100 Better Movie Quotes

I, like many in my generation (the generation of Cabbage Patch Kids), spend many nights holding deep conversations with my friends. We generally talk about important issues such as nuclear war, global warming and Brad Pitt. But no matter what we talk about, there is always one very common theme—we constantly quote movie lines in our arguments.

So, of course, I was super excited when the American Film Institute put together a list of the top 100 movie quotes of all time. After reading the list, I came to the conclusion, like many of you probably did, that it was created by two chimpanzees, a donkey and a paper towel. I mean, how could they include lines from such forgettable movies as Apollo 13 and Beyond The Forest?

In an attempt to rectify things (huh, huh, I said "rectify"), the brain trust at WillYee.com has put together the Top 100 Better Movie Quotes. It’s starts with number 100 so there’s some suspense when you reach number one. We tried not to have too many quotes from the same movie, but some deserved two or three spots. Enjoy.
