"AFI Quotables

Clark Gable's classic parting shot to Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind - "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" - was named the best movie quote of all time by the American Film Institute. The No. 2 and No. 3 spots were filled by Marlon Brando's lines "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse," from The Godfather, and "I coulda been a contender," from On the Waterfront. Rounding out the Top Five were Judy Garland's "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore," from The Wizard of Oz, and Humphrey Bogart's "Here's looking at you, kid," spoken to Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca. And in a shocking snub, Jennifer Lopez's "Gobble, gobble" quip from Gigli fell outside the Top 100, placing 2,103,234,987th. (Michael Ausiello - TV Guide Online)"

My boyfriend and I watched this last night and LOVED it. We were surprised at how many of the quotes we recognized!

I was disapointed that "Luke, I am your father." didn't make the list. I thought for sure that was going to be on there. At least one quote from Star Wars made it.

Now that I think about it, I thought that "It's a Wonderful Life" had made the list. That is disapointing also.

I thought they did a great job on compiling the list however. Definitely a great mix of old and new movies.

I was upset that nothing from "It's A Wonderful Life" made it.

Also, "Luke, I am your father", is not the actual quote. I can't remember what it is, I'll have to watch the movie, but that's not it.

I thought the quote from Yoda should have made it "There is only do or not do, there is no try". or another from Casablanca which I thought should have made it. I don't remeber the exact quote but it's along the lines of "if you don't get on that plane, you're gonna regret it. maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life."

The quote is "I'm your father." I looked it up later. As for the Yoda quote, it is "Do or Do not. There is no try." ( i know that one because I read the list. )

Hahaha, yeah I just got to that quote. I'm reading the list myself, but I'm not done yet. there are some great quotes on list. I was saying last night that "they call it a royale with cheese" should have made the list. It made the top 400 thought.

I always remembered it as:

LUKE: (Yelling) My father's dead!
VADAR: No, Luke. I am your father.

Close. He never says "Luke". He just says "I am your father".

I don't know why we all think he says "Luke, I am your father, but I remember it the same way too. I had to go back an watch the movie to hear him say it.

Oh, well, still not even the best line in the series:

LEIA: I love you.
HAN: I know.

Hahaha. I love Han. Harrison Ford is so sexy.

Some of these quotes seem random and in the wrong order.

I always love the AFI specials. The last one with the 100 greatest movies like back in the fall was great too!
