The Greatest Movie Quotes Have Six Words

I’m not sure what tear in the space-time con­tin­uum enabled me to notice, but the great­est movie quotes have only six words.  Don’t ask me why!  What I do know is that it was fun to go through all my DVDs to dig up these awe­some screen­shots for you.

“May the force be with you.”

What can be said about this quote that hasn’t been said already? Every time Han Solo utters these epic words to Luke Sky­walker before going on his mis­sion to destroy the Death Star, every Star Wars fan­boy gets a lit­tle wood.  Admit it.

“No time for love, Dr. Jones!”

Mon­key brains, a dude that rips people’s hearts out of their bare chests, kamikaze rope bridge maneu­vers, Har­ri­son Ford when he was still hot—this movie had it all.  And it also had the great­est side­kick ever, Short Round, played by Jonathan Ke Quan, before he went on to yet another stereo­typ­i­cal Asian role involv­ing booby­traps: Data from The Goonies.

Speak­ing of which…

“Man…you smell like Phys Ed!”

Baby Ruths bring even the unlike­li­est of friends together.  Who knew annoy­ing fat kids and smelly deformed mutants could be BFFs?

“Eng­lish, moth­er­fucker, do you speak it?!”

Samuel L. Jack­son doesn’t like it when you say “what,” espe­cially mul­ti­ple times.  But he loves dar­ing you to say it again.

“I have to return some videotapes.”

That’s Patrick Bateman-speak for mur­der­ing yup­pies and hook­ers with an axe.

“I don’t appre­ci­ate your ruse, Ma’am.”

Ruse (rooz) [Mid­dle Eng­lish]: A cun­ning attempt to trick Ran­dall Graves, RST Video’s under­achiev­ing Employee of the Year.  There’s noth­ing more exhil­a­rat­ing than point­ing out the short­com­ings of oth­ers, is there?

“You remind me of the babe!”

“What babe?” you ask.  Why, the babe with the power, of course.  The power of voodoo—well you know the rest.

And last but not least…

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”

The most pro­found six words ever com­mit­ted to film.

Bonus 5-word hon­or­able men­tion:

“Never rub another man’s rhubarb.”
