This does reflect my opinion. Lines are now open for comment.

Today's thoughts:

• The list was compiled by AFI in 2005, so newer movies are not included. What's missing from this list?
• Check the link for quotes #51-#100 to see if your favorite is included. (Yes, ". . . and don't call me Shirley" is included at #79)
• Six of AFI's Top 100 Movie Quotes (and five of the top 50) come from Casablanca. Nine of the Top 100 quotes come from Humphrey Bogart movies.
• FR's most used movie quote, Capt. Renault's "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here' didn't make the Top 100 list. FR's first or second most-quoted movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail ("A moose once bit my sister"; "I got better"; African and European sparrows and coconuts; the Frenchman at the Castle; the 'girls' at Camelot; "Bring out your dead!/I'm not dead yet!"; shrubberies; the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch; "It's only a flesh wound!"; Dennis the peasant; etc.) didn't make the list of the Top 100 quotes.

What's missing from the list?

Come on now....where in the heck is “I’ll be back?”

"Say hello to my little friend"

If the list omitted that, it is a pretty lame list.

Put her in charge! From Aliens.

No Carl the greenskeeper quotes, and no ‘Lighten up, Francis’ so this list is suspect right out of the gate.

I have a confession to make, I am not left handed.

50. Houston, we have a problem. (Apollo 13, 1995)

As a fan of Houston sports teams, if I hear an opposing team's troll spout this one more time, I'll puke.

[Vigilanteman]

How about the original True Grit line from John Wayne?

"Ned, I mean to kill you in one minute or take you back to Ft. Smith to hang at Judge Parker's convenience. Which will it be?"

I've used variations of that theme and Kim Darby's negotiating skills from the film in business successfully for many years.
