The guys over at Sky Q released a comprehensive list of their top movie quotes. Here we have the top three as voted by their viewers:

 1 - "I'll Be Back" Arnie - The Terminator

 
2 - "Houston, We Have a Problem" Tom Hanks - Apollo 13
 
 
3 - "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!!" Michael Caine - The Italian Job.
 
 
So Ian said he would ask listeners for their favourite quotes from Irish movies. Loads of people got in touch with the show and gave us their suggestions:

 Who could forget Shirley Henderson as Sally in Intermission? Her line has been used many's a time throughout the land (as an insult I'm sure),

 "Intermission. When the woman gets on the bus and says to the bus driver. 'Have I got a ronnieeee'. Mary Kildare"

The iconic Daniel Day-Lewis as Christy Brown...

"From My Left Foot - “Let Christy take it”... Eamon D15"

Our favourite Roddy Doyle book-to-screen adaptation, The Snapper, could have filled the list on it's own, but "Baz" said this was his pick of the bunch,

 "(Dessie to Kay, after finding nothing to watch on TV) I suppose a ride's out of the question?"

Dunno if you remember the 1988 movie "Taffin" (I didn't), where Pierce Brosnan plays Taffin - an Irish tough-guy debt collector who is asked by his local community to help rid the town of developers?? *scratches head*. Well this quote got a surprising amount of mentions and was Shauna's favourite - it had her in knots!
