Hi,

Personally I think "MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU" should have been in the top 5.








Then again I am a little prejudiced in regards to Star Wars

Kevin

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

WHAT?... "Make it so" (Star Trek) it's not in the list???, but "I'm the king of the world IS...

What a sad world we live in......

[HatchetMan]

I've been quoting this one since I was 10

94. "I feel the need — the need for speed!", "Top Gun," 1986.

[BJ_M]

"beam me up Scotty" Star Trek
"what's up doc?" Bugs Bunny


you are right -- they are better than many of the ones they list there ...

[SquirrelDip]

I'm 50/50 on the "beam me up" (I think "Make it so" is a better line) - but 100% with you on the "What's up doc?"

[Faustus]

some of you are forgetting that some of these quotes while used in movies came from TV. I think they are looking at movies here.

Heh this morning O&A did the top 15. They got to number 1 then we "ehhhh" and ended the segment. I love how that pisses people off.

Samuel Jacksons quote about the car heater cracked me up when I heard it.

[HatchetMan]

"You've got the body and I've got the brains."
Freddy Krueger, Nightmare on Elm St. 2
(It's much better if you say it in that "Freddy" voice)

[ricardouk]

as scifi fan i would add "Luke, i am your father" James Earl Jones voice still haunts me today

[smearbrick1]

[SquirrelDip]

Blazing Saddles, Bart (Cleavon Little): “Where all the white women at?”

The Blues Brothers, Elwood (Dan Aykroyd): "We're on a mission from God."

Pulp Fiction, Jules (Samuel L. Jackson): "Whoa... whoa... whoa... stop right there. Eatin' a bitch out, and givin' a bitch a foot massage ain't even the same fuckin' thing."

More great lines in that one movie than any other

" I may be bad...but I feel gooood."

"Klaatu verrata n... Necktie... Nickel... It's an "N" word, it's definitely an "N" word!"

Ash: "Lady, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store."
Possessed woman: "Who the hell are you?"
Ash: "Name's Ash. [cocks shotgun] Housewares."


..and one of my all time favorites, when Ash is fighting
Evil Ash on the castle wall...

Evil Ash: "You're going down!
Ash: "I'm going up"

Don't forget that it's probably arty-farty people and/or industry types like BJ_M that vote on these things, so no wonder there's a few stinkers in there ...

Worse than that. According to them (AFI), 1500 "creative professionals"
were asked. That means 1500 Amercian subscribers to their crapola.

Another meaningless US centric poll good only for comment. Not to
bash our US friends but they do tend to hold Tiddlywink competitions
in their back yard and refer to them as "world" championships.

[BJ_M]

yea - more than a few on that list that are stinkers ... i wouldn't have voted for
