AFI's Top 100 Movie Quotes

The American Film Institute's Top 100 Movie Quotes special, hosted by Pierce Brosnan, showcased the most memorable quotes which had a cultural impact and ensured a film’s legacy, with “frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn” taking #1 and Titanic’s “I’m the King of the world!” (which they *actually* described as “a small goodybag the audience took home with them),” at #100. We were saddened that Dirty Dancing's “nobody puts baby in the corner” came in at a low #98 and somewhat surprised by the few one-word quotes: Citizen Kane's "rosebud" at #17 and The Graduate's "plastics" at #42. And was anyone else baffled by how Star Wars only had one quote, but both Jerry Maguire and James Bond had two? What about "my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father - prepare to die?"

Though last night's 3-hour special grew rather tiresome somewhere around Apollo 13, it did boast some interesting movie trivia, such as how “play it again, Sam” is etched into the American psyche even though the actual quote from Casablanca is “play it once, Sam. For old times' sake” and that Pres. Roosevelt found the last lines from Mrs. Miniver (a Gothamist favorite) so powerful, he had them printed on millions of leaflets and dropped over Nazi-occupied Europe. See below for the whole list:
