I was watching "African Queen" with Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn and before the Germans were gonna hang them Bogart wanted to get married, the German Captain said OK and says "By the power vested in me by Heinrick Wilhelm (or something like that) I now pronounce you man & wife, now get on with the execution."
I forgot that line and laughed like hell. Got any good ones?

I liked the movie "Airplane" - tons of corny one liners.

This is not verbatim but from memory its from one of the greatest comedy films of all time This is Spinal Tap.
“Look at this amp here, all these other amps they only go up to 10 but this one goes up to 11! See? 10, 10, 10 but this one goes up to 11!”
“So that's like 1 louder is it?”
“Yeah that's right its one louder, when you want to push it just that little bit extra you push it up to 11!”
“Why not just make 10 louder and make that the loudest?”
(Ridiculously long pause)
“.........but this one goes up to 11”
Lol.

Lol. There is a multitude of hilarity in that movie.

Its true as well, a lot of British rock and metal bands of that period were so far up their own arses that they had no common sense whatsoever.

Spinal Tap still makes me laugh.
Best in Show and A Fish Called Wanda are still funny time after time, to me, too. Lots of great lines, but they aren't necessarily funny one line at a time - best in context.

It's hard for me to watch movies. Sitting still for that length of time is a fricken challenge.

Why not? You are a grown woman not a hyperactive two year old! How do you sit and read a book if you can't sit and watch a film for 2 hours?

Because I find sitting on my ass for hours at a time in front of a screen to be as dull as watching paint dry. I'd rather ride or hike or do a myriad of other things than sit around watching tv/movies in my free time.

Yeah active things are good some times but not all the time. You never just sit and watch a film or read a book or look at a work of art?

yes, but if that screen is a computer screen and you are hanging out in Mock, with a little alcohol involved, it's golden.
