It was my intention to write a post featuring some stand out quotes from movies I’ve seen this year, but I wandered a little off the track, and this has ended up as an all time list.
I might include a favourite quote each time I write a movie from now on. Maybe.
So, in no particular order…
I was born into the Hebrew persuasion, but when I got older I converted to narcissism
Sid Waterman (Woody Allen)
That’s Greysmith. He’s a cartoonist. He thinks he’s going to solve the Zodiac.
Sgt. Jack Mulanax (Elias Koteas)
Meanwhile, I can’t get that Flying Dutchman theme out of my head. Remind me tomorrow to buy up all the Wagner records in town and rent a chainsaw.
Larry Lipton (Woody Allen)
Then there was Phillips, the Chief. It might have been my mission, but it sure as shit was Chief’s boat.
Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen)
The guest list for the funeral reads like a chorus line of soap stars and homosexuals.
Prince Phillip (James Cromwell)

Mr Spock (Leonard Nimoy)
The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
Dr Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd)
I’m gonna get a job in an abattoir, work really hard, get a boyfriend who’s like… a bastard, and churn out all these kids, right, with mental problems. And then I’m gonna wait for the menopause… or cancer.
Mona (Nathalie Press)
If you understand an obsession then you know you won’t change my mind.
Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman)
We called him Mother Superior on account of the length of his habit.
Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor)
