The American Film Institute (AFI) today announced that AFI's 100 Years . . . 100 Movie Quotes will be the theme for AFI's eighth annual celebration of 100 years of American movies. AFI'S 100 Years . . . 100 Movie Quotes: America's Greatest Quips, Comebacks and Catchphrases will count down America's 100 greatest lines of dialogue spoken in the movies, as chosen by experts of the motion picture community, in a three-hour television event on the CBS Television Network in June 2005.
There's another exchange in that movie I liked, but I don't remember it all. A girl says something to Nicholson like: "Aren't you the man from those TV commercials? But I thought you was bald." Nicholson says something like: "Yeah, ya see, I think it wouldn't be honest to wear a toupee."
Isn't there a Clink Eastwood line where he brandishes a pistol and says: "Looky what I got."
"Yes. We're going to have to go straight to...LUDICROUS SPEED!"
Another one of my favs from that movie is in the early scenes when the INS agent is asking Tony how he got his scar. It's a bit risque, but I'm sure you know which one I mean.
"Where'd you get that scar tough guy ..."
"Don't you get lonely here all by yourself, J.S.?"
No, I make friends. (pointing to small, funny-looking androids) These are my friends, I made them."
"Time...to die..."
Debbi: Duke, let's go do some crimes.
Duke: Yeah! Let's go get sushi and not pay.
This is for the season... (anyone else a Marx Brothers fan?)
Fiorello: Hey, wait, wait. What does this say here? This thing here.
Driftwood: Oh, that? Oh, that's the usual clause. That's in every contract. That just says uh, it says uh, "If any of the parties participating in this contract is shown not to be in their right mind, the entire agreement is automatically nullified."
Fiorello: Well, I dunno.
Driftwood: It's all right, that's, that's in every contract. That's, that's what they call a 'sanity clause.'
Fiorello: Ha, Ha, Ha. Ha. Ha. You can't fool me. There ain't no Sanity Clause!
Bob Porter: Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately.
Peter Gibbons: I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob!
"Jules, if you give that f**in' nimrod fifteen hundred dollars, I'm gonna shoot him on general principle."
Zed's dead, baby.
I liked it!
Then again, not too many people have actually seen "Birth of a Nation."
I can't get over how racist it is. What other movie has the KKK as the heroes?
"Sometimes ya just gotta say 'What the f**k'"
"Where do we get such men?"
"I give you these fifteen commandme...***CRASH***!...ten...ten commandments!"
"While I was trying to figure why he said what he said, Nicky just hit him!"
"That's a 20 footer!" "25...and 3 tons of it!"
You're dating a woman who's too young if you ask them what they were doing when Kennedy was shot, and they say "Omigod, Teddy Kennedy was shot??!!"
"Life is like a box a choklits..."
"What, this old thing? Why, I only wear this when I don't care what I look like!"
"You made a time machine...out of a DeLorean?!"
"Great story dad...ya think mom'll buy ?"
"I see you have the ring. And your schwartz is as big as mine."
Navin Johnson hitch hiking -
"How far are you going?"
"Just to the end of that fence."
"Great, thanks a lot!"
"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life."
- to John Belushi
"Achmed, this is Jugdesh. Jugdesh, Achmed."

"Cinderella boy, comin' out a nowhere, oooh he got all a that one..!" - Caddyshack
"They've been doing this for eons in France" - Clark Griswold at the Moulin Rouge

"Yes, it is."
"Surely you must be joking."
"I'm not joking and stop calling me Shirley" - Airplane
"I guess I chose the wrong week to stop smoking crack" - Airplane
"Do you speak jive?" - Airplane
That's one of only two movies to actually make me feel nauseous (the other being Pink Flamingoes).
Classics:
Sir Laurence Olivier to Dustin Hoffman in "Marathon Man":
"Is it safe?"
Alan Arkin in "Wait Until Dark":
"I'm Harry Roat, Jr. From Scarsdale."
Clint Eastwood in "Dirty Harry"
"I know what you're thinkin', punk. Did he fire six shots? Or only five? Well, in all the confusion, I kinda lost count myself. But, seeing that this is a .44 Magnum and will blow your head clean off. You gotta be askin yourself; "Do I feel lucky?".... Well, do you, punk?"
Jack.
I'll bet the top quotes turn out to be:
1. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn
2. Here's lookin' at you, Kid.
"Game over man!" - Bill Paxton Aliens (Alien II)
