Your parents' favorite movie quotes?
 

Did any of you grow up hearing movie quotes from your parents?

Which are the ones you remember (quote + movie title)?

I thought of this when I recalled how my mother used to respond to us whenever we whined or complained about something on which she wouldn't bend. She would say, "I'm sorry for your trouble, Mrs. McPhillip."

This is a line from THE INFORMER (1935), in which Victor McLaglen, who's just secretly informed on her son, Frankie McPhillip, an Irish revolutionary and a friend of his, for the reward, commiserates with the mother after the fact. I wonder if it was my mother's clever way of admitting her own guilt in the situation we were whining/complaining about.

My dad used to always say "What we've got here is failure to communicate." from Cool Hand Luke.

I remember my dad saying, “Lighten up, Francis” a lot when I was younger.

My name isn’t Francis...

I heard a lot of lines from the Dirty Harry movies growing up. My dad loved them.

Maybe it was their youth.

That's gotta be traumatizing when you're a kid, hearing your dad tell you, "Are you feeling lucky, punk?"
