Aaahhh, I see, thx. Something like "Hic Rhodos, hic salta!"

"This is more than a city, it is a symbol. This is not Minsk or Kiev. This is Stalingrad. Staliiiiingrad! This city bears the name of the boss!" - Nikita Sergeivich Khruschev, Enemy at the Gates

"Here the men's only choice is between German bullets and ours. There's another way. The way of courage. The way of love of the Motherland. We must publish the Army newspaper again. We must tell magnificent stories. Stories that exalt sacrifice, bravery. We must make them believe in the victory. We must give them hope, pride, a desire to fight. Yes, we need to make examples. But examples to follow. What we need are heroes." - Political Officer Danilov, Enemy at the Gates

"Man will always be man. There is no new man. We worked so hard to create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbor. But there's always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love." - Danilov, Enemy at the Gates

"Tomorrow we're going to kill us some generals." - 'Papa' Koulikov, Enemy at the Gates

"He shot him on the run. It was an impossible shot. ... You've promised people a victory I can't deliver. I don't stand a chance against this man." - Vassilli Zaitsev, Enemy at the Gates

"It's sad to have a dream that won't come true." - Vassilli Zaitsev, Enemy at the Gates

Welcome to the Forums Kato! That's a great quote from a great film.

Another good one from The Beast ...

Daskal: Because I said so.
Golikov: We're going home, sir.
Daskal: Yeah. In the tank.
Kaminski: Why can't we go home in the f*****g helicopter?
Daskal: Because you're tankers.

"I run my unit how I run my unit. You want to investigate me, roll the dice and take your chances. I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4000 Cubans who are trained to kill me, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, flash a badge, and make me nervous." - Colonel Jessep, A Few Good Men

What's he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
-William Shakesphere, Battle of Agincourt speech
This may not be WW2, but it's the best speech EVER!

 

Bump!

 

Stalag 17
Nasty weather we're having, eh? And I so much hoped that we could give you a white Christmas -- just like the ones you used to know... Aren't those the words that clever little man wrote -- you know the one who stole his name from our capital -- that something-or-other Berlin? -Oberst Von Scherbach

Shapiro: Hey Schultz, sprechen Sie Deutsche?
Schultz: Ja?
Shapiro: Then droppen Sie dead!

The Dirty Dozen
Pinkley: Very pretty, General. Very pretty. But, can they fight?

Pinkley: Where are you from, son?
Soldier: Madison City, Missouri, sir!
Pinkley: Never heard of it.

The Great Escape
Von Luger: Are all American officers so ill-mannered?
Hilts: Yeah, about 99 percent.
Von Luger: Then perhaps while you are with us you will have a chance to learn some. Ten days isolation, Hilts.
Hilts: CAPTIAN Hilts.
Von Luger: Twenty days.
Hilts: Right. Oh, uh, you'll still be here when I get out?
Von Luger: Cooler.

I haven't seen Berlin yet, from the ground or from the air, and I plan on doing both before the war is over. -Capt. Hilts

 

You have to be rich to think that that in the first place!
From "King" in Platoon

 

Well, action movie with lotsa violence anyway...

I liked Denzel Washington´s line in "Man on Fire"

Old man: In the church they say you should forgive...
Denzel : Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting. {...loads bazooka}...

 

I like this one..from
Crimson Tide

(Denzel Washington) "The purpose of war is to serve a political end, but the true nature of war is to serve itself"

 

"I want to win the Iron Cross"
Maximilian Schell as Stransky in Cross of Iron and not forgetting that other one he made
"How do I reload?"
