Shirley Temple's Famous Movie Quote

"Oh My Goodness!" is the most famous of Shirley Temple's movie quotes. She says this a lot, probably in most of her early movies. The one I remember it from is "Curly Top" when the little girl that she's playing, Curly, is told that she may be adopted after having lived in an orphanage.

This cute little actress is like sugar and spice, everything she did was cute. When she says, "Oh My Goodness!" I feel like I'm a little kid again. I get all happy inside and want to reach into the screen and squeeze her.

Most Famous Movie Quote from Star Wars

The force, what is it? It's that inner feeling you get that you can do anything. It's the thing that makes you able to get up in the morning and deal with the world. When Han Solo, played by Harrison Ford in the movie "Star Wars" says, "May the Force be with you" he's telling Luke to go into battle and kick some butt. In this movie quote he's telling Luke to use a magic power that Luke possesses, the force but he's saying to the rest of use that no matter how bad things may seem, if you use the power within you, you can do wonderful, powerful things.

I used to think this movie quote was all about magic and power. As I grew older I came to understand the power a movie quote such as this one can have on a person, mainly me. I learned to use the power within me to overcome some major obstacles in my life. As such, my life has turned out to be pretty good, and it's all because of movie quotes like this one.

The Movie Quote From a Space Alien

E.T. has to be the saddest most compelling alien ever to grace the silver screens. When he said, "E.T. phone home" in the movie "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, I cried. Granted I was about eleven or so at the time and in a very emotional stage in my life, so I cried. Never has a movie quote hit me so hard. I wanted to get up and find a way for that poor little, ugly, alien to find his way home.

Pat Welsh, who played the part of E.T. did a wonderful job making you believe in the little alien from another world who was left stranded here and just wanted to go home. I believed, I still do. If an alien ever landed in my back yard, I'd help him find his way home.

This movie quote has made me more compassionate toward others who are in need or just different. I like helping people when I can and have to sometimes keep myself in check so I don't go overboard. Remember the little lost alien and try to think about what would happen if you were dropped off in a strange place and left behind. You'd want someone to help you too.

Movie Quote from Forrest Gump

"Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." This movie quote was spoken by Tom Hanks in the movie "Forrest Gump". While playing the pare of a mentally handicapped man, Forrest Gump, Hanks used this movie quote to explain to someone what his life had been like. He sat on a bench at a bus stop, while waiting for the bus he told the story of his very unusual life.

This movie quote means to me that life is unpredictable. You never know what will happen next and you can't really control it. I know exactly what he means. My life didn't turn out anything like I expected it too. Every time I turn around something new is happening. I get calls from the school that change my life once a month. I never know where I'll be on a certain day or what the weather will bring.

Life's not predictable or fair. You still have to learn to live with it and find new ways to solve your problems. You may even come up with a fool proof plan, and it still may not go your way. Still you carry on and find a way.

Frightening Movie Quote by a Child

If you ever want to be terrified for a child's well being, watch "Poltergeist". In this movie a little girl, Carol Ann Freeling, played by Heather O'Rourke, is snatch by poltergeists while sleeping in her bed. Before this happens though, there are signs.

One night Carol Ann is sleeping in bed with her parents and the TV goes into fuzz mode. Then she starts hearing voices and they're coming from the TV itself. No one can understand them except Carol Ann. When her parents ask her what she's doing over by the TV she looks at them and says, "They're here!" in a long, drawn out, haunting type of voice.

For years after seeing this movie I couldn't stand to see the fuzz on the TV. Of course, I've grown up and gotten over it, but it haunted me for a few years of my childhood. I still love that movie and it still scares me when I see it.

The Mommie Dearest Movie Quote

Faye Dunaway did a great job playing the part of Joan Crawford in the movie "Mommie Dearest". According to this movie, Joan Crawford was an abusive mother to two small, adopted children. She adopted them for the publicity but couldn't handle the pressures of being a mother and took it out on the kids. Whenever they did even the slightest thing wrong she would beat them.

One day Joan was going through their closets and found wire hangers, where the wire hangers came from, I don't know. If she hated them so much then why were they in her house in the first place? Anyway, she was so infuriated by these wire hangers that in a moment of sheer anger she started screaming, "No wire hangers, ever!" over and over again while beating the kids with the hangers themselves leaving them black and blue.

This movie quote sticks with me even to this day. Whenever I hang up clothes, with my wire hangers, I think about this and wonder, what's wrong with wire hangers anyway? So they're not that pretty and they're not good for hanging pants, since they leave a crease, but other than that, what's really wrong with them?

Romantic Movie Quote from Dirty Dancing

This whole movie does it for me. Patrick Swayze, who plays the very sexy Johnny Castle, is very hot in this movie. "Dirty Dancing" is a movie to turn any girl on. When Johnny says, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" you just want to get up and give him a big, long kiss. How many men would go out of their way and risk everything for a girl they just met?

Throughout the whole movie you see Johnny and Baby meet and fall in love. Then Baby's father finds out about the affair and all hell breaks loose. Baby is now being watched and Johnny's lost his job and is kicked out of the resort. During the farewell dinner Baby's sitting with her family, in a corner of the room and Johnny walks in. This is when he says the movie quote, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" and he and Baby dance the night away. Very romantic.

Movie Quotes From Gollum

Gollum, played by Andy Serkis, is a small, frail looking creature from the movie "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers". When he sees the ring, and evil, powerful item, he calls it, "My precious" because it used to belong to him and he wants it back. Throughout the entire series his goal is to get that ring back so he can feel powerful again.

My precious, in real life, can pertain to a lot of things. For some it may be material possessions but I don't think that's what the writer of the story was trying to get across. I think he's being much more philosophical and the ring comes to represent life in general. What you do with your life is what makes it precious.

When Gollum uses the movie quote "My precious" I think he's actually referring to the life force he received from the ring, not the ring itself. Instead of doing things to change his life and make it better, he's relying on the ring to do it for him. His "precious" is really the feeling he gets from the ring. He's probably be better off going on with his life and trying to make something of himself then hoping for a ring to make him feel better.
