    Default Another AFI Debate Starter

    The American Film Institute is in the process of polling about 1500 folks in the film industry to get their votes on the greatest movie quotes of all time. You can read the story here .

    So, what movie lines would you nominate if you were among those polled (other than the ones mentioned in the news story)? I'll throw out a few that immediately come to mind:

    "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse." (The Godfather)

    "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like . . . victory . . . ." (Apocolypse Now)

    "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way." (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?)

    "I'm walkin' here!" (Midnight Cowboy)

    "Here's Johnny!" (The Shining)
    Before you criticize anyone, walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticize him, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have his shoes.

    Five that leap to mind:

    "How did a dame like you get to be a dame like you." Cary Grant to Eva Marie Saint in "North by Northwest"

    "Never tell me the odds." Harrison Ford in some space movie.

    "Snakes? I hate snakes." Harrison Ford in some archeology movie.

    "My father hung me on a hook once. Once!" Joe Piscopo in "Johnny Dangerously"

    "If you want me, just whistle. You do know how to whistle, don't you Steve?" Lauren Bacall to Humphrey Bogard in some ship movie.

    Right! I saw that film (both of them) and don't even remember that line. They stole it anywho from here:

    "Think ya used a little too much dynamite there Butch?" -- The Sundance Kid, from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid."

    If your referring to my post, i dont see how they stole it as the lines arent THAT similar, same general concept but different way in saying it....atleast in my opinion.
