Doc Holiday: My hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Tombstone

Did he even have a bad line in that movie? Sweet lord Kilmer exuded (is that a word?) awesomeness as Doc.

If everyone will forgive me, it's more than just a line in a movie. This soliloquy kills it.

From a movie called "Big Country" man oh man oh man. This movie is to die for.

"Can't shoot a man facing you? Here's my back."

BTW for you "young souls" the guy delivering this speech is the same guy who sings " have a holly jolly christmas" AND "frosty the snowman" AND "Rudolf the red nose reindeer"

"What a dump."

Bette Davis in Beyond the Forest

The line is so evocative, saying so much about the character, the tone of the film, the theme, and the plot. All in three words. And the way she says it is perfect. Great actress.


I also like the film Castaway with Tom Hanks for what it doesn't say. That film goes on at times for five, ten and even 15 minutes with no dialogue and yet is completely captivating (for me anyway). The silence is very evocative of what is going on in the film because he is alone, completely alone, for years. So the silence really echoes his experience.

Davis is "fill in the blank". I have no words for her greatness.

Crawford and Davis in "What ever happened to Baby Jane". 'nuff said.

When the world revolved around true actors and actresses and not Kardashians nor johnny depps nor kate uptons nor anyone else posting "selfies" and starring in bullshit movies these days.

It's not exactly lines in dialogue, but it's pretty good.
