Looks like you just read a recent issue of entertainment weekly where the listed dozens upon dozens of movie quotes.
To call that list complete or even a taste is ridiculous. There's simply too many good movies and good lines out there. |

Maybe a discussion of what movie you think has the most quotables in it would be a good topic? _________________ "Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?." -Maximus

The Princess Bride has TONS of quotable quotes
In fact, there's a list of some of the best ones on IMDB
This is my favorite:
Vizzini: No more rhymes now, I mean it.
Fezzik: Anybody want a peanut? |

How about the Godfather? There are tons of great quotes...
"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse"
"Don't ask me about my business"
"You could act like a man!"
"Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes"
and so on... |

Cocles: Not to be rude, but I am a little insulted by that. No, I did not read any magazines. I made it up myself. That is why I put the little disclaimer at the begining where it said, "This is an original list, nothing official." These are just movie quotes that I am very familiar with, as I am sure most of you are too. I highly doubt that you will find any person on the street of any city in the USA that doesn't know what series the quote, "It's alive... ALIVE," came from (except maybe Paris Hilton, but that is besides the point). You are right about one thing though. There ARE too many movies out there with too many good quotes; however, I wanted this to be a top 20 list, not a top 1000, but I'll start to make one up if you really want me too.
Hurr78: I'm sure that there are great movie quotes from The Godfather movies. Still saving up for the trilogy though. Unfortanently, I am flat broke right now. Shouldn't be too long I hope! Can't wait to see 'em, ecspecially with the recent passing of Marlon Brando. |

You didn't say this was "your" top 20 list, you said this was "THE" top 20 list, which is a little presumptuous. |

I'm in agreement with Cocles about the subjectivity of any kind of "best of" lists...I hate those AFI "Top 100" lists that only seem designed as a marketing gimmick (though in the guise of having some kind of authority on what truly are the top 100 films/songs). And doesn't it seem like Rolling Stone has a "Top 100 Albums/Singles/etc." issue every other month?

#15 is from the original Dirty Harry (1971). #7 is from Sudden Impact (1983).

The Stradivarius? Or the world's tiniest?
Wait, wait...I think I figured it out |

Absolutely! And then they have the tenacity to print something like "the definitive top 100 films ever" or "100 albums you MUST own"!
Have these people never heard of subjectivity? |

Well Full Metal Jacket has some great ones. i do use them alot at work _________________ If you have it you don't need it. If you need it you don't have it. You need it to get it and you certainly need it to get more of it. Which means you don't have it to begin with people just know. |

Cocles: I beg to differ. In the topic I said, "The." But like I said in my previous post, I put a disclaimer at the begining of the post that said that this was an "original list, nothing official." (Note the words in bold)
Jeric: How about something like a movie quote game? Someone types any line from any movie, and the first person to respond correctly posts another quote.
filmgoerjuan: Thanks for clearing up the Dirty Harry films for me.
Legolas: I love "nobody puts baby in a corner." Great quote.
BTW, here are a few that I like, but weren't I just didn't put them on the list. Most of these are just funny ones.
If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer. --- Ace Ventura, Pet Detective.
It's got a great defense mechanism, you don't DARE kill it. --- Alien
I've got a gun... not here, but I've got one. --- Wrongfully Accused
John Hammond: When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked.
Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists. --- Jurassic Park
Ian Malcom: God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs, God creates man, man destroys God, man creates dinosaurs.
Dr. Ellie Sattler: Dinosaurs eat man, woman inherits the earth. --- Jurassic Park
May I ask, why you felt little Tiffany deserved to die? --- Men in Black
Girl: Paul, you're crazy!
Paul Stephens: You say that like it's a bad thing. --- The Manhattan Project
Open the pod doors Hal. --- 2001: A Space Odyssy
There's a bunch more I like, but there's just a taste. |

Actually, you said, "origianal" which completely confused me.
Get a better shovel. You're not digging yourself out very well. |
