This does reflect my opinion. Lines are now open for comment.

Today's thoughts:

• The list was compiled by AFI in 2005, so newer movies are not included. What's missing from this list?
• Check the link for quotes #51-#100 to see if your favorite is included. (Yes, ". . . and don't call me Shirley" is included at #79)
• Six of AFI's Top 100 Movie Quotes (and five of the top 50) come from Casablanca. Nine of the Top 100 quotes come from Humphrey Bogart movies.
• FR's most used movie quote, Capt. Renault's "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here' didn't make the Top 100 list. FR's first or second most-quoted movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail ("A moose once bit my sister"; "I got better"; African and European sparrows and coconuts; the Frenchman at the Castle; the 'girls' at Camelot; "Bring out your dead!/I'm not dead yet!"; shrubberies; the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch; "It's only a flesh wound!"; Dennis the peasant; etc.) didn't make the list of the Top 100 quotes.

What's missing from the list?

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 know it’s not a movie but top this Roseanne Roseannadanna

Jane Curtin: This past Thursday was the Great American Smoke Out, a day that everyone in America was encouraged to stop smoking cigarettes for a twenty-four hour period. Here to comment further is Update health correspondent, Roseanne Roseannadanna.

Roseanne Roseannadanna: Thanks a lot, Jane! Thanks a lot! A Mr. Richard Feder from Fort Lee, New Jersey writes in and says: “Dear Roseanne Roseannadanna, Last Thursday, I quit smokin’. Now, I’m depressed, I gained weight, my face broke out, I’m nauseous, I’m constipated, my feet swelled, my gums are bleedin’, my sinuses are clogged, I got heartburn, I’m cranky and I have gas. ... What should I do?” ... Mr. Feder, you sound like a real attractive guy! ... You belong in New Jersey! ...
But I know exactly what you’re goin’ through ‘cause once, I, Roseanne Roseannadanna, quit smokin’. And to get back in shape, I had to join one of those fancy-shmancy health clubs. You know, the ones where it’s real expensive to join but it’s worth it, ‘cause you get to see a lot o’ people that you don’t know naked! ... Like, some people got those bulgy-bulgy thighs, the ones that get chafed just ‘cause they’re always scrapin’ against each other. ... And there’s other people there that got these funny belly buttons. Like, some go in and some go out or it’s like a hole or it curls around or it’s like a little knob on it, like a door. ... Some of them got a little piece of their sweater still in it! ... Some of ‘em look like a little star or a shell or a clam. Or some, you don’t what they are! ... But, personally, I, Roseanne Roseannadanna, don’t like to walk around with no clothes in front of other people! Not that I don’t got a great body. ... But why should I waste it on a bunch of fat ladies in a health club?

Anyway, they got this sauna there which is a little hot room where you go to sweat like a pig. ... So, I go in there but before I sit down, I put this clean towel on the bench ‘cause there’s a lot of people in there and you don’t know where they been! ... So, listen to this. Who do you think is sitting next to me but Dr. Joyce Brothers! ... That very smart pixie lady who thinks she knows everything. But what this nude psychologist doesn’t know is that she had this little teeny tiny ball o’ sweat right here, hangin’ off the tip of her nose! ... It was just hangin’ there! It wouldn’t fall off! ... Like, if she turned her head, it didn’t fall off, if she stood up, it didn’t fall off, she scratched, it didn’t fall off, and when she picked a little piece of sweater out of her belly button, it didn’t fall off! ... That little sweat ball just wouldn’t fall off! ... So I yelled at her. I said, “Hey! Doctor! Flick that sweat ball off your nose! ... What are ya tryin’ to do? Make me sick?!” She—

Jane Curtin: Roseanne!

Roseanne Roseannadanna: What? What?

Jane Curtin: What do health clubs, sweat and saunas have to do with cigarettes?

Roseanne Roseannadanna: Well, Jane. It just goes to show ya! It’s always somethin’! If it’s not one thing, it’s another! Either you smoke or you have a sweat ball hangin’ off your nose! ... It’s just like the song we used to sing on Thanksgiving when I was a little girl. Everybody would come over to my house lookin’ all pretty and cute and everything. My mother would make a turkey with stuffing and for dessert we’d have the traditional Banana Roseannadanna cake. ... Before we ate, we’d bow our heads. [to Jane, who merely stares at her in disgust] Bow your head, Jane. Come on, bow your little head. Come on. Jane, bow your head. Bow your head now. ... [Jane reluctantly bows her head] We’d bow our heads and we’d all sing.

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing
Please look down upon the Roseannadanna household
Bring peace to our fathers, good health to our mothers
And please don’t make me sweat like Dr. Joyce Brothers! ...

Roseanne Roseannadanna: Amen!

Jane Curtin: That’s the news. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Jake: No, I didn’t. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
