AFI's 100 Years 100 Movie Quotes tonight at 8 CBS

Recommended Posts

So I don't know if anyone's interested but there's yet another 3hr AFI countdown special on tonight, this one dedicated exclusively to famous lines, quotes and catchphrases from films. Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel now aren't they? Still I'm a sucker for countdown specials and I've always enjoyed these AFI lists (and the inevitable bitching that results from them), so I'll be watching and anyone else watching tonight feel free to add any thoughts.

 

My guess for #1- "Here's looking at you kid"- Casablanca

Field of Dreams only at 39? Bullshit.

 

Everytime I see that part of the movie with "If you build it, he will come" it gives me goosebumps.

 

 

"Hey Dad, you wanna have a catch" has a bigger impact if you ask me.

I always thought the better line from that film was-

 

"Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa."

Nice to see some Casablanca love with 6 quotes taken. If they only had to pick one Star Wars quote they picked the correct one. "May the Force be with you" is the line that sums up the fascination with the series for that generation and every one since.

I got a kick with the "Midnight Cowboy" segment. I never knew that wasn't actually staged and Hoffman and Voight broke character and screamed at that idiot cabbie.

Not to mention James Earl Jones speech. "People will come."

 

What a great movie.

 

God yes.

 

The memories are so thick, people will have to brush them away from their faces. The constant, throughout the years, Ray, has been Baseball.

 

Shed a manly tear.

When I saw that they had a token youngish black guy as a guest, I knew Scarface would be on the list. At least he was allowed to comment on other movies as well.

Everyone knows the best quote from Scarface is-

 

"Where'd you get that scar, eating pussy?"

"Where'd you get that scar, eating pineapple?"

 

"How do joo get a scar like that eating pineapple?"

 

The TV edit of Scarface is simply hilarious.

They call me Mr. Tibbs? What the fuck is that?

 

I like the list in general. It of course just tends to more well-known lines.

 

Man, the Wizard of Oz is overrated.

Surprising that "Luke, I am your father" is not on this list. That's the first quote I set out looking for.

It's "No, I am your father." I'm surprised it's not there either.

 

I wish "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill" was on there.

:::Joey falls asleep, listening to rock music and looking at random hot poster-babe on wall:::

 

Joey wakes up. Music plays. Girl on poster is gone. She appears under (inside) his water bed. Freddy claws up from the bed, pulls him under. Blood appears. Joey dies.

 

Freddy: "Talk about a wet dream."

In that case, they'd probably just shorten it to "I am your father" due to the fact that everyone usually misquotes it.
