As you all know, I fancy myself a movie aficionado; therefore when I see a link that says 100 Best Movie Lines in 200 seconds, I can't resist. Also, as I've previously stated, we are all suckers for any sort of list/countdown. VH1 has roped me into watching some awful countdowns that I'd rather not admit to viewing. This Movie Lines compilation is actually pretty good. I have to imagine that whoever threw this compilation together is under 40 because they pulled quotes from a lot of contemporary movies. Enjoy.
A few of my personal favorites include:
#12 from The Sandlot (1993)- The entire story that Squints tells is priceless. Also, I'm pretty sure The Sandlot is the movie that I have seen the most times in my lifetime. I want to say that Dumb and Dumber, Rudy, The Shawshank Redemption, and A Few Good Men round out the top 5.
#62 from Wall Street (1987)- Michael Douglas took home the Oscar for Best Actor in 1988 for his role as corporate raider Gordon Gecko. This famous line couldn't be more accurate. Greed is what fuels capitalism. Also, let the record show that I've been on an unintentional Michael Douglas movie binge of late. I can't think of a modern day comparison because we have so many lead actors now, but he was the guy in Hollywood during the late 80's and early 90's.
#79 from Scent of A Woman (1992)- Another Best Actor performance, this time by Al Pacino. I think this is my favorite of the 100 lines because I find myself saying it more and more.
I'm sure you noticed a few actors with more than one line in this list of the Best 100. I could have done my math wrong, but here is what I was able to tally up.
Jack Nicholson- 4
Arnold Schwarzenegger- 4
Tom Hanks- 3
Al Pacino-2
Bill Murray- 2
Brad Pitt- 2
