But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin’. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians.

These are great. There are so many good lines that I am sure we overlooked but each of these are definitely memorable.
I completely forgot: “It’s too early in the day for killing Princes.”
One of my favorites!
Or absolutely “It’s Not a TUmor” from Kindergarten Cop. I still quote that movie far too much for it to be healthy.
I love this list. While it’s obvious you have an affinity for several movies (Fight Club, Adam Sandler’s best), this is still a pretty amazing list with some classics peppered among fan fav-type classics.
Thank you very much Jess. I try to keep a balance between personal, classics, and what people actually like. I don’t want to be AFI here. Some of what people actually adore are dick and fart jokes, and some the epic romances like Gone With The Wind or Casablanca. I happen to enjoy both.
Awesome list. The only single line quote I can think of off the top of my head that would sneak in are from Cool Hand Luke: Either the failure to communicate or natural born world shaker lines
.
Granted I’d probably never think to include Clueless ha, but it was a film that represented an era far too well…
Thanks Univarn!
I went on my Paul Newman tangent with The Sting and Butch Cassidy and then never pursued further. Cool Hand Luke is a fantastic movie with some epic lines.
Well I’m glad Clueless gave you a chuckle. I know I have some pretty oddball additions in here, but I had to include some of my personal taste or it would just be another boring list.
I can name about fifty lines from Animal House….first one off the top of my head is….”I’m a zit!!” and from My Cousin Vinnie….”what’s a yute?” Still a fabulous list Heather!! Great job!!!
Ahhhhhhh, I think the scene from My Cousin Vinny where Marisa Tomei goes on the tangent about the deer is one of the best ever too!
Thanks Me!
Heather, if I haven’t said this lately, you rock.
I LOVE that you created such a unique and diverse list, not just some rehashing of AFI’s top picks. Three cheers for your inclusion of that monologue from “Clueless” — it’s always been one of my favorites.
I would include as well virtually any line from “Heathers” — the only teen comedy anyone needs to watch aside from John Hughes’ work — and Peter Gibbons’ iconic line from “Office Space”: “It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s that I just don’t care.”
Other choices: “I’m okay with being unimpressive; I sleep better” (“Garden State”), “Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’” (“Shawshank Redemption”), and “We’ve got armadillos in our trousers. It’s really quite frightening” (“This Is Spinal Tap”).
You forgot:
“you got a purty mouth”-deliverance
“The names Bond…James Bond” all Bond movies
“No one puts Baby in the corner” Dirty Dancing
“Ferris Bueller youre my hero”
“Large Marge sent me” Pee-wees big adventure
“Shhh…for some moments in life there are no words” Willy Wonka
“People on ludes should not drive” Fast Times at Ridgemont High
I could go on and on, but thats the thing about only having 100, it sounds like a big list, and must take forever to compile, but with ALL the possabilities out there you did a great job Heather!!
Thank you Karl!
Your additions RULE.
Since I’ve finished I’ve kicked myself plenty for those that I’ve missed. It’s a very specific thing to look into though.
The other day I thought Tom Cruise died because there seemed to be a day dedicated to nothing but his movies, I passed on Days of Thunder and opted for Mission Impossible 3 instead, but shortly after that was finished I again found myself watching Top Gun and that got me thinking of your list again and some more missing quotes. Most noteworthy: “Talk to me Goose” “Take me home now or lose me forever” and of course “Negative ghost-rider the pattern is full”
You’ll be flying a plane full of rubber dog shit out of hong kong!
Maverick? Did your parents hate you or something?
That’s right! Ice… man. I am dangerous.
You can be my wingman any time.
Love Top Gun for all it’s utter cheese. I saw that one in the theatre.
Kicking off 2010′s mma events is the brilliant UFC 108. It’s bound going to be a great event with the kickoff being Evans vs Silva going head to head. You can watch ufc 108 free for FREE in full HD without paying that grotty $55.95 PPV cost.
Forgot about this one from Heathers:
“I was impressed to see that she made proper use of the word ‘myriad’ in her suicide note.”
aapki iss list main bahut hi kam prayas kirya gaya hain
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s wonderful to be aware that someone else also mentioned that as I had trouble finding the exact same info elsewhere. This was the first spot that told me the answer. Thanks.

One that should be in is from The Dark Knight:
“The night is darkest just before the dawn.” (Harvey Dent)

Wyatt Earp to Ike Clanton: “You die first, get it? Your friends might get me in a rush, but not before I make your head into a canoe, you understand me?”
Doc Holliday: “I’m your huckleberry…”
Johnny Tyler: “I swear, it’s like I’m playin’ cards with my brother’s kids or somethin’. You nerve-wrackin’ sons-a-bitches.”
Doc Holliday: [after killing Johnny Ringo] It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear.
And one of my favorite exchanges…
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Why you doin’ this, Doc?
Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: …I don’t.
This movie is a gold mine.
