AFI’s 100 Years, 100 Quotes, some bizarre placements, and baffling omissions.
If you are like us, and you probably are a bit more like us than you would wish to admit, movie quotes are a big part of your life. We use them constantly as a part of our regular discourse.
So this list brings up an interesting question. How do you quantify a quote? The AFI tries to do this, boy do they try.
But again, with criteria like this...
- Movie Quotation: A statement, phrase or brief exchange of dialogue spoken in an American film. Lyrics from songs are not eligible.
- Cultural Impact: Movie quotations that viewers use in their own lives and situations; circulating through popular culture, they become part of the national lexicon.
- Legacy: Movie quotations that viewers use to evoke the memory of a treasured film, thus ensuring and enlivening its historical legacy.
How can you go wrong? Well, we're here to show you how.
So sit back and enjoy yourself, but be prepared, this show might take more than one sitting.

Great show. One great one from Pulp Fiction I use myself is “Are you talking to me on a cellular phone? Don’t come here! I’m hanging up the phone! Prank caller! Prank caller!”. As for Ghostbusters, my favorite line is when Stanz takes out the chandelier at the hotel “That’s my fault. I did that. That’s my fault.”. & finally the one I use most from the Cohen brothers has to be “They’re a bunch of fuckin ameteurs!”
