In Reply to: Most quotable movie ever? posted by gwlvrns on May 19, 2004 at 20:56:32:
GWlvrns,There is so much memorable dialogue, but there are some phrases that are recognized even by the middle ground of movie enthusiast:
Gone With the Wind: "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn."
Casablanca: "Here's lookin' at you kid", "Round up the the usual suspects", "You played it for her, you can play it for me."
To Have and Have not: "You know how to whistle don't you Steve. You put your lips together and.. blow."
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: "Who are those guys?"
Love and Death: "I have an ulcer and my doctor says death is the worst thing for it."
Bridge on the River Kwai: "Madness!"
Apocolypse Now: "I love the smell of naplam in the morning. It smells like..victory." "Terminate- with extreme prejudice."
Citizen Kane: "Rosebud."
All about Eve: "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be bumpy night."
Ninotchka: "You're very talkative."
Shrek: (Looking at a castle in a lake of molten lava): "Sure it's big, but look at the location." (needing to kill the dragon) "It's on my to-do list."
"The Importance of Being Earnest: "To lose one parent is unfortunate, to lose both looks like carelessness."
Sunset Boulevard: "I'm ready for my closeup Mr. DeMille."I can't really pin down a single movie with the most or best known quotes- I guess in those terms it would have to be a film version of Hamlet!" But "Casablanca" does have quite a few memorable lines.
Also, it is more typical I think that the kind of heightened writing of American movies produces punchier quotes and this kind of catch phrase than foreign movies I can think of.
Cheers,
