The American Film Institute has come up with what they think are the top 100 movie quotes. But where is “Luke, I am your father”? Here’s the top 10:

1. “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn,” “Gone With the Wind,” 1939.

2. “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse,” “The Godfather,” 1972.

3. “You don’t understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could’ve been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am,” “On the Waterfront,” 1954.

4. “Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore,” “The Wizard of Oz,” 1939.

5. “Here’s looking at you, kid,” “Casablanca,” 1942.

6. “Go ahead, make my day,” “Sudden Impact,” 1983.

7. “All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up,” “Sunset Blvd.,” 1950.

8. “May the Force be with you,” “Star Wars,” 1977.

9. “Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night,” “All About Eve,” 1950.

10. “You talking to me?” “Taxi Driver,” 1976.

the rest of the list

We spend a good chunk of last night watching these on TV before sitting down to watch The Godfather (1972), which placed #2 on the list with “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.”

I’d like to see a top 100 list of comedy movie quotes. I think that list would spur plenty of debate. Any ideas what should be on it?

I’ll start: “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together… mass hysteria!” - Ghostbusters (1984)
