Famous Movie Quotes (as heard at church!)

Today's "Best of" post is from May 12.  Please feel free to add to you own!


I love watching reruns of  Drew Carey's  Whose Line Is It Anyway? on ABC Family (actually Will and I DVR them each night and watch when he gets home from school) and one of their games recently inspired me to ask this question:  What if your favorite movie lines had been delivered at church or youth group instead of in their original scene? How might they be different? I have come up with a few- I hope my readers will come up with many more!  Here we go!

• "I'll be back...as long as the church next door doesn't get a Starbucks."  Terminator
• "I'm going to give them an offering they can't refuse..."   The Godfather
• "Oh no, it wasn't the airplanes.  "Twas the youth group that killed the beast."   King Kong
• "You shouldn't make me play Fluffy Bunny, Johnny.  My mother made me play Fluffy Bunny once...ONCE."   Johnny Dangerously
• "Have fun storming the sanctuary!"   The Princess Bride
• "What we have here is a failure to communicate... (OOPS- didn't change that one!)    Cool Hand Luke
• "There are two types of people in the world- those who like Rob Bell, and those who don't..."    What About Bob?
• "Frankly my dear, I don't give a dad blast the gosh darn blankety heck..." Gone With the Wind
• "When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a church on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Bro, the strongest church in all of Nashvegas."  Monty Python & the Holy Grail
• "Cinderella story, from outta' nowhere, about to become Trustees Chairman..."   Caddyshack 
• "They've done studies, you know.  Be purpose driven.  60% of the time it works, every time."    Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
• "Jesus is King of the World!"   Titanic

Let's face it, friends- sometimes the institution of the church is funny.  It OK to laugh.  I've said it before and I'll say it again-  I cannot survive a day without Jesus or laughter.  And they ARE NOT mutually exclusive.  Now let's hear your movie favorites, mangled for a little church humor!  I'll Tweet the best ones.  Have a great day!

Because of Jesus,
