From every heart felt, dramatic speach and every tear drop moment and line in Gettysburg, I think my favorite quote(s) belong to Sgt. Kilrain.
Colonel, darlin', could you do us all a favor and get on the damn horse?
Only an arm, I tell ya I can do without that rather then the other necessities of life
I'm Kilrain, and I damn all gentlemen.

and of course the line heard all the way down the lines at every re-enactment I have been to,
"Some of them, they load and load, they never fire. They just keep right on loading. Some of them come home with seven, eight bullets rammed up in the barrel, never fired a shot. "

I know it is cliche, but anyone who refers to himself in the third person, awesome

Matt is finnished...

ps. "OK, we will call it a draw" is a good MPHG quote too....

One of my favorit movies for great lines is from the movie "The Eagle Has Landed" (released 1976)

"A wink at a pretty girl at a party rarely results in a climax, Carl. But a man would be a fool not to push the suggestion as far as it goes." - Oberst Max Radl

"Difficult decisions are the priveledge of rank." - Oberst Kurt Steiner

"This will make the charge of the Light Brigade look like a sensible military excersize." - Admiral Canaris

"The only time this plan makes sense to me is when I'm drunk." - Liam Devlin

"The time has come, Mr. Devlin, when I no longer control events, they control me." - Oberst Kurt Stiener

Then of course there is the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (released 1957)

"Do not speak to me of rules. This is war! This is not a game of cricket!" - Colonel Saito

"You give me powders, pills, baths, injections, enemas; when all I need is love." - Major Shears

"Be happy in your work." - Colonel Saito

"As I've told you before, in a job like yours, even when it's finished, there's always one more thing to do." - Colonel Green

Of course I could go on and on and on. There is Casablanca of course and I could get back to the Civil War with such legendary sources of good one-liners as The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Horse Soldiers, Major Dundee, and Glory.

But I will stop with my favorites above and let others post. Great topic Mark!

For shame Mr. Henry. For shame!

Any "true" John Wayne fan will know that the quote, "Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness." is certainly the character Captain Nathan Brittles but the movie is "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon".

For a good quote from The Horse Soldiers, and quite appropriate in this moment, I would have to suggest:
"Ding dong. Ding dong." Maj. Henry Kendall

Another great John Wayne quote:
"There'll be no locks or bolts between us, Mary Kate, except those in your own mercenary little heart!" Sean Thorton in The Quiet Man.

All in fun Steve! :) Great movie!

Matt and Mike, I got a kick out of both your decisions. I had a friend at UMF and we would quote those lines from Gettysburg allll day and just think it was the funniest thing. We would especily quote Buford. Susie sounded just like him. Scary.

All but here are my favorite quotes, and for sure you will hear me imitate Carol from Sling Blade at the next encampment.

"I like those french fried taters."-Sling Blade.

"The Bible says two men ought not lay together but I reckon the good Lord wouldn't send nobody like you to Haties."- Sling Blade.

"Daddy, I want a oompa-loompa."-Willie Wonka and the chockolate factory

"We don't need the map."-Blair Witch Project.

"In life you either move or you die."-Hope

"safest spot on the battlefield, right smack in the middle."-Gettysburg

"I love you." "I know."-Star Wars

"Look out it's a fiendish thingy!" "I've got a plan, a very famous plan." -Help!

Here are my clique ones.

"Duty is ours, the consequences are Gods."-Gods and Generals (well, pretty much every one of Jackson's lines)

"Its not up to me to forgive them. That's between them and God. I'll arrange the meeting."-Man on Fire

"It is not our abilities that show us who we really are. It is our choices. It does not due to dwell on dreams and forget to live." The Harry Potter movies.

OK, I am in with a few for now;
Black Hawk Down:
* It's what you do right now that makes a difference.
* You shouldn't have come here. This is a civil war. This is our war, not yours.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind~Dr. Seuss

I haven't had much to say lately, but can't resist adding to this list...

"You want me to think that you don't want me to go down there, but the subtle truth is that you really DON'T want me to go down there..."
-General Custer to Jack Crabb in Little Big Man

"You call yourself a King? Because you sit your ass on Purple Cushions??"
-King Henry to Philip in The Lion in Winter

"Everybody up! When the King is off his ass, NOBODY sleeps!"
-King Henry in The Lion in Winter

One of my favorite movies:

Memorable Quotes from Patton (1970)

Patton: Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

Patton: The Carthaginians defending the city were attacked by three Roman legions. The Carthaginians were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. Arab women stripped them of their tunics and their swords and lances. The soldiers lay naked in the sun. Two thousand years ago. I was here.

Patton: Rommel, you magnificent bastard. I read your book.

Patton: Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose.

Patton: Thirty years from now, when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you, "What did you do in the great World War II," you won't have to say, "Well... I shoveled shit in Louisiana."

Patton: Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight - wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and never will lose a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.

Patton: Now, an army is a team - it lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap.

Patton: The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill *their* blood. Shoot *them* in the belly.

Patton: We're gonna keep fighting. Is that CLEAR? We're gonna attack all night we're gonna attack the next morning. If we're not VICTORIOUS. Let no man come back alive.
Lt. Col. Charles R. Codman: You know General, sometimes the men don't know when you're acting.
Patton: It's not important for them to know. It's only important for me to know.

Clergyman: I was interested to see a Bible by your bed. You actually find time to read it?
Patton: I sure do. Every goddamn day.

Patton: For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.

Patton: Were not just going to shoot the bastards, were going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads on our tanks.

STranslator: The general would like to know if you will drink a toast with him.
Patton: Thank the general and tell him I have no desire to drink with him or any other Russian son of a bitch.
Translator: [Nervous] I can't tell him that!
Patton: Tell him, every word.
Translator: [In Russian] He says he will not drink with you or any Russian son of a bitch.
Russian general: [In Russian] Tell him he is a son of a bitch, too. Now!
Translator: [Very nervous] He says he thinks you are a son of a bitch, too.
Patton: [Laughing] All right. All right, tell him I'll drink to that; one son of a bitch to another.

Patton: Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man. If anything made by God can be overcome, anything made by man can be overcome.
