From Doc Zhivago: "Besides, with a little pistol I have killed men far smarter than myself," - or something like that.

The line from Dr Zhivago (at least in the book) is:

General Zhivago (at his brother's funeral) considered: "No doubt he was a better man than me - but I have killed better men than me with a small pistol."

One of the few instances where a great book became a great movie.

My all-time favorite movie line (and general life guidance) is from "Animal House": "My advice to you is to start drinking heavily."

Samuel Jackson from "Pulp Fiction"

Not exactly one liners, but:

(1) "Ezekiel 25:17 - The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengance upon thee."

(2) John Travolta:"Jules, haven't you ever heard the saying that he who admits his mistakes is immediately forgiven for his wrongdoing?"

Sam Jackson:"Don't give me that bull****! The mother****er who said that **** never had to clean up itty bitty pieces of skull on account of your dumb ***!"

Travolta:"Jules, there's a limit to the amount of abuse I'm willing to take. Right now, I'm a ****ing race car, all right, and I'm in the red. And I'm saying, I'm just saying, that it's ****ing dangerous to have a race car in the red. All right? I'm gonna blow."

Jackson:"You gonna blow?"

Travolta:"Yeah, I'm gonna blow."

Jackson:"Oh yeah? Well I'm a mushroom-cloud layin' mother ****er, mother****er! Every time my hands touch brain, I'm Superfly TNT! I'm the Guns Of The Navarone! In fact, what the **** am I doin back here? You're the mother****er that oughta be on brain detail! We switchin' - I'm cleanin' up the front, and you pickin' up this *****'s skull."

(3) Jackson:"Normally the two of you would be dead as fried chicken right now, but you happened to catch me in a transitional phase, and I don't wanna kill ya - I wanna help ya."

And then there's Bill Murray from Kingpin:
"I'm the greatest! I'm Big Ern! I've got enough money to buy my way out of anything! I can do anything I want! I'll get a lawyer, and I'll walk! Finally Big Ern is above the law!"

Someone help me out here...Tremors II...the survivalist makes his first appearance...he's been in a major altercation...he says something like

"It was a little hairy, but with superior tactics and effective use of small-arms fire I was able to persevere..."

I'm sure that a bad mangle. Anyone have it right?

From the movie Tremors: after Bert explains that he made his anti-graboid bombs out of a few common household ingredients combined in the right proportions and had inserted some cannon fuse, the other character asks:

"Where's you get the cannon fuse?"

Bert answers, matter-of-factly: "From my cannon."

From Army of Darkness: "Good. Bad. I'm the one with the gun."

Dave, I thought Bert's first line on getting out of the (Now ruined) truck was better; "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know information!"

The next Star Wars movie will apparantly feature Samuel L. Jackson prominently. The line I want to hear:

"Annakin, hand me my lightsaber...waddya mean which one, it's the one that says "bada$$ mutha****a" on it, moron!"

LOL! Blazing Saddles is a treasure trove. When Bart first shows up on the podium:

"Excuse me while I whip this out."
