The Top 100 Movie Lines of all Time as chosen by you, the members (on hold till end of summer)

[baumer]

Well, I'm trying to hold off on posting this until @Auteur Panda has completed the top 100 list, but it's getting late here and I have to work tomorrow.  So please forgive me if it goes up before the list is done.

 

Three years ago, we did the first edition of the top 100 movie lines of all time, but we did not open it up to all the members of the site, not exactly anyway.  We had a panel of eleven people, four different age groups.  We asked all members of the site to send in their top 100 movie lines, and then the panel decided what lines made the list and then we decided by committee how the ranking went.  

 

   

 

  

 

This time will be different.  We will do it exactly the same way Panda did it for the top 100 films.  The scoring will be like this:

 

 

The Rules

1. Create a list of your 100 best movie lines, ranked, and send them to me and Panda by pm.  They must be sent by pm in order to be counted, I won't count lists just posted in this thread.

2. The deadline to submit your lists will be July 1st at midnight.  This gives you six weeks to send them in.  

3. All films prior to 2018 will be eligible.  You can choose any movie line you think deserves a place and there is no set criteria, but since this is a list of the 100 best movie lines, we would ask that you consider different things like longevity, relevance, transcendence, meaning, what kind of impact it has had on the world.  We also understand that there will be movie lines that are personal to you and you will submit some of these.  There is nothing we can do about this.  I would personally hope that all movies lines will be considered by all members, regardless of your age. 

4. There are a million movies out there, some of them have iconic lines.  Please choose your list wisely and with thought, not just your favourite films, but the lines that have left an impact on you and the world in some way.

 

  

 

5. The scoring will be done like this

Number 1: 10 Points

2 through 3: 9 Points

4 through 5: 8 Points

6 through 10: 7 points

11 through 15: 6 Points

16 through 25: 5 Points

26 through 35: 4 Points

36 through 50: 3 Points

51 through 75: 2 Point

76 through 100: 1 Point

 

Movies lines will first be ranked by points, if they're tied by points then that tie will be broken by which movie has the movie is on the most lists, if that is tied then it'll go to the movie with the most number 1 picks, then 2 picks, and so on.  In other words, there won't be a tie.

 

This should be a lot of fun.  Enjoy and may the odds be ever in your favour that your favourite lines make the list.

 

Panda and I will do the presentation sometime in July.  

 

Here is the original first list from 2015:

 

Here is the entire list, and the points received per film and how many of us voted for it to be on the list (out of 11). The points for some films were incredibly close, as you will see.

1. Create a list of your 100 best movie lines, ranked, and send them to me and Panda by pm.  They must be sent by pm in order to be counted, I won't count lists just posted in this thread.

26 through 35: 4 Points

36 through 50: 3 Points

51 through 75: 2 Point

76 through 100: 1 Point

 

Movies lines will first be ranked by points, if they're tied by points then that tie will be broken by which movie has the movie is on the most lists, if that is tied then it'll go to the movie with the most number 1 picks, then 2 picks, and so on.  In other words, there won't be a tie.

 

This should be a lot of fun.  Enjoy and may the odds be ever in your favour that your favourite lines make the list.

 

Panda and I will do the presentation sometime in July.  

 

Here is the original first list from 2015:

 

Here is the entire list, and the points received per film and how many of us voted for it to be on the list (out of 11). The points for some films were incredibly close, as you will see.

And let me encourage folks to have some romantic bones in their body:)...let me encourage right now "Here's looking at you, kid", "You complete me", "Love means never having to say you're sorry" and (my personal favorite comedic line of all time) - "Husbands should be like Kleenex. Soft, strong, and disposable"...

I have no hope anything but the regulars will show up but will once again rep a few of the great lines from the brilliant (and practically unknown on this site) Sweet Smell Of Success (1957)

 

• You're dead, son. Get yourself buried.
• The cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river.
• I'd hate to take a bite outta you. You're a cookie full of arsenic.
• [holding an unlit cigarette] Match me, Sidney.
• Come back, Sidney... I wanna chastise you...
• Here's your head; what's your hurry?
• Don't do anything I wouldn't do! That gives you a lot of leeway...
• My right hand hasn't seen my left hand in thirty years.
• Son, I don't relish shooting a mosquito with an elephant gun, so why don't you just shuffle along?
• Don't remove the gangplank, Sidney - you may wanna get back onboard.
• It's a dirty job, but I pay clean money for it.
• Conjugate me a verb. For instance, "to promise."
• I often wish I were deaf and wore a hearing aid. With a simple flick of a switch, I could shut out the greedy murmur of little men.

[baumer]

Make sure when you send your list in you tell us what movie your line is from. I'm not going to look it up.

[RandomCat]

This seems like a lot of work...I'll actually have to put thought into it.
