For some reason I have been obsessed with this lately. Some of the great movie lines keep rattling around in my head. My all-time personal favorite is "Get away from her , you bitch!" Aliens, of course. Ripley to the alien mother, protecting Newt. What's your favorite sci fi line?

Ah so many:

From the Explorers (1985)

Wak (Alien): "Look, I know I must look weird to you but how do you think you look to me? Listen, I watched four episodes of "Lassie" before I figured out why the little hairy kid never spoke. I mean, he rolled over, sure, he did that fine but, I don't think he deserved a series for that."

Innerspace:

Lt. Tuck Pendleton: "We're gonna drink this one to Ozzie. A good man who tried to save my ass by injecting me into yours."

Lt. Tuck Pendleton: Congratulations, Jack. You just digested the bad guy.

But I think that "Shiny let's be bad guys" wins it. It's just so cool!

"Shiny!, Let's be bad guys" - classic.
"Twixt my nethers" - right alongside it.
"Please don't shoot at the nuclear weapon" - Travolta in Broken Arrow
"Get away from her, you bitch" - Ripley, Aliens is another classic

Also: "Jayne, your scaring the women"

Many favs but this one sticks out for me:

Way back, one of the channels played a version of Aliens that had some deleted scenes in it (things like the auto-gun sequence). I was so intrigued, I wrote FOX Video (something I had never done before, or since) asking if this version was available (because they were not on my VHS tape, which was the only widely available media at the time). I was told that not only was it not available, but there was only one version, and they had no idea what I was talking about.

A year or so later, I got to go to the grand opening of a Best Buy/FYE (can't remember the name) type place with a friend (she had help set the store up), and bought the "Special Wide Screen Edition" of Aliens. Mainly because it had the "These don't exist" deleted scenes I was looking for... Of course I'm sure everybody will just be jealous as hell when I say this was on LaserDisc... Because DVD's didn't exist at the time.

Of course, since I now had the disc, I needed a LaserDisc player... Which meant I ended up spending $1000.00 to get a nice Pioneer one. Ah!! The good old days.

So you could say that I liked the movie

Caz

Edit: I opened the LaserDiscs to look at them (Yes I still have them, although my player is broke), and the response letter from CBS/Fox Video fell out. It's dated June 22, 1989... God I feel old.

I've always been partial to the speech given by Vinz Klortho, keymaster of Gozer when asked by Igon who Gozer exactly is:

Gozer the Traveller will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldronaii the Traveller came as a large and moving Torb. Then during last of the Meketrex supplicants they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day I tell you!

I wonder what Vinz might have added to this speech if 1000 years from now he was again asked about Gozer:

Then in the year 1986 when our prisioners were released, the traveller's form was again chosen; that of a giant beast made entirely of marshmellow! Many subcreatures were crushed and undone on that day! Hail Gozer, Volguus Zildrohar!

The quote is actually:

"Come with me if you want to live" first uttered by Kyle Reese in the original Terminator movie. He says it to Sarah Connor when they first meet.

It's what started it all. And it's been used in every Terminator movie ans subsequent TV series since. I, for one, love it when a line - a signature line - is used in such a manner. Unlike other signature lines this one is used by various characters within the same context.

"May the force be with you" is generic in nature.
"Live long and prosper" is mainly used by one character.
So is "resistance is futile."
Ditto with "who you gonna call," and the aforementioned "I'll be back."

Funny thing is that "come with me, if you want to live," is used by one human and then 3 terminators. But each with significant meaning for the humans in peril. It is, for me, an iconic line. The storytellers in each of the movies and in the TV series were wise to use it.

As mentioned above, the line is, "Come with me if you want to live" and I am wondering if this is the line used by Cage on the beach to Rita in Edge of Tomorrow.

decided to take our chances in the sunlight. Small as those chances
might be."

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)

The Gyro Captain: They've got you wrong. You're not a coward.
STUPID, maybe. But not a coward.

The Gyro Captain: Lingerie. Oh, remember lingerie?

OK. This looks like a good, fun thread. So I decided to bump it.
Now I'm told, if the thread is too old, I'm Necroposting!

But if no one's making New fun threads in here, what choice do I have?

It's a good thread to bump. I read every post and thought most of them were quite worthy.

Brody: You're gonna need a bigger boat.

Brody: Then why don't we have one more drink and go down and cut that shark open?
Ellen Brody: Martin? Can you do that?
Brody: I can do anything; I'm the chief of police.

Hooper: Well, this is not a boat accident! And it wasn't any propeller; and
it wasn't any coral reef; and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! It was a shark!

Quint: Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women.

Hooper: Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine,
an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine
does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that's all.

Can I cheat and mention the best radio show ever, The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy?

Arthur Dent: I mean, what is the point?
Nutrimatic Drink Machine: Nutrition and pleasurable sense data. Share And Enjoy.
Arthur: Listen, you stupid machine, it tastes filthy! Here, take this cup back! (he throws the cup at it)
Nutrimatic Drink Machine: If you have enjoyed the experience of this drink, why not share it with your friends?
Arthur: Because I want to keep them! Will you try and comprehend what I'm telling you? That drink -
Nutrimatic Drink Machine: That drink was individually tailored to meet your personal requirements for nutrition and pleasure.
Arthur: Ah. So I'm a masochist on a diet, am I?!

The Guide: The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy is an indispensable companion to all those who are keen to make sense of life in an infinitely complex and confusing universe; for though it cannot hope to be helpful or informative on all matters, it does make the reassuring claim that where it is inaccurate, it is at least definitively inaccurate. In cases of major discrepancy it is always reality that's got it wrong.

Charles Dickens does not often resonate for me. But after Spock gives Tale of Two Cities as Kirk's birthday gift, and then offers this quote from the book, it was pertinent.
But the concept was well known in military circles. It is the binding concept of voluntary military service. At any moment, your life may be the price of Liberty for people you have never met.

My thoughts went to the same movies. We watch them more times, so that slants it, but also, good lines help make a great movie.

Mind is kind of a fog right now, but here were my first thoughts

"Accelerated decrepitude" in fact, that whole scene.
"At least they don't screw each other over for a damned percentage!" - hey, we don't know that, do we? There you are, just minding your own business tending a xenomorph pub on level 17, and someone has this great idea, and before you know it, you're stranded on some abandoned world, with a little girl and her feisty stepmom."

This is still a fun thread & could be more active.
But for now, I'm not remembering favorite lines ... I'm
thinking of movies that I haven't seen in years.
.......

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms - 1953, Cecil Kellaway, Lee Van Cleef
(the Lead was Paul Hubschmid; but I have no memory of him.)

Professor Tom Nesbitt: The world's been here for millions of years.
Man's been walking upright for a comparatively short time. Mentally
we're still crawling.

Cpl. Stone: Colonel says you need a dead shot, mister.
Professor Tom Nesbitt: Yes. Ever use a grenade rifle?
Cpl. Stone: Pick my teeth with it.

Cpl. Stone: If you can load it, I can fire it.

Cpl. Stone: I can't hit him from here, mister.
Professor Tom Nesbitt: [nodding to the roller coaster] Did you ever ride one of those things?

Robocop - 1987, Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Kurtwood Smith
"The best action movie of the year!"

Manson: Where are you from?
Murphy: Metro South.
Manson: Welcome to hell.

Officer Lewis: I asked him his name. He didn't know.
Bob Morton: Oh, great. Let me make it real clear to you. He doesn't have a name. He's got a program. He's product. Is that clear?

RoboCop: [entering a convenience store, robbery in progress] Drop the gun, you are under arrest!
Hophead: [firing semi-automatic at RoboCop] Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!
[bullets deflect off RoboCop's armor]
Hophead: [RoboCop grabs gun barrel and bends downward]

Forced you to take drugs! Why would anybody force you to take drugs?

And "all I see are dead people."

You know, you people don't exist. You're not real. We can't travel back in time. You're not here. You can't trick me.

Dune 2021:

Helen Mohiam: The test is simple. Remove your hand from the box, and you die.

Paul Atreides: What's in the box?

Helen Mohiam: Pain.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419/quotes/?ref_=tt_trv_qu

Why that line? I'm convinced many people I know would pass the test with glory. Many others would fail because they hide a terrible secret reason given in Dune.

This is another favorite line, but it didn't get into the movie:

“I just received news from Legendary that we are officially moving forward with Dune: Part Two,” Villeneuve said in a statement. “It was a dream of mine to adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune and I have the fans, the cast, and crew, Legendary and Warner Bros. to thank for supporting this dream. This is only the beginning.”

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/dune-2-greenlit-mo
vie-release-date-1235036655/

Another favorite: ‘Dune’ Is the Movie We Always Wanted

I wouldn’t say that this “Dune” matches the vision I had when reading the book. It’s better. The visuals surpass my imagination — those ornithopters! The actors give the characters more depth than the book’s author previously had in my mind.
