YES! YES YES! For some of us that is victory of sorts

[JVS]

1. Liberty, Equality, Stupidity!

Long live the revolution!

[HEyHEY]

2. That's caddyshack? I don't remember it

[JVS]

7. No, that's from me

My point is that we must work hard to make a world that is safe for stupidity. Too many, such as the compilers of that list, want things to be serious. I've had enough of seriousness. We need stuff to be ridiculous. The Caddyshack quote, or Caddyshack in general, is a proud example of silliness we need so badly

[HEyHEY]

8. That and "Toga toga"

[leftofthedial]

3. what a lame list

aw fuck it

let's go bowling

[HEyHEY]

4. The order is really messed up

[u4ic]

13. Have to agree with you about the list

and about the bowling...

:woohoo:

[lenidog]

20. I was four hundred nominees and most of the quotes that didn't make it

were better than the ones that did.

[Zinfandel]

5. Shit, Woody Allen alone, has had a hundred great lines in his many movies

[lenidog]

6. Some of those lines are rather lame.

I can't believe that neither of my favorite quotes from the "Princess Bride" didn't make it.

[HEyHEY]

9. Like; No one puts baby in a corner - I don't even fucking GET that

[lenidog]

10. I have no idea what the hell that one is about.

[KitchenWitch]

11. I like number 54

"There's no crying in baseball!"

[alphafemale]

18. All I had to say to my daughter was "League of Their Own"

She'd been out of the room.

But guessed the quote.

[KitchenWitch]

22. It is a classic!

[WatchWhatISay]

12. What about "Follow the Money"

from all the Presidents Men?

[lenidog]

15. I am looking at the four hundred nominees and it was there but didn't win

(link to a PDF file at the bottom of the page)

[alphafemale]

14. The fall'll probably kill ya'!

Lot's of great quotes missed.

[praxiz]

16. What about:

"Give him a gun and he becomes Superman.
Give him two and he becomes God."

- from "Hard Boiled" (John Woo)

[tarkus]

27. Now that is a great movie. NM

[enigmatic]

17. This list; oy!

No "tell 'em I'm coming, and hell's coming with me!" and "I'm here to kick ass and chew gum, and I'm all out of gum"?

[alphafemale]

19. No One Expects the Spanish Inquisition! nt

[JVS]

21. That isn't from a movie is it?

[HEyHEY]

23. No, HOWEVER why is no Python there?

Like say: "We've found a witch may we burn her?"

[Felix Mala]

36. AMERICAN Film Institute - Sorry No Bergman or Fellini, either

[HEyHEY]

37. I figured they'd at least recognize good foreign lines

But of course americans aren't known for that

[alphafemale]

24. On memory jog you're right. Was thinking of musical sketch from

History of the World Part I

But my quote was something "completely different"

thanks!

:hi:

Now...

"What is the velocity of a laden sparrow?"

[AmyDeLune]

25. Most of the "Quotes" miss the point--

A really good quote makes sense out of context.

Most of the ones they picked don't make any sense unless you know what movie and in some cases what scene the quote is from. *sigh*

[NJCher]

28. hah!

That's what I was afraid of and why we skipped watching it tonight.

I just knew they'd do that. They can't do anything of quality these days.


Cher

[tarkus]

26. Do the Pulp Fiction quotes in the 400 seem weird to you?

That movie is packed with good ones... but they chose
"Bring out the gimp" and
"they call it a royale with cheese."

Those seem like odd choices.

And Spike Lee shouldn't really get credit for "We didn't land on Plymouth Rock, the Rock landed on us" from Malcolm X, since that was actually from a speech of Malcolm's. It is a great line though.

No Kevin Smith!
Nothing said by Edward Norton!
No "How 'bout them apples?" from Good Will Hunting!

[u4ic]

29. NO QUOTES from the Lion in Winter??!

:wtf:

[alphafemale]

30. Maybe you don't have to kill yourself, to kill your self....paraphrasing

from Saturday Night Fever

[gardenista]

31. I'm walkin here, I'm walkin here! Just finished watching

Midnight Cowboy, and here's the line.

What an amazing film.

Dustin Hoffman has a couple of good lines here.

[expatriot]

32. Six in the top one hundred from Casablanca but NONE from

It's a Wonderful Life?

[expatriot]

33. Another oft-quoted line is "So let it be written, so let it be done."

from 1956's The Ten Commandments.

[no_hypocrisy]

34. AFI missed a big one: Henry Fonda/Tom Joad's moving covenant at the

end of Grapes of Wrath: "I'll be all around in the dark. I'll be everywhere, wherever you can look. Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready and where people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build. I'll be there, too."


First runner-up: "Seems like the government's got more interest in a dead man than a live one." Tom Joad

Second runner-up: "If there was a law, they was workin' with maybe we could take it, but it ain't the law. They're workin' away our spirits, tryin' to make us cringe and crawl, takin' away our decency." Tom Joad

[Felix Mala]

39. Did they make ya mad, son? Did they make ya mean mad?

[HEyHEY]

35. Also no "As far back as I can remember - I always watned to be a gangster"

What the fuck? Nothing from Lawrence of Arabia Either

[Felix Mala]

38. Amputate a man's leg and it still tickles him. Tell me mum, when

your Catherine is lying on the slab, where will it tickle you?

[hyphenate]

40. Several of them were easy to guess. Of the top 10

I guessed long in advance on about 6 or 7 of them.

At least one of my favorites made it, although it should have been much higher than it was:

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!"

[Felix Mala]

41. I only guessed 2 of top 5, but I nailed #1... glad a 60 yo movie still

counts.

I thought there was a good mix of old and new, including Jazz Singer. Too many times, classics get neglected. Maybe a little too much from Casablanca. But this show was really about good scripts and Casablanca is one of the best. If you haven't seen Chinatown, the program had the Mother of All Spoilers in it...
