baumer Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) This is something I have been wanting to do for quite a while. A few years ago at Mojo, we spent about 3 months compiling the best movie lines of all time. This is a very big under taking as there are literally thousands of movies to choose from. To pick 100 is an important task and it is also a very monumental one. So here is what we have come up with. I have reached out to Shawn and asked him to create a sub forum that only the staff (of course) and the panel will have access to. This is where all the behind the scenes stuff will be discussed. This is where the panel will store the information, dissect the information and ultimately determine what the 100 best movie lines are of all time. To make sure this is fair, we have decided that we are going to have 9-15 (preferably 15) panel members. There will be 3-5 members under the age of 26, 3-5 between the age of 26-34 and 3-5 over the age of 35. There will be more details in the coming days but for now, the ones that have accepted are: Under 26: Quota filled (yes there are 6 but that is fine) Gopher (under 26) Jake gittes (under 26) mahnamanha (under 26) Coolio (under 26) Numbers (under 26) riczhang (under 26) 26-35 Shawnmr (26-35) stingray (26-35) chasmmi (26-35) blankments (26-35) Over 35 baumer (over 35) 75Live (over 35) Tele (over 35) BKB Over 35) I have sent out invitations to BKB (over the age of 35) and AA (over the age of 35) and Gopher (under 26). If you would like to be part of the panel, the only thing I caution you with is that you will be needed on a consistent basis. That doesn't mean every day but it does mean that eventually there will be deadlines and we need those deadlines to be met. So if you want to volunteer for choosing the best 100 movie lines of all time, please sign up here. We need one more over the age of 35 but if you are over the age of 35 please still respond and if AA or BKB does not want to do it, you are in. We need at least 4 under the age of 26 and we need 3 more between the age of 26-35. When volunteering, please let us know your age and please be honest with us and yourself. Make sure you feel you know enough about all films in order to be on the panel. This is going to be strictly a North American movie line list, kind of like the AFI. I'm sure there are a zillion cool lines from a zillion different places in the world, but for this list it is basically NA movies. We are going to take this seriously. All movie lines will be voted on by the panel. So if there are lines from 1931 or 2013 all will be given a fair look. As for you, the community here, EVERYONE can send in movie lines. We want to hear from all of you. Every line that is submitted will be cataloged in the sub forum and once we have enough then we will begin the process of going over them. I'll tell you now, obviously if you are sending in something from your personal favourite that has no traction with the rest of the world, it will be dismissed pretty quickly. So try not to send in the script from TDKR or a script from New Moon. These are lines that have ingrained themselves into the psyche of society. We all know lines like I'm the King of the world or There's no place like home or You talkin to me? Keep this in mind when submitting what you think should be considered. When submitting your lines, make sure you include the year of the film and the film of course. This is the thread that you can submit lines to and you can start doing it now if you want. If possible, please try not to submit the same line twice. It's not big deal if you do, but simply using control F will help you out. I'll make a list of all the lines that have been submitted so far. This will be in the second post of this thread. I'll provide more details later tonight. I hope to hear from many of you.
