"when there is doubt, there is no doubt"

That one quote likely makes Casablanca the most-quoted film of all-time on FR. The only possible competitor is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
That one quote likely makes Casablanca the most-quoted film of all-time on FR. The only possible competitor is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I didn’t feel like listing the Top 100. I felt as if FR could better digest 50 in a thread, with my note to take a look at the other #51-#100 before giving up on a favorite quote.
I thought it was "could be worse,could be raining".
That why my initial post #1 said "Check the link for quotes #51-#100 to see if your favorite is included."
Thanks, yes I’m one of the many who didn’t read 51-100. Still, “Show me the money” shouldn’t be that high on the list...in fact it woudn’t make my list at all.

Phoebe Cates, unforgettable !!
Sorry,
Any list that doesn’t have the FIRST quote from a movie is not a list. Doesn’t have to be first.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain’t heard nothing yet”
Al Jolsen “The Jazz Singer” 1927

The thing about Breaking Bad that has bothered me is that meth use has been seen in a positive light. At least in the first season or two. I couldn’t watch the rest. Meth is a drug that is so addicting that it has a terrible recidivism rate (93%), and I have a very dear friend whose son’s life has been turned upside down because of it. We don’t know how much longer we’ll have him on this side of the grave. It’s very hard to watch the destruction so close. He was once a wonderful kind young man. His family is torn apart and devastated. I really feel that BB had something to do with his trying it in the first place.
