Memorable Movie Quotes Of 2005

It's just occurred to me that I didn't actually see as many movies as I normally do this year... anyway, here are some quotes from 2005 movies that more or less sum the year up. I'm sure there are more that are just as accurate or even better, but I'm exhausted and am only putting the ones down that come to mind. I also only put one quote per movie even though several of these movies had multiple appropriate quotes.
  • "I can feel your anger... It gives you focus... Makes you more powerful" - Darth Sidious / Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
  • "I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved one is just... poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed so you'd be spared your pain." - Henri Ducard / Batman Begins
  • "You can know all the math in the verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurting before she keens. Makes her home." - Malcolm Reynolds / Serenity
  • "You know what it's like getting up every morning? Feeling hopeless, feeling like the love of your life is waking up with the wrong man. But, at the same time hoping that she still finds happiness, even if it's never going to be with you." - Albert / Hitch
  • "Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here" - Marv / Sin City
  • "Now is the time that we must choose between what is right, and what is easy." - Albus Dumbledore / Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
  • "I've got to be more careful where I park this thing." - Willy Wonka / Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
  • "Have you ever broke something so bad that it can never be fixed?" - Will Stronghold / Sky High
I've had a lot of bad luck with my car this year... broken clutch, rear ended, two tires exploded, car alarm from hell, replaced dead battery. The story of my car troubles came to an end for the year on the morning of Sunday, December 18 sometime between 6:00am and 6:20am when a crazy bitch came crashing into the driver's side of my car (my door to be exact) at 50 miles per hour. No, I wasn't killed or even hurt for that matter, although I probably should have been one or the other (this simply just continues the myth/lore/legend of my immortality.) Anyway, the following movie quote truly brings my year to a close; however, it's not from a 2005 movie.

"Well, they finally did it. They killed my fucking car." - The Dude / The Big Lebowski

Darth Vader/Star Wars:Revenge of the Sith

LOL! I probably would have gone with Samuel L Jackson screaming like a little bitch after his hand gets chopped in Revenge of the Sith, but the Darth Vader one is a great one too! :-P

Everyone got a hand or two chopped off in Revenge of the Sith, it got a bit samey for that after a while

It's not really Star Wars unless there are some hands chopped off! Hehe!

A New Hope (AKA /Episode 4, AKA Star Wars) got by without any hand slicing.

The hand-slicing in Empire Strikes Back was fine, as it was just the one hand, and it was pretty original. The hand slicing in Return of the Jedi worked because it followed on from the one in Empire Strikes Back, by Attack of the Clones we were seeing a theme, and by Revenger of the Sith it had all all gotten a bit silly.

At the risk of spoiling, there's a hand slicing in the new Doctor Who Christmas Special as well! It's like everyone's in on it now...

Yes... I see hand chopping becoming the next big fad! :-P

All the kids are doing it.

Hand chopping is the new coke!

Yeah... I'm gonna sit this one out because when the whole hand chopping thing loses its novelty, I want to be able to have both of mine still intact... although a hook would look pretty sweet! :-P
