"For better hallway vision."
"We're on a mission from God."
JOHN CRICHTON
How do you say 'we're screwed' in your native tongue?
AERYN SUN
I'm sure your world has no force so ruthless, so disciplined.
JOHN CRICHTON
Oh, we call 'em linebackers, or serial killers. Depends on whether they're professional or amateur.

Speaking of Alan Rickman:
PRINCE JOHN: "Why a spoon, cousin?"
SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM (RICKMAN): "Because it's dull, you twit! It'll hurt more!"
In the sprit of the holidays:
Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one: I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, fore-fleshing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is. Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?"

It;s definitely a toss up between Rickman and Charles Grodin in Midnight Run. Interestingly enough both films came out on the same day.
Not Claude Rains in Casablanca? Or Ernest Thesiger in Bride of Frankenstein? Sydney Greenstreet in The Maltese Falcon? James Mason in North by Northwest? Maurice Evans in Planet of the Apes? Martin Landau in Ed Wood? Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight? Or any of the stars who have won Best Supporting Actor Oscars?
And that's just counting the guys!
I mean, I like Die Hard, but . . . .

There's an idea -- Best Supporting Actor quotes (winners or nominees)!
"I fought as long and as hard as you. Every day you fought, I fought! I'm a general. Look. Look! Here's my pay, a little dust. I can't even buy a bottle of tequila. We beat Diaz, he's living in a palace in Paris. We beat Huerta, he's rich in the United States. I have to beg pennies from people who never fired a gun!" -- Anthony Quinn as Eufemio Zapata, Viva Zapata!

Okay, I'll play:
"You want to know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way . . . ."
--Sean Connery in The Untouchables.
And of course everyone who reads it will read it while doing Sean Connery's voice inside their head.
One of my favorite quotes? This one. I love how Kirk sneers when he says this to Khan in ST II:
"Khan...I'm LAUGHING at the 'superior intellect'."
Better yet, the scene on board the transport that's taking Jack to the carrier:
"Some turbulence, eh Commander? You don't like flying, huh, Oh, this is nothing. You should have been with us five, six months ago. WOAH! You talk about PUKE! We ran into a hailstorm over the Sea of Japan. Everybody's retching their guts out. The pilot shot his lunch all over the windshield, and I barfed on the radio! Tossed it all completely! And it wasn't that lightweight stuff, either. It was that chunky industrial-waste puke! Say, you want a bite?" (hands Jack a candy bar)
Although my favorite Red October quotes are of course, Richard Jordan (who plays the National Security Adviser):
(to the Soviet ambassador)
"You have nearly a hundred naval vessels operating in the North Atlantic, RIGHT NOW. Your aircraft have dropped enough sonar buoys so that a man could WALK from Greenland to Iceland to Scotland without getting his feet wet! Now shall we dispense with the bull?"
(different scene, to Jack Ryan):
"I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar. And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. BUT it also means that I keep my options open."
