The presence on this list of so many older movies from the 30s, 40s and 50s is indicative of the great screenwriting was done in those days. There won’t be a lot of quotes from recent times because they now rely on special-effects rather than great dialogue in the movies.
“I’m gonna have somebody’s ass in my briefcase” - Wilford Brimley in Absence of Malice.
“Why don’t you call me when you have no class” - Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Or, from the same series:
“Who do you think you’re talking to?”
[Silence]
“I am the danger. I am the one who knocks.”
