Not only are these scenes from some of my most favorite movies these are what I would consider awesome one-liners.

The Princess Bride:  You can say this on word anywhere and absolutely anyone should be able to recognize it.  It is best to yell it with a lisp.

Red Dawn: pretty much any time this movie is on I am watching it.  I remember when it was released in the theaters…very first PG-13 movie.  I also consider this probably the best “propaganda” movie ever.  In the mid-80’s showing a film with the Soviets along with some Central American countries and Cuba invading the U.S.A.?!  I hear they are re-making it which sucks.  I always thought they should make a sequel where we obliterate the USSR, invade Central America and Cuba and pretty much wipe them all out.

Glory: this is my second greatest scene from any movie.  Col. Shaw gets gunned down while leading the Massachusetts 54th up a sand hill.  Denzel Washington’s character grabs the flag and turns to the 54th and yells “Come-on!”

Rocky II: this probably my most favorite scene of any movie.  Adrian pesters Rocky about not fighting anymore so Pauli goes and harasses her.  She gets upset, goes into labor and then coma after labor.  She has been in her coma while Rocky, not training for his second fight against Apollo, and Mick have been sitting by her side.  Rocky prays, reads to her from books she taught him to read and doesn’t even go to see their newborn boy until she wakes up.  After some time she comes out of the coma, they bring the baby in and Rocky tells Adrian that if she doesn’t want him to fight anymore he won’t.  She asks him to lean in and says…”win.”
