Top 20 Movie Insults
Hollywood is a vicious place: if you don't have a pointed tongue and a wit to match that of Oscar Wilde, you might as well have 'DUNCE' tattooed on your forehead. Selecting the very best movie insults was an arduous task as there's simply so many to consider. What makes a great movie insult? Swearing will bump you up a few no...

I can't believe they didn't put the insult from the Three Amigos in this list...
"Not so fast, El Guapo, or I'll fill you so full of lead you'll be able to use your dick as a pencil."

LOL :-)

"You know you're not really Peter Pan, don't you? This is only a dream. When you wake up, you'll just be Peter Banning - a cold, selfish man who drinks too much, who's obsessed with success, and runs and hides from his wife and children."

By the crocodilophobic pirate, James Hook himself. Not much of an insult, but when you're Peter Pan who actually GROWS UP and become a lawyer with a face bearing identical resemblance with Robin Williams, those lines gotta hurt. A lot.

its the 34th quote down, if you go to the page. the character named Teddy says it to another character named Vern.

the number 1 insult on this list was said in a movie that came out one year earlier. in 1986, the film "Stand By Me" came out. Go to - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092005/quotes - and youll see it there. Anyway, one of the boys in the movie says pretty much the same exact thing.

Another good Patches insult from Dodgeball: "You're about as useful as a poopy-flavored lollipop."

From Dazed and Confused, Darla: What are you looking at? Wipe that face off your head, bitch.

It's not a movie, but I always remember Phil Hartman's impressions of Frank Sinatra on SNL:

"You don't scare me. I've got chunks of guys tougher than you in my stool!"

S&L Season 4: Episode 15

Not in a movie, but still the best insult monologue ever...

Jane, you ignorant slut! Bagged-out, dried-up, slunken meat like you and Michelle Triola know the rules. If you want a contract, sign on the dotted line. Oh, but let's all shed a tear for poor Michelle Triola. There was only testimony that she had sexual intercourse over forty times with another man while living with actor Lee Marvin. But I suppose that sort of fashionable promiscuting means nothing to you, Jane, who hops from bed to bed with the frequency of a cheap ham radio. But hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn, and Michelle Triola, like a screeching, squealing, reptatious swamp sow is after actor Lee Marvin's last three million dollars. I guess what you and Michelle are saying is that when you're on your backs, the meter is running. Well, please spare us, gals, and tell us the rate's at the top. Then we can choose which two bit tarts and bargain basement sluts to shack up with.

'What's Up, Tiger Lily' was a crazy Woody Allen movie and this line just killed me:
"I'd call you a sadistic sodomistic necrophile but that's just beating a dead horse."

or

"Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you, I'm out!" from Half Baked

That Last Boy Scout quote was old when that movie came out. We said both of those in the mid-80s. Added to that was another comment about sex with big girls: The three Fs were Find a Fold and Fuck.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - "You are the son of a thousand fathers, every one a bastard, just like you!"

Napolean Dynamite - "Your Mom goes to college."

40 Year Old Virgin - "You know how I know you're gay? Your dick tastes liek shit."

I dare anyone to watch Dolemite and not find at least three quotes to make this list.

"I'm so bad I kick my own ass twice a day." Petey Wheatstraw
"You rat soup eatin' motherfuckers." Dolemite

WORST insult ever: In "Roadhouse" when Dalton (Patrick Swayze) is fighting Wesley's martial arts-trained goon by the lake (I think his name was Jimmy), he says to Dalton "I used to fuck guys like you in prison". Huh??? WTF!!

Just found an old issue of Hotdog (sob) with a similar list, Movie Insults for Every Occassion. My favourite is this, from Detroit Rock City:
[When asked if you've learned your lesson] "If the lesson is you're a dick with ears and a really bad haircut, then yeah, I'd say I learned my lesson."

You missed Cher's line to Jack Nicholson from Witches of Eastwick-

"I think... no, I am positive... that you are the most unattractive man I have ever met in my entire life. You know, in the short time we've been together, you have demonstrated EVERY loathsome characteristic of the male personality and even discovered a few new ones. You are physically repulsive, intellectually retarded, you're morally reprehensible, vulgar, insensitive, selfish, stupid, you have no taste, a lousy sense of humor and you smell. You're not even interesting enough to make me sick. "

And of course there is the long set up for Clint Eastwood in White Hunter Black Heart................

This list is totally discredited for missing the best movie insult of all times.

From "The Usual Suspects"
[in interrogation room]
cop: You know what happens if you do another turn in the joint?
Hockney: Fuck your father in the shower and then have a snack? Are you going to charge me dickhead?

it's not an insult, but someone has mentioned a threat.

The Blues Brothers "You're gonna look pretty funny tryin' to eat corn on the cob with NO FUCKING TEETH!" cracks me up every time without fail.

There's a few good ones in The Running Man. I particularly like the simples ones best, like "Hey Christmas tree!" and "Follow me Lightbulb!"

I love this article!
It's a great get-around of some of the best insults I can recall.
Non the less, since I'm not natural to any English spoken country, but consider the English language my 2nd 1st language (no mistake here), and due to some cultural differences (I believe) I may have ordered this list differently.

Non the less, great article!
I'm sure to be droping by frequently!!!

Office Space gave us 'no talent ass clown' and it should make the list:

Samir: No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right. It's not that hard: Samir Na-gheen-an-a-jar. Nagheenanajar.
Michael Bolton: Yeah, well at least your name isn't Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know there's nothing wrong with that name.
Michael Bolton: There was nothing wrong with it... until I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

Shinebox=Goodfellas?

Here's the real #1. It's a translation, so perhaps it's even better in French. From the great movie Man Bites Dog: "Soon she'll be sucking cock just like her mother!"

Don't Ask: What's a paramecium brain?
Peter Banning: I'll tell you what a paeramecium is. It's a one-celled critter with no brain, that can't fly. Don't mess with me man, I'm a lawyer!
Kids: [chanting] Banning, Banning, Banning, Banning.
