Best Movie Quotes – What Are Your Favorite Movie Quotes?

I’ve got a confession to make: I love movie quotes. Whether we’re talking about the best movie quotes of all time or some line from an obscure foreign film, I work them in whenever I can. I’m especially pleased when I can slip one into a conversation and the other person doesn’t even notice. Of course, it’s really cool when someone actually recognizes that you’re quoting Dalton from Road House, but I digress.

We previously did an article about the best movie quotes ever, and you can find that article by clicking on this little blue link. I figured it was time to revisit the subject of the best movie quotes of all time, and so here we are. Check out the movie quotes below, and be sure to chime in on the comments section and share your own personal favorites with us. And don’t forget to check back with OnlyGoodMovies in the future for more posts on movie quotes.
