AFI's 100 Greatest Movie Quotes of All Time

[Professor S]

The AFI list is 100% crap for one reason... they left out the greatest movie quote of all time:

"I came here to do two things: Chew gum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubble gum."

Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live

Dyne, I'll concede your point if you can prove to me that people are going to remember any lines from The Matrix 60 years from now. Being as what nearly everybody remembers from the movie is a shot of Neo falling backwards while the camera revolves around him rather than any particular line, I find that somewhat unlikely. The most memorable line of the movie is, "Whoa..." for crying out loud. You think people are going to be quoting that to sound cool a few decades from now?

Besides, the sequels have sort of tainted The Matrix in the pop consciousness.

Anyhow, I'm glad to see that Inigo Montoya's immortal three lines were at least nominated. But I'm a little confused by the Pulp Fiction quotes. To be honest, I don't remember those. The lines I remember are, "Ever had your ass beaten to a soundtrack?" and "Zed's dead, baby." Hell, I remember Samuel L. Jackson describing his wallet better than those two quotes.

Ian Malcolm: "God creates dinosaur. God destroys dinosaur. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaur."
Ellie Settler: "Dinosaur eats man, woman inherits the earth"
JURASSIC PARK

Im proud to know that I recognize (and can visualize) a good 85% (approx) of those 400 quotes


but I cant believe this didnt make it into the top 100:


REVEREND SYKES (William Walker): "Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing."
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, Universal, 1962



that has to be one of the greatest scenes in film history
