So what do you guys think? Any that needed to be on the list that aren't?

"Call me Snake", "Escape from New York", 1981

Anyways, a really odd list. I knew some of the quotes already, but didn't know where they come from. And I am getting sick of all this fake Hollywood-nostalgia. There's plenty of other good lines in newer movies.

of course bond had to make it, the greatest movie franchaise :D

Though some felt a little out of order, it was a pretty good list.

But no "Who ya gonna call"? :(

(I'm aware it was part of the theme song and none of the characters actually said it until the sequel but C'MON!) ;)

yeah, and they left out "I am your father" from The Empire Strikes Back....oh well

I'm glad that Dirty Harry quote made it into the list.

true romance -

clarence worley - "i always said, if i had to **** a guy...i mean had to, if my life depended on it...Id **** Elvis."

clifford worley - "youre sicillian huh?"
coccotti - "yeah, sicillian."
clifford worley - "ya know, i read a lot. especially about thing, about history.
i find that **** facinating. heres a fact i dont know wether you know or not.
sicillians were spawned by *******."
coccotti - "come again?"
clifford worley - "its a fact. yeah, you see, uh, sicillians have black blood pumpin trough their hearts. hey, no,if,eh,if, you dont believe me uh, you can look it up. hundreds and hundreds of years ago, uh you see, uh the moors conquered sicily. and the moors are *******."
coccotti - "yes...."
clifford worley - "so you see, way back then, uh sicilians were like, uh wops from northern italy. ah, they all had blonde hair and blue eyes, but, uh, well, then the moors moved in there, and, uh, well they changed the whole country. they did so much ****ing with sicilian woman, huh? that they changed the whole bloodline forever. thats why blonde hair and blue eyes became black hair and dark skin you know, its absolutely amazing to me to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, that, huh, that sicilians still carry that ****** gene.....now this"
clifford worley - "no, im , no , im quoting.....history. its written. its a fact, its written."
coccotti - "i love this guy"
clifford worley - "your ancestors are *******. uh-huh.
hey yeah, and, and your great great great great grandmother ****ed a ******, and she had a half ****** kid. now if thats a fact, tell me, am i lying?
couse you, youre part eggplant."

This should be on there:

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

High Fidelity.

"I am Bill S. Preston, esquire!"

"And I'm Ted 'Theodore' Logan!"

"Together we're...WYLD STALLYNS!!!"

SOYLENT GREEN 2

"Soylent Green is STILL People!!!!!"

Made me think "We can't stop here! This is Bat Country!" from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

List also needs some Back to the Future quotes. "88 miles an hour!", "ONE-POINT-TWENTY-ONE JIGGA WATTS!" or maybe some "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." That movie was SO quotable.

Darth Never really said... "Luke, I AM YOUR FATHER!" and thats the line everyone repeats.

"He told me enough, He told me You Killed him!"

"No, I am your father."

So i can understand that line not being there, but still Sixth sense is so damned high on the list! Frankly My Dear, [Dubbed]I Love you, Lets Remarry![/dubbed]

Or at least "Hey, McFly... I thought I told you never to come in here."

The Goodfellas

Henry Hill - "As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster"



Tommy De Vito - "but im funny how? funny like a clown? i amuse you? i make you laugh, im here to ****ing amuse you? what is so funny about me? what the **** is so funny about me? tell me. tell me whats funny?"

Henry Hill - "get the **** outta, here tommy."

Tommy De Vito - "ha ha, i almost had you."

Jimmy Conway - "im not mad, im proud of you. you took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut."

Billy Batts - "go home and get your ****ing shine box."

Tommy De Vito - "just dont go busting my balls, billy, okay?"

Billy Batts - "hey, tommy, if i was gonna break your balls, id tell you to go home and get your shine box."

Billy Batts - "now this kid, this kid was great. they, they used to call him spitshine tommy."

Tommy De Vito - "no more shines billy."

Billy Batts - "what?"

Billy Batts - "ah."

Tommy De Vito - "i dont shine your shoes anymore."

Billy Batts - "relax would ya, whats going into you? i havent seen you in a long ****ing time, and im breaking your balls a little bit, im only kidding with ya."

Tommy De Vito - "well sometimes you dont sound like your kidding, you know theres a lot of people here...."

Billy Batts - "im only kidding with ya."

Tommy De Vito - "its ok."

Billy Batts - "i dont mean to offend you."

Tommy De Vito - "im sorry."

Billy Batts - "im sorry too."

Tommy De Vito - "its okay."

Billy Batts - "salud."

Billy Batts - "now go home and get your ****ing shine box."

Tommy De Vito - "MOTHER*****."

Billy Batts - "ill **** him in the ass,i ****ed kids like that in the can in the ass,
****ing trying to break up my party."

oh! I LOVE Goodfellas! You're right there should have been SOMETHING from that movie!!!!

another great mob movie with robert de niro, joe pesci and martin scorcese as director is casino its one of the most violent but yet great mob movies ever made. but the critics always claimed it is goodfellas in light version.

I didn't get to see Casino....but sounds like I would like it :)

'You should've seen the other guy' "Fargo"

casino is one of the most underrated mob movies of all time, but whatever critics said about it, its a violent masterpiece of the fall and rise of a mobster.
looking forward to the new remastered dvd that coming out this summer.
