2008AFI's 10 Top 10

Part of The American Film Institute (AFI 100 Years... series), AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes is a list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema. The American Film Institute revealed the list on June 21, 2005, in a three-hour television program on CBS. The program was hosted by actor Pierce Brosnan and had commentary from many Hollywood actors and filmmakers. A jury consisting of 1,500 film artists, critics, and historians selected "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," spoken by Clark Gable as Rhett Butler in the 1939 American Civil War epic Gone with the Wind as the most memorable American movie quotation of all time.

Criteria

edit

Jurors were asked to consider the following criteria in making their selections:

  • Movie Quotation: A statement, phrase or brief exchange of dialogue spoken in an American film.[1] Lyrics from songs are not eligible.
  • Cultural Impact: Movie quotations that viewers use in their own lives and situations; circulating through popular culture, they become part of the national lexicon.
  • Legacy: Movie quotations that viewers use to evoke the memory of a treasured film, thus ensuring and enlivening its historical legacy.

Trivia

edit

With six movie quotes featured, Casablanca is by far the most represented film on this list. The next two most represented films are Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, with three featured quotes each. Sunset Boulevard, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Graduate and Jerry Maguire each have two featured quotes.

Rick Blaine (Casablanca) is the character with the most quotes (four); Dorothy Gale (The Wizard of Oz), Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry and Sudden Impact), James Bond (Dr. No and Goldfinger), Norma Desmond (Sunset Boulevard), Scarlett O'Hara (Gone with the Wind) and The Terminator (The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day) have two quotes each.

With five, Humphrey Bogart is the actor with the most quotes; Al Pacino, Bette Davis, Marlon Brando, Tom Hanks, and Vivien Leigh all have three; while Jack Nicholson, Judy Garland, Gloria Swanson, Dustin Hoffman, Clint Eastwood, Charlton Heston, James Cagney, and Arnold Schwarzenegger have two each. Sixty-three of the other sixty-four actors appear once each. Sean Connery also has two entries, but his two quotes were spoken by five other actors[9] as well as him.

The line, "My precious." from the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, is the only quote that comes from a movie released in the 21st century (and 3rd millennium) and the only quote by a CGI character.

Additionally, only quotations from feature-length American films released before January 1, 2004, were considered. AFI defines a feature-length film as a motion picture of narrative format that is typically over 60 minutes in length.

  6. ^ a b Often paraphrased as "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy ride"
  7. ^ a b Paul Newman repeats the line later in the film, mocking the prison warden, though he says "a failure", rather than simply "failure." Also heard quoted in this form.

  11. ^ According to The Annotated Wizard of Oz, "[L. Frank] Baum [who quotes the phrase in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz] appears to be playing with the famous sentiment of John Howard Payne's 1823 song, 'Home, Sweet Home' [the melody of which, by Sir Henry Bishop, is played over several repetitions of the line]: 'Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.' ... Baum's irony was apparently lost on the makers of the famous movie. Arthur Freed, assistant to the producer Mervyn LeRoy, was responsible for making 'There's No Place Like Home' the theme of the 1939 MGM picture....He was adamant that Dorothy repeat 'There's No Place Like Home' when she clicks her heels together three times.'" Michael Patrick Hearn (Ed.), The Annotated Wizard of Oz, p. 77, n. 1.
  12. ^ Mae West paraphrased the line in her next film I'm No Angel as "Come up and see me sometime". Hence the line in She Done Him Wrong is often misquoted as "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?"

  17. ^ An actual quotation from Lou Gehrig's retirement speech.
  18. ^ a b Often misquoted as "If you build it, they will come."
  19. ^ The line is based on an actual message from Apollo 13. Astronaut Swigert said "Houston, we've had a problem here," then Lovell repeated "Houston, we've had a problem".
  20. ^ a b Often misquoted as "…"Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" or "…"Are you feeling lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"
  21. ^ a b Often misquoted as "How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know." The time frame also varies ("yesterday," "once," etc.).
  22. ^ The scene from the film in which this line appears is also excerpted in the movie's trailer, but in the trailer the sequence is edited so that Gekko's line occurs as simply "Greed is good."

  23. ^ a b This maxim is attributed to several military strategists, notably Sun-tzu, Chinese general.
  24. ^ Often misquoted as "Well, here's another fine mess you've gotten me into!"

  26. ^ Often misquoted as "Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?"

  32. ^ Frequently heard as "...Twas beauty killed the beast"
  33. ^ This quotation is sometimes attributed to Ronald Reagan portraying George Gipp. Reagan's line—from earlier in the film—is "Ask 'em to go in there with all they've got, win just one for the Gipper."

  35. ^ a b c Appeared in multiple other films.
