  • Top 100 movie quotes

    ...if you agree with those guys here:

    AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes is a list of the 100 top film quotes of all time, chosen by a jury of over 1,500 leaders from the creative community, including film artists, critics and historians. Selection criteria included choosing quotes from American films which circulate through popular culture, become part of the national lexicon and evoke the memory of a treasured film, thus ensuring and enlivening its historical legacy.The television special AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes originally aired on CBS on June 21, 2005.Chronological


    Scroll down for the complete list. Surprisingly not much from movies of the last two decades (some exceptions).

    Too much 'Casablanca' and not one from 'Pulp Fiction'???!!!
    That movie is littered with great quotes.

    Nice to read them though.
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God? - Epicurus

      Bad list, it lacks many of the best quotes such as:
      "Ni!"
      "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force."
      "Hail to the king, baby!"
      "There can be only one!"
      "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
      Any Private Hudson quote

        While I'm sure many can disagree, as you can with any list... I thought overall it was a pretty good list. I've heard and remembered every one of them...

          I saw that on TV last night. While I don't disagree with the content of the list, I would probably change some of the rankings. For one, I'd put "You can't handle the truth!" in the top 10 for sure.
          "The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned
          "you people who bash Bush have no appreciation for one of the great presidents in our history." - Ned
          "I wish I had gay sex in the boy scouts" - Dissident

            haven't read the complete list yet. I don't tend to agree with those llists anyway. Is anyone here into Jim Jarmush's movie?

              When it gets to the point where there are so many great movies- it's really impossible to rank the top 10-20 quotations of all time- there's simply too much bias and competition to set the top 10-20 in the right order. Beyond that, though, I can see someone ranking them by order...

              as for the too much casablanca- honestly- 1 or 2 of those and 1 of the gone with the wind quotations really shouldn't have been on there.

              I'll second the Pulp Fiction requests- "Zed, baby? Zed's Dead." and of course the "I'm gonna get in here with a bunch of... {snip} and get medieval on his ass." are definitely memorable lines that nearly everyone knows.

                It's hard to come up with a list of "Top 100" quotes.

                However, the list could be more representative.

                I agree - the lack of PF quotes is a serious problem, in as much a disagreement with the AFI lists could be called either "serious" or a "problem."

                  They should of done top 100 quotable movies as many of those movies I had other quotes that I liked better from them... Especially Jerry McGuire's "Show me the money", I like "you had me at hello" better, of course in a sardonical manner.

                      Maybe they should count the total screenplay of Casablanca as one... I mean, every sentence in that movie is a memorable one-liner

                          Good list. I'm glad they didn't bow to the current-movies have to be overrepresented fad. And the best 'Caddyshack' and 'Airplane!' quotes (one from each) were in it as well .

                          Though I would have liked to have seen "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" instead of "King of the World!", but it's understandable.
                          “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
                          - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

                            Which brings us to the Susan Sarandon quote Imran so heartlesly threw away

                              It's a sports quote. They hardly ever do well.
