FREEDOM!

The battle scenes are all spectacular. Countless of battles have been portrayed on the movies through times. What made these ones special was that they didn't shy away from the brutality of hand to hand combat, you felt the immediacy of the bodies clashing, limbs flying, etc, All the while I didn't feel this to be violence for violence sake, it told the story powerfully. True, many historians have criticized Gibson for inaccuracies,(not the first time this has happened and most probably won't be the last), but I'm maybe thinking on pure cinematic experience here. As for the quote, I like: "Every man dies, not every man really lives."

FREEEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!

"They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!"

"I see your Mothers been talkin' about me again....." -Hamish's Father, Campbell(Played by James Cosmo)

"Richard Simmons."

The scene that has stayed in my mind the most is when Wallace is entering the compound with the English Lord who killed his wife. That entire scene is beautifully directed but especially the contrasting expression on Wallace's face and the face of the first young man he kills. The youth's face looks innocent, pure, trusting as if he's meeting an old friend but Wallace's face is twisted in rage as he's about to lay into him with a most vicious and fatal blow! A couple other noteworthy scenes are the last scene when they storm the battle field at Bannockburn which is all done in agonizingly beautiful slow motion with the narrators voice talking about them fighting as Poet/Warriors! It's awesome! The scene where he's being executed and his eyes fix upon a child's angelic face in the crowd. The falling of the axe while executing the death blow. The assasination attempt while deer hunting. Stephen the "crazy" Irishman stating that he didn't trust the other guy because he wasn't "right in the head" is one of the best lines I've ever heard in any movie! Also, when he said that "in order for an Irishman to find his equal he's forced to converse with the Almighty!" Classic! Pure Classic!

My favorite movie! My favorites have been listed already, except "You dropped your rock", which I sometimes use when I make a mistake.

The scene were mel gibson destroys british people

at the end when mel gibson shouts freedom well we were watching this film on the way back from a concert on the bus and the tape went mad and it was more like freeeeeeddddddoooooooowwwwmmmmmmmmm haha

William Wallace: In the Year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland - starving and outnumbered - charged the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets; they fought like Scotsmen, and won their freedom. Aye.

Sorry, but the wedding night scene.

The 'big' fight scene is my favorite quote: Wallace : Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom. Wallace and Soldiers : Alba gu bra ! Scotland forever ! It still gives me goosebumps. :-) But, my favorite scene is when we find that he has carried the thistle that was given him for so many years. Tears...always. :-)

"I've been talking to the Almighty and he is pretty sure he can get me out of this. But he said you're Focked" HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH Steven, Crazed Irishman

"YOUR HEART IS FREE, HAVE THE COURAGE TO FOLLOW IT" :) x x x

"Yar dropped yar rock!"

Lower your flags and march straight back to England, stopping at every home to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do this and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.

You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

I love that movie so much I could never chose.

for me it was the sex scene cuz my aunt flipped out when she saw that...

In the year of our lord 1314, Patriots of Scotland, Starving & Outnumbered, Charged the fields of banockburn, they fought like Warrior Poets, they fought like Scotsmen, and won their freedom

The scene where Wallace comes back to avenge his wife's death. All of his boys help him take care of the English bastards and he gets the "Sheriff" and puts him up against the wooden pole. You might expect a big speech or outright rage at this point, but there isn't. He cuts his throat and lets him fall, the ultimate and coldest revenge.

When he was betrayed by Robert the Bruce and you could see the pain in both of their eyes, that moment was the single most intense scene in the movie.

You tell your king that William Wallace will *not* be ruled nor will any Scot while I live.

QUOTE: (After the obvious ones already cited - "All men die ..." and basically any other one involving the word FREEDOM - is this one:) "The problem with Scotland is ... it's full of Scots!" SCENE: (Again, after the obivious ones) Where Edward throws the prince's boyfriend out the tower window and then bitchslaps his son into a sobbing fit. Love it or hate it, you've got to admit it's memorable. BTW, in history King Edward didn't throw the guy out the window: he had him hacked to death by his barrons in front of the whole court in the throne room.

I am William Wallace, I shoot lighting bolts oot me arse. (Not the exact quote haven`t seen it in a while).

The secret wedding is completely my favourite part. I also really like the scene at the beginning where William meets his old friend at that festival, and where after the rock duel they completely hug each other and all. It's a great reunion. Also, Galooly stole my favourite quote. XD

The freedom speech,when murron gives william the flower when his father died,so many of the battle scene are really awesome too!

I like when the King threw his son's gay lover out the window. I thought it was kinda funny.

Ego numquam pronunciare mendacium, sed ego sum homo indomitus It was very touching and proved him an educated man.

"Where are ya goin'?" "I'm goin' to peck a fight" "Well, at least we didn't get dressed-up for nothin'."

You have bled with Wallace, now bleed with me. Craig: Ah! Hamish: AAAAAHHHHH! (Throws William's sword out into the field. It stabs into the earth, standing like a cross. Crowd: WALLACE, WALLACE, WALLACE, WALLACE. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! (Scots charge) In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered, charged the fields at Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsmen. And won their freedom. that was great
