AFIs Top 100 Film Quotes - What are your favorite movie lines?

[IEGeek - 2006]

So last night they aired the Top 100 film quotes from the last 100 years.

I was a little disappointed in some of their selections, however most of the movies that made the list were excellent choices, just the wrong line.

What are your favorite movie lines? I know we kind of covered this in the Infamous Sayings and Motto thread but I wanted to focus on movies

Here is my top 10

10. "My dad's a TV repairman, he's got lots of tools, I can fix it." - Spiccolii - Fast Times at Ridgemont High

9. "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" - Apocalypse Now

8. "Over, nothing is over until we decide it is, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?" - Animal House

7. "Say Hello to my little friend" - Tony Montana - Scarface

6. "Lunch is for wimps" - Gordon Gecko - Wall Street

5. "You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me?" - Adhemar - A Knight's Tale

4. "Sh*t...charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500." - Willard - Apocalypse Now

3. "Well, I believe in the soul, the c**k, the p**sy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days." - Crash - Bull Durham

2. "You tell the men there are four ways of doing things on this ship: The right way, the wrong way, the Navy way, and my way. They do things my way, and we'll get along just fine." - Queeg - The Caine Mutiny

1. "What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you'd come to me in friendship, then this scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you." - Don Corleone - The Godfather

One of my fiancé's friends was talking about "picking up chicks" one night at the bar. The girls were all chatting, totally oblivious to what was going on...
...all of a sudden, this friend walks up to us, leans on the table, looks at us, and says "Nobody puts Baby in the corner".

We all had the same reaction - somewhere between shock, awe, and just melting right there in our seats. None of the guys had a clue what he was talking about...

"I don't know boys, it's from some chick flick. Don't even know what movie it's from...but for some reason, the girls go wild. Works every time."

 

[Craig H.]

I didn't get to watch the whole thing, but I did catch most of it. 2 blatent oversights, in no particular order:

1. "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses." ("Hit it!") The Blues Brothers.

2. "Is there a lawyer in the house?". Trading Places. Eddie Murphy after being chased into a fancy city club and captured by police - the members are virtually all lawyers, it seems.

I tried to pick a line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but there are just so many...

From "Dirty Dancing" - I'm certain.
It sure doesn't do anything for me.
Is "DD" a chic flic?
What's the context of the quote from the character, Johnny, which makes this work for women?
I really am a clueless old white guy when it comes to stuff like this.

I have one that came to mind recently, from an eminently forgettable Walter Matthau movie called The Laughing Policeman from 1973. Being from Chicago, the home of "clout," I particularly enjoyed a conversation between the cynical Matthau character and another cop regarding a politician with a lot of it. Matthau mentions the politician and the amount of clout that he has, and his partner says, "Well, how much clout could he have? Matthau replies, "He could get a charge of sodomy reduced to following too close."

I believe it's from "Dirty Dancing". Jennifer Grey played Baby.

It is from Dirty Dancing and according to the program last night, Johnny was trying to say to Baby's parents, you don't know her like I know her and she does not belong in a corner. If that line works where you are Rachel, then I definately need to move there

Here is the AFI Top 100 List

Off the top of my head:

"Look! We're not worried about the German army, we've got enough troubles of our own. To the right General Patton, to the left the British Army, to the rear our own god**** artillery, and besides all that it's raining. And the only good thing to say about the weather: it keeps our air corps from blowing us all to **** because its too lousy to fly, versteh? "

Anyone recognize that one?

Also, "We could kill everyone!"
"I'm strangely comfortable with the idea"
and
"Rule of thumb? Can't do much damage with that now, can ya? Should have been the rule of wrist!"
