I've updated the master list of threads in the first post of this thread. I have also updated the alphabetical list of movie titles with quote threads. Furthermore, in commemoration of the 550 thread milestone, I've quoted some of the most popular posts of the last fifty threads - as selected by you. As with earlier collections of "greatest hits", I included as many posters as possible. (In alphabetical order by movie title, then post order in the thread)
Blade Runner (1982)Gosh, you've... really got some nice toys here.  Would you... like to be upgraded?  “He’s says you’re Blade Runner!” “Tell him I’m eating!” 
The Breakfast Club (1985)Could You Describe The Ruckus, Sir  Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe? 
Dawn of the Dead (1978) Voice of the Redshirt - "I'm gonna try... not to... I'm gonna try... not to... come back. I'm gonna try... not to..."    Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. It gets up and kills! The people it kills get up and kill! 
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982)  If you need me, just call. You know how to dial, don't you? You just put your finger in the hole and make tiny little circles. I could be your Heinamackafrau. 
Flight of the Navigator (1986)He's communicating directly with the computer in binary code.
For Your Eyes Only (1981) Bibi: [in bed trying to seduce Bond] That's a laugh. Everyone knows it builds up muscle tone. James Bond: Well, how about you build up a little more muscle tone by putting on your clothes? The Chinese have a saying; "Before setting off on revenge, you first dig *two* graves"!  "All right, keep your hair on." Melina: I didn't think it would end like this. James Bond: We're not dead yet. Hold tight. 
Forbidden Planet (1956)Nice climate you have here. High oxygen content. 
Gone with the Wind (1939)You're like the thief who isn't the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he's going to jail. 
The Incredibles (2004) We're dead! We're dead! We survived but we're dead!
The Man with Two Brains (1983) Cover her breasts. I'm a man, flesh and blood.  |

I've updated the master list of threads in the first post of this thread. I have also updated the alphabetical list of movie titles. Furthermore, in commemoration of the 600 thread milestone, I've quoted some of the most popular posts of the last fifty threads - as selected by you. My thanks to all our clever and creative quote thread contributors! (In alphabetical order by movie title, then post order in the thread)
Goldfinger (1964)Ejector seat? You're joking!  If that's his original ball, I'm Arnold Palmer. 'Tisn't.
How do you know? I'm standing on it.  Now, let's both play. 
The Great Escape (1963)I want a system of stooges covering this compound from front to back, checking every goon in and out.  I want a signal system so perfect that if ever a ferret gets within fifty feet of any of the huts in which we're working, we can shut down without a sign.  Afraid this tea's pathetic. Must have used these wretched leaves about twenty times.  You know what that is? I'll tell you what it isn't. It isn't Napoleon Brandy... 
The Great Muppet Caper (1981)What are you doing here?A Very Brief Cameo!
Harry and the Hendersons (1987)Dr. Wallace Wrightwood: Well, Jacques-o, what's next for you? Jacques LaFleur: I don't know. There's always Loch Ness.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) When we crashed, my entire life flashed before my eyes. It didn't take too long.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) It's dad's Grail diary. Every clue he followed. Every discovery he made. A complete record of his search for the Holy Grail. This is his whole life. Why would he have sent this to me?
"Our situation has not improved."
 Walter Donovan: He sticks out like a sore thumb. We'll find him. Indiana Jones: The hell you will. He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already.  What's happening to me? Rolls-Royce Phantom two. 4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine,  ...with a Stromberg downdraft carburetor, can go from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in 12.5 seconds.  And I even like the color.  "You lost today kid, but that doesn't mean you have to like it." 
The Poseidon Adventure (1972)Tell 'em to break out their hymnals and start singing "Nearer My God To Thee" !  KHAN!!!
Sneakers (1992)The, young lady with the... Uzi. Is she single? 
Two for the Road (1967)Picard: If there's one thing I really despise, it's an indispensable woman. 
Victor/Victoria (1982)I was the leading soprano for the Bath Touring Light Opera Company... You're very athletic for a soprano. That's because I had three brothers.  |

My thanks to all our clever and creative quote thread contributors! (In alphabetical order by movie title, then post order in the thread)
Brokeback Mountain (2005)I wish I knew how to quit you.
 What are you waitin' for, cowboy? ...a mating call? 
Capricorn One (1978)Anybody hungry? Oh, the marvels of American science. Here we are millions of miles from Earth, and we can still send out for pizza.  “You know, when Apollo 17 landed on the Moon, people were calling up the networks and bitching because reruns of I Love Lucy were cancelled.” 
Coma (1978) I'd pay to see a movie called 'Comatoes', about a man whose feet have fallen terminally asleep. 
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) A poacher who shoots at rabbits may scare big game away.  Arthur, I'm sorry I broke your VHS player. I want you to give me the make and model number. As soon as I get settled, I'm gonna send you a check. 
Dragnet (1987) Your attention, please. The story you are about to see is true; the names have been changed to protect the innocent. For example: George Baker is now called "Sylvia Wiss. "
The Emerald Forest (1985)I told you if you said that one more time I was gonna strangle you. 
Interview with the Vampire (1994)Which one of you did it? One of you did it! Which on of you made me the way I am?  Oh Louis, Louis. Still whining, Louis. Have you heard enough? I've had to listen to that for centuries. 
Octopussy (1983)  "This is absolute madness!"
Outland (1981)"Next birthday, I'll get you two presents."  You'll be missing some teeth in a minute if you don't eat breakfast. 
The Right Stuff (1983)There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier. "...I did NOT do anything wrong. The hatch just BLEW. It was a GLITCH. It was a- a TECHNICAL MALFUNCTION. Why in hell won't anyone believe me?" 
Rope (1948)It's not what I'm going to do, Brandon. It's what society is going to do. I don't know what that will be, but I can guess, and I can help. You're going to die, Brandon. Both of you. You are going to die.  It's the darkness that's got you down. Nobody feels really safe in the dark. 
The World Is Not Enough (1999)Would you like to check my figures? Oh, I'm sure they're perfectly rounded.  |

I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that there are brand new Blu-Ray screencaps of Star Trek: The Original Series at TrekCore.com, and they look beautiful. The bad news is that they took down the TOS screencaps that we've been using since Feb 24, 2018! I did notice beforehand that something was going on, and managed to preemptively update many image links prior to the old pictures being taken down. It's going to take a while, but I'm committed to fixing as many of my broken image links as possible. I will also fix the "greatest hits" in this sticky thread as I get to them. So if you see a lot of dead image links, it's not because TrekCore.com is down, it's because they reorganized their content.
UPDATE 8/28/2023And now for some good news... TNG Blu-Ray ( and DVD), TAS Blu-Ray, ENT Blu-Ray, as well as DS9 and VOY DVD screencaps at TrekCore.com are all still in working order. In addition, I have reviewed/fixed the "greatest hits" for all past thread milestones. Most of these images were OK as is, but several needed to be to fixed. You can click through to your original posts I quoted, and if necessary edit them, using the updated pictures I've provided. "Greatest Hits" by Milestone:100 thread - Part I100 thread - Part II150 thread200 thread250 thread300 thread350 thread400 thread450 thread500 thread550 thread600 thread650 thread
UPDATE 8/31/2023Sorry to report that my Season 3 "easy fix" isn't going to be permanent. I discovered that TrekCore.com is slowly rolling out all new Season 3 images after all. I once again fixed some "greatest hits" in this thread, and then downloaded all pages of this thread for future reference. However, I will have to update some of these again in the future.
UPDATE - 09/16/2023TrekCore has finished their TOS Blu-ray updates. I have corrected the "greatest hits" once again. This time they should stay fixed. I have repaired about 39% of my broken image links. Using that knowledge, I have created Conversion Guide threads for Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3. I will post regular updates in those threads until all TOS episodes are listed.
UPDATE 11/02/2023I have completed the fixing/validation of my broken image links. For details, and to learn how you can leverage the fruits of my labor, click here.
UPDATE 12/28/2023I noted in my 8/28/2023 update that "TNG DVD screencaps at TrekCore.com were still in working order." Now, four months later, that is no longer the case. The DVD screencaps have been taken down, and now only TNG Blu-ray Screencaps are available. I noticed this change because certain "greatest hits" suddenly had broken image links. I have now fixed these, as well as my own broken TNG image links. Thankfully most of the TNG images I've been using were the HD versions. |

Yesterday I wrote, "TrekCore has finished their TOS Blu-ray updates. I have corrected the "greatest hits" once again. This time they should stay fixed." It turns out I spoke too soon, because now TrekCore has reorganized their 'Voyager' Screencap & Image Gallery. The good news is this is a path only update. They didn't change the images, they just renamed the folders the images reside in. To be specific, they added the season number and episode name to the path. For example, voy.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/5x05/ is now voy.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/s5/505-once-upon-a-time/. So, the good news is you don't need to worry about the image name or number. If you've got the new path, you should be able to just update that, and fix the broken image link quickly. For the record, I found only one exception to the rules I spelled out above. For some reason, an image from the Season 5 episode "Dark Frontier" didn't update properly after I changed the path to voy.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/s5/515-516-dark-frontier/. |

TrekCore has reorganized their 'Deep Space 9' Screencap & Image Gallery. The good news is this is a path only update. They didn't change the images, they just renamed the folders the images reside in. To be specific, they added the season number and episode name to the path. For example, ds9.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/4x10/ is now ds9.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season4/410-our-man-bashir/. So, the good news is you don't need to worry about the image name or number. If you've got the new path, you should be able to just update that, and fix the broken image link quickly. For the record, I found only one exception to the rules I spelled out above. The two-part Season 4 episode "The Way of the Warrior" seems to have been merged from two galleries into one. As such, the file numbers didn't stay consistent. |

As I wrote earlier in this thread, TrekCore.com reorganized their Star Trek: The Original Series image galleries starting in August 2023. In the process, they removed their old images and replaced them with new Blu-Ray screencaps. I worked diligently over a period of months to fix my broken image links (8/24/2023-10/18/2023), and to review all my old posts (10/18/2023-11/02/2023). Along the way I documented my repairs, and now my TOS Conversion Guides for Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3 are complete. These threads will greatly simplify any conversion effort you wish to undertake. P.S. I plan to create a new quote thread on Saturday, November 4th. Watch for it! |

As I've noted earlier in this thread, TrekCore.com has been reorganizing their image galleries. In August 2023, they broke image links for The Original Series. In September 2023, they broke image links for Voyager. In October 2023, they did the same for Deep Space Nine. And now in January 2024, they have finally reorganized their 'Next Generation' Screencap & Image Gallery. The good news is, to get the images to display again, you need to perform a path only update. They didn't change the Blu-Ray images, they just renamed the folders the images reside in. TrekCore added the season number to the path for each of the first three seasons. In this case, you can determine the old path's season number by looking for either "1x", "2x" or "3x". For example, an img src of "tng.trekcore.com/hd/albums/3x26/the_best_of_both_worlds_part1_hd_570.jpg" will become "tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season3/3x26/the_best_of_both_worlds_part1_hd_570.jpg". OLD PATH (SEASONS 1-3):tng.trekcore.com/hd/albums/NEW PATHS (SEASONS 1-3):tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season1/tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season2/tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season3/TrekCore also did some minor path updates for the last four seasons, as illustrated below. OLD PATHS (SEASONS 4-7):tng.trekcore.com/hd/albums/season-4/tng.trekcore.com/hd/albums/season-5/tng.trekcore.com/hd/albums/season-6/tng.trekcore.com/hd/albums/season-7/NEW PATHS (SEASONS 4-7):tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season4/tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season5/tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season6/tng.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/screencaps/season7/So, the good news is you don't need to worry about the image name or number. If you've got the new path, you should be able to edit your post and fix the broken image link quickly. |

Here's a word of friendly warning. I advise you to avoid using images from Cygnus-X1.Net. Early on during my TOS conversion process I did rely on Cygnus-X1.Net for about a dozen images, but lately that site has become unreliable. Sometimes their images load, sometimes they don't. I have also seen Cygnus-X1.Net return internal server error 500 recently. Since there are other more reliable sites available, I have decided not to take any chances. I have scrubbed all references to Cygnus-X1.Net in my Conversion Guide threads for Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3. I have also replaced the Cygnus-X1.Net image in one "greatest hit". |
