This Is Your Brain...

If you check my profile I have a list of my most favoritest movies. I usually like to pick a best line from a movie. Below is the compilation of the best lines of the short list of movies I cared to declare as my favorites. Where I could, I've included links to Youtube so you can see the clips yourself (spoiler warning: clip of Fried Green Tomatoes takes place at a critical scene, so if you've never seen it, rent it and watch the whole thing). So in honor of Valentine's Day I'll start with a chick flick.

French Kiss - Kate: "A healthy person is someone who expresses what they're feeling inside. Express - not repress."
Luc: [chuckles] "In that case, you must be one of the healthiest people in the world."
Kate: "Now why shut me out? You know what happens to people who shut everybody out?"
Luc: "They live quiet, peaceful lives?"
Kate: "No, they fester."
Luc: "Fester? I am festering?"
Kate: "Inside, fester and rot. I've seen it happen. You'll become one of those hunched back lonely old men sitting in the corner of a crowded cafe mumbling to yourself, 'My ass is twitching. You people make my ass twitch.'"

Beaches - CC Bloom: "I'm playing a prison guard on death row."
John Pierce: "I know, I did the casting."
CC Bloom: "Well, I thought I'd have a better part."
John Pierce: "Not yet."
CC Bloom: "But this isn't me."
John Pierce: "Well, act like it is."
CC Bloom: [turns to leave] "He hates my hair."

Fried Green Tomatoes - Sispsey: "It's all right, honey. Let her go. Let her go. You know, Miss Ruth was a lady. And a lady always knows when to leave."

Nat'l Lampoons Christmas Vacation - Eddie Johnson: "You surprised to see us, Clark?"
Clark Grisold: "Oh, Eddie...If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now."

Scary Movie 1 - Shorty: "Yo' mother!"
Brenda: "You my brother. It's yo' mother, too, jackass!"
Shorty: "Oh, yeah. Well, then your fatha's stupid!"
Brenda: "So? I don't know him!"
Shorty: "Me neither."

Scary Movie 3 - Brenda Meeks: "Cindy, the news is on! Another little white girl done fell down a well. Fifty black people get they ass beat by police today, but the whole world gotta stop for one little whitey down a hole."

A League of Their Own - Jimmy Dugan: "Start using your head! That's the lump that's three feet above your ass!"

Stiff Upper Lips - Aunt Agnes: "Come quick! Mr. Trilling has achieved the most amazing erection." [Cut to Trilling finishing a house of cards]

Spice World - Martin Barnfield: "Act? Did anyone care if Marilyn Monroe could act? All they cared was, was she in focus?"

She-Devil - Bob Patchett: "You're a bad mother, a lousy wife, and a terrible cook! In fact, have you looked in a mirror recently? I don't even think you're a woman. You know what you are? You're a she-devil!"

Beverly Hillbillies - Laura Jackson: [in mock French accent] "And all women know, ah-pee-nis is hard to find.
Jed Clampett: [startled] "What?"
Laura Jackson: "Ah-PEE-nis."
Jed Clampett: [stares] "Oh, happiness!"

Groundhog Day - Phil Conners: "People like blood sausage too, people are morons ... Would you like some blood sausage? I have some here in the glove compartment."

Mean Girls - Mr. Duvall: "So how was your summer?"
Ms. Norbury: "I got divorced."
Mr. Duvall: "Oh, my carpal tunnel came back."
Ms. Norbury: "I win."

Monster-in-Law Viola Fields: [interviewing Britney Spears type after finding out she's being replaced] "So what you're saying is that you dont know whats going on in the world. And yet you've sold over 5 million albums...CDs...to millions of kids who listen to your lyrics. 'If you wanna know me, look inside my make-up bag.' Your influicing an entire population of kids who won't know how to think straight. Or how to vote for a president. Or understand the significance of Roe vs Wade."
Pop Star: "Oh! I don't support boxing as a sport. I think it's too violent."
Viola Fields: [Throws herself on pop star] "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
