That’s easy for me. I have this inane ability to remember all kinds of movie quotes, which I have, in turn, passed on to my two children. Right now, this Night at the Museum line is currently making the rounds in our household: “I’ll tell you what’s a matter of life or death, that beautiful lady over there. Hey baby, check out the gun show over here. Boom! Bam! Firepower!” Check out this YouTube video, which shows clips of 100 best movie lines in 200 seconds:
I think they hit it about 90 percent of the time, and they probably also had to pick short lines, in order to make the timeline. The Jaws line “We need a bigger boat” is one of my all-time favs, as is “Get away from her, you BITCH!” from Aliens. But seriously, it’s impossible to pick 100 BEST movie lines ever. There are just too many. I would have probably added:
“You’re a wizard, Harry.” — Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
“Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.” — All About Eve
“I’m walking here!” — Midnight Cowboy
“I want more life, f**ker.” — Blade Runner
“Mother? Mother?” — Bambi
I really could go on forever. What are some of your favorite lines?
