What are your favorite movie quotes?

"Bridesmaids" is rife with funny quotes.

"... and I'm READY to PAR-TAAAAYYYY! With the best of them, and I'm gonna go down to the river ..." -- Annie, "Bridesmaids"

That is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite comedies of all time. Occasionally, I'll whip that out when I'm in a good mood, usually on a Friday. And usually by myself because I don't want to get fired. Remember it?



Anyway, as we're rapidly approaching the summer movie season, and what with one of the year's potential biggest blockbusters already in theaters (i.e., "Hunger Games" -- heard of it yet?), I thought it was time to trade funny movie quotes.

Here are a few that immediately came to my crazy mind:

"What kind of plane is it?"
"Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the window and wheels. It looks like a big Tylenol." -- Johnny's response to a reporter in the control tower on "Airplane!"

"My mother always said, 'Live on Fisher Island, get buried in Palm Beach. That way, you'll have the best of Florida.'" -- Albert in "The Birdcage"

I could rattle off some more (like "I'm gonna climb that like a tree" from "Bridesmaids"), but I'll spare you -- unless you have a few you'd like to trade.

Seriously, what are your favorite funny movie quotes? I think we could all use a laugh on a Monday, right?

Peace, love and going down to the river ... XOXO

It's not funny but:
"Some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone." - Red, Shawshank Redemption

But on that glorious day in May 1963, Gordo Cooper went higher, farther, and faster than any other American - 22 complete orbits around the world; he was the last American ever to go into space alone. And for a brief moment, Gordo Cooper became the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen.

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
