All Time Best Movie Lines

by bill - 2010-10-07 - ( culture / movies-tv )

I thought it'd be fun to come up with a list of the all-time best movie lines. Use the comments section below [comments closed] for your suggestions. Try and do it from memory. Don't worry about getting it exactly right. Here's what comes to my mind:

• "We'll always have Paris" - Rick in Casablanca
• "Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship" - Rick in Casablanca
• "We don't need no stinkin' badges!" - bandito in Treasure of Sierra Madre (actual quote is here: "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!")
• "A man's got to know his limitations" - Clint Eastwood in Magnum Force
• "Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" - Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry
• "I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto" - Dorothy in Wizard of Oz
• "What we have here ... is failure to communicate" - warden in Cool Hand Luke?
• "A hospital? What is it?", "It's a big building with patients in it, but that's not important right now!" - Airplane!
• "Say hello to my little friend!" - Tony Montana in Scarface
• "I'll have what she's having." - Rob Reiner's mom in When Harry Met Sally after "Sally's" fake orgasm
