This was so difficult! I can’t find anywhere that lists great one word film quotes… weird!

Thanks go to John Xela for Groovy and Redrum.

Suggest “Shiiiittttt!!!!!!!” from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when Butch and Sundance jump over the cliff down in to the river to escape the posse

Ha! A classic…

Whilst “plastics” is a one word line in The Graduate it does have a fair old build up:

Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Just how do you mean that, sir?

Perhaps a better choice from that film is: “Wood.” It’s a one word line coming out of nowhere (with the added bonus of being followed by another one word line):

[Offering Mrs. Robinson a coat hanger]
Benjamin: Wood?
Mrs. Robinson: What?
Benjamin: Wood or wire? They have both.

Oh dear, the Comment fields here are too short, I’ll have to do this one in bits as my Graduate comment has been cut off in it’s prime…

GRADUATE part 2:

Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Just how do you mean that, sir?

Perhaps a better one-word line from The Graduate would be “Wood.” It has the merit of coming out of nowhere, with the added bonus of being followed by another one word line.

Oh dear, and the comment field doesn’t like square brackets, so we’ll need take 2…

@aarkangel – thanks! I think we need to sort out the comment field length as our next fix… and square brackets are so we can use bbcode. Doesn’t really help just now though…
