Great sci-fi and fantasy film/tv quotes!

[Trek_Girl42]

What are the greatest quotes in sci-fi and fantasy film/tv?
The only rule is to try to keep the number of quotes per post to five or less, as long lists in one post tend to get skimmed, and include the name of the film/show and character quoted.


One of my favourites:

"Get away from her you b****!" ~Ellen Ripley, Aliens

[The Signal]

Wash: This landing is going to get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define interesting!
Wash: "Oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die"?

- Serenity

For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects. - Gene Roddenberry

"Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realise how precious it is. How dear to us." - Dr Miles Bennell, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956)

"Step up to red alert."
"Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb." - Rimmer & Kryten, "Red Dwarf"

"It's not enough to survive. One has to be worthy of surviving." - Commander Adama

"You lot, you spend all your time thinking about dying — like you're gonna get killed by eggs, or beef, or global warming, or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible, that maybe you survive. This is 5 billion years in your future. This is the day, hold on: <checks time> this is the day the sun expands. Welcome to the end of the world." - The Doctor, welcoming Rose to "The End of the World"

"So this is how liberty dies — to thunderous applause." - Padmé Amidala



Sorry, I had to do six

Sorry, I had to do six

That's okay- great list, the point is just to keep people from copying and pasting long lists in.....Great idea to post a Roddenberry quote.

"I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."
~Wash, Serenity

"When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't crawl, when you can't do that, you find someone to carry you."
~Tracey, Firefly "The Message"

[Trek_Girl42]

Of course the classic:

"Luke. Use the Force."
~Obi Wan Kenobi, Star Wars

[sueKay]

Scotty: I know this ship like the back of my hand

*clunk!*

[Missster.Freeman]

Ripley: "HUDSON! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training."
[to Newt]
Ripley: Right?
[Newt apes a salute]
Hudson: "So why don't you put her in charge?"


Ripley: "You know Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them ****ing each other over for a ******* percentage!"


Hicks: "I like to keep this handy for close encounters."

- All Aliens


20 years later, and it's still one of my favourite films. That Ripley line. It's so true. It speaks volumes about humanity.

Absolutly, I was watching that last night, what a great movie- it really does hold up, even the fx still look great today, and overall an amazing film that stands the test of time. So many quotable moments in it certainly don't hurt.

*Wondering how to fight the aliens after having to give up their magazines*
"What're we supposed to use, man? Harsh language?"
~Frost, Aliens

[Missster.Freeman]

So many quotable moments in it certainly don't hurt.

LOL yeah. It's so full of quotes. I almost know them all off by heart.

I used to have this as a shutdown sound on my computer:

Hudson: "That's it man, game over man, it's game over!"



I now have the urge to watch Aliens tonight, for about the 1000th time.

[The Signal]

ROSE: Doctor, they have guns
DOCTOR: And I don't, which makes me the better person. They can shoot me dead but I'll have the moral high ground

- Rose and The Tenth Doctor, Doctor Who, Season 28, An Army of Ghosts

Love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens… makes her a home.

- Mal, Serenity

We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

- Wash, Firefly, Jaynestown

The good fight, yeah? You never know until you've been tested. I get that now.

- Doyle, Angel Season 1, Hero

Jonas:Is it really necessary to antagonize him?
[beat]
Jack:Yes.

- Jack and Jonas, SG1, Full Circle

[Trek_Girl42]

"There are three things I don't do: Tan, date... and sing in public."
~Angel, Angel "Judgement"

[DigiFluid]

*Wondering how to fight the aliens after having to give up their magazines*
"What're we supposed to use, man? Harsh language?"
~Frost, Aliens

That will always be one of my favourite lines from any movie

[PG15]

"Space, the final frontier...these are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, her five year mission, to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations...to boldly go where no man has gone before!"

I don't think I need to label it. You should all know where it's from.

Indeed - whenever I hear that line it sends a thrill down my spine.

"Do or do not ... there is no try." Yoda, Star Wars

Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back - Do not read if you haven't seen the film!:

Spoiler:

"Luke, I am your father." Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker

I can't think of anything else for the present!

From Buffy (don't know what episode):

(Buffy finds Spike outside her house)
Buffy: "Spike, what are you doing here... Five words or less."
Spike (counting on fingers): "Out. For. A. Walk... B*tch."
