afi's 100 greatest quotes...

i got to work this morning and as i was talking with derinda, she asked me if i had seen afi's greatest 100 movie quotes - it was on cbs last night...

no... i forgot it was going to be on and i went over to beaverton to take pictures for a story i'm writing... and then by the time i got home, i put in the two hours of gilmore girls i had taped... and then it was midnight...

sad...

i also missed youth palooza last night - the first one... rea is putting it together - but it's a youth event each week... i'm supposed to be there - i forgot all about it... i would think i'm a slacker but i missed it all for work... so i guess that's valid...

back to the movie quote thing... it blows my mind how much movies (and movie quotes) affect culture... they ooze into every part of life... i love it, but it's crazy... and i'm blown away at how i could write a list of the first half of quotes and most of the people that i know could finish them (or come close, anyway)... and then a lot would be able to name the movie... some quotes are well-known while the movies aren't quite as well known...

here's a little quiz... (from the 100 top quotes) - the completed answers are all orange. two are missing a title, one is missing the rest of the quote...

1. Toto, I've got a feeling... (we're not in Kansas, anymore) - Wizard of Oz
2. Here's looking at... (you, kid) - Casablanca
3. You've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" (well, do ya, punk?) - Dirty Harry 4. May the force... (be with you) - star wars
5. Love means... (never having to say you're sorry) - Love Story
6. E-T-... (phone home) - E.T.
7. You had me at... (hello) - Jerry McGuire
8. You can't handle... (the truth) - a few good men
9. If you build it... (he will come) - Field of Dreams
10. Mama always said life... (is like a box of chocolates) - Forrest Gump
11. Frankly, my dear... (I don't give a damn) - Gone with the Wind
12. There's no crying... (in baseball) - A League of Their Own
13. I'm king of... (the world) - Titanic
14. Hasta la... (vista, Baby) - Terminator 2: Judgment Day
15. I feel the need... (the need for speed) - Top Gun

finish the quote and name the movie - 100 points for completed quote, 100 points for movie name... (because they're easy)

maybe it's just me... but when someone says something about a movie, if i've seen it or am familiar enough with it, i can name the quotes... they come into my head immediately... for example, (these are from the 400 nominated quotes and the top100...) ***quotes in orange have already been guessed correctly.

1. I see dead people.
2. Houston, we have a problem.
3. Yo, Adrian!
4. My precious.
5. All-righty then!
6. Yeah, Baby!
7. You'll shoot your eye out!
8. As If!
9. I've been slimed!
10. Good morning, Vietnam!
11. You're gonna need a bigger boat.
12. I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way.
13. Wax on, Wax off
14. I am your number one fan.
15. Somebody stop me!
16. I know you are but what am I?
17. One, Two, Freddy's coming for you...
18. I want the fairy tale.
19. A boy's best friend is his mother...
20. They call it a "Royale with Cheese"
21. Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?
22. I'm an excellent driver.
23. I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.
24. Say "hello" to my little friend.
25. I am your father.
26. You talkin' to me?
27. These go to eleven.
28. To Infinity and Beyond!
29. Schwing!
30. I'll have what she's having. - When Harry Met Sally

Those quotes are all 11 words or less (most under 8)... and i only threw the 11 word one in because it's one of my favorite movies... how insane is that?

and how fun... it's more fun to play the quote guessing game than to name a movie and try to guess the most popular quote... so the correct movie title with each of these quotes is worth 100 points, as well...

i may put some of the longer quotes on later... but this will do for now... have fun and embrace the movie quote love...
