This ain't exactly a one-liner, but halfway through MAGNOLIA a guy and his girlfriend (who apparently had had enough of that overrated turdburger) got up to leave. As they left and were walking down the center aisle, the girl turned around and rather angrily gave the screen "the finger".
The entire theater erupted with laughter, and it took about a minute or two for order to be restored. After which, about half the theater got up to leave as well.
I wish I had.

in Pulp Fiction, when travolta is looking in the briefcase (a briefcase, mind you), a woman behind me whispered, "it's a head!"

Towards the end of Narnia when you see the older versions of the kids someone yells (about the oldest brother) "Hey its the Burger King guy". that was pretty funny.

At the end of seeing The Matrix in the theater in Baltimore that got condemned and shut down a few years ago, Neo floats into Agent Smith's body and makes him explode. One zany guy yelled out "FATALI-TAY!" (a la Mortal Kombat). The place went nuts.

And while you're at: stop buying nachos at movie theaters, too.

The Thin Red Line...
This movie had the misfortune of being released right after Saving Private Ryan... so the audience wasn't really in to the philosophical part... and you can feel the audience grumbling about it... SO...
When the main character recieved a "Dear John.. " letter in which his wife leaves him for another guy... some guy up front yelled out "THAT F#$%ing BITCH!"... much laughter... I got to admit I laughed out loud too...

In all seriousness - shouting out during movies? We live in a civillized society. Time to relax, respect others, watch the movie and have a sense of humor. It saddens me that so many people here think it's fine to blurt out whatever they think is funny while a movie's on.

The funniest one liner from the audience I heard was in Meet the Fockers.
There was a guy with two kids there (about 4 and 6) both boys. On one of the scenes (you can guess which one), one of them started saying (loudly):
"Daddy, what's foreskin, what's foreskin?"
He kept trying to silence him, but he wouldn't stop. Eventually they had to leave. He probably shouldn't have brought them to see that movie...

It must be something about that movie because when I saw it there was some dumb shit who was laughing at absolutely everything, too...

What about the people who were enjoying themselves? Why ruin it for them just because you don't approve of the movie?

I can't stand when people talk during movies either but i have a few exceptions. It's ok to call something out if it's really funny and your the only one to call something out up to that point in the movie. There is a strict limit of one call out for each movie, after that it is just annoying..

During a screening of The 400 blows at the film forum here in New York someone said out loud during the last half hour of the movie "They better get crackin' on the blowing" It caused laughs and hisses and outright people yelling at him to shut up.
Why don't movie theaters inform the patrons to be quiet anymore...Cell phones aren't the only noisy things in a random auditorium.

aparently, that guy who laughed at everything in King King was there when I saw it too. what a jerk.
the only time it is at least slightly appropriate to yell anything, in my opnion, is during trailers. me and a large group of friends went and saw Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers the night it came out. It was a lot of fun and TONS of people had gotten decked out in costume and make up for the midnight show.
One of the trailers was (for wahtever reason) the Ashton Kutcher classic "A Lot Like Love." After the trailer, my friend Brian yelled "You got punk'd!" which somehow garnered a few laughs. Some other trailers showed and he yelled some smart-ass comment at each, getting more and more laughs from the audience.
Then, the LOTR music started playing and the title showed on the screen and it got real quiet. Brian then screamed, louder than his previous jabs, "I like to live my life vicariously through movies!" I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard, considering I was sitting next to a junior sized Gandalf and behind a row of orcs, but the rest of the theatre told him to shut the hell up. It was the angriest I've ever seen a large group of people at any given moment.

Most of these examples seem like "you had to be there" moments.
IMHO audience members yelling out, trying to bring teh funny during movies, is pretty dang annoying.

yeah. add me to the list that finds it to be nothing but annoying. Save it for films that do call for audience interaction like RHPS.

In War of the Worlds, an audience member coughed out "Bullshit!" when
And during A History of Violence, this woman kept expressing her feelings towards EVERY scene of the movie, no matter what. I told her to shut up, and she called me a creep. Arrgh...

Opening night for The Jerk I was in a packed movie house. Someone who had obviously seen the movie at least once was there too. In the first scene the camera moves in to show Steve Martin looking like a homeless guy sitting in the alley surrounded by garbage....Steve looks at the camera and says "What?" and the guy in the audience yells "YOU'RE A BUM!" and then Steve says "I am not a bum". Got a huge laugh from the audience.
