At least the usual suspects made it. After #80 they include some quotes I would never put in such a list! There are so many lines from Blazing Saddles that I would include - but they would probably offend many of the AFI tv special viewers!

[frankiep]

Decent list

Some that I would have put on there instead:

"Funny how? How am I funny? What do you mean, like a clown? I make you laugh, I'm here to amuse you?" Goodfellas

"Wax on, wax off" The Karate Kid

"The new phonebook is here! The new phonebook is here" The Jerk

"You're my brother and I love you, but never take sides against the Family again" The Godfather II

"They can take our lives, but they can never take our FREEDOM!" Braveheart
