Fantastic Famous Movie Quotes and Tv Quotations

Any good movie or television show with any decent respect for itself leaves behind memorable famous movie quotes or sharp TV quotes for the general public to ponder and reflect on.  

However, the really, really good and famous movies quotes do more than just inspire and tickle your brain!

The absolute best movie quotes somehow cleverly manage to insert themselves into everyday language.

For instance, how many times have you heard someone in a thick German accent quote the classic Terminator lines "Hasta la vista, baby" or "I'll be back" when they were taking their leave.

Or who haven't heard someone taking a shot at impersonating Robert De Niro from Taxi Driver "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?" when feigning to be insulted by something someone had said to them or when standing in front of a mirror?

Yes, quite often we encounter these great movie sayings and have a fond memory of the first time we heard these immortal lines. Of course, such immortal lines aren't limited to just movies by any means. There are also a number of famous television quotes out there as well for us to delight in.

Have a look at the movie quotes below and think about when you might have heard some of these classic lines.

Everlasting Popular Movie Quotes

Let's start off with one of the most movie quotes from mr. Humphrey Bogart himself when he symbolically toasts to Ingrid Bergman:

Here's looking at you, kid.
~ Casablanca (1942) ~

How many times has someone said the below immortal line with their cheesy Carey Grant voice and had you roll your eyes.

It is tired, it is clichéd, but it is still a classic nonetheless :-)

Don't apologize - it's a sign of weakness.
~ She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) ~

Know what else is a sign of weakness? That exact line! No, but in all seriousness, this is a motivational speech tool that is going to leave people with a bit to think about.

Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.
~ Betty Davis in All About Eve (1950) ~

When you hear this line, there is no doubt that you are going to wonder where the heck that bumpy ride is coming from.

While it clearly makes no sense out of context, it is still fun to say to see if you can get an agitated look from someone on the sidelines.

Of course, outside of all the popular and famous movie quotes we find that television also produces some famous TV quotes as well.

Television is notorious for having some off key and rather special quotes as well.

Fabulous Famous TV Quotes

When we look at the different famous TV quotes, we might begin to notice that a majority of the most beloved sayings were ones that came from sitcoms that deal with our own ideals of family life.

And no matter how ideal family life was portrayed in the famous Cosby Show back in the good old 1980s, it's great to see that even the always very correct Claire Huxtable is only human! Check out these classic lines:

New rule in this house starting now! Nobody's to touch anybody anywhere with anything for the rest of their lives!
~ Claire Huxtable - The Cosby Show (Phylicia Rashad) ~

And now let's leave scene for Jerry Seinfield:

I wonder if illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?
~ Jerry Seinfeld ~

While we clearly understand that the humor is that the illiterate individual has trouble reading, the real question might be: Will dyslexic people do better or worse with words when they are eating the jumbled alphabet soup? Yes, this is an interesting question but it is probably also one of most irrelevant questions known to man! That's why we like it! :-)

Of course, we also find that many of our beloved dramas also added a sense of cynicism and humor into the mix as well. Here is an example of one of the funny famous TV quotes that comes from the X-Files.

Your contact, while interesting in the context of science fiction, was, at least in my memory, recounting a poorly veiled synopsis of an episode of Rocky and Bullwinkle.
~ Gillian Anderson as Agent Scully in the X-Files ~

Sarcasm is an impressive tool that television writers use to help lighten to mood. While the information dense X-Files quote above may need some time to properly sink in and plant its seed of humor, it was well worth it, wasn't it!

As we continue in this process, it's now time to take a step back from these famous TV quotes and return to some of the movie quotes.

Since they do say laughter is the best medicine, we should take a moment to enjoy some of the best famous funny movie quotes that have ever released.

Funny and Famous Quotes

Imagine the panic and insanity of being on an airplane that has no pilot. Terrible, right!

Then add a bit of Mr. Leslie "Don't Call Me Shirley" Nielsen to this catastrophic equation and you don't know whether to laugh or cry. Here is a great quote from the classic film Airplane.

There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
~ Airplane ~

And while enjoying our stay in the territory of the absurd let's continue with the Wizard of Oz:

Scarecrow (Ray Bolger): 'I haven't got a brain ... only straw.'
Dorothy (Judy Garland): 'How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?'
Scarecrow: 'I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking ... don't they?'
Dorothy: 'Yes, I guess you're right.'
~ Wizard of Oz ~

Could this have been a social commentary on people who have trouble thinking for themselves? Noooo!

While there is no doubt that many people enjoy talking before ever thinking about the words that are coming out, this social commentary is a legendary one that you should consider when someone has a moment where they are talking without their two tiny brain cells connecting.

While staying within the area of lots of talking with little content, let's have a look at something many guys probably recognize:

Yeah I called her up, she gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something, I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention.
~ Dumb and Dumber ~

If you're a guy, you know you are guilty of this. You're sitting around as your girl friend starts talking about shoes, clothes and how ... well, you actually don't really know what comes next because you're not really paying attention anymore! ;-)

And staying within the realm of humor: One of the favorite things to do in Hollywood in the old days was to use humor with a play on words. What we find here is a look at one such quote about an elephant being in someone's pyjamas.

One morning I shot an elephant in my pyjamas. How he got in my pyjamas, I don't know.
~ Animal Crackers ~

These were of course just some of the famous funny movie quotes that are out there.

But as far as movie quotes go, there are other categories out there. One in particular is the popular movies quotes that have graced the big screen.
