If you haven’t figured it out yet, I love movies.  Almost all types. They are just so much fun, and there is so much that goes into it. Well, I saw this and I couldn’t help myself. This is an awesome list of the most memorable quotes of movie history. Most of them are not from my lifetime, but I know them somehow anyways. I know some of the more casual moviegoers will look at it and say, "I have seen all of 5 of the movies on this list." And you will recognize quotes and not realize where it came from. It is really neat. It makes me want to see more of the vintage movies that I haven’t seen or haven’t seen in awhile. Check it out over at JoBlo.

Here are 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 question is, what should be on the list that isn’t. Ideas?
There are a few that come to mind. "My Name is Inigo Montoya", "Don’t call me Shirley", "I want you to hit me as hard as you can", "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake". Just a few of my faves.
