I love the interchange in that movie between the criminals and the subway worker (who unfortunately finds out chutzpah is no match for a carbine). The movie is sort of a social commentary on 1970s NYC and how it was a pit.

You just made an enemy out of me for saying that.
The whole jail scene in My Cousin Vinny where Vinny first meets Stan. Stan thinks Vinny is another inmate interested in sodomy, while Vinny thinks Stan is afraid of the consultation and the upcoming trial. Best line out of it, Vinny: "Let us take the time to get acquainted before (you know) we get to it.
Then the scene where Vinny arrives late in court wearing that ridiculous burgundy tuxedo pissing the judge (one more time again)off. Vinny to judge in one line "I wore this ridiculous outfit just fer you."
Oh and Vinny's opening statement at trial " Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. Everything that other guy said is bullshit, thank you!"

Not really a line, but that part where Little Enos is mad and he whinnys, I really wanted to do that recently when I was stuck in line at a grocery store behind someone who wanted to argue over a price difference of $1 on something they wanted to buy.
Also, "What we gonna do, kidnap the Pope or somethin'?" "How'd you guess? No."
Also not an actual line: Bandit smiling at the camera after he escapes from the cops in Texarkana.

prior to the Bandit (& Snowman) reaching Texarkana. Jerry Reed's
Westbound and Down song is played during this scene.

Memorable stuff from Blazing Saddles:
TAGGART (upon encountering LePetomane Thruway tollbooth out in the middle of nowhere): "Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes!"
And -- the most memorable line not to have made it into the film's final cut: it's stuck after the late great Madeline Kahn's "Lili von Schtupp's" line as she's completing the seduction of Sheriff Bart: "It's twue -- it's twue!". The scene fades to black and you hear "mmmm" noises before Bart delivers the punch line:
"I'm sorry to disillusion you, ma'am, but you're sucking on my arm!" :-D
Instead, the film cut directly to the breakfast scene afterwards where Von Schtupp is serving huge sausages to Bart.
Mel Brooks' account of how he came to cut the line can be found at:
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/mel-brooks-cut-just-one-joke-blazing-saddles-being-racy-1017404
My favorite Blazing Saddles quote is undoubtedly Bart's line when he walks into town:
"Excuse me while I whip this out"
It's memorable enough that it's often heard as a notification sound on mobile phones.

Called breaking the fourth wall. Many shows do it, especially Sally Field (co star of the film) in Gidget talking to her audience. Roger Moore did it in the Saint to let us know about the upcoming episode.
I do not remember the name of the film, but Peter Falk starred in it. He was the coach of female mud wrestlers and in it one of the lady wrestlers lost money in the cigarette machine (yes you could buy cigarettes from a vending machine before our government passed that rule minors cannot buy tobacco). So Peter Falk came by with a baseball bat, and informed the lady that there is only one way to talk to these machines before he struck the machine hard with the bat which then caused all the contents fall out on to the sidewalk.
"Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?"
"It's part of a trilogy, a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find."
"I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf."

Not really a line, but that part where Little Enos is mad and he whinnys, I really wanted to do that recently when I was stuck in line at a grocery store behind someone who wanted to argue over a price difference of $1 on something they wanted to buy.
Also, "What we gonna do, kidnap the Pope or somethin'?" "How'd you guess? No."
Also not an actual line: Bandit smiling at the camera after he escapes from the cops in Texarkana.
Called breaking the fourth wall. Many shows do it, especially Sally Field (co star of the film) in Gidget talking to her audience. Roger Moore did it in the Saint to let us know about the upcoming episode.

In light of the controversy regarding the naming of the new Tappan Zee/Governor Mario Cuomo bridge, I am reminded of this line: "The LePetomane Thruway?!? Now what will that asshole think of next?"
From the movie Airplane
Elaine to Ted Stryker in the Hospital conveying his orders from Army Command.
Elaine: I have something for you from Headquarters.
Ted: Headquarters, what is it?
Elaine: That's a building where generals meet, but that is not important.
Randy the Stewardess to Ted Stryker
Randy: There is a problem up in the cockpit!
Ted: The Cockpit! What is it?
Randy: That is a place at the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that's not important now.
Dr. Rumack to Ted Stryker
Dr. Rumack: If I can't get these people to a hospital at once, I cant' be sure to save their lives.
Ted: A hospital, what is it?
Dr. Rumack; Its a building where they treat patients, but that's not important.
Three scenes portraying the same misunderstanding by three completely different people thinking that Ted wanted to know what three places were instead of concluding that he was referring to the nature of the instance taking place in them, but well written out.

DR. NO: "The criminal mind is always superior -- it has to be!" (Dr. No)
DONAL GRANT (to BOND): "You may know your wines, but you're the one on your knees!" (From Russia with Love)
And a couple of funny/ironic line sequences:
DOMINIQUE (after shooting villain Largo with a spear gun as he was about to shoot Bond): "I'm glad I killed him!" BOND (in reply): "You're glad?" (Thunderball)
IRMA BUNT: "Is something the matter, Sir Hilary?" BOND (under cover as genealogist Sir Hilary Bray): "Just a slight stiffness coming on!" (after Ruby, one of the female patients in Blofeld's "allergy clinic" writes her room number in lipstick on Bond's thigh underneath his kilt).

Yeah -- but the fallacy of that line was that the ATAC was a standard yet top secret U.K. Ministry of Defense device; presumably they had more in inventory -- so the Russians didn't have it, but the British still had plenty more where that came from! Always thought that line was a bit goofy!

It's from
Never Say Never Again, the "unauthorized" (non-Broccoli/Danjaq) remake of
Thunderball that was part of the Fleming estate's settlement with author Kevin McClory. The name of the character was Fatima Blush, played in the film by Barbara Carrera. Interesting background to the remake situation: apparently Fleming, McClory, and screenwriter Jack Whittingham cobbled up a screenplay for an introductory Bond film back around 1959 called
Longitude 78 West -- essentially the Thunderball plot; the title coordinate was where the hijacked plane was hidden. When that project stalled, Fleming went off on his own and wrote the novel
Thunderball based on their screenplay, with a few different details. McClory sued, with Whittingham testifying in his behalf; he won the suit. Subsequently Fleming was required to give McClory & Whittingham credit for the original story in any further editions of his book, plus McClory retained the film rights to both the original screenplay and
Thunderball. In 1964, the Bond film producers, Saltzman & Broccoli, purchased the rights to
Thunderball from McClory, with two codicils: McClory would get a producer credit on their film, plus he still retained the right to the original screenplay, which he could remake at any time.
Never Say Never Again was that 1983 remake; McClory lured Connery back to the role with an enormous guaranteed paycheck, a producer credit, and a percentage of the profits. Unfortunately, the film barely made back its production costs; Albert Broccoli cannily pushed the release of that year's canonical Bond film,
Octopussy, up six weeks from its original scheduled release; it hit the theaters in late May of that year; while the McClory film wasn't booked until mid-July. Apparently even Connery's return didn't help matters much. After McClory's death, Barbara Broccoli (who runs the whole thing these days) re-purchased the rights to any of the McClory estate's film assets -- so one entity now controls the Bond saga.

There was a second Thunderball remake in the works called Warhead AD:2000 (working title, I hope,) which never saw the light of day, obviously.

There was a second Thunderball remake in the works called Warhead AD:2000 (working title, I hope,) which never saw the light of day, obviously.
About 1997, McClory thought a "high-tech" Thunderball update might be a viable film; but by that time Pierce Brosnan had established himself as the reigning Bond actor, and no studio wanted to finance another independent Bond film -- even though the plans were to lure Connery back -- with the difference being his original Bond character would have been the new "M", with a new actor TBD in the lead action role taking over the "007" designation. Since a "real" Bond film was scheduled for release in December '97, the plans for "Warhead 2000" were postponed and eventually shelved -- and eventually became moot once the Broccoli clan acquired McClory's assets. Two versions of
Thunderball were more than enough -- although the best thing about
Never Say Never Again was Klaus Maria Brandauer's villain Largo -- arguably the most complex and possibly certifiable (but semi-likeable) baddie in the whole series, official or not.

We already have two Goldfingers. (Goldfinger and A View to a Kill are basically the same movie. The scenes where the bad guy reveals his plans are almost exactly the same, right down to the scale model.)
Radiating the gold at Fort Knox and causing a megaearthquake are quite different plans.
Also, Goldfinger was twice the movie A View to a Kill ever was.

Don't know where they went wrong but most people's opinion was that nothing that came after Connery ever reached its potential. Some of the Moore films were a little goofy, Dalton had promise but quit after two films (though many would argue he lacked the charm and suave in favor of being too gritty and douchey), and Brosnan's films declined sharply after the first one or two.
^^^^^^^
Dalton -- and the continuity of the series -- was a victim of United Artists' financial mess circa 1990 that found them "merging" (like Austria was "merged" into Hitler's Germany!) with MGM, itself not terribly flush. The Bond film slated to be his 3rd, with a tentative release either in late '91 or mid-'92, had a finished screenplay and was set in Hong Kong and Singapore -- but it kept getting delayed while UA sought funding. Finally, in early '94, Dalton decided that the series' future was too uncertain for his liking, so he quit. A year later Brosnan came on board -- nine years after Broccoli had first approached him to take over from Moore -- but his contractual obligations to the Remington Steele TV series prevented him from taking the role. Once MGM agreed to financial terms, Broccoli & Co. jettisoned the old writers and directors and hired Michael France (fresh off Cliffhanger) to write a new storyline and New Zealand-based director Martin Campbell to direct -- and GoldenEye, arguably one of the better later efforts of the series, was released in late 1995 (They were really fishing for film titles then; Goldeneye was the name of Ian Fleming's vacation home in Jamaica).

"By the power, vested in me, as Sheriff of this parish, I do hereby commandeer this vehicle, and all occupants therein. That means you, Smart Ass!"
... after JimBo has caused him and he learns that JimBo is a secret agent ...
"Secret Agent?! On whose side?!?!?"
... Then there is the great exchange in "Airplane":
"This is Over, over. We have clearance, Clarence"
"What's our vector, Victor?" ...
... and my favorite exchange from "Blame It on Rio" ...
"Look, Jennifer, Nothing happened!"
"I know! I was there when it didn't!"

But that's quintessential Bond.
Sir Sean said:
The only real difficulty I found in playing Bond was that I had to start from scratch. Nobody knew anything about him, after all. Not even Fleming. Does he have parents? Where does he come from? Nobody knows. But we played it for laughs, and people seem to feel it comes off quite well.And Sir Roger:
I played it slightly tongue-in-cheek because I never quite believed that James Bond was a spy because everybody knew him, they all knew what he drank. He'd walk into a bar and it would always be, "Ah, Commander Bond, martini, shaken not stirred." Spies are faceless people.The problem Moore had is that, by then, the films had become a genre of their own - doubling down and playing Bond as 'a parody' (as Connery said of Moore's work) made commercial sense. Though if you forgot to work on stuff other than the stereotypical Bond selling points of girls, gadgets and goofy one-liners then you end up with
Die Another Day.

If it weren't for the title track and Christopher Walken's delightful scenery-chewing, A View To A Kill would probably be the worst Roger Moore Bond film (that title currently belongs to Moonraker).

You can show more than expected from the rating (and the type of film) though.
Over here the film, like all the later Bond entries, got a PG-13 rating, which suggests that viewers under 13 be accompanied by an adult. With net access being essentially in place in late 2002, when
Die Another Day was released, the chances are that anyone over 13 had likely had the opportunity to see clips and/or stills of
Scarecrow or
Monsters' Ball, both of which were in general release well prior to the Bond film and which displayed Ms. Berry's anatomy -- and on-film sexual activities -- to an extent not even approached within the Bond offering. Almost every Bond film (save the Moore/Dalton entries from the '80's, when the AIDS/HIV situation was at its most dire) had its featured actresses attired in swimwear or lingerie with only a few scattered objections, usually from the more reactionary religious sector; hardly a cesspool of semi-pornographic prurience!
