This isn't "The Quotes Most Used By the Mass Populace," but the greatest movie quotes of all time. Just because you hear more people quoting The Matrix more often doesn't change the fact that people still know quotes from Casablanca (even without knowing they're from Casablanca) 60 years after the movie's release.

And I quoth from the link,

"Great movie quotes become part of our cultural vocabulary."

And I quoth myself,

"who still quotes Casablanca."

Not I, not anyone I know. Such infers an inquiry to others if they still use 50+ year old movie quotes. And there are.

Such is mango.

Therefore: Get off my case. Thanks.

And I quoth myself, who's using Casablanca quoths nowadays?

Not I, not anyone I know.

1. This is the American Film Institute, not the Canadian. It doesn't matter if you or everybody you know doesn't quote Casablanca. You don't count

2. It doesn't say they stay a part of our cultural vocabulary. And besides, the simple fact that you have heard the quotes, recognize the quotes, and can say what movie they came from means that they are part of the cultural vocabulary.

You'd have to be ignorant to say it's not phasing out as generations go by, though.

Not everybody can say they recognize every single one of those quotes and how they were used. I can't. I haven't even seen Casablanca. Who's to say my kids will, for sure?

I know all the Casablance quotes without ever seeing the movie.

And I'm sure lots of folks do because it is still used in TV and movies. Not as often, but its around.

And what exactly would people quote from the Matrix?
Its like saying people quoting, "I'm Rick James, bitch" should be on the list.

Most things should stand the test of time, and not just because they are current pop culture fads.

And this was a list compiled by film experts not average moviegoers as I'm sure the list would be different. Well I know it would be difference cause I saw one compiled by movie goers.. maybe I should find one...
