AFI has just released their latest top 100 list of films. This time the subject is top 100 movie quotes. While I was disapponted that lines like “Shampoo is better!” and “Did you eat alot of paint chips as a kid?” and “And the flowers are still standing!” were tragically overlooked there were some great cinematic gems on the list. One of my personal favorites from 1964’s Dr. Strangelove was no. 64:
“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”
Check out the full list from Yahoo! News.
Yeah, I haven’t posted my opinion of the list, but I was disappointed and pleasantly surprised at the same time. I’m glad Marlon Brando was #2 and #3, but his Godfather quote deserved #1. Not because of my unbelievable bias for Marlon Brando or “The Godfather”…. who am I kidding: that’s why. Anyway, I just wanted to share my opinion with one of the few people who watched it.
P.S. Yeah, Dr. Strangelove deserved a higher place. One of the most clever scripts written.
Thanks Jordon.
What else should have made the list?
