Today I’m exhausted from writing about two thousand words of Rebellion, so it’s going to be list day! This is a very capricious list, because it’s only the first ten to come to mind and they’re not really in any good order except for the last two. So here it goes:
10. Fight Club – “His name is Robert Paulsen.” Many
[Creepy, key point in the movie, where the narrator is sort of trying to take over but the cult is just too far gone. Always gives me chills.]
9. Constantine – “Right, John, you did tell me to move it, but if you would have told me there was a three hundred pound mirror you were dropping with a pissed-off demon, I would have moved it further, John!” Chas Kramer
[It’s not the most epic of lines, but it’s just so hysterical. Shia makes a really good spastic sidekick.]
8. Edward Scissorhands – “You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren't up there now... I don't think it would be snowing. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it.” Kim
[So one of the most famous in the movie, but it’s so absolutely pretty with the snow in the background and it makes me cry.]
7. Pride and Prejudice – “As it is I wouldn't dance with him for all of Darbyshire, let alone the miserable half.” Elizabeth Bennett
[It would be one of Darcy’s if I could add the video with his gorgeous puppy eyes, but this one I like because it’s Lizzie being feisty.]
6. Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure – “Deacon, do you realize you have just stranded one of Europe's greatest leaders in San Dimas?” Theodore Logan
[There’s just something so wonderfully ridiculous about the idea of losing Napoleon in a California water park. Gets me every time.]
5. The Dark Knight – “You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push!”
[Just seems kind of insightful. Plus Heath’s facial expressions make it.]
4. Fight Club – “I am Jack’s smirking revenge.” Edward Norton
[Classic. More chills.]
3. Say Anything – “I gave her my heart. She gave me a pen.” Lloyd
[It’s the best romantic movie line ever because the pen part makes it not be sappy, so it’s just really sweet and, well, Lloyd.]
2. V for Vendetta - “He was Edmond Dantes... and he was my father. And my mother... my brother... my friend. He was you... and me. He was all of us.” Evey Hammond
[Epic. It’s just such a sweet tribute to V and it takes the whole movie’s theme and manages to make it really short and sweet.]
1. The Dark Knight – “Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.” Lt. Gordon
[More epic. The narration over Batman escaping with the sad music is just the most heartwrenching scene ever.]
Now I think I’m going to go watch Princess Bride again…. Which didn’t make the list only because of silly author oversight. So number 11, “Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!”
