Final Lines in Movies...

[TeeBone]

Granted, this thread is nonsensical, but it was brought on by the best/worst final line in any movie......EVER!!!

I'm speaking of course of the 1989 classic film, Roadhouse.
After a glorious battle Dalton wages with members of the Wesley Gang, Tinker; the overweight doofus and only surviving member of Wesley's gang utters the phrase, "...A polar bear fell on me."
To me, it gets no better because of its awfulness. So I ask you, Do you know a better final line to a movie?

"There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."

Lock It Up!

[Mike Teacher]

I was continuing to shrink, to become... what? The infinitesimal? What was I? Still a human being? Or was I the man of the future? If there were other bursts of radiation, other clouds drifting across seas and continents, would other beings follow me into this vast new world? So close - the infinitesimal and the infinite. But suddenly, I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept. The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet - like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens. The universe, worlds beyond number, God's silver tapestry spread across the night. And in that moment, I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thought in terms of man's own limited dimension. I had presumed upon nature. That existence begins and ends in man's conception, not nature's. And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away. And in their place came acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no zero. I still exist!

“Nowhere special.”
“Nowhere special. I always wanted to go there.”
“Come on..."

“This girl, she didn't know where she was goin' or what she was goin' to do. She didn't have no money on her. Maybe she'd meet up with a character. I was hopin' things would work out for her. She was a good friend of mine.”

“I'm so happy that I am alive, in one piece and short. I'm in a world of shit, yes. But I am alive. And I am not afraid.”

“You better not cut up nor otherwise harm no whores, or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons of bitches.”

“Madness. Madness...”

"The horror...the horror..."

“Well...nobody's perfect!"

“The old man was right, only the farmers won. We lost. We'll always lose.”

“Mein Fuehrer! I CAN WALK!!!"

And the ultimate that wins no matter what:

“You finally really did it...you MANIACS! You blew it up! God damn you! God damn you all to HELL!!!"”

[TheMojoPin]

Oh, and one of my personal favorites has been in my sig for a while:

“Well, me and the boys here, we got some work to do. You wanna come along? It ain't like it used to be...but it'll do...”

Yeah, I can think of a thousand movies that I love so much more, but goddamn, is there a more famous or instantly memorable final line in the history of film?

these should be closing lines. i agree. with that said i reconsider my previous entry and submit:

I happened upon Roadhouse last night and honestly could not stop laughing for about five minutes at the end. Worse than the awful, 'Polar Bear' line Tinker delivers, there is a scene at the end where Dalton sticks a knife through the gas pedal of a car and points it at Wesley's house, whereupon; the Gang unloads shotguns into it, causing the car to crash. If you watch the guy who was the bartender Dalton fired at the Double Deuce, he is shaking his leg like Elvis and smacking gum the entire time he is unloading his gun. I don't know why, but to me, it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. What's worse, the movie or the fact that I love it for being so bad and have picked apart the end of it so damn much?

Hells no, especially not today. If you polled a random 50 people on the street, I'd bet good money that even if they knew that Casabanca quote, most of them wouldn't know what movie it was from. Hell, the most famous lines from Casablanca are ones that don't even exist.

Well, you're wrong

:wink:

Other than "Play it again, Sam" which other famous so-called lines don't exist?

[TheMojoPin]

Well, pretty much that one.

Well, pretty much that one.

Okay, just checking, because there are a LOT of famous lines from Casablanca ("We'll always have Paris," "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine." "Round up the usual suspects" amongst others).

Now you're right, they are probably not as famous as they were 20 years ago. But I'm always impressed by the number of great quotable lines from that movie.

Like I was saying, I have little doubt plenty of people know those quotes...I just wouldn't be surprised if most of them had no idea where they came from.

Toss the "YOU MANIACS...!" line at most poeple, and I'd be shocked if they didn't know where it was from.

I don't disagree with that in general, but I think that of the people who know the line "beginning of a beautiful friendship" the majority know it comes from Casablanca.

God bless you, sir. You have far more faith in the American public not having shitty, shitty knowledge of classic films than I.

Why do you always assume that everyone but yourself is either musically or cinematically retarded?

Because it's been like pulling teeth to get people to watch films that are in B&W. Hell, in most of the film classes I've taken, a good chunk of the class zones out or groans or whatever if it's a B&W film.

And I didn't say "everyone." I said "most." "Most" out of millions of people still leaves a lot out.

[grlNIN]

EDIT:
Bender was the last role to be cast, and it was between John Cusack and Judd Nelson. Cusack didn't look threatening enough for Bender (though he became pretty angry when he didn't get the role). Nicolas Cage also read for the role at one point. Rick Moranis was originally cast as Carl, the janitor.

John Hughes regarding a sequel for The Breakfast Club (as of 1999): "I know everybody would love to watch it. But I'm too fond of those characters," Hughes said. "I thought about it. I could do it in prose. I know what will happen to them. I know them. But to do it with real actors - with Molly and Judd and Ally - they'd never come back together again. There's no excuse that could ever put them in the same room ever again. There isn't anything in their lives after high school relevant to that day...
