As a proportion, most of the great quotes came from a time when fewer movies were being made. Is great dialogue incompatible with car chases and gratuitous violence? Can someone do the math? ( Movies made in any given year vs number of great quotes)

Huh? I thought that a lot more movies were made in the days before television. I know the actors were in a lot more movies when they were under contract to the studios. It wouldn't be surprising to see a major star in 3 or 4 movies in a year.

I was disappointed that Dr. Strangelove didn't get more quotes.

". I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. "

"Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human beings if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelings about nuclear combat."

"Ok. I'm gonna get your money for you. But if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what's going to happen to you?" "What?" "You're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company."
