I have a bet going with a friend, so I figured I'd post a poll here. I'm particularly interested in younger people's responses (teens, early 20s, etc) but everyone is welcome to weigh in.
What do you think is the most famous movie line of all time, in your personal estimation?

Posted: 3/20/09 at 10:09pmAFI did a list. I believe their #1 was "Frankly, I just don't give a damn"
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 3/20/09 at 10:12pmI was going to say the same. ^
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Didn't AFI do something like this? I think Some Like It Hot's
"Nobody's perfect." was #1. But My personal fav line has always been. Casablanca's "Round up the usual suspects." Can you get anymore blase` cynical and politically astute?

Posted: 3/20/09 at 10:14pmYup, I know what AFI says, but I'm asking for your personal opinion about the most FAMOUS movie line, not the "best." :)

Posted: 3/20/09 at 11:30pmThen there's the very first spoken line - "You aint heard nothin' yet!"
#11re: Most famous movie line of all time?
Posted: 3/20/09 at 11:59pm"Here's looking at you kid"-Casablanca came to mind when I first read the title. I knew that line before I'd even seen the movie.
I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

"Louis this looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship" -- Humphrey Bogart as Rick -- "Casablanca"
"We'll always have Paris" -- Humphrey Bogart as Rick -- "Casablanca"
I know it's not a line but the song "As Time Goes By" -- Casablanca
"I could a been a contenda" -- Marlon Brando as Terry -- "On The Waterfront"
"I guess this is just another lost cause, Mr. Paine. All you people don't know about lost causes. Mr. Paine does. He said once they were the only causes worth fighting for. And he fought for them once, for the only reason any man ever fights for them; because of just one plain simple rule: 'Love thy neighbor.'... And you know that you fight for the lost causes harder than for any other. Yes, you even die for them. "
-- James Stewert as Smith -- "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"
<<-- Help save Terminator: SCC
"The gay one?" -- Marissa Jaret Winokur on the Jonas Brothers.

I would think it's Rhett's dismissal of Scarlett.
I, however, gravitate towards "There's no place like home."

Snafu, That is the first line that came to my mind also.
Just a question Shbrt, why are you looking for responses from younger people in particular?

Because no one cares what anyone has to say once they hit 30.

Maybe because Shbrt hasn't seen any movies made before 1985, and thinks most people in their teens and early 20s haven't either.
None of that "old" stuff here. You know ... those "classics."

He probably wants 20 somethings to see what those with less experience believe to be the most famous line. I suppose if you have less experience, but still know a popular line, it says something about the line. I'm 23, and have never seen GWTW or Casablanca, but I understand that they contain some of the most famous movie lines in History.
Personally, I would say "There's no place like home"
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
