Mine are “I Drink Your Milkshake,” “Ogres Are Like Onions,” “This Is Sparta,” “She Doesn’t Even Go Here,” “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility,” “You Shall Not Pass,” and “Why So Serious.” I could go on, but those are the ones I narrowed my list down to.

“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” Lilo and stitch 2002

,,With great power...Comes great responsability." I just love this quote♥️

"You should have gone for the head" is more quotable than "I'm inevitable"

My favorite Endgame line is still: *You could not accept your own failure. Where did that lead you....back to me.* This line is devastating because it's true. After all the heroes went thru and suffered - they were staring defeat in the face - yet again.

[@GoddessGirl2121]

As much as I love “With great power comes great responsibility” I actually like Peter’s “When you can do the things that I can do, and you don’t and than the bad things happen, they happen because of you” from Civil War better because the “great responsibility” line is kinda vague whereas the second one from a very young Peter shows exactly how seriously he takes his responsibility to help the people when he can because he knows that he has the power to help

[@jamalvargas6146]

" Remember Remember The 5th Of November The Gun Powder Treason and Plot" V For Vendetta excellent film

[@FallenPit62]

“I know of no reason the gun powder treason shall ever be forgot”

[@stephenjacewicz4594]

"What a day, what a lovely day!" Oh man that is so classic from Fury Road and also the keys scene in Get Out that was so great Chris yells at Rose to give her the keys and she says- "You know I can't give you the keys, right babe?" The delivery of these lines is done fantastically in that film. Also The Parasite song is great don't know if that is considered a quote when they are about the ring the doorbell. And of course we cannot forgot "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!".There are so many great quotes this century for sure. Even James Gunn has really funny lines in Slither and The Suicide Squad. There are great Christian movie lines too this decade, Jesus is our only hope! God Bless everyone.
