Sexually suggestive lines from the Star Wars trilogy...

'Get in there you big furry oaf, I don't care what you smell!'

'Luke, at that speed do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?'

'Put that thing away before you get us all killed.'

'You've got something jammed in here real good.'

'Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?'

'You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.'

'Sorry about the mess...'

'Look at the size of that thing!'

'Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!'

'She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid.'

'I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me.'

'Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?'

'There's an awful lot of moisture in here.'

'That's okay, I'd like to keep it on manual control for a while.'

'Hurry up, golden-rod...'

'I must've hit it pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh kid?'

'Possible he came in through the south entrance.'

'And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!'

'Control, control! You must learn control!'

'Hey, point that thing someplace else.'

'I look forward to completing your training. In time you will call me master.'

'I never knew I had it in me.'

'There is good in him, I've felt it.'

'Hey, Luke, thanks for coming after me -- now I owe you one.'

'Back door, huh? Good idea!'

'She's gonna blow!'

'I think you'll fit in nicely.'

'Rise, my friend.'

'Wedge! Pull out! You're not doing any good back there!'

Every single line of dialogue in a Tarantino movie is a memorable quote...
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

LOL! The first one was on TV yesterday, I still enjoy watching it after all these years. I should likely invest in the box set soon.

Id quote some Fear and Loathing, but I dont know where to start, that whole movie is quotable.

"INCONCEIVABLE!" - Vizzini, as quoted by Shawn Wallace, The Princess Bride

"You only think I guessed wrong - that's what's so funny. I switched glasses when your back was turned. Ha-ha, you fool. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line.". Hahahahahah."
[Vizzini falls over dead]

I like his line about never getting involved in a land war in Asia. Words to live by.
"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia'."

Isnt there a bit in the conversation before they drink, something like this:

Wesley after listening to Vizzini for a bit, "You have a truly dizzying intellect."
Vizzini, quickly replies, "Wait 'til I get started."

Or something to that effect. Thats really an incredible movie I think. Its not as true to the book as id like, but overall they are two different experiences for me. I can appreciate them both on their own merits.

Vizzini: I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.

Westley: You're that smart?

Vizzini: Ever hear of Aristotle? Plato? Socrates?

Westley: Yes.

Vizzini: Morons!

What helps The Princess Bride is that William Goldman adapted his own novel and had very solid ideas about what would and wouldn't work in a screen version.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Yes. I agree, and it's stated in the documentaries in the DVD. William Goldman and Rob Reiner demonstrated a true partnership in this project. Goldman had Andre the Giant in mind for the role of Fezzik.

In the documentary, Rob Reiner mentioned that mob wiseguy approached him at a restaurant and said to Reiner, "You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Gotta love it.

The Princess Bride is a movie that will be timeless for all generations.

"I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?"
"Do you always begin conversations this way?"

Mandy Patinkin is an absolute crack up in this film.

And might I add, one of the best fencing scenes ever choragraphed, in league with Douglas Fairbank, Errol Flynn/Basil Rathbone (The Adventures of Robin Hood), and of course Danny Kaye/Basil Rathbone (The Court Jester)

Yes excellent fencing very much in league with the two great swashbuckling films you mentioned.

It's a pity there wasn't more swashbuckling in the PT films.

I LOVE The Court Jester.

"The pellet with the poison is in the vessel with the pestle, the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true, right?"
"Right, but there's been a change. They ... broke the chalice from the palace."
"They ... broke the chalice from the palace?"
"... and replaced it with a flagon."
" A flagon?"
"... with a figure of a dragon."
"A flagon with a dragon.
"RIGHT."
"But, did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?"
"Noooo, the pellet with the poison is in the flagon with the dragon, the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true."
"The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon, the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true."
"Just remember that."
"Yes, thank you very much."
