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?

One of my favorite quote, passage really, from a flick is from “McLintock”. It’s where John Wayne is talking to Stephanie Powers, his daughter in the movie, about love and marriage. He talks about all the gold in the US treasury doesn’t equal the love between a man and a woman. It was perfectly written and perfectly delivered the way only John Wayne could. The entire passage is in the quotes section for McLintock on IMDB.com.

“There is one great thing that you men will all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World War II, you WON’T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, “Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in Louisiana.”

“Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?”

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.”

“Adrian!”

Sorry,

Any list that doesn’t have the FIRST quote from a movie is not a list. Doesn’t have to be first.
