Oh...Here is something interesting..how many of the movies can you name?

The Ten Most Famous Movie Quotes
How Many Do You Know?
(According to The Guinness Book of Film)


Introduction: These are the ten most recognizable film quotes according to a 1998 survey of a group of "10 film critics and experts" who were asked by Guinness to draw up a list of the "ten most famous movie quotes ever." According to the publication's editors, "We were looking for quotations that were accessible and that had popular appeal on a global scale. We were also looking for wit and delivery. Delivery is important."

The films chosen ranged from 1930 to 1994, and six of the 10 were from the 1930s and '40s. If you're interested, Odeon Cinemas in the UK conducted a similar survey in 2003 to determine the 10 Best Movie Lines Ever, with some duplications! See also Greatest Film Mis-Quotations, the 20 Best Film Speeches in cinematic history, and the Greatest Last Film Lines and Quotes.
