BURN!! Best Movie Insults

[Schweedie]

When the fairy godmothers are attempting to sew a dress for Aurora in Sleeping Beauty:

"It looks awful."

"That's because it's on you, dear."

Dangerous Liaisons: a single word..."war."  Gives me chills.

And the Marquise  sure proved Representative Jeannette Rankin correct by its outcome-"You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake!"

Car Wash

"Honey, I'm more man than you'll ever be and more woman than you'll ever get."

The Dark Knight:

Batman: [after tying up the Scarecrow, the mobsters, and the fake "batmen"] Don't let me find you out here again.
Fake Batman: We're trying to help you.
Batman: I don't need help!
The Scarecrow: [sarcastically] Not my diagnosis.
Fake Batman: What gives you the right? What's the difference between you and me?!
Batman: I'm not wearing hockey pads!

[The Solution]

From the movie Made (2001) with Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau and Sean Combs, when Sean Combs tells them "y'all could turn a Easter Egg hunt into a butt-fuck-a-thon".

Glass Onion:

”Nobody tried to kill you, you vainglorious buffoon!”

[DoctorAtomic]

That whole scene was good because Benoit was so ticked about the scheme being so stupid and beneath him.

A fav of mine.

Titanic 1997:

Rose to Cal- "I would rather be his whore than your wife."

Seconding this one.

 

Also, the entire "proposal" scene between Belle and Gaston in Beauty and the Beast is basically Belle low-key insulting him.

Gaston: We'll have six or seven.

Belle: Dogs?

Gaston: No, Belle! Strapping boys, like me!

Belle: Imagine that.

[Spartan Girl]

From Wakanda Forever:

”You bald-headed demon…”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Wiendish Fitch]

A surprisingly good one from New Moon... no, not the Twilight movie, the 1940 musical with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy.

Charles Duc de Villiers: Anger makes you very charming, mademoiselle.

Marianne de Beaumanoir: Patronizing makes you very boring, monsieur.

[Spartan Girl]

Amadeus:

”Herr Zomer?! But the man’s a complete mediocrity.”

”No, no…he has yet to achieve mediocrity.” 

And later:

”Tell him (the Emperor) that (Zomer) could do musical harm to the Princess Elisabeth.”

”Between you and me, no one in the world could do musical harm to the Princess Elizabeth.”

No Hard Feelings: “I don’t recall ordering a phony bitch for dessert.”

[Cobalt Stargazer]

Evil Under The Sun, and it's even better in Maggie Smith's posh accent.

"Arlena and I were in the chorus of a show together. Not that I could ever compete. Even in those days, she could always throw her legs higher than anyone...and wider."

[Spartan Girl]

How is it nobody—myself included—has mentioned the all-time movie burn king John Gielgud aka Hobson from Arthur?! To make up for that, here are his best ones:

“You obviously have a wonderful economy with words, Gloria. I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness.”

“Of course you hate (this place). People work here.”

”Here, read this magazine. There are many pictures.”

”Thank you for a memorable afternoon, usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature.”

”If you and your undershirt will walk two paces backwards, I could enter this dwelling.”

”Now, would you go to the bathroom and bring me two aspirin? You'll find them on the top shelf to the left, behind the untouched shaving cream.”

And finally:

”You spoiled little bastard! You're a man who has everything, haven't you, but that's not enough. You feel unloved, Arthur, welcome to the world. Everyone is unloved. Now stop feeling sorry for yourself. And incidentally, I love you.”

Don't forget "I'll alert the media."

From Uncle Buck (full of great insults), but one I often quote is Tia to her mother in the beginning after she has brought home Chinese food

”What a lovely dinner, Mother, how do you find the time” 

A voice absolutely dripping in sarcasm…just perfect 

[Spartan Girl]

(Reposting because it got deleted)

From the late Glynis Johns in Mary Poppins, a burn in song form: “Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group, they’re rather stupid.”

I do love it when Tia gets her own back from Miles when she says “I’ve got better things to do than babysit you, you little stain.”

”Like what? Hang out with friends you don’t have?”

So savage from little Macauley Culkin!

I couldn't stand Tia, so I REALLY loved the line from Buck to Tia about getting the stick out her [ass] ( I believe he said kiester) and they'd get along fine.

And the evil laugh he gives to her "boyfriend" . But the BEST line was him ripping the school counselor when the old hag was denigrating Maisey. And then threw a dime? Quarter? at her to get rid of the fugly wart on her face as he strolled out.

Because it deserves to be quoted verbaitum:

"I don't think I want to know a six-year-old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don't have a college degree. I don't even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Because they're ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I'm coming looking for you! Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you, madam."

And he walks out and smokes his cigar in the hallway like a godamn boss.

*sigh* Oh John Candy, how I miss you.

For Martin Mull, a sick burn from Wadsworth to Colonel Mustard in Clue:

”Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?!”

“You don’t need any help from me, sir.”

”That’s right!”

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[krankydoodle]

From 2010's True Grit: Mattie burns La Boeuf so many times in this scene, it's hard to pick a favorite. Just wonderfully scripted and acted.

 

[Crashcourse]

I love how La Boeuf says "your eye" to Rooster. 

 

[Spartan Girl]

Deadpool and Wolverine had some good burns, but I have to give the top prize to Logan proving that he can rip Wade a new one figuratively as well as literally:

“You know what? You're a fuckin' joke. No wonder the Avengers didn't take you - or the X-Men, and they'll take fucking anyone. I mean, you are a ridiculous, immature, half-wit moron. I have never met a sadder, more attention-starved jabbering little prick in my entire life, and that says a lot because I've been alive for more than 200 fuckin' years! And I'll tell ya, that bald chick was right about one thing: you will never save the world. You couldn't even save a relationship with a goddamn stripper! Motherfucker, I wish I could say you'll die alone, but it's one of God's best jokes that you can't die! Except that's on all of US!”
