best movie quote ever


When asked how he had decided that he was God, Peter O'Toole replies, "I found that whenever I prayed to God, I was talking to myself."
Second best: George C. Scott in "The Flim-flam Man": You can sell a man anything on God's green earth if you can convince him it's stolen.

Lots of funny lines in this film including the above.

I love Arthur Lowe as the Butler, he definitely gets some of the best one-liners.

As well as being a funny full of satire it makes some great points about the class system in the UK to.

Great film.

What happens when God talks back?

reply

You're still talking to yourself.

May contain spoliers

i agree that line was very funny lol,
also,
when Dr Herder is showing him the cue cards and asking Otoole what they cards remind of him, he replies God a few times, then Dr Herder says , well if it didnt remind you of God , what else would it remind you of? Otoole "an inkblot" lol

and Tucker the butler saying to Dr herder (who he did not get along with) "Dr Herder , Mr Mckyle is here....."
Dr herder "well show in right in"
Tucker" certainly , i'll just lie down on the doorstep and let him walk over me "LOL

reply

Tucker "certainly , i'll just lie down on the doorstep and let him walk over me "
I love that line too!

From Body heat, with Kathleen Turner and William Hurt
"You're not too bright, are you? I like that in a man."

Best quote in my opinion...

J.C. enters the room riding a tricycle, and his newly-wed bride scolds him for not having any dignity. And J.C. replies:

"Dignity has nothing to do with divinity."

Died laughing

reply

"Dignity has nothing to do with divinity."

JC resembles what the Russians call a Holy Fool, and the Indians call Crazy Wisdom.

I feel that Bertie the vicar and his theatrical way of expressing worry also deserves mention. Such as during the reading of the will, when it adorns on him that neither he nor the church has been mentioned therein, he utters: "Oh, by the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea we wept... LOL LOL

reply

Yes, that is a great line.
There are many others, as well.

Arthur Lowe has many funny lines also.
I love when he states: "I AM A CELL!".

reply

When JC is going through a series of experiments with Dr. Herder he is shown a series of pictures and asked to say what they remind him of, he says God to all of them which leads to the following exchnge

Doc: God? They all remind you of god?

JC: Yes. Everything it is or ever shall me reminds me of me.

Doc: And if it didn't remind you of you what would it remind you of?

JC: An ink blot

reply

That, my friend, is good stuff.

It was replete with great lines. Among my favorites, and one that sums up the absurdity at the heart of the film: "If only I knew then who I was now."
