Of those options I chose "Watch your head." First of all, it's clever. Second, I love how she thought of it and just randomly said it. Other lines I like: the "I always thought she was useless!" in Sleepy Hollow. That one always makes me giggle. I also like the "I only let her die" in Merlin. Blackadder is full of funny quotes. "Blackie...you are soo naughty!" lol.

I love the one about sneezing and the cold in blackadder. Cause Queenie said she'd cut off 'Bob's' nose lol I love that one too, it goes something along the lines of: "Is her nose as pretty as mine? Good, cos if it was, I'd have to chop it off! Ewww, imagine what would happen if she got a cold!" Out of the list, my favourite is "watch your head!" Pure genious! Most of my favourites come from Blackadder. My favourites are: "hope you're not too miffed, byeee!" from Chains and "just a little drinky and I'll execute the whole bally lot of you!" from Beer.

"Watch your head" Miranda is total perfection in that movie. Everything she did and said was amazing.

I liked Miranda in Dance to The Music of Time. In Dance, she played Pamela Flitton, who was a nymphomaniac, and who was mean and nasty. Pamela says so many insulting things to and about almost everyone. Miranda played her with beauty, wit and ruthlessness. Her facial expressions are priceless. Pamela says such things as "balls" and "bugger off." She talks about screwing and drinking and does both. There are too many Pamela Flitton quotes which Miranda delivers with her usual well-trained voice. Miranda's part as Pamela Flitton is by itself worth the cost of the DVD set. You'll treasure the Miranda/Pamela lines.

Nymphomaniac? Interesting choice of word to describe her. I think I'd tend to disagree, though I dislike that word as a rule, really. Interestingly enough, it's not a term one usually hears used to describe men, is it? She certainly falls into the literary/film trope of femme fatale, but femme fatales are not usually portrayed as being obsessed with sex, but rather as enjoying the power sexuality gives them. She's a powerful picture of both destructiveness and self-destruction, and probably the most intriguing character I think Miranda has ever played - not matter how many times I watch the film, I can never figure out quite what she's about or why she does the things she does.
Anyway, back to topic - yes, she has some brilliant lines, but I think what she doesn't say is even more intriguing.
Quotes are best in context, IMO. But I think taking them out of context, I'd have to agree with Strike - the Blackadder ones are the most awesome. 'Who's Queen?' 'You killed Nursie! That's horrid!'
Blackadder is just so quotable. After all, I've been using one of Melchett's Back and Forth lines as my email signature for like a year and a half: "Well, glaze my nipples and call me Rita!"
