Subject: The Great Movie Lines Of The 80's
Written By: Doc Brown on 06/30/05 at 10:05 pm
Last week the AFI broadcast its choices of the 100 greatest lines in film history. And while most of the choices were good, I'm sorry to say that only about a dozen of their choices came from 80's movies. I personally thought of a few others that should've been included, but here are their choices, you'll know what films they're from:
"Here's Johnny!"
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."
"No wire hangers!" (there was one that didn't need to be there! ::) )
"E.T. phone home."
"They're here!"
"Say Hello to my little friend!"
"I'll be back."
"I feel the need, the need for speed!"
"...greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
"Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
"Sieze the day!" (If they were going to include just one Robin Wiliams line, this was the wrong one! ??? )
"I'll have what she's having."
"If you build it, he will come."
Now, which ones do YOU think should've been on the list? Personally, I'd nominate these three:
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around sometimes, you could miss it."
"He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way. And that's how you get Capone!"
"Fourteen minutes to Wapner."
So how about you?
Your Pal,
Doc

You forgot "Here's Johnny!" from The Shining (1980)
I will admit, that Connery quote from The Untouchables is pretty cool.

My favorite line from any 80's movie has got to be from The Breakfast Club when Bender (Judd Nelson's character) asks Vernon,
"Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?" ;D

Sorry, I keep thinking The Shining is from the 70's. ::). And yeah, that BC line is pretty funny.
Since mentioned it, Dead Poets Society was a crappy film to get a Robin Williams quote from. How could they possibly overlook his classic tagline: "Goooood Morning, Vietnaaaam!" ?
I can't believe I forgot to include one from my own film! :o So here's my vote for best closing line ever:
"Roads? Where we're going we don't need 'roads'."Any others? I mean, there have to be plenty more we can mention!
Your Pal,
Doc

For the '80s my favorite wouldn't be a single line but a group of them from 1987's "Broadcast News"...
Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks): "What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women".

I was about to say I couldn't believe the AFI forgot:
"Go ahead, make my day." (Sudden Impact)
but Doc Brown just forgot to mention it in the original post. Here are a few more 80s movie quotes that made the AFI Top 100:
"Say 'hello' to my little friend" (Scarface)
"You're going to get back on that horse, and I'm going to be right behind you, holding on tight, and away we're gonna go, go, go!" (On Golden Pond)
"become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac...It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!" (Caddy Shack)
"Snap out of it!" (Moonstruck)
-----------------------------------
Some of my favorites:
"Shall we play a game?" (War Games)
"Whatever you do, don't fall asleep." (A Nightmare on Elm Street)
"He slimed me." (Ghostbusters)
"Luke, I am your father." (The Empire Strikes Back)
"Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down." (Full Metal Jacket)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off, was loaded with great lines. My favourite is this long speech he makes as he's having a shower:
"I do have a test today, that wasn't bullsheesh. It was on European socialism. I mean What's the point? I'm not European, i don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialists. They could be facist anarchists, it still doesn't change the fact that i don't own a car. It's not that i condone facism or any ism for that matter, isms are not good in my opinion. People should not believe in an ism he should believe in himself. I quote John Lenon, i don't belive in Beatles, i just believe in me. Good point there, after all he was the warlrus. I could be the warlrus, i'd still have to bum rides off of people."
Or another great one is where there's an intruder in the house (Mr. Rooney) & she anounces to the intruder over the intercom:
Excuse me, who ever's in the house that is still in the house, i'd just like you to know that i've just called the police. So if you have any brains whatsoever you'll get your arse out of my house real quick. I'd also like to add that i have my father's gun & a scorching case of herpies."
These are a couple of the tonnes of classic lines in that movie that are overlooked.

My favorite quotes from Ferris Bueller's Day Off..
The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion.
It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.
What's he doing?
He's licking the glass and making obscene gestures with his hands.
There's someone you should talk to.
If you say Ferris Bueller, you lose a testicle.
Oh, you know him?
I just picked up Jeannie at the police station! She got a speeding ticket, another speeding ticket, and I lost the Vermont deal because of her!
I think we should shoot her.
I asked for a car, I got a computer. How's that for being born under a bad sign?
The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom; I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh... you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school.

Another film that has some of my favorite quotes is This Is Spinal Tap.
It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever.
It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.
The review for "Shark Sandwich" was merely a two word review which simply read "**** Sandwich".
We've got Armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening.
The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Exactly.
Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
I don't know.
Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Put it up to eleven.
Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
These go to eleven.
