Slightly inspired by hearing about the sad demise of Dom DeLuise in the Random section, I thought I'd start a thread honouring good film quotes for gaming moments.
The one in my mind comes from the end fight scene from Blazing Saddles, specifically when the punch up spills over into the rest of the Studio. And it's a very specific one, to be used when a no hope combat surprises precisely no one with it's highly predictable outcome!
One of the Dancers is beating his tiny, effeminate fists on the chest of an exceptionally beefy Cowboy, replete with pathetic knocking noises and the declaration of 'You Brute! You Brute! You Brute! You vicious Brute!' followed by bursting into tears.
Sort of thing is a single Guardsmen taking on a Carnifex, a Grot showing a Terminator Captain what has (hasn't) got, and other random highly optimistic bouts of table top fisticuffs!
Specifically, at 2:11.
So, do you have any suitable quotes, whether particularly appropriate or not?

We always have arnie quotes. Hundreds of them in fact. Favourites include;
"Get to the chopper!" while heading towards deth coptas
"There's something out there, and it ain't no man" when playing ANY alien race
"Screw you Benny!!!" when using steam drill
"12 gauge otto loader" when using any shotguns
But the best was a completely random incident back in 3rd with my chaos army - my lone asp champ got charged by some terminators (dying of course) and my opponent loudly shouted "who is your daddy and what does he do?" which is at which point I pointed out he was the host of my bloodthirster and replaced the casualty with a blood thirster and declared (in best bloodthirster accent) "me and I kill terminators"

Well I know its not a movie quote, but one time I was playing a treadhead and he deployed a fully mechanized IG army. I proceeded to give the METAL BOXES speech.
Admiral Chester W Nimitz wrote:The war with Japan had been re-enacted in the game rooms here by so many people and in so many different ways, that nothing that happened during the war was a surprise.
Like any good player, I shall be quoting METAL BOXES every time I see my opponent place a Rhino on the table.
I also enjoy giving the SPESS MEHRENS speech when my opponent is playing as SM.
SPESS MEHREENS, TODEH THE ENEMEH IS AT OUR DOAR! WE KNOW OUR DUTEH AND WE WILL DO EHT. WE FIGHT FOR OUR HORNOUR AS BLUHD REHVENS, AS SPESS MEHREENS, AND WE FIGHT IN THE NEHME OF THE EMPRA!
AND IF WE DIE THIS DEH WE DIE IN GLOARY. WE DIE HEAROES' DEFFS-BUT WE SHALL NORT DIE-NO IT IS THE ENEMEH WHO WILL TEHSTE DEFF AND DEFEAT! AS YOU KNOW...
MOAST OF OUR BATTLE BROTHERS ARE STEHTIONED IN SPESS, PRUHPEARED TO DEEP STRIKE! OUR PERIMETER HAS BEEN PRUHPEARED IN THE EVENT THEHT OUR ENEMEHS SHOULD BE SO BALD AND SO FOOLISH. WE HAVE PLEHCED NUMEROUS BEACONS, ALLOWING FOAR MULTIPLE, SIMULTEHNEOUS, AND DEVEHSTEHTING DEFENSIVE DEEP STRIKES.
THE CODECKS ASTARTEES NEHMES THIS MANEUVAH STEEL REHN. WE WILL DESCEND UPON THE FOE, WE WILL OVAHWHELM THEM - WE WILL LEAVE NONE ALIVE! MEANWHILE OUR GROUND FOARCES WILL ENSURE THE FULL DEFENSE OF OUR HEADKWARTERS.
WE ARE THE SPESS MEHREENS! WE ARE THE EMPRA'S FUREH!
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I frequently say to my Guardsmen or Space Marines mid-game "come on guys your the heroes of this story kick everyones asses" to which they all promptly proceed to die in a most unfitting fashion (usually a vindicator or russ blast).
When you give total control to a computer, it’s only a matter of time before it pulls a Skynet on you and you’re running for your life.
I suppose I should provide you all with the METAL BOXES speech, so you get it.

'Lo, there do I see my father. 'Lo, there do I see...
My mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.
'Lo, there do I see...
The line of my people...
Back to the beginning.
'Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them.
Iin the halls of Valhalla...
Where the brave...
May live...
...forever.
From Tombstone:
I'm your Hucleberry!
Tell them I'm coming...and Hells coming with me!
From Commando:
Remember when I told you that I would kill you last....I lied!

On those occasions when my opponent brings the one list that reliably pounds mine into putty I'll usuallly bust out the "We should have shotguns for this kind of ****" at some point.
I tend to use a the line "I'm strangely comortable with that" from Boondock Saints a lot. Usually when someone muffs a roll (or even better a whole fistfull of rolls).

He knows that I know and you know that he actually doesn't know the rules at all.
Story time...Back in the day, I was playing multi-player Space Hulk, Vengence of the Blood Angels...We had two copies of the game, so 4 players.
Anyways, I was the sergeant in one of the missions, leading the squad. A Stealer nails me, and one of my friends who is playing yells out 'Sarge is dead man! Game Over!' (Or whatever the appropriate quote from Aliens is. This was years ago )
Sometime in the future when I get a Valkyrie and I place it on the table I'm going to say, "GET TO THE CHOPPA!"
Just thought about it. Before a game of Fantasy I'm going to pick a unit champion and nickname him Sulley and proclaim, "I like you Sully, that's why I'm going to kill you last." And then right after I do everything I can to kill him (hopefully in a challenge), I shall do my best impersonation of Sully, "You said you would kill me last".
Then when he/she takes the model off of the table, "I lied, NOOOOO". Sorry it's a little hamfisted now that I have written it out.
