There are a LOT more, but here's a few to start:
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
- Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"
A man being rich is like a girl being pretty. Sure its not everything, but my goodness, doesnt it help?
- Lorelie Lee (Marilyn Monroe) in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
Cary Grant: Tell me... How does a girl like you get to be a girl like you?
Eva Marie Saint: Lucky, I guess?
Grant: No, not lucky -- naughty, wicked, up to no good... Ever kill anyone? Because I bet you could tease a man to death without half trying... So, stop trying.
- "North by Northwest"
"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
- Harry Lime (Orson Welles) in "The Third Man"
He's not the Messiah! He's a very naughty boy!
- Monty Python "Life of Brian"
Warning: May be off color, but pretty funny.
Tom: Listen to this one then; you open a company called the Arse Tickler's Fahggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dild0s, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other dild0 can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bollocks. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a check to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the checks for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arse Tickler's Fahggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those checks; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in checks!
