by James Earl Jones in The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
This clip shows the quotes from 1 - 47 from the AFI's 100 Years…100 Movie Quotes list. The video for quotes 48 - 100 are here and the full list is here.
A jury consisting of 1,500 film artists, critics, and historians selected "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," spoken by Clark Gable in the Civil War epic Gone with the Wind as the most memorable American movie quotation of all time.
Casablanca has the most quotes of any movie on the list, with six. Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz are next, with three each. Fourteen different actors, ten men and four women, each have two or more quotations attributed to them. Leading this select ensemble is Humphrey Bogart, who has five, four of them from Casablanca. Bette Davis and Vivien Leigh are tied for the most quotations by an actress, with three. Marlon Brando, Tom Hanks, and Al Pacino also have three apiece. James Cagney, Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood, Charlton Heston, Judy Garland, Jack Nicholson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dustin Hoffman and Gloria Swanson each have two.
One actor has four quotes playing the same character in the same movie: Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca (#5, #20, #43 and #67). Three actresses have two quotes playing the same character in the same movie: Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind (#31 and #59), Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard (#7 and #24) and Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz" (#4 and #23).
Three actors have quotes playing the same character in different movies: Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan in Sudden Impact (#6) and Dirty Harry (#51); Sean Connery as James Bond in Dr. No (#22) and Goldfinger (#90); and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator (#37 and #76) in The Terminator and T2.
One of the quotations - #22, "Bond. James Bond." - was spoken by a single character, played by six different actors across 22 different movies.[1]
Four of the quotations on the list consist of one word, or a single word repeated: "Rosebud", from Citizen Kane, "Plastics", from The Graduate, "Attica! Attica!" from Dog Day Afternoon, and "Toga! Toga!" from National Lampoon's Animal House. The longest is Katharine Hepburn's quote from On Golden Pond ("Listen to me, mister. You're my knight in shining armor...") at 40 words.
Three of the quotations were taken from actual events:
Lou Gehrig's farewell speech ("The Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth") from The Pride of the Yankees (#38)
Apollo 13's distress call ("Houston, we have a problem"; the official NASA transcript is "Houston, we've had a problem") (#50)
George Cohan's signature line ("My mother thanks you,...") from Yankee Doodle Dandy (#97)
In addition, Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny" line from The Shining (#68) was Johnny Carson's introduction on The Tonight Show.
