Well hello, Mister Fancypants! |  |
The top 100 movie quotes of all time (according to the AFI) have been released.
The top dozen:
- “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn,” “Gone With the Wind,” 1939.
- “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse,” “The Godfather,” 1972.
- “You don’t understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could’ve been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am,” “On the Waterfront,” 1954.
- “Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore,” “The Wizard of Oz,” 1939.
- “Here’s looking at you, kid,” “Casablanca,” 1942.
- “Go ahead, make my day,” “Sudden Impact,” 1983.
- “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up,” “Sunset Blvd.,” 1950.
- “May the Force be with you,” “Star Wars,” 1977.
- “Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night,” “All About Eve,” 1950.
- “You talking to me?” “Taxi Driver,” 1976.
- “What we’ve got here is failure to communicate,” “Cool Hand Luke,” 1967.
- “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” “Apocalypse Now,” 1979.
I can’t believe that the ending line from Casablanca doesn’t make it higher than 20. Travesty! Also, they should have included the whole quote from Apocalypse Now! - “It smells like… Victory.”
Although I am partially appeased by the inclusion of #77. “Soylent Green is people!”; my biggest problem… no Ash quotes.
Insensitive. Bastards.

Agreed on the Ash quotes.
