Best Movie Lines About....

"This.. is a simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Got it?!" -- Bull Durham

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again.

"Juuuuust a bit outside, tried for the corner and missed." -- Major League

Pick me out a winner Bobby. -Roy Hobbs, The Natural

The pitcher throws and you look for that pill... suddenly there's nothing else in the ballpark but you and it. Sometimes, when you feel right, there's a groove there, and the bat just eases into it and meets that ball. When the bat meets that ball and you feel that ball just give, you know it's going to go a long way. Damn, if you don't feel like you're going to live forever.

-Eight Men Out

Skip : You guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry!

Larry : Lollygaggers!

Skip : Lollygaggers.

'It is. That's why I carry a big gun.'

Rev. Lovejoy: "Wait a minute! This sounds like Rock and/or Roll!"

A few from "Airheads"

Going back to the best baseball line:

"You tryin' to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?" -Major League

I think every line in Almost Famous espouses rock and roll to the fullest degree (that would be 11), but there are some that pop out like saggy boobs at a Journey show.

Jason Lee: That is the FUCKING BUZZ!


Billy Crudup: And you can tell Rolling Stone that my last words were.... I'm on drugs!



(again) Billy Crudup: Woo! Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue, pretty pretty Peggy Sue!



Patrick Fugit: I love you. And I'm about to boldly go where... many men have gone before.



Billy Crudup: Hey, hey. You know that Marvin Gaye song, "What's Happenin', Brother?"

Patrick Fugit: Yeah, yeah!

Billy Crudup: You know that one "woo" he gives, right after the second verse?

Patrick Fugit: I know that woo! ... woooo!

Billy Crudup: Yeah, man, that's it! That's what rock and roll is, man... it's not the stuff you put in, it's the stuff you leave out!



Kate Hudson: How old are you?

Patrick Fugit: I'm eighteen.

Kate Hudson: Me too!

Patrick Fugit: I'm... seventeen.

Kate Hudson: Me too.

Patrick Fugit: I'm really sixteen.

Kate Hudson: ... Me too. Isn't it so much better to have the truth out --

Patrick Fugit: I'm fifteen.



And if I could honestly remember anything but the last line, the Bowie fan's little group of lines ending with "OH MY GOD IT'S BOWIE!"

Donald 'Duck' Dunn : We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.
