Memorable Quotes:
8. Verbal Kint/Keyser Soze
Acted by: Kevin Spacey
Movie: Usual Suspects (1995)
Info: The role of Verbal Kint gave Kevin Spacey his first Oscar as Best Supporting Actor. Spacey played a cripple who looks as timid as a child but looks can be dead fucking deceiving.
Memorable Quotes:
Verbal: Who is Keyser Soze? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.
Acted by: Brad Pitt Info: No Oscar here. Just a brilliantly characterised persona that deals with the futiliy of control of life. Also a bit mental. Watching Tyler Durden makes someone wish they could think like that.
Memorable Quotes:
Tyler Durden: Fuck damnation, man! Fuck redemption! We are God's unwanted children? So be it!
Narrator: OK. Give me some water!
Tyler Durden: Listen, you can run water over your hand and make it worse or...
[shouts]
Tyler Durden: Look at me... or you can use vinegar and neutralize the burn.
Narrator: Please let me have it... *Please*!
Tyler Durden: First you have to give up, first you have to *know*... not fear... *know*... that someday you're gonna die.

Memorable Quotes:
Jules: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
