(According to The Guinness Book of Film)
These are the ten most recognizable film quotes according to a 1998 survey of a group of "10 film critics and experts" who were asked by Guinness to draw up a list of the "ten most famous movie quotes ever." According to the publication's editors, "We were looking for quotations that were accessible and that had popular appeal on a global scale. We were also looking for wit and delivery. Delivery is important."
The films chosen ranged from 1930 to 1994, and six of the 10 were from the 1930s and '40s. Odeon Cinemas in the UK conducted a similar survey in 2003 to determine the 10 Best Movie Lines Ever, with some duplications!
Dr. No - 1962 "...Bond. James Bond."
Casablanca - 1942 "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."
I'm No Angel - 1933 "Well, it's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men."
The Terminator - 1984 "I'll be back."
Hell's Angels - 1930 "Would you be shocked if I put on something more comfortable?"
Forrest Gump - 1994 "My Mama always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.'"
Duck Soup - 1933 "I could dance with you till the cows come home...On second thought, I'd rather dance with the cows when you came home."
Gone with The Wind -1939 "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"
Taxi Driver - 1976 "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Well, who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who the f--k do you think you're talkin' to?"
Anna Christie - 1930 "Gimme a whiskey, ginger ale on the side. And don't be stingy, baby."
The most common scripted line in all Hollywood productions (it was used at least once 84% of the time) from the late 30s to the mid 70s, was:
"Let's get outta here!"
How Many Do You Know? :-)
