AFI top 100 movie quotes
Here is the list of 400 to be cut down to 100

http://afionline.org/Docs/tvevents/pdf/quotes400.pdf

Some are questionable: Yeah baby from Austin Powers ?! But there are some real good ones. I think Casablanca will be at the top, especially "we'll always have Paris" and "here's looking at you kid".

one of my favorites, but you have to see Carlotta almost trip after Kitty says the first line:

KITTY
was reading a book the other day.
CARLOTTA
Reading a book?
KITTY
Yes. It's all about civilization or
something, a nutty kind of a book. Do you
know that the guy said that machinery is
going to take the place of every profession?
CARLOTTA
Oh, my dear, that's something you need never
worry about.

Dinner at Eight

1. Classical movies quotes:

Gone with the wind : Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

Citizen Kane : Rosebud

Wayne's world : Exsqueeze me ? A baking powder ?

2. Thanks for posting that!
That was fun! What classics. I wanted to print it but I'm sure I'd attract attention printing 103 pages at work. I'm glad I got to see it before they cut it, though. They can cut the one about putting Baby in the corner from Dirty Dancing. That one is so embarrassingly bad it makes me cringe every time.

5. "Rosebud"
With a nod to: "Open the pod bay doors, Hal."
But my personal favorite, "We must not allow them to sap and impurify our natural fluids!"

This is a thread that makes "an offer I can refuse"!

7. "Saigon...sheeeit..."
and, from the same film, "They offered me a mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another". One of the best films of all time...homage to Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Sheesh Willard, you've put on weight.

I'm going to have a shifty at the url to the quotes, just so I can get all indignant and pompous at the absence of European films...heehee. Nice wee link flygal, this stuff is food and drink to film anoraks like me.

Hey, let's start a "Best films of all time" thread (or sub-thread as the case may be)

"You want a toe? Hell, I can get you a toe by 3:00. With nail polish!"
