pulp. Unfortunately I can't find a video for this one.

"Wait! We can't stop here... this is bat country."
