I thought they were running out of ideas for AFI lists but I guess not. I actually like it. I love those programs and I'm realy going to enjoy this one. Those five quotes listed are some of the most universally known quotes ever. People don't even know what movie they come from half the time.
I'll bet "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" will be on there. I don't see how they'll find quotes from Ninotchka and Goodbye, Mr. Chips though. I love the first movie and liked the second but they're not very quotable films. I think there should be some Austin Powers 2 quotes in there. That movie is quoted SOOOO much in my family and with my friends. Too bad they can't put any silent movies on the list. I think the silents have been badly presented in the AFi list. __________________

Alarmingly enough "Why is the rum gone?" (POTC),
"I am Jack's smirking revenge" (Fight Club), "On my signal, unleash hell" (Gladiator), "What's in the box?" (SEVEN), "So, what are we doing for New Year's?" (GO), "I can't believe it... They *****ing forgot my birthday." (Sixteen Candles), "This, this is not real. You know what this is? It's St. Elmo's Fire." (St. Elmo's Fire), "You want me to stop, Pearl?" (A walk on the moon), "Why are you all wearing green?" (I capture the castle) yeah, foreign movie I know, "See anything you like?" (Face/Off), "The things I'm gonna do for my country..." (XxX), "What do you mean everybody?" "E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y!" (The Professional), "Who do you think you are? Superman?" (Spider-Man), I'll apologize for anything but today. Today I give a *****! (Life as a house), Today we celebrate our Independence day! (Independence Day), and "What's more American than that?" (CLUE) didn't make AFI's top 100 quotes. I taped the show, it was very cool. I wasn't surprised by the #1 choice of course. Quote:
How cool that "nobody puts Baby in a corner" made it! I would've swapped #2 and #3. Anyway, that list is very nice and I though there are a lot of quotes from movies I haven't seen, I don't have major disagreements. __________________

One of my favorites is..
46. "Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars," "Now, Voyager," 1942. I also like the little lighting the two cigarettes thing that goes with it. But my absolute favorite line, not on the list, is from a Mae West film.. Hat check girl "Goodness! Diamonds!" Mae Wests character "Goodness had nothing to do with it honey." And I almost forgot, I adore "Fire! Fire! Cat?" from Pleasantville but as I have just read the first post, umm please ignore the last two __________________

I liked this list, I think they did a great job of picking them actually. I didn't know if some lesser known movies would be shafted, but they weren't they did a pretty good job of staying fair to all contestants.

I would agree that they did a good job incorporating all the quotes that have been around forever, and new ones like "My, precious".
