If you like Kilmer, you have got to see "The Ghost and the Darkness". Michael Douglass drops a turd of a performance in the movie, but it is still a great movie regardless.
I can't believe not even a mention of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".
I loved your number 1! You know your movies, thanks for the entire GWTW Quote. All I remember is swooning as an early teen watching Rhett.
God, I don't blame you. Clark Gable was so handsome..... and strong........ and gentle!
I, on the other hand, was swooning over the spoiled and lovely Scarlett.
By the way, I was able to meet Ms. Leigh at a country club here in Pittsburgh in the late 50's. She was visiting Ida Lupino who was a member of our club (The Pittsburgh Field Club).
By the way, check out the young Ida, she was a real cutie!
Check her out in "They Drive by Night". She was so sweet in Pittsburgh when she visited and never copped an attitude! And she could swing a golf club....... I caddied for her a couple of times .......... a very nice tipper! ;-)
I've thought about renting that movie and I think I will now.........thanks, bc.

LOL!!!!You're so right!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a bunch more from that great movie,................. remember when they were in the house of ill-repute and were being chased.......... the girl was Cloris Leachman......... Butch and Sundance jumped out onto the tin roof, then jumped down on the ground. In an attempt to scare the possy's horses away slapping them on their rumps.............. they failed to move the animals.
The great words were something like...." damn, who trained them?
Who are those guys?
Did anyone notice they left Ronald Reagan off the list? Am I wrong, but was any other member of the Screen Actors Guild elected President of the United States?
Also, another slap at John Wayne ... give me a break!
Ronald Reagan's greatest line is "Where's the rest me!?" from King's Row.
As for the Duke, howzabout "Lace 'em, and lace 'em tight." from "The Sands of Iwo Jimi."
Another goof up ... no Jimmy Cagney quote, and no Jimmy Stewart quote.
It looks like they deliberately downplayed the conservatives of the past (although they did include a representative sample of contemporary conservatives stars such as Ahnold, Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood).
"Ferris Bueller, you're my hero."
They did include Reagan's "Gipper" line. The Duke's long career didn't generate many memorable lines to be honest and those that do stick come from The Searchers, I think his best film, especially the visual coda.

>>> They included Pat O'Brian's line about Ronald Reagan. Perhaps this is close enough. My point about Ronald Reagan is that he went on to become President of the United States. You would think this would impress Hollywood, but it doesn't.
If you don't like my point about the Duke, consider that the are no lines from pro-war movies, not the line I suggested from "The Sands of Iwo Jima," and not anything from the greatest war movie of all time, "Patton," nor a line from "Braveheart." Yet, there's a line from the cyncially anti-war movie "Apocalypse Now" (which is a great movie, and should be represented in the list).
There was a time when "Angels with Dirty Faces" and "It's a Wonderful Life" were considered great films, with memorable lines. Yet, when reaching back in time, the panel latched onto only certain classics (and I have no quarrel with any of the older movies they picked, but I do have a problem with their selection of multiple quotations from a very select few).
On second thought, they did have a Cagney line, from "White Heat."
---------------------------
The only segment I watched did show RR delivering the line as he lay in bed, then they showed the O'Brien reprise. And this was about writers, not actors.
btw...My original tag line was "Rocky Sullivan died a coward". I might go back to it.
"Hello...My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."- Mandy Patinkin, "The Princess Bride"

Thanks, I didn't realize that this was Reagan's line. Bearing in mind that Reagan was included (along with Cagney), I am now thinking that I'm just quibbling with the undercard.
