Star Wars: A New Hope ranked 8th with 'May the Force be With
You'
Leave it up to AFI, the people behind the top 100
films, to come up with the next set of top 100 movie quotes. The films selected
date anywhere from present-day to just over the 1920's. A lot of the films,
or should I say quotes, you will know, but that doesn't mean you will approve
of their ranking.
Top 100 Movie Quotes
After reading through the movie quotes I have to
say that I disagree with a lot of it. It seems like a lot of the present-day
smaller [b-films] have been left out. Just to get you warmed up, here is
a sample of what to expect:
