"As you wish !!!!"



Princess bride

[Enter stage left]

8. Absolutely loved The Princess Bride, one of the greatest shows ever!

There were so many great lines;

He's just mostly dead.

Because I know something you don't know...I'm not left handed, there's something I ought to tell you, I'm not left handed either.

We could go on forever in this wonderful movie.

[OldBaldy1701E]

34. OH, I sure do!

(Damn, they don't have the specific scene on Youtube.)

It is from one of my favorite movies, and stars three of my favorite actors... including a young Matthew Broderick in his third film.

Amazingly the trailer shows the result of the line. The bit where the soldier falls into the moat is from that scene!

[Ocelot II]

13. "You can't really dust for vomit."

Nigel, on mysterious death of drummer Eric “Stumpy Joe” Childs, who choked to death on someone else's vomit.

[Enter stage left]

14. Well, I guess that is humorous,

Keeping that in mind, the funniest line in film history is, "I'll have what she's having," from When Harry Met Sally, IMHO. But I've always liked Ali MacGraw's response to Richard Benjamin's "I'm not a planner, I'm a liver" in Goodbye, Columbus. "I'm a pancreas," she says.
