I agree with all the princess bride ones
One of my favorite movies of all time!

Oh, yeah, I was glad to see the Pricess Bride ones in there too. Classic movie for sure. Personally, I would have liked to see “Laugh it up, Fuzzball” said by Han Solo in Star Wars on the list

Not a very good list in my book.
Aug 4th, 2004 at 19:27:35
What would you add to the list Jeff?

I showed The Princess Bride to my youth group on my last Sunday night at church recently.
Ah, passing the torch to the next generation…

Those were pretty good, but personally I would have like to see one from Tommy Boy-it has a ton of great one liners.
Aug 5th, 2004 at 11:15:35
I agree, Tommy Boy is awesome!
” I’ve seen some crazy stuff in my time, but that… was… AWESOME!!! Oh, sorry about your car, man”
“Your dad could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves”
Tommy: “They have a thin candy shell. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.”
Richard: “I think your brain has a thick candy shell.”

I don’t think I watch movies as much as you all.. I couldn’t quote quite so many lines… In fact I’ve not even seen all of the movies that the lines came from. Oh well. It was a fun list to read. Jeff, I think I knew more of the lines/movies on your list.
Aug 5th, 2004 at 12:33:27
I am not sure that I’ve seen any of the movies on that origional list. So I added my own

Wow- Jeff killed the EW list with his own stuff. However the whole “Princess Bride” thing is fascinating. Why would it dominate over so many ‘classics’? It was good — but not amazing.
Taxi Driver, The Godfather et al are in a whole other league.

Something is wrong when one movie has 1/4 of the list.

I agree with Jeff and Glenn. The Princess Bride isn’t what I would consider a classic. I didn’t care much for the EW list. But I thought Jeff’s list was fantastic. I think everyone of those should have made the list, definitely classic lines. Way to go Jeff!!
