Classic Movie Quotes

My boyfriend and I were talking about which movie to stream to our television via Netflix using our Roku Streaming Player. He likes great quotes from movies, and he began telling me some of his favorites.

Here are some snippets of dialogue and quotes that he likes. As a classic movie fan, there are many more he could cite. These are ones that immediately came to mind — I might add another Hub with more quotes later. All quotes can be found on IMDB.com. Enjoy.

(Please note that a couple of quotes contain mild risqué words or profanity. Please don't flag these quotes, as I have already received approval from HubPages to publish them. The words are used in context from movies, and not as flippant expletives.)
