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

Recommended Posts







@baumer @aabattery

 

While the entries come in from BOT members for the top 100 best movie lines, I have a top of my own I've been working on for a few months now. Will keep people entertained, it's a different kind of top, and one which hasn't been done on these forums before! Do you think I can post it in the main forum for visibility? When you guys are tired of seeing it (after a day or 2?), just move it to The Speakeasy? :ph34r:

 

I list box office information for all the movies I could find information for, so it isn't entirely off-topic. Also, not making this up as I go, the top is already fully completed, I'm not gonna bail!

 

If not then that's ok too, I'll post it in the Speakeasy and tag some people!

Also I know some people put meme quotes as a joke, but you should actually consider those.

 

If we’re talking about movie lines that are ingrained in pop-culture beyond the film, becoming a meme is a definition of it.

 

”One does not simply walk into Mordor”

 

Or

 

”Oh, hai Mark!”

for example are both memes but are iconic quotes now because of it (even if they may not be the most significant quotes in their movie)

I agree with this.  Movie lines that are considered the best of all time should go beyond your favourite films, they should, in some cases, be lines that have transcended film and have become something iconic.  For example, the "I will find you and I will kill you," speech from Taken is one of the iconic scenes in film over the last 20 years.  Special set of skills and all that.  It's a bit too long of a speech to be considered one or two lines, but it is something most of us know.

 

I would ask that you consider things like this when making your list.

 

Of course there are lines that are very personal to you and you can include those as well.  For example, I have the line from Angel Heart (how terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise) that I doubt anyone else will have on there.

 

So basically you do you and I'll do me and over the next couple of months this should be a lot of fun.

Office Space, Michael Bolton

”PC Load letter? What the fuck does that mean?”

 

I FEEL THIS IN MY BONES. Every time I fight with the office copy, I quote this. Every time.

FYC. You either know the line or you don't. 

 

Dodge this.

 

Its showtime!

 

Ideas are bulletproof.

 

You chose wisely.

 

Wakanda forever!

 

We all have it coming, kid.

 

What's in the box?

 

He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off! 

 

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

 

I'm a jedi. Like my father before me.

 

You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

 

We're on a mission from God.

 

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!

 

This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this.

I say everyone who was going to vote for “Wakanda Forever!” Or “Mr Stark, I don’t feel so good!” use this quote as your surrogate

 

”Baby, you’re gonna miss that plane!”
