What's Your Favorite Short Snippet Of A Movie Scene?
I was trying to come up with one I liked better than "Game over man, game over", and was failing. Maybe you can give me some inspiration.

Game over man:

1. How short?
This one's a couple minutes, but it's one of my favorites:

2. Most excellent rant indeed. I was just looking for a couple minutes tops...
Not some long 20 minute thing.

4. One of many from Strangelove.
My favorite is George C Scott doing his Chickens in the barnyard scene, but I couldn't find it.
This is the checklist. A minor gem.

33. There is some proverb that says when you expect a battle, get up earlier then your opponent.
Heard that somewhere.

23. When Clint starts drinking in 'Unforgiven'
The swordfight in 'The Princess Bride'

The "Now bleed with me!" scene in 'Braveheart'

All of 'Lawrence of Arabia' (but if I had to choose it would be the "my fear is my concern" scene, or the scene after the slaughter of the Turkish column, or the first meeting in Feisal's tent, or...)

And too many others to choose from...

34. You did notice the connection between two of the movies didn't you?
Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven, has the same cuts on his cheeks that the Inigo Montoya had in 'Princess Bride'

Red Stripes would be my guess. (Someone posted this a few weeks ago, it is a great song)

24. "Hombre" starring Paul Newman, Richard Boone, Fredric March
The clip below is the trailer there are no other clips available. It was based on a book by Elmore Leonard so it is full of macho one line gotchas. The best is when a man comes up waving a white flag to newman, and when after failing to negotiate newman's surrender, the Newman character "hombre" says:

"Hey, I have on question for you."

"What is that, senor?" the bad guy giggles.

"How are you going to get back down that mountain?" and Hombre shoots him in the leg.

27. Casablanca has too many to choose from.
Here is one:

Captain Louis Renault (Claude Rains)

What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?


Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart)

My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.


Captain Louis Renault (Claude Rains)

The waters? What waters? We're in the desert!


Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart)

I was misinformed.

28. ~
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay door, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Sydney: Hello?
President: Yeah, Hi. Is this Sydney?
Sydney: Leo?
President: No, this is Andrew Shepherd.
Sydney: Oh! It's Andrew Shepherd! Yeah, you're hilarious, Richard, you're a regular riot!
President: No, this isn't Richard...this is Andrew Shepherd.
Sydney: Oh! I'm so glad you called because I forgot to tell you today what a nice ass you have...and I'm also impressed that you got my phone number given the fact that I don't have a phone. Good night, Richard!
President: No, this isn't Richard.

Neidermeyer: And, most recently, that a Roman toga party was held, from which we have received two dozen reports of individual acts of peversion, SO profound and disgusting, the decorum prohibits listing them here. These are the charges recorded this day, November 15th, 1962.

Jake: Four fried chickens, and a coke.
Elwood: And some dry white toast, please.

Crash Davis: Well I believe in the soul... the cock...the pussy... the small of a woman's back... the hangin' curveball... high fiber... good scotch... that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent overrated crap... I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Goodnight.

Cameron: 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...
Ferris: ..it is his fault he didn't lock the gararge.

Clemenza: Leave the gun. Take the cannollis.

Ray: I think we better split up.
Egon: Good idea.
Venkman: Yeah... we can do more damage that way.

Borodin: Do you think they will let me live in Montana?
Capt. Ramius: I would think they'll let you live wherever you want.
Borodin: Good. Then I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman, and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pick-up truck, or umm... possibly even...a recreational vehicle, and drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
Capt. Ramius: Oh yes.
Borodin: No papers?
Capt. Ramius: No papers. State-to-state.

Mona Lisa: Well, I hate to bring it up, because I know you have enough pressure on you already. BUT, we agreed to get married as soon as you won your first case. Meanwhile, ten years later, my niece! The daughter of my sister is getting married! My biological clock is tickin' like this, and with the way this case is goin', I ain't never gettin' married!
Vinny: Lisa, I don't need this. I swear to God I don't need this right now. Okay? I've got a judge that's just achin' to throw me in jail! An idiot who wants to fight me for $200! Slaughtered pigs! Giant loud whistles! I ain't slept in five days! I've got no money! A dress code problem! And a little murder case, which in the balance holds the lives of two innocent kids. Not to mention.... YOUR biological clock! My career! Your life! Our marriage! And let's see... what else can we pile on? Is there any more shit we can pile on to the top of the outcome of this case?! IS IT POSSIBLE?
Mona Lisa: Maybe it was a bad time to bring it up.

Vezzini: Haha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: Never get involved in a land war in Asia. Only slightly less well know is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

Doc Holliday: I'm your Huckleberry.

Clark: I think you're all fucked in the head! We're 10 hours from the fuckin' fun park and you want to bail out! Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun, and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fuckin' fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles! You'll be whistling "Zippity Do-da" out of your assholes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrammage to see a moose! Praise Marty Moose! Holy shit!

41. Tombstones's shotglass scene with Michael Biehn and Val Kilmer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmdfD2byTuY

We met Michael Biehn at a "monster" convention (don't ask) and instead of asking about Terminator, my SO asked him how much time he had to practice the gun handling he does in the scene. He took about 5 minutes to describe practicing, and then how hard it was to do the bit it when everyone on the set was afraid that he'd accidentally let go of the gun and crack one of the stars upside the head with it. Very cool (well, not for the people behind us in the line).
